If it was only here on a political message board I probably wouldn't take exception to it at all. Sadly, we've got well respected "journalists" at high profile organizations pointing out such terrible violence as being flipped off by Trump supporters, or (GASP) having "CNN sucks!" chanted at them by conservatives. . . practically Nazis!Everything's so dramatic with you partisan types, isn't it? Trump has a military parade to celebrate America's independence, won via military campaign, and BAM. That makes him a militarist, despite being more war averse than any other administration in my lifetime.Trumpās idiotic āparadeā illustrates whatās fundamentally wrong with conservatives, who confuse militarism with patriotism ā one having nothing to do with the other.
Trump says mean things to the press, BAM. He's attacking free speech. Hasn't actually made any policy moves in that direction. No matter. He said a thing that I associate with fascism, therefore he's trying to end freedom of the press. Can't help but notice, tho, that when Hillary was campaigning on ending fake news by shutting down Breitbart, you same "anti-fascists" were cheering.
If you haven't figured it out yet, Trump runs off at the mouth a lot. Treating every remark he makes as though it's directly preceding a draconian policy implementation makes me think that you haven't actually registered anything that's happened in the last few years.
Wait a second! Are you trying to say you are finding hyperbole? On a political message board? Say it ain't so!
As a former journo, I believe we've reached critical mass in the outrage department. The industry I formerly revered I now detest. As a result of the complete destruction of objectivity in our media, society has killed off politeness for good, I fear.
