This is memory-holing in real time. Tens of millions watched the summer of 2020 on live television — the burning precinct in Minneapolis, the boarded-up downtowns that never fully came back, the businesses that never reopened. To call that “very limited” on national TV, while treating a single afternoon at the Capitol as the gravest threat in the republic’s history, isn’t analysis. It only works if the audience has no memory and never saw the insurance bill. Marlow’s right: the companies that paid the claims remember exactly how limited it was. $𝟐 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. ‘𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝’ 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
