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.

    You’re laying this at the feet of the media.

    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. 👍
