Hah! I've never actually heard that joke but it's a good one.

And yes, that is definitely what they'll do - every time something major happens in our society I've observed the mass media following the playbook from Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" almost exactly.

That being said, every "big event" is an opportunity for mass radicalization of the working class and these "big events" are happening more and more often. It's like the quote from the IRA: "We only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always".

Electing Trump was already a response to these events but unfortunately people chose a billionaire who mainly cares about themselves. The Russian revolution and the nazis were also a response to events but in either case the people made bad choices....
