MODERATORS
I mean, they're definitely not providing the circus.
The phrase literally refers to giving people loaves of bread and a more frequent holding of games and public entertainment to keep people happy, not the notion of just distracted.
The current admin is making it harder for people to meet basic needs, and not doing anything to pump approval ratings.
A more modern sense would be to look for ways to make life easier that doesn't fix anything, and to make life better that doesn't improve anything, but has the perk of being explicitly because of the admin. A check for $500 and a set of movie tickets.
Psh. It’s not like they could fund a bunch of television and radio stations that can broadcast things going on in a government owned center for arts and entertainment. That would never work right?!?
Oh they're providing a circus. They're all three rings.
