There are a lot of racists in this country. They never went away, really... They just got shamed into (mostly) silence. Trump makes them feel brave again, because he's just like them.
He has said the sickest shit I've ever heard from a presidential candidate, yet, the reporting is easy beyond belief with Trump and media tries to reframe any Harris positive with passive language until it sounds like a problem.
They (media) are probably afraid that if Harris is elected, the news will become mundane and boring, unlike Trump, and their readership (and thus revenue) will drop.
The media has been beat up for decades as too liberal. Now, simply reporting the truth will make the accusations of bias stick even harder in conservative minds.
They will make those accusation no matter what and they will stick just the same regardless. In fact, giving conservative politicians an easier go just makes it more likely for regular people to get caught up in the bullshit. Media that uses kid gloves for extreme right politicians actually does it because they are also on the right.
Because a lot of people don't care until it impacts them, because they're a special rainbow and everyone else is the problem or not relevant in their eyes.
people give trump such a big platform his outreach is incomparable.
American politics are just sports for some people and "my team" will win no matter what because the other team "the libs" will lose! I gain satisfaction from people "losing"
