I don't want to engage this early as I just woke up; I think a lot of poeple arguing your type of way are paid agents to help corrode western democracy
But
Your side seems to omit the fact that the democrats were fighting a systematic takeover of the media to brainwash as many not-as-politically-engaged people as possible. A take over the likes of the US have never seen before and it's culmination happening with Trump. A campaign to fully take over the US which worked wonders for them.
The tan suit and spicy mustard debacle actually riled people up because certain media was running it constantly. Media that was brainwashing millions to hate democrats for every and any little things. Media that planted the idea that thinking like a democrat was any harsh word you didnt want to be associated with.
So although the lesser of two evils plan was still in effect, the (wayyy) lesser evil wasn't literally the hate mongering messiah put in place by a decades long plan to overtake the media at its literal peak of execution
Best point in the thread
Is this your first encounter with politics or something? There's no way you actually think this is the first time America of all places has used the media to radicalise its populace.
Is this your first time reading? Theres no way you read one sentence that didn't sit right with you and jump to conclusions
Yeah yeah, Trump is special an unique and the world has never seen anything like him before, except like... Nearly every single previous US president. So once again - are you new to American politics, or is your head stuffed so far up your arse you genuinely think any part of this is new or different?
So I'm convinced people like you are out here to waste people's time and energy on comment wars instead of putting that time into doing something actually productive so I'm just going to cut if off here and go help people IRL
You're a loser. Talk to you never!
It would have been much faster to just say your head is stuck up your arse.
