Liberal elites are Donald Trump's greatest allies

[BillBanneker]

At first the press, especially the television press, could not get enough of Trump. He received 23 times the coverage of Sen. Bernie Sanders, who spoke about things that do not make for great television—inequality and corporate corruption. Trump brought in the advertising dollars. 2016 was CNN’s most profitable year. Then, alarmed at Trump’s ascendancy, the press set out to destroy him. The press applied its Darth Vader Force choke. It did not work. They tried it again and again. The Force had deserted them.

This is one of the biggest takeaways for me. The corporate media enabled and embraced trump's fukkery (until it became obvious that trump had a chance at the impossible, and then it was too late), which only benefited trump in the end. The trump team knows this and is going to continue to use lies and exaggerations and the corporate media loves this kind of stuff since its high on fukkery and short on substance.

You're gonna take this neoliberalism up the ass and you're GOING TO fukkING LIKE IT. Stop complaining!

Dems are more unpopular than the POTUS and the VP.

Think about that for a second.

They'll just put their head in the sand and nominate Kamala in 3 years who's veiled message will be "Vote for the bougie black woman or you're racist and sexist."

Absolutely.

The mainstream media has stockholm syndrome too. They had their big heads and anchors have lunch with Trump about a week or so ago. Right after he called them the enemies of the American people. Then he gave his address to Congress and all the networks kept talking about how presidential he was and all that BULLSHID.

They really have no shame. And its obvious that Trump knows he can play them and the Democratic establishment like a damn fiddle. They don't stand in opposition to him or the GOP on substantive terms. How can they when they're in bed with the same masters?

@SJUGrad13 come peep these indefatigable Trumpistas

 

[Pressure]

Weren't y'all just talking down on negative politics and the need for preaching your platform, but every thread y'all "progressives" post is just complaining about democrats.

If you want to reshape the party the first thing y'all should do is vote.

“People have this idea that Trump has no connection with the ‘common man,’ but he does,” Taibbi said. “He has exactly the same media habits that ordinary people have. He believes the stuff that he reads on the internet and watches on television implicitly and unquestioningly. That is what gives him that connection with people. He thinks like they do. He has the same habits they have. A classic example is the thing with the so-called 3 million illegal … voters. He reads that, probably in an Infowars story, it’s policy like two minutes later. He doesn’t go through the process of asking himself if it’s untrue. He’s a perfect consumer in that respect. That’s what makes him so dangerous.”

There's a third possibilty that they don't want to accept.

Neither democrats nor conservatives want what they want. If they are farther to the left of the main base than Jim the fabricator from KY is right from the main base people are always going to court people like Jim. Especially when they represent a substantial voting base compared to a complaining non voting or volatile base.

Hey. They were warned.

The country just is NOT that left-wing, but their bubble just collapses on itself and they never learn from it.

You're contradicting yourself either because you have no goddamn clue how to strategically ask for anything, or you're limited to analysis, not proposal.

I mean, if you wanna be the Higher Learning version of the Jane's Information Group or STRATFOR, go ahead, but you're a terrible read when it comes to laying out a future of policy or having any insight into getting shyt done.

Its why this all has this sort of nihilistic tinge for you.

You want so much of the democrats, instead of fukking supporting them.

No wonder you won't lift a fukking finger to wave it at Il Cheeto, you're too busy interlacing your digits around his baby carrot
