He’s coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You’ll be safe if you’re a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he’s coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.
Before you share this with your trump-loving family like I almost did, he didn’t promote it, he ‘retweeted’ someone who linked the article saying among other things: “The American people want the economy Trump created…” Shitty journalism and click-bait headlines like this is why republicans look down on us and why people start wondering if they’re on the right side.
You’re not paying attention if you think bad media headlines are why they look down on “us”. Don’t get me wrong, i think these things should be criticized and we should expect better but “our” media headlines aren’t why they don’t like us. Its their media headlines that are telling them how to feel about us.
Well I should say less the headlines and more the number of people spreading this and/or believing it. Look at this thread—there are like no top comments that reflect on the inaccuracy of the headline. no one read the article or clicked the link, it seems worse than Reddit here. It’s embarrassing and disappointing. It makes it easy for the right to say, ‘see how gullible the left is & how easily they’re swayed by media?’ Anyway I’m not trying to start a flame war, I think I’m just starting to feel more stress about the upcoming election.
It’s wierd to put more weight on the left or liberals for this then the conservative media appartus that defended and backed trumps play to steal the election by any means necessary.
“Shitty journalism and click-bait headlines” is why my internet consumption has dropped significantly over the past few years. It’s also why I’ll rarely comment on anything before I read the entire article (unless I’m commenting on a comment). Sites like Newsweek (off the top of my head) are full of misinformation and contain only a sentence or two of information relevant to the actual news story. The rest is in support of the writer’s perspective and opinion which is often coming out of left field.
It feels like most of today’s generated content is just about a headline and the shares and comments that that headline can generate. Granted, I could just be handing out in the wrong parts of the internet and have built my own inverse feedback loop.
