## Resource

Michael Cohen addresses the exhausted majority of Americans who feel alienated by a media and political landscape driven by manufactured outrage and partisan performance. Drawing on his unique history as a former insider, he argues that gaining clarity on how power functions is a heavy burden that reveals how both the ideological left and right have abandoned truth for comfort and loyalty. He critiques a broken system where dysfunction masquerades as conviction, lamenting that citizens have been manipulated into viewing their neighbors as enemies rather than fellow travelers.
