Reagan’s FCC overturning the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 is to thank for this. He and Nixon oversaw an incredible amount of societal and governmental sabotage. Quite the legacy.

It’s so much worse now, with these corpo propaganda outlets pretending that both parties are legitimate political parties representing people and not just fundraising/grifting organizations.

Yeah, mainstream media is shitshow atm. ABC news fact checked Trump's BS during that debate and people lost their minds. Why? Because truth doesn't matter? Now CBS refuses to fact check because they are cowards? They are the GD news. Their job is to literally inform the public of the truth.

It really feels like we are literally watching civilization flushing down the drain and there is nothing that can be done about it.

I've said it before. Misinformation exsits in all information. You will be hard pressed to find any common distributor of information to not have any errors. The thought that you can simply be fed only truth with out having to think critically is a fallacy. You can blame the media for existing but you can't make it not exist. It's people, who have principles, ignoring those principles because we've allowed that to be acceptable behavior in the states.

Stop asking, "can you believe trump did this thing." Start asking, "would you do this thing that trump did." Don't waste your time on petty shit. Stick with the obscene shit. "Would you grab a woman by the pussy?" "Would you sexually assault a woman." "Would you call immigrants animals?"

Their only response will be, that's not true, and right there they have nothing to do but refute reality. A shared reality is the most basic principle of having society and them ignoring what we can see with our eyes and hear with our ears is not them having a different set of facts. It's pure fantasy. It's antisocial behavior, and tell them that.

I think for a lot of people, the economy was better during Trump’s presidency than Biden’s.

These people are ignorant to the fact that Trump inherited Obama’s economy and could literally coast for 4 years and the economy would not change.

He left Biden with a shit show post Covid which also included a massive tax cut for corporations and the wealthy which in no way would pay for itself.

They also like his "Christian values"... AKA banning abortion
