I'm tired of hearing how looking down on people for supporting Trump makes them resentful and just forces them to support Trump even more. A shaky argument in 2016, even more hollow in 2020, and ridiculous in 2024. People who support Trump now know what he's selling and want it.

And it sells out the core concept of who we are. A country where whites are losing ground. As a white, good for US. We should be a democracy.

Couldn't get enough of. And the teabaggers before that. And the swift boat liars before that. And the 'everything a Clinton does is a crime' crowd before that. And before that--

Say, it looks like our traitor scum media mollycoddles the fascists on the regular!

The vast majority of US media are agents of and for the oligarchy. And they're paid big money to remain so.
