It is my belief that even for people who are lukewarm about Trump or even oppose him mildly, that the chorus of cat calls from the media is getting so shrill, and so over the top so as to become self-defeating. That’s okay. I’ll take it
Bingo!
The more the kooks shriek, cackle, act up, float stupid balloons, riot, fake beheadings, and protest, the more people love him for standing up to the sheer idiocy. We’ve never had a president who has done that before. It is SO refreshing to have a POTUS not of the political / ruling class. Even though he is a gazillionaire, he is one of US.
The more they are shrill, the more they think everyone thinks like them. They become embolden to take up positions very outside the mainstream, like no ICE, benefits for illegals far above anything the rest of us can get, no borders, etc.
And most people I would wager believe we spend too much overseas on things like NATO, and yet the Dems seem to be advocating continue to spend more on NATO.
Every time the media gets more hysterical, a new “walkaway” wave of people who just can’t swallow the BS anymore is generated.
And once they do, there’s no going back. The freedom of thinking for oneself is just too liberating to give it up and willingly return to the media narrative cage.
And there Trump, the avatar of anti-narrative, awaits to welcome them.
The “defy gravity” phenomenon is a result of this permanent movement of people. These people are forever lost to the media narrative writers.
In many ways the Trump approval rate is also the “woke” rate.
Oh I think its been self defeating for a while. I know several people who were lukewarm or fence sitters who voted for Gary Johnson or sat out the election who are now in Trump’s camp. The big factors are him getting the economy moving and as a giant middle finger to the media which is over they top hysterical about everything he does.
