Feels like the media softened this story.

What the fuck. This is the shit nobody knows about. Istg trumpies either wearing blindfolds or somehow miss all his shady bs
He's hurting the "right" people.
Apparently that's what quite a few people want, while not realising they are those same people.
With a two party system (even a de-facto system like in the us) people will just lock into one side and ignore everything bad about their side while ignoring everything good about the other.
It makes the political system get treated like a sports game.
There is no alternative for compromises, since the no other party will ever get power, this turnes everything black and white, you don't need to think you just need to pick one side once and keep going.
Then it even easier to pick the racist side since the "non racist" side will make your world more complicated and annoying, with the racist side you know exactly who the enemy is, with the other side you need to think and even realize that sometimes you yourself is the enemy. That requires introspection, and the willingness to accept that the world is grey.
TL;DR: It is a combination of racism, unable to do introspection and wanting easy answers.
Algorithmic content delivery and biased news outlets mean they live in a very different world.
