Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

It was pretty strange to see the president speak to congress that wasn’t a brain dead corpse. He didn’t stumble around and mumble his words. He even walked through and shook hands and talked to people without looking totally lost and confused. I gotta say it’s much easier to feel confident in governments ability to govern when those in charge aren’t drooling at the chin and ******** themselves.

I think it’s an open question as to whether the majority of Americans will ever understand this or if the flood of nonsense (flooding the zone with ****) will be enough for Trump and his wretched cult to escape accountability for the horrific policies they’ve implemented these last few months. You know that in the next few months Trump and his propaganda apparatus is going to blame Ukraine, DEI, CRT, librarians, antifa, and Hillary for the tanking economy. Is our media environment so broken that he’ll get away with it? Or will enough Americans finally wise up to what the billionaire class and their useful idiot Trump are doing?

It's that broken. The majority of his supporters consume only conservative media. Media has become too siloed and it is too easy to completely wall off any input from the other parts of the political spectrum. Look at Buck on here and the others, obviously consuming nothing but breitbart and fox to the point where when they are called out they have zero further responses. It's the most divisive we've ever been as a country and it's driven by the echo chambers of social media and the entirely partisan media driving tribal thinking and endless confirmation bias. Basically we'll never get past it.

Don't lose hope. It's possible to get partly past it by trying to make friends with the other side of fence and spending time with them. It's challenging and slow, though. But every day somewhere on Earth, a former victim of propaganda sees the light.

I have an issue with this framing. Why does that responsibility fall on people like LG? When will MAGA put some skin in the game and open up to the majority of the country that they continually demean and harass?

Sorry @LogGrad98. The media is 92% biased towards Democrats. Conservatives are forced to see both sides. Democrats and liberals are the only ones that are truly siloed.
