Even Fox News at its height wasn’t “right wing”. If anything, it was more centric than anything else.

Reality is, most of media is and has been left-of-center since I’ve been aware and watching it. There are no real “conservative” sources or outlets. They all want the same things, have the same mores, espouse the same values.

It’s a cultural lockstep, right off the cliffs. Same as during the early Progressive era that led to Teddy Roosevelt and Wilson, who really were the same sort of control-freak moralists, no matter what they might have believed or spoken.

Not sure where it’s all going to end, other than in the powers-that-be overextending themselves and ginning up opposition that they’ll have no clue how to handle.

Tell me a US TV series or a film that exposes right, conservative, libertarian values?

There is no “the culture.” There are cultures, and they are at war.

Unity? Not in the cards.

The media supported more than 20 assassinations and sexist attacks in what they called “mostly peaceful protests”.

He was in power, so he need to placate things, he even had the help of the Democrat/Marxist instigated violence that made some traditional democrats abandoned it.
Instead of showing and increasing that contrast he behaves to make precisely the contrary.

Then he and some Trump supporters decided it was a good idea to go to a trap.
No strategy, no thinking, just emotion.

The event was announced and known for some time. The attendees were not just Trump supporters but some have noticed that there were those who were prepared to seize the moment. Capitol police seemed to allow the attendees to get up close to the Capitol where they knew there would be attempts to break in. Once that happened and the Congressionals were sheltering in place, it was a perfect time to do a little espionage. Pelosi’s laptop was stolen suppposedly by special forces, and is being examined. Apparently some interesting stuff but no details yet. I am sure that Trump was horrified at the way things played out. He wanted the debates and the evidence presented, not to be accused of this kind of chaos. But the Trumpers said, hey since we’re here, we might as well storm the Bastille. Alas, when you storm the Bastille, you plan ahead. You don’t just storm it, take selfies and leave. There was much misjudgment that day, but for some people, it was an opportunity. Things aren’t always as simple as they seem.

The stupid ‘coup’ aside, the focus on Trump and normal Americans as LARPers in fantasy land is typical liberal propaganda. Where were all the denouncements against biden voters looting, shooting, burning and murdering since 2016? The double standards and hypocrisies are nauseating. I’ve had liberals mock me for noting these things. I am seriously to the point of disassociating with anyone who espouses any liberal progressive garbage.

Tens of thousands of people who traveled into D.C. didn’t loot a single store, spraypaint a single building or vehicle or even enter the Captial building – which also did not get lotted, graffit ridden, or burned. But by all means “riot” is the necessary lable, along with “coup”.
