Biden Names the Bad Fairy Tale
“This is not rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical,” said then President Biden. “His first rally for the 2024 campaign opened with a choir of Jan 6th insurrectionists singing from prison on a cell phone while images of the Jan 6th riot played on a big screen behind him at his rally. Can you believe that? This is like something out of a fairy tale — a bad fairy tale.”

Biden grasped that something folkloric was happening — he named it a “bad fairy tale.” But he and his advisers did not understand the POWER of what they had identified. Naming the spectacle was not enough to break its spell. Understanding Disinfolklore — how folklore-borne archetypes are weaponised — is necessary to counter it.
