This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what’s actually going on.

Has the weird goulash of overwhelming profit-driven chaos that is the modern news media produced in you a vague emotional sense that things are getting better, or worse, since you’re too exhausted with simply having to survive in our ever-more-hellish reality to have a second to take stock of where we’re at and think back, even if our educational system had equipped you with enough critical-thinking tools to take the question seriously and produce a reasoned response?
Things can always be better, but we are better off now than before, imo at least.
I’d recommend you exit the right-wing media loop - it’s well established that it is designed to provoke fear and disgust responses that’ll burn you out pretty quickly. It’ll also fill your head with the kind of transparent nonsense that would motivate you to vote Trump, but that’s a different issue.
I’m not sure that commenter actually supports Trump or if they were using that as an example answer to the question.
Yeah the way I presented my pretend survey was pretty confusing I think. The three bullet points were meant as the three possible answers, by way of explanation of why the polls about “are you better off etc” look the way they do. I am not a Trump supporter, no.
My mistake.
