    Americans haven’t learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.

    American proletariat doesn’t have any direct control over their media. The rich fucks that do are, largely, sympathetic to Trump’s message of a white nationalist state that pillages its neighbors for wealth and prestige.

    This kind of media isn’t due to Big Dumb Americans being too stupid to realize how it helps the Orange Man. It is entirely deliberate, both because it generates a based audience willing to throw money towards conservative causes and because it fuels the Trump campaign by making him look strong and liberals in big cities look weak.
