Fox is thrilled to have new clips of Obama sounding like an educated, rational human being to get their audience riled up again about a black man insinuating that they could be better human beings if they were willing to try.

So much of Trump’s success is his liberation of idiocy.  A significant portion of the population is flat-out dumb.  Not all of them are happy with that.  Many would love to believe that they aren’t actually dumb at all and that they’ve just been lied to by “elites” trying to oppress their not-actually-dumb ideas.  They’re just dying for someone to indulge that fantasy for them.  

Lo and behold, Trump comes along and tells morons that THEY are the elites.  He liberated the idiots, and now they’re not only dumb, but they’re confident.  It’s Dunning Kruger on steroids.  And those fuckers despise nothing more than their previous intellectual superiors and their big fancy smart-kid words.

I haven’t really followed this thread but I’m traveling, flicking through the hotel tv and come across Fox News coverage of Florence...

Fox has two guys with mics in NC doing a live spot. One guy standing next to a pier, with his arm hooked around a lamp post (which The Angle chick comments on) like he’s about to be swept to sea despite the bushes barely ruffling and a light rain falling. The other guy is wearing a monster raincoat.

Next channel is CNN with dudes at Myrtle Beach and N Myrtle Beach in t shirts literally saying ‘right now it doesn’t seem that bad but you know it’s coming’ and Andersen fucking Cooper in Wilmington commenting he feels like a wet dog with a tree swaying in the background. The guy in North MB just said it’s calm, not even raining yet.

Even the damn weather reports are fear mongering with Fox. I get this is just getting started but...hanging onto a lamp post in a 10mph wind vs CNN saying ‘it’s nothing now, get out and be safe as it’s only an illusion as what’s to come’ really illustrated FN to me.

Trumps attitude turned into long term policies would most like make the US better off financially but would cede the world power crown to China.   Similar to the UK over the 1900s.

its actually one of the side effects of placing a business man in charge of the govt.  his natural inclination is to make a buck.

JFC, he’s a conman.  Not a businessman.  Big difference.

Trumps attitude turned into long term policies would be an existential threat to the US and the world.
