I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions.
The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.
![/hat have you seen, heard, or read about Roger Marshall over the last few weeks? (Among those who say it's made them feel less favorable toward him.)
"He sent people to prison for medical debt. He was shouted down at a public speaking event."
"He arrests people for $50."
"I read an article in national news about him suing patients and some getting arrested over as little as $50. Most all were young mothers or pregnant women."
"That he sends delinquent patients to jail. That he does whatever Trump tells him to do."
"That he had his [redacted] handed to him at the State Fair, and maybe if he would listen to the people he represents, he would know how angry they are with him."
"I didn't think it was possible for me to think less of that horrible woman-hating, intellectually lazy fool, but seeing that he mercilessly attacked 700 patients with lawsuits, sheriffs, and 18% collections interestis disgusting."
"Total scumbag, fake Kansan, sued those innocent people, ruining the lives of our neighbors."
"Bro is literally robbing poor women."
"Collecting bills from a poor woman who apparently gave birth and then had her arrested for nonpayment. People should pay their bills, but some people are simply unable to. And he is charging something like 16% on the balance, which is ridiculous. I just do not think he is the right person for the position. I do not think he is [sic] done a good job for Kansas or provided the support that Kansas needs."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:blqiz2oshcyeeqptyh22kyle/bafkreifaogtl55wpvpv3lky47ihtan63iwqvwf5s7chtytsyxxatpduk5a)
