you seem like a decent person,and I wish I could help with all the fear-mongering that is vomited on the American people.corporate media is the enemy of the American people.
our political class,both republican and democrat,speak in the "feel your pain",or "make America great" rhetoric,and then turn around and continue to abuse and plunder all the things that actually make America great.
they are not your "friends or buddies",they actively seek to enlarge their power base to the detriment of our "liberties,treasure and civil rights".
speaking only for myself.
I do not conflate someone who identifies as a republican or democrat with the political party,because the policies that both parties enact rarely benefit us as a society.they are wholly different.
if I could offer some unsolicited advice?
change the channel.
corporate media peddles in:fear fear fear,and more fear.
there are some amazing journalists out there,doing fantastic work,but you will rarely (if ever) see them on cable news.sadly,it is up to us to inform ourselves,because the failure of the fourth estate has been an utter and absolute failure.
and we can only do that if we talk with one another,and not buy into prejudiced labels.
