I don’t know what the “solution” is, but it was really obvious when my “local” paper turned into a repeater for CNN. It used to be pretty poor, but it was never this bad. I don’t subscribe it to him particularly, but this Trump-Era literally broke a lot of people’s brains, it has a downstream effect.
It unpleasant to watch journalists who were screaming every day that the guy is tearing apart almost every US institution and irrecoverably destroys this country, with the ultimate goal of him staying in power.
The journalists have seen these stories from other failed states, and they cannot unsee the similarities. And they were right. Just take a look at the proceedings of the Jan 6th committee. If it was not a dozen of people in the correct roles (mostly Republicans), on Jan 6th, he could had indeed achieved his goal.
It is us who were closing our eyes for 4 years, reassuring ourselves that his presidency was a normal presidency.
Nothing was normal.
Right, good post.
Yea, I was talking about about the hyperbolic nonsense that we've saw for years, things that were not based in reality, but complete media created perception. But you make a compelling counter with Jan 6th and righteous fear.
