Interesting point.

Beyond the media, imagine if a Democrat gets into office, who will all those people that have a sense of righteous indignation against Trump, at least from their perspective, rally against?

One can almost say the Democrats need the villain.


I think they can just report the "Democrats are doing everything perfectly" message and the right wingers will flock in for all the engagement they can hope for.

if it were 2010 i'd agree, but in 2019 it's not about cable TV watches. you can "watch" 2 channels at once in 2019, just browse Fox and CNN main pages.

the day the metric moved to clicks is the day journalism died for good. They dont make money by attracting a certain audience anymore, because the old money maker of getting someone to repeatedly come back is over. Everyone is going everywhere. Go to Reddit/news, click the top 10 links. you'll end up on 8-9 different news sites most days. we all consume it all. people who used to think of Fox News as "that channel i never stay on more than a second" now read their articles on a weekly basis because some leftist article referenced it or linked it.

read Fox, they reference Huffpost/Vox, and vice versa. its all a spider's web of reporting on reporting. link to a link to a twitter thread where someone did 90% of the digging for no money. I bet you can get a job at CNN-Politics easier with a psych minor to your journalism major than u can with a poli sci.

I'm describing a problem, not advocating for that problem as a solution.

Are you surprised that people radicalize when they're scapegoated or ignored? In Europe, we've seen far right party support decline after their centrist opponents started adopting a stronger stance on immigration. Not radical, but taking the issue seriously and addressing their concerns. That's the correct response, not the Scaly / Clinton method of demonizing your opposition.

As I said, though, you're doing yourself a disservice when you conflate white supremacists with the alt-right. The former is a fringe movement filled with a pitiful collection of rejects pushing an aged agenda, the other is a modern movement that's filling a void in the modern political discourse.


Hmm just as info before Icemage responds:

Europe is steadily moving to the right, center parties adopting far right wing stances is just making parties in general more right wing/anti-immigration. One would say that the pendulum should swing back to the left soon enough. immigration stream is nearly gone (3% left), governments adopted stricter immigration policies and terrorism is going down. For Now, the further/populist right, was still one of the winners of the recent EU elections (the 'center' social democrats lost). You got a point in Denmark locally, where the right has lost its relevancy, but that's not seen across the EU.. We do see splintering of power and parties that need to renew themselves to stay relevant, left, center, right, globalist, non-globalists, Greens, and all the others..

If we'd still move further to the right than we're getting closer to Tankies vid, with fewer reasons to do so, keeping an anti-immigration/diversity stance as a norm. Imo we need a momentum to regain a more inclusive society, less individualistic, with citizens not only wanting to make life better for themselves, but for the entire society. Perhaps the greens can do that, or the socialists, who knows? :) Time will tell.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is officially off the island
Looks like she's leaving on good terms, effective end of the month.
Not that she's actually had a job at the white house in recent memory anyway, but shame to see one of the good ones go
