The Radical Right have been pushing hate for decades, hate and fear are powerful motivators. Otherwise Trump would never have been elected. It's not really surprising - look at any nationalist or far Right movement. They are all based on fear mongering and vilifying an enemy to create division and conflict. Often with great "success" if you consider the establishment of a oligarchy a success . I suppose it IS a success for those that rise to the top of that oligarchy.

THE US IS NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY AND HAS NO RIGHT DOING WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN FOR MANY YEARS NOW!!

...that is exactly what Trump implied. right?

We are better than any other country because of the Constitution. We are also as dirty as many countries because of a corrupt government. Also something Trump has implied. Of course he's right. again.

I didn't vote for him, however... I'm liking him more and more.

The media. Denzel Washington, even before Trump became President, said it best about the media:

“So what a responsibility you all have — to tell the truth. . . .”

"In our society, now it's just first — who cares, get it out there. We don't care who it hurts. We don't care who we destroy. We don't care if it's true," Washington continued.

"Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice you'll get good at — including BS."

Washington himself was harmed by "fake news." He was attacked and lied about for allegedly supporting Trump, when he didn't. But the media eats its young.
