Pay attention to what?? The stuff we’ve all lived through for the last ~~five~~ ten years??
This report is bullshit. It’s an illustration of the demise of the media and real journalism. It’s misinformation to solidify a narrative.
I know. Most people don’t care about policy - most notability DT. I understand that clicks aren’t gained through real journalism. This is exactly how we ended up with this dickhole to begin with. Every media outlet flooded their blocks with every minute story they could drum up about Trump. This left little time to cover any other alternative candidate. Everyone is obsessed with loving or hating this guy. WTF are we doing? No one is changing their mind about him at this point. How, I don’t know. How the fuck any living human could possibly consider this shitstain for anything more than a janitor is beyond me.
The point is that these stories are misleading. It doesn’t matter what you think about the person or the outlet doing the reporting. We should be more critical of the truth and the mistruths we’re being fed. Had anyone successfully made this argument in 2015, perhaps we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
We ended up with this monster because news outlets were actively protecting him because he was good for ratings.
The sanewashing is finally coming to an end and people who don't follow politics will hear about this.
But that is apparently bad in your eyes. Well, we can probably guess who's eyes but...
As for nobody changing their minds? Multiple republicans openly support Kamala. The fucking KKK put in for.. jill Stein. Minds are changing. So stop actively fighting against sanity.
When polls are indicating that half of the United States of America are planning to vote for - THIS GUY - I don't think minds are changing at all.
I would respectfully submit that you also are suffering from delusions.
