There’s a blind side in America when it comes to acknowledging the primary role of racism and white supremacy that drives Trump’s base and the right-wing ecosystem
The only “blind side” that I’ve observed since Trump entered politics is from journalists and media corporations that continuously bend over backwards to give him the benefit of the doubt, while doing literally the opposite for people on the other side of the spectrum like Sanders or AOC.
Same. Even those who vote for him and his like and then disingenuously claim ignorance of racism and bigotry will actually acknowledge it behind closed doors and say it’s “strategic”.
I think it’s telling that Chuck Todd called Sanders supporters “brownshirts” but didn’t say anything close to that about the January 6 insurrectionists.
They pretended to Champion fairness for so long, claimed that they were being unfairly discriminated against and that the media how do liberal bias. The result is that is now the media is too afraid to criticize the right for fearing that the liberal media stick will be used to hit them again.
It was never about ensuring an equal dialogue, it was about coming up with a standard where no matter what the right wing does, whatever the Democrats do has to be as good or as bad, regardless of what it is.
That’s how you get “both sides are the same!” Nonsense

It’s class warfare and the media is entirely on the oligarchy side.
You’re not wrong.
You’re right!

Which is the dumbest shit I’ve heard.

That’s because Republicans played the long con.
