I don’t think media political endorsements are effective at persuasion in any direction. But I do see them as touchstones of personal reality. When a touchstone is suddenly gone, it’s as if you were transported to the future and when you make your way back home and it’s just different and the warmly remembered core of your existence no longer warms you and you have to reconnoiter the grounds and find what’s what and what’s where and who can you trust now. It’s unsettling and disturbing and if discovered to be the result of one or another unnecessary human failing instead of normal aging behavior, then it can also be enraging.
