They would warn the people that their freedoms and their way of life is in danger.
There is no "both sides" to the story.
We have a leader that is unstable and dangerous and lies about everything. He wants to be a dictator.
He is driving our economy into a very deep hole. He has turned all our allies against us.
There is nothing normal that you are seeing.
The future of you and your children are at risk.
He wants to start a war. Unless he is stopped, it is very possible that he would use nuclear weapons. He is a madman. He is a malevolent narcissist. He only cares for himself and how much money he can accumulate.
He is robbing us blind with his secret deals and his thievery.
He cares nothing about our laws or our Constitution. The Justice system cannot keep up with his law-breaking.
He has a propaganda system that is intent on destroying our nation. They are mouthpieces for the White House.
If you think it is bad now, it can get a lot worse.
Unless the media is warning you of the danger, then they are lying to you.

(7,001 posts)important to point out in religious terms what and who he is, as a shorthand for those for whom these words resonate most. Traitor isn't going to resonate as loud to them as AntiChrist, IMO.
I'm not Xtian in any way, shape, or form. But I do remember reading about "many antichrists" while perusing Nostradamus way back when. And I think that's what we're seeing... although, that idea is too general for those Xtian Nationalists.

There is no way in hell that he would have made it a week into his first term if not for them all being in lockstep with him.......

(926 posts)TRULY brought us to this point. Trump is just the front man, no different than Reagan and WBush, while the UBER Rich, Corporations, and the Republican Senators and Republican House members along with Stephen Miller, the 2025 Crowd, etc work in the shadows.......
Also with the constant endless efforts of the Republican, Uber Wealthy, Massively Owned/Operated, MASS MEDIA
Hillary said it best in a 2016 debate: "There is a giant Right Wing Conspiracy"......and every one, including many Dems, laughed at her......
Every single day, a new list of shit is thrown out at the U.S. by Trump.....he is being fed all that propoganda and rhetoric on a daily basis by groups organized behind the smoke and mirrors......

(114,890 posts)The media can't say that. They would lose their viewers and readers. So they pretend that this is all some form of "normal". They take a poll to prove their point. If 40% still support the madman, how can they report something so dreadful as the truth?
