Lol in our "turn down the temperature" environment, on Kimmel's first show back, the governor of California comes on and says it's a code red and he believes in the core of his soul that we may not even have elections in 2028 because of Donald Trump. Yea, that won't inspire some nutjob whatsoever. Ice cold temp.

Then maybe Trump shouldn't literally say he's thinking about trying to run in 2028, sell "Trump 2028" hats on his website, publicly pontificate about how Vance can run and then insert Trump back in via loophole, etc, etc.

Is Trump almost assuredly just trolling? Of course.

But that's the problem too.

He says **** like that constantly and then all you guys do is laugh at/put the onus on the left, saying they shouldn't take him seriously. Then you get all incredulous when they *do* take him at his word, while claiming they're the ones who need to turn down the rhetoric?

Give me a break.

How about not egging Trump on in the first place? How about not endorsing that consistent level of "trolling" by the President of the United States? Should Newsom be taking the bait? No. But Trump shouldn't be baiting anyone in that regard either.

You ignore a troll. That's how you get them to stop.

There is literally ZERO chance we don't have elections in 2028. None.

One of my profs back in around 2006, a tenured and well-respected guy in his field, told several of us that he believed George W would orchestrate a military coup to stay in power permanently. They've always been like this.

Will one of you once - just one, single time - respond to the actual words in my post, as opposed to something I didn't say?

Of course we're going to have elections in 2028.

Rather, clearly, my contention was with the double standard of getting annoyed at the left for having the audacity to *checks notes* listen to the words coming out of the mouth of the President of the United States. I mean, you have to know how stupid it sounds when you essentially say things like, "Lol why are you taking the President of the United States seriously?"

Sure, ten years into this mind-numbing experiment most people should know better. But at the same time, finger-wagging the reactionary side while not just excusing, but cheering on the Troller-in-Chief, is straight up hypocrisy/gas lighting. But hey, as long as he hates who you hate, it's all good, right?

Sure, ten years into this mind-numbing experiment most people should know better.

TDS. Wake me up when you're this passionate about the Russia hoax, USAID fraud, auto-pen, Jan 6, and all the rest that actually impact this nation, instead of just words from a man that likes to troll. Nobody GAF about your rant after all the crap the left has pulled the last 5 years. Done caring about the lefts feelings because they have never cared about anyone else's.

"The left." Something else some of you might want to try is not constantly generalizing/vilifying 50% of the country every chance you get. Most of my complaints are with specific people/opinions on this board, not "the right" writ large. Yet in response you guys can't help but always turn it into this insane thing where you think a hundred million people+ are all evil, all hate you, are just as to blame for Kirk's assassination as the killer himself, etc. It's so endlessly stupid and just as divisive as you whine about everyone else being.

Sorry, I really don't care. Every media power in this country doesn't like me, and they helping influence murdering people like me.

Perhaps do something about that instead of *****jng about trump.

Good Lord, the pearl clutching and persecution complex with some of you.

Also, yeah…

Fox News
Newsmax
The Wall Street Journal
The New York Post
The Daily Wire
Outkick
Tucker Carlson
Megyn Kelly
Ben Shapiro
Joe Rogan
etc, etc, etc
Along with the hundreds of thousands of churches streaming all over the country

… most of whom are starting to draw bigger audiences now than ABC, NBC, CNN, etc - you're right, they all hate you. It must be so hard to be so despised and neglected.

You're right. No one is being persecuted. Only murdered.

ROFL... this is one of the most bad-faith argument posts I've seen from his hack.

He literally listed enough small companies and podcasts I could count on two hands. But let's ignore THE ENTIRETY OF HOLLYWOOD and the entire entertainment industry across music, film, and television. How about the other 95% of the media you didn't list? How about EVERY SINGLE broadcast network in the US? How about basically every single university? How about over 80% of the bureaucracy in every single US government institution?

Conservatives around the country are being terrorized and intimidated across college campuses. We are barely over 2 weeks past the assassination of one of the biggest leaders of a conservative and Christian movement this country has ever seen, and you and your fellows on the left think the best way to handle this is to double down.

I'm just over all the talking points from the left. Every argument is a justification for why we are fascists and Nazis, and then they use that label as justification to kill us.

Not to mention every single hause-frau morning show like The View, all the morning "news" shows like Today, every late night network talk show, and SNL bashing occurs on a weekly basis, etc. etc.

The totality of NBC+ABC+CBS+Fox+CNN+MSNBC morning shows, national news shows, local news shows, and talk shows dwarfs that list which is basically Fox News and a few podcasts (because they were shunned from mainstream media).

Not to mention Wall Street Journal is nowhere near right leaning anyway it's centrist at best and more financial and economy related but also paywalled.

The New York Post is a tabloid rag really and nobody gets their news form it.

It's about 90% - 10% in total content aired or publicized in some way.

I know several people that view NPR as being "right in the middle", which could not be more untrue if you listen to their reporting and commentary.

---

They live in bubbles - physically and media wise - and they don't seek out any other info then what they are spoon fed. Since all of their friends say the same things and all of the media they consume does too.

This is how they arrive at the incredulous interpretation that 90% of the country is against Trump and cannot fathom how he got elected. They also dismiss everything that is counter to that narrative as right wing nutjobs and reflective of the uneducated masses.

And with that I'm gonna go watch football and abandon this dumpster fire of a thread, hope others do the same.

You won't.

No. What's hilarious is when left-minded people reply to a statement like Zombie's as you did.

You do realize that, as a conservative, it is literally impossible to exist in a bubble? It's why conservatives know liberal talking points so much better than liberals know conservative talking points. It's why over 50% of liberals, TO THIS DAY, believe that the scum who killed Charlie is a MAGA republican.

It's why all the lies about Charlie saying 'black women are too stupid to fly planes' or that 'gays should be stoned to death' are still believed by the majority of liberals, though spending 4 minutes of your life to watch both clips will prove to any rational human being that they were wrong.

The fact you would even post such an idiotic and ignorant statement is proof of your ideology. You actually believe this because the 90% OF MEDIA THAT EXISTS is your echo chamber, and they tell you it's so.

On our end, we have to literally take great efforts to find journalists or commentators who aren't leftist wackos. And many of those are in this new form of media because they were pushed out of legacy media for their views. Hell, if it weren't for Elon buying Twitter, then I would argue conservatives would literally have no way to be a part of the greater conversation. We would have been pushed into a corner by the left and smothered until we could no longer have any voice.

Also, many of the examples given are social media personalities and podcasters. YouTube literally just admitted to censoring right-wing voices on YouTube. Something we have been screaming about for years while people like you, on the left, would laugh at us and tell us we were just making things up. They would accuse us of living in our own little bubbles. Who told people like you these lies? The freaking overwhelming institutional power the left holds in this country.

Maybe you should at least listen a little to Nick Fuentes or Alex Jones to understand why a non-government owned corporation would ban them.

They aren't silencing right-wingers in this case... they are not allowing complete nut jobs to spread their nut-job messaging. If you are conservative, like I am, then you should be very much against those two nut-jobs.

This is the thread that never ends
Yes, it goes on and on my friends
People started arguing not knowing what they're saying
Because it's just infinite jackasses infinitely braying

No where did I say that the distribution was even.

Of course left-leaning media still outweighs right-leaning media.

However, his pearl-clutching statement was literally that "every media power in this country doesn't like me" and I was simply pointing out that that is not even remotely true, in an effort to highlight his woe-is-me persecution complex.

But sure, rage on with your scarecrow argument in repose to a point I wasn't making.
