In reply to the discussion: Evangelicals are a big part of the problem. [View all]jayschool2013
(2,309 posts)24. The "Deep State"
Every time we read something in the Times, the Post or some other reputable news source about bureaucrats resigning in protest, the alternate right-wing media universe celebrates it as Trump further draining the swamp.
Until we can get to a point where we're all reading our news from similar sources, we'll never understand how the other can believe what appears to be the exact opposite of reality.
And I have my doubts whether we'll get to that point without some catastrophic upheaval. When those in my chosen profession are being singled out as the enemies of the state, we're not in a good place, obviously.

I don't believe in this stuff, but Trump seems like a good candidate for the anti-christ himself.
