I think the koch brothers might disagree with that...

What's different is that tech has allowed a level of control never seen before, and the mob reigns supreme as a result.

It's a lot more difficult for a single entity like the koch brothers to affect the message because people now get their information from channels they can't possibly control.

But you know who can?

the tech giants. And those tech giants were founded by liberals because that's the nature of what liberals do (explore, vs conservatives who simply run things).

so what you have is tech now allows for unprecedented control and that tech was created by liberals, so you're seeing these astounding levels.

But when it sways back to the side of the conservatives, and it will, you'll watch them have the same level of control.
