Overview:
In this urgent and clear-eyed article, political thinker Mike Bedenbaugh argues that America is no longer divided by ideology — but by branding. He traces how both parties hollowed out terms like “liberal” and “conservative” until they became meaningless slogans, leaving space for a new kind of politics built on performance, dominance, and personality. With the republic at stake, he calls for a national return to principle over theatre.
