The whole Fake News thing. Fox is practically the only Republican-side voice in mainstream media, with every other major cabal news source hurling endless shit at Trump the entire election cycle and through his current term. Similarly, with some recent shitshows in social media, he might take aim at another major pillar of the public dialogue that appears to be extremely politically biased and using their power to undermine democracy. When you dig into it, nearly all corporately-owned media is owned by two or three companies at the top, with many of the exceptions being alternative media that incorporated to streamline
actual journalism like Philip DeFranco.
While it seems to never get
proven, she, and her husband Bill,
have a lengthy history of scandals, which causes a very heavy amount of suspicion about them actually being corrupt scum themselves, because you get certain innate biases of the human mind pinging it as damn near everyone who works closely with them is caught up in some shady deal or another. Even I genuinely suspect outright corruption, because there's just way too much surrounding them for it to be pure coincidence. And, of course, you have Hillary herself openly saying she wants Wall Street to be writing financial regulation... In spite of the clusterfuck of 2008 being
precisely the result of that. At the
least, she's a corporate shill surrounded in corrupt scum, and this is a
pre-existing track record in politics.
It's actually not hatred
towards progressives that's the issue caused by the Obama presidency, it's that a minority president inflamed them in such a way that the sort currently fucking things up actually started getting mainstream for the first time. If you actually pay attention to the age range of a lot of the activists, they pretty much grew up with a black president being the
norm for them, as far as their political understanding, leading to a group with far fewer reservations about IdPol, leading to all this hate speech nonsense
The thing is that Hillary
has a track record of it. We
knew she was subject to incompetence, such as storing government work emails in her private, insecure, servers and not noticing that about a hundred of them were classified documents (admittedly lacking the header, but she failed to realize they were classified information in the absence of it). Her incompetence is
known and proven to lead to the leaking of classified information, while Trump had
no track record of anything close to that before becoming President. The choice was an unknown in Trump and an established votemongering liar who's been mired in scandals over the course of
decades (probably atypical mostly in how many times she's been caught, all things considered).
...The Rustbelt. Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, name a major manufacturing city and you've got a place fucked, at least in part, by globalism and Democrats. Because globalism means outsourcing, which has fucked manufacturing in the US, leading to a sizable number of people stuck with worse jobs or student loan debts from needing college degrees to get a job. The Democrats responded to the increasingly-fucked job market in these cities by offering welfare, instead of doing anything to try and bring new jobs to the place, like reducing red tape or cutting down on certain tax rates, because welfare gets them the same votes actually fixing the situation would, while being trivial to implement. This welfare then leads to a not-insignificant section of the population refusing to get a job because they don't really
need one, making the economy worse. And the Democrats won't take the PR hit of going anti-union to unfuck what overpowered unions have broken, like the education system in Chicago.
