Politics is not going to move toward less vitriol until the primary source of that vitriol exits the stage... Unfortunately he was just elected to a new four year term.
- tekkk 2y agoThat's true... It's hard to make sense of it. But I suppose you can try to just skip that part, not get triggered by it, and just focus on practical issues and explanations why things are such. Inflation is high because of Covid aid et cetera. I though personally believe this was mostly just Covid & immigration fallout and not really tied to Trump per se. Could have been almost anybody with those talking points with a sprinkle of charisma and they would have won. Assassination attempt helped probably as well.
- sanderjd 2y agoYep! You and I don't disagree. I think Trump has been extremely lucky, first in running against Clinton with a late assist from Comey, and now running against the pandemic recovery. But those lucky breaks have also made his vitriol a big part of our politics, which is a shame.
- xnx 2y ago> until the primary source of that vitriol exits the stage Rupert Murdoch?
- sanderjd 2y agoHa, I agree that used to be true.
