No. That is the fault of mass media corporations (and now, also thinly-veiled "grassroots" organizations). It's quite simple to pick and choose quotes from individuals that can be construed as offensive ("superpredators", anyone? The list goes on), craft a narrative, and put them on the national stage. This is what these organizations do, at the expense of other issues. You will not find a more powerful, more influential reason for the division this country is experiencing. It is these organizations and those who profit from them the most that are most responsible.
- makewavesnotwar 9y agoNo. Trump is creating and repeating his own rhetoric. The mass media corporations aren't making him tweet constantly about the "Dems". Your statements about the media aren't wrong but that doesn't mean that Trump isn't also to blame. He's literally picking fights at every opportunity he gets.
