It's inescapable. It's like the media just can't let go of the freak show. NPR, even BBC has story after story about "trump supporters" complete with their recitation of the usual misinformation and conspiracy nonsense. It's like the trump reality-show presidency nightmare. You can change the station, but it's the same program no matter where you go.

they lose, we have to hear about it so we can "understand and reach out to them".
No one ever suggests that anyone reach out to anyone but white MAGATs.

(851 posts)The media interviewed Trump supporters in states like Michigan and Ohio in order to "understand" them.
Now when Trump loses in 2020, they want to interview Trump supporters so they can "understand" them.
What a joke.
The media continues the marginalization of dems.

(1,654 posts)Considering a lot more people voted for Trump this time than the last time after we were told us that was his ceiling before and it would never get higher, maybe they can come up with some people telling us why people we knew and trusted lied to us and told us they were done with Trump and people who said they weren't enthusiastic about Biden but would probably vote for him, turned around and voted for this destroyer of worlds. If we weren't as motivated to get rid of him and a great coalition of people of color, genX and genZers he could have won. I know it's not as close as it looked 4 days ago, but that it's even this close really burns me. That this many people by their vote can say this man and his whims are more important than democracy, more important than clean air and water, more important than access to decent healthcare, more important than Social Security, more important than the numerous animal species that we are protecting, etc. They just don't care. These people are psychological infected and I'm just so tired of them.
