I'd certainly not dispute that they'd be willing and able to use kayfabe.
Let's explore your theory a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be that the Bush/Liberal conflict was created as a diversion.
Firstly, what did it divert us from? The Patriot Act? No, liberals used to be strongly against this. Moving the war into the next territory? No, it put liberals in opposition to the war.
If the media had continued to frame Iraq positively couldn't they have carried out subsequent invasions into Libya, Iran, etc. more easily, with the full weight of the military, backed by broad public support and taxes? Rather than having to do the sloppy drone strikes/funding the rebels bit?
My counter-theory is that the behavior of the media is explained more logically, not as a distraction, but as a disappointment and need to course-correct from some failure on Bush's part.
Or it could be that managing the public is a more complex art than I'm giving it credit for, and there's a need to alternate parties so that the public perceives their political actions have an effect.
Trump may play 4D chess, but they definitely play at least 3D chess.
I’m not saying I’m correct, either. Would take a lot of sauce before I’d consider staking that claim. Just throwing out some principles they seem to be after, some goals they did go after, and some actuals that were given cover by some of their moves.
One of the more frustrating things they would do from 2002-2016 was calling their shots - they’d say exactly what the were going to do, start working on hem, put out gaslighting narratives to their base, with the media repeating the gaslighting.
It was so frustratingly effective. It isn’t obvious yet exactly how the game board or engagement method got shifted, even with our favorite psyop. My best current guess is that key pieces to their objectives are taken out far upstream, a la Baghdaddi, that allowed for critical narratives and methods to be severely disrupted. With those potentials closed, it gives us the extra time we need to expose the intentions.
