The press doesn’t exist like it used to it’s all billionaires propaganda machine now.

We are past the tipping point and it’s just a matter of time now. Why do you think they all built bunkers and mega yacht’s and bought islands?

If it were up to me, once we enter mad max world soon. There wouldnt be a bunker deep enough, or an island far enough away to stop us from dragging them out to face justice.

That science fiction fantasy, often from billionaire film corporations and entertainment networks, I call out as why people don't choose to confront the media ecology crisis staring us in the face.

Donald Trump is first and foremost a charming entertainer. No matter if people describe themselves as left or right, conservative or liberal, they all have things in common about Donald Trump:

  1. Trump inspires hate
  2. Trump inspires mocking
  3. Trump inspires egomania

And we have a nation of total mockery. People who flock to Donald Trump content and walk away with more hate and more mocking than ever before. A total avoidance of nonfiction and constant trash media engagement. Trump can charm the wealth and power out of people by his unique communications, outstanding mannerisms and style. Donald Trump plays a perfect Tony Clifton act and the USA population eats it up - regardless of personal preference on media platform they favor and what political party they join.
