    i don’t even know what the desired effect is

    There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every other article is about that moron. Americans haven’t learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.

    People might claim that I’m wrong about that. But if I were wrong, there would be some sign of people starting to work together, no matter the party…

      American proletariat doesn’t have any direct control over their media. The rich fucks that do are, largely, sympathetic to Trump’s message of a white nationalist state that pillages its neighbors for wealth and prestige.

      This kind of media isn’t due to Big Dumb Americans being too stupid to realize how it helps the Orange Man. It is entirely deliberate, both because it generates a based audience willing to throw money towards conservative causes and because it fuels the Trump campaign by making him look strong and liberals in big cities look weak.

        How many hundred million people live over there? Once your country belonged to the British.

        People need to agree to hold people accountable, and not “pick a side”.

          Careful, that is awful close to acknowledging that their sides guys aren’t perfect.
