The "enemy" is the "media" ...??

Trump is right to a point. The "enemy" is the media that does not call him on his lies and makes up alternate facts to support political positions. They are always "fair and balanced", even when they have to lie to balance out the truth.

We know who the enemy is - it is those that ignore the facts and make shit up.

Our nation has been oppressively propagandized over the past 35+ years by persistent and inflammatory right wing hate radio and television stations.

A very large contingent of Americans, already pre-disposed to conservative ideology, have been systematically brainwashed over the past several decades.

The result is an America that has been conditioned to disbelieve anything but for the messaging of their media outlets. They can say that it's day when in fact it's night; that left is right and up is down...and that Obama left Trump a mess, or that Trump has been extraordinary since Inauguration Day.

They can say that because they believe it.

Our. People. Are. Sick.

They are the guinea pigs in a horrible social engineering experiment perpetrated to secure votes for Republican candidates.

Trump is the symptom. The American people are ill.
