shd be noted i guess that trump did promise material and status gains in make america great again but did not deliver

feel like "sensationalism by any means" is more applicable to all related situations/stunts/persona than "cruelty", though I am not disputing the word in any other sense
xps

yeah cruelty is only part of the mix, desantis is a good example of when you just do the cruelty

Oh but ask a supporter and they'll gladly provide a list or tell you what could have happened if it weren't for all that relentless lib opposition, but that goes without saying

fundamental to the Trump cult (and most other fascist regimes) is that Trump tried to provide material gains but was thwarted by the internal enemies/deep state.

yeah idk if it can be overstated how little people actually connect actual government action to the material conditions in their own lives other than services and prices being bad when they need things. like there's probably a shitload of boomers who have no need to move who have no idea mortgage rates are high. probably noticing that car loan rates are high, though

So Chuck Todd finally fucks off as host of Meet the Press, and Kristin Welker, a somewhat respectable for-real journalist, takes over, and her first episode is an interview with this sack of shit? (Which I have not watched, and will not be watching.) I mean, I can't think of a better way to squander whatever good will people might have had for her on Day One. Jesus fuck.

The desire on the part of all these media conglomerates to fuck over the majority of their audience to court the diminishing demographic of Trump lovers, who have been bred to hate "MSM" on-sight regardless of how respectfully they treat that orange piece of shit, is genuinely baffling to me.

Like, for eg, surely the NYT's natural constituency isn't craving hagiographical treatment for Trump? While alienate them to win over an audience that is not win-overable?

so did he really say the whole idea to overturn the election was his in this interview? Is that like...a wise thing to say if you are facing charges for doing exactly this? because it doesn't seem like a very wise thing to say.

I should stop being surprised by shit like MTP pulled at this point. It's clear that every arm of the American media landscape - left, right and purported center - is practically frothing at the mouth to keep Trump in the narrative as long as possible, because clicks and eyeballs.

The basic appeal is to white grievance, which is perpetual, and therefore the strategy is also.
