I'm no great defender of the media. Once they realized they could subsidize their financials with ad revenue, they lost most of their necessary objectivity.
Subtle insult ignored, but Trump says some horsefuck dumb things.
I don't think he says "horsefuck dumb things" any moreso than Clitlary does. Media simply makes a bigger deal out of his. Fallon, Kimmel, SNL all do parodies of the "horsefuck dumb things" while simultaneously trying to make that yammering shrew look intelligent.
No "subtle insult" intended. I had to scratch and claw for what I've gotten out of life. Choices I made helped create that situation. My kids (well, not kids any longer) were protected from that and haven't had to endure the same struggles I did. Their perspective is very different from mine. Both would probably have voted for Bernie if he'd taken Clinton down (and if both were of age).
Everybody's a product of their own experiences. Before I bought the furniture store in the 1990s and got to see first-hand what those living on the government dime actually did with their lives I was fairly liberal when it came to social programs. What I saw there hardened me. Yeah, there are a few deserving people but 90% of the ones I encountered were beating the system in one way or another and deserved no sympathy or handouts. It changed me. Before I had kids, I was a lot more liberal on moral/ethical issues. I'm a product of a different era, one that still holds on to the concepts of God and Country. The flag isn't something to make socks, boxers, towels and sunglasses out of. It's a symbol of the greatness of this country. Etc.
Among the many, many reasons I could never vote for Hillary is the fact that she does not speak to my own personal patriotism in any way whatsoever. She (and Obama) care much more about what the world thinks than I do. We are America, fuck them.
Trump's bluster, his beliigerence, his "fuck you" attitude does resonate with me at a base level. Sure he says dumb things. But my sense is that in his heart he does believe in the American Way. That's more than enough for me when she's the opposite choice.
