How Fox news is the number one rated news in the country.

Trump loves them stupid. Idiocracy is alive and well in America.

Pro Trumpers, love to claim how Fox news is the number 1 rated news show in the country (never mind it's not allowed to play in other countries, has been shown to not actually be news, Donald Trump has a direct line to sevaral hosts so he can figure out just what hot button topic to tackle next)

Idiocracy, have you seen the movie or know what is is?

Clear as mud now?

Of free airtime did they give to the criminal in chief? It all makes for great TV, but itll tear a country apart.

Now, I will say that there were some that have been screaming against him from the beginning. I'd say the lion share come from here. Trump loves stupid people, I dont think I'm stupid, and not the majority of posters here are either.

But this country has a thing for reality tv, and what's more real than a president with his own show, every stinking day. Hence my idiocracy comment.

Sure, there were are a ton of other factors. In my opinion, the rise of social media, an underlying racism problem that he hitched his wagon to. But he got here through the media and the idiot's who helped him and tuned in.

I have no problem self identifying my faults. I'll be the first to say that I couldnt wait to hear what new shit he had to say that's gonna be covered by SNL, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert and others.

That doesnt mean I'm gonna mope and sit in the corner. I'm sure as shit voting, not a lot of physical stuff that I can do. But I can share my opinion, bring others to vote.

I'm also not going to forget how we got here.

audience is often retired and has the disposable time to devote to their vile programming.
