I agree with 4,5, 9, and 10. The other 6 are you swallowing what Trump and his allies spew out. #3 is up in the air, I suppose it’s a great story if you want to believe that he’s being persecuted like Jesus (which he’s not).
You are ignorant then.
We can split hairs on 7 maybe, but the rest are stone cold facts and if you don't know those facts, then you are, with no other way to say it, ignorant.
There was a fucking Mueller investigation. No collusion. Period. Fact.
Obama did illegally wiretap Carter Page. It's not "up in the air." It's a fact. I mean, if you don't know these facts, that's your fault. Also just more proof that the media is lying to you about these facts.
Besides the point. It took me all of ten seconds to come up with these. So going back to my original point, there are lies upon lies from the media, and there are a hundred different incarnations of every one of these lies from CNN, MSNBC, Vox, every journalism outfit out there.
This is why Trump is "defended."
We all know he lies. But he's not any more of a liar than the rest of them.
You keep questioning why people are embracing him. This is why. This isn't a situation where Trump is lying and the "media" is fact checking and keeping things honest.
It's a situation where Trump is lying about some things, embellishing others, and the media is lying about ten times as many things.
I mean, those were just a quick-list of election related things.
What about the summer of BLM? Nick Sandman? Covid's seriousness? Covid's origins? Joe Rogan and Ivermectin? The vaccine's effectiveness? Kyle Rittenhouse? We could go on and on and on. They lie about EVERYTHING. It's way, way, way, way worse than Trump's lies.
People are siding with Trump because he's the one who is most aggressive and open about calling out the Media's lies. And the media doesn't like it, which is why they nitpick and "fact check," everything he says.
The embrace of Trump is quite simple. The right, and increasingly the center, are fed up with the lies and one-sided bias from the media. The media and the left have had multiple generations in control of print, radio, TV and internet dominance and they have abused their power, and people are done with it. Trump is a creation of the left because their abuse has resulted in a monster. If they were better behaved, no one would have any patience for Trump, but for many you have to fight fire with fire and that's why he's here.
And the frank truth is, he is way less of a threat than a lying, corrupt media and government infrastructure (ie, the FBI is full of corrupt, partisan liars also). He is, essentially, harmless (ie, no, January 6th was not an "insurrection," it was a foolish and misguided and stupid attempt to find a loophole in the law and it was properly handled).
The real threat of harm he poses is exposure of the system's bullshit and that's why they pull out all the stops to silence him.
