Be the change you want, man.
But the world might run out of news if Trump doesn’t win! Else what are they going to cover, all of his upcoming trials? /s
I count myself in it.
It’s not defeatism, I’m suggesting you do things that aren’t in my or the media’s interests. Or at least that what we do is under constraints and it’s difficult to post our way out of it to better serve ourselves, you, or anyone else.
He does not seem to go away when out of office. I don’t worry about a lack of Trump even after he exits.
Hey, I’ve been posting exclusively about things that aren’t trump/maga lately! That’s the problem!
You can pretty much bet the image below on it, buddy.
There’s only one way he’s going away, like. And, if he clings to life as long as Rupert or Mitch the Turtle have, I will be very unhappy.
Still got my fingers crossed; no one lives forever, and that fucker’s clock is ticking.
Damn straight. There’s always hope.
That includes readers, so as a rule we shouldn’t click through on the ‘You won’t believe what trump did articles’.
It is that part of the election season, election reporting should be expected. Not talking about the election isn’t going to help anything. The way that you talk about it will, though.
I mean, it all goes back to Les Moonves’ comment in 2015 about how Trump is bad for the country but great for CBS’ ratings.
Fuckin A.
It’s also highly unlikely that 45 will endure as long a Murdoch or McConnell have; they are not facing all the self inflicted stress of multiple criminal trials and convictions.
Which is an enormous shame
You are an optimist in the belief that death will not just give some MAGA his megaphone and the ability to just say “trump said we should” about anything as a rubber stamp.
Cults usually don’t outlive their leaders.
The GOP propped up Reagan’s corpse for years for their own purposes. They stopped when MAGA nuts forgot what the term ‘conservative’ actually means and decided that Reagan was really a RINO.
