8. Scariest moment in the last several years for me right now

Fascists know the media is the key to everything. Trump constantly railing on the media shows he knows it's the key too.

Trump doesn't play by the rules, how much of the media has he corrupted? Is this why every siongle story we read talks about inflation even when the topic isn't inflation? I read a story about school funding the other day that said the increased spending our state passed years ago wasn't enough, probably because of inflation.

I am questioning everything right now. The NY Times and MSNBC were just found out to have plants from the Trump campaign at them and no one batted an eyelash. Did we already lose the country?
