Looking at this the other way around, I think people want to conceive of politics as an objective science when in reality it's much more of an art form. Steve Bannon realized earlier than most people that politics is all about narrative and has used that realization to forward his political goals. Curtis is similar, although I don't think he has as specific a political motivation as Bannon. I think he more just likes narrative for narrative's sake and happens to have chosen politics as the backdrop for that. Probably not fully understanding how people would respond to it.
