(3,251 posts)I wish people would get it around here who and what was ultimately culpable. It was the media and one man in particular for bottom line reasons. Trump was not a serious candidate, and you all seem to believe he was, but only became viable thanks to Zucker's non-stop promotion.
Millions of morons, conditioned by hate radio and Fox, fell sucker for this joke of a candidate who resorted to lies, empty promises, and demagoguery because he had no policy proposals.
These aggrieved white dudes who the Sanders/Moore types shed tears over and whose asses they think we should kiss, keep voting the wrong way time after time after time, decade after decade. They are too late to the party about trade, which is just laughable that they would care at all.
They are beyond help. They are so stupid they don't even realize how privileged they are. Fuck 'em.
