Funny, I'd think the lesson is that near-total mainstream propaganda actually generates pushback. See also: Britain, Germany (where press in universally suppresses and labels any opposition as "neofascist").
Also consider the possibility that many people voted not for Trump, but against Clinton and her fake issues (like the discredited wage gap myth).
- erikpukinskis 10y agoThe wage gap hasn't been discredited. Science shows it is there. Much of the variance is unexplained. And some of the "explanations" of variance that has been accounted for are themselves sexist. If job titles women tend to have get paid less than job titles men tend to have, that means we value women's work less than men's. Your assumption is that work must be worth objectively less, but the only proof we have for that is "the market said so" which I find unconvincing.
