WARNING: DO NOT stop in the middle of dissertation writing to talk about Taylor Swift on a podcast by yourself. You can't HANDLE it, Elliott. And OH, you're saying bad things about Taylor Swift? Well now we got Bad Blood, I guess. No, I love Taylor Swift. I do. I think she's fine. What wasn't fine was the series of propaganda campaigns that began in the 20th century and utilized fledgling mass media technology to turn the United States away from the idea of domestic economic programs.
