We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

Precisely. These policies are so unpopular that Republicans know that to communicate or even allow discussion of them in the media is dangerous. So they force the narrative to be about something else. Erasing that destruction and violence for the sake of clicks and engagement.
I am not. You are correct, this is who American voters are today. I am pointing out that the current media cycle is part of a system that ensures they stay that way.
What is erased? This was known long before this recent election. This is who trump was in his first term. We saw it. It wasn’t a secret. It was in the headlines then and in the last two elections too.
You’re laying this at the feet of the media. Its not. Its American voters either advocating for it or apathetic to it.
Didn’t say that, no. I am laying this at the feet of Republicans.
It’s pretty simple. Americans aren’t crazy smart. They forget things almost immediately. The media serves to remind dumb, overworked Americans of what happened, and so it has some sway among voters. I’m not saying it’s 100% or even more than half, but some. And Republicans are using that power.
If you can’t admit that, you’re just silly, and if you can then we agree. 👍
