Would an old western radio drama get through to old, white, conservative MAGAts? Let me see if I’ve got the outline right…
There’s a small mining town, and the corrupt, inept governor/sherriff of the town has mismanaged it into the ground. The Private Equity “crooked property developer” rides in, pays the leader some amount of money, then pays himself a fee to strip the place to the bones and sell off the goods, the proceeds of which he also gives to himself. Then he runs the black-lunged townspeople out on a rail and sells their houses and land to himself, giving himself a bonus for the effort. Then defaults on the debts the town made to the railroad companies, and gives himself a bonus for that.
And, ugh, fine, if it makes them feel better, the day can be saved by a rich heir disguised as a hobo riding the rails to find his hobo princess…
