Many people both rich and poor have this mentality that they are special snowflakes . Rich elite entitlement is as bad as those that think they are special because they can pop out children and have the taxpayers pay for it. This mentality has degraded this country.
Lol. The Trump family is the most entitled family in the US, and Trump is the most delicate snowflake. He can't handle anything. It would be like an alcoholic managing AA meetings.

Insults are all you have . You'll only say people have "depth and analysis " once they agree with you .

He handled Clinton perfectly as he won the election. And the Trumps are extremely successful ... how is making your own way "entitled" ?

Perhaps your problem is you care too much.
I care in so far as I see the mainstream press act like an echo chamber and to become the PR arm of a single party. But luckily I guess the vast majority don't care because they don't consider the mainstream press or SNL as culturally relevant, so I guess that's a good thing.

Perfect!
So you're solution to the already marginalized country thanks to Trump is to further marginalize and outright demonize political opponents?

Liberals don't want to watch right wingers. They will turn the show off, so it would become a right winger show anyway. Liberals cannot be forced to watch State TV. They create their own markets and they buy from their own markets. Right wingers don't have to like it, they can create their own.

Including a conservative voice, even if it's a lone voice would alienate liberals? Even Fox News has liberals on. And how is it State TV to have voices that are critical of the current administration? I don't follow your logic but then again I just think you lack it to begin with.

There's a lot of that going on right now, but Trump is the result, not the cause.

So in addition to bringing popular culture to heel, we need to crack down on the media.

Trump started his campaign with the assertion that the media is biased and doesn't care about the views of a huge chunk of the country. He just swatted the hornets nest. He brought up issues many Americans, whether you agree with them or not, were trying to get vocalized such as globalization/free trade, which was both an establishment Republican and Democrat, issue.


Towards the end of the election the gloves came off after Trump couldn't be shamed away with any amount of name calling, snarky hipster shaming humor and virtue signaling. Now the media has been exposed for being incredibly in the tent for Hillary and the Dems.

Stick to the topic. Now let's see, what is the definition of entitled? "Believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment." Trump, regardless of his successes, is an eternal victim. So how is someone with this mentality going to change the 'entitled' attitude of the country?

Again, it's like having an alcoholic managing AA meetings.

This is all a sick joke, it has to be.
