a lot of Trump's worst stuff is his rants on Truth Social, so "conservatives don't like to read" remains undefeated. a horrible but perhaps necessary seal to break would be for outlets to start using a well-marked deep fake of Trump's current voice to read his posts aloud.

yes, there's a jump scare at the end of the Biosphere 2 documentary when Steve Bannon shows up.
