    “it is crazy he is able to run after all that has happened.”

    It’s not that far fetched when you talk to anyone who listens to right wing media or religious channels. I just had the misfortune of getting into a political conversation my grandmother started and she only watches religious t.v and yet she was going on about “it’s so awful what they are putting Trump through, they’re just going after him in the courts because they don’t like him. Biden and all of them are criminals it’s so sad.”

    Like for fucks sake the actual fucking criminal going to court, being proven to be a criminal (or at the very least running a fraudulent company), is somehow not a criminal, but the old dude who the right has been attacking forever and can’t find anything that’s real to pin him on is the “real” criminal…

    There’s nothing surprising about all the support for Trump because we live in a society without a real functioning press. We live in a society of money hungry immoral assholes who will drive this world into the dirt if it means more money for them and their shareholders, that’s including CNN, MSNBC, ABC, you name it. They’re all guilty of abandoning their responsibility as the press in favor of their “responsibility” to make excessive profits as a corporation via eyeball catching PROPAGANDA.

    We are awash in propaganda.
