2025-05-29 Dodge v Ford and Citizens United

I am going to post this to LinkedIn, but I wanted to add it to my personal blog first just so LinkedIn cannot claim first dibs:

Dodge vs Ford Citizens United Feedback Loop
Dodge vs Ford Citizens United Feedback Loop

Want to explain to anybody why American politics seems so cooked?

Just prompt any decent modern LLM with the following:

"Tell me about the Dodge vs Ford / Citizens United feedback loop.."

What is interesting is that this dynamic is not widely discussed in political discourse. In fact, I coined the phrase "Dodge vs Ford / Citizens United Feedback Loop." If you search the web, you won't even find the 5 words "Dodge vs Ford Citizens United" (until this post and its corresponding blog post get consumed into the system).

Yet despite not knowing about this feedback loop, LLMs consistently identify 1 thing - the unchecked influence of corporations upon American politics.

What are other prompts that encourage LLMs to explain why the system works exactly as designed without relying on terms already saturated in political debate?
