    People - most especially the corporate media - had better start waking the fuck up and stop presenting the election of 2024 as if it’s a normal one. There is much more on the line than a GD horse race here.

    This asshole means to do real damage to this country if he manages to slime his way into office again.

      Corporate media like corporate everything else, is just fine with fascism as long as they can continue to extract rent from the peasants.

        I doubt they’ll be immune to Trump’s rampage if he gets back into office. He’ll be out for the blood of anyone who ever reported on him in a negative way. CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, etc will likely have their offices raided due to criminal prosecutions. The crime? Criminal defamation of Lord Trump.

        But in true “First they came for” fashion, they’ll keep acting as though this is all normal until they get rounded up. Then, they’ll expect the rest of us to stand up for them. Sadly, by that point, we’ll likely be in camps/prisons ourselves.

          Yes, they will be one of the first at risk. People like baby hands and his cult don’t and won’t care that they are actually very corporate/conservative outlets; they were told they are “liberal”.

      Corporate media won’t profit from that though. They stand to gain a lot more by letting horrible things happen then fear mongering us into more views.

      Genocide is temporary. Corporations are forever.

      But seriously, everyone should be getting louder. Don’t wait for someone else to expose hateful rhetoric
