People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Possibly the most frustrating and confusing thing about trump is how he always gets away with obviously illegal actions because he does them so obviously. It's like a cop not stopping a bank robber because the robber isn't wearing a mask.
Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history.

They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Donald Trump is furious that the media repeatedly makes his administration look bad by pointing cameras at them while they say and do stuff.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Kinda striking how often the current administration's justification for their actions is literally just "I want to do this and I won the election, therefore I can do this." The whole point of a functioning US system of govt is to PREVENT all-powerful monarchs, not to just choose them via elections.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

“You can call me Mr. Chairman if you want.”
