Saw stories last week that the ratings are down for cable since the election.
I know that I haven’t watched since Monday before election night. Haven’t gone back.
Why?
Because they are a large part of why we are here right now.
Their professional malpractice during the first Trump Administration.
Their continued gaslighting of us as they attempted to normalize Trump.
The way they hid important news points that they kept to themselves …to put in their BOOKS.😠
Their insistence on BOTH SIDERISM for everything.
Or, if it was blatant on the Republican side…the refusal to cover the topic at all.
Their outright contempt for the competency of the Biden/Harris Administration.
How they fully helped to run President Biden out of the race.
Their continued professional malpractice in covering the race between the Vice President and Trump.
And, we get this bullshyt JUST TODAY!
😒😒😒😡😡

Joe and Mika went to Mar a Lago to talk with Trump over the weekend. First face-to-face meeting in seven years. “We didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues and we told him so,” @JoeNBC says. “What we did agree on – was to restart communications,” @morningmika says. https://t.co/lyWZWK4CwX

Morning Joe bowing to Trump, & the rest doing finger-pointing & both sides coverage, isn’t going to bring audience back.

Instead of “why aren’t we helping the white working class” -because it’s VERY CLEAR every other working class approved/approves of Dem messaging-
Why aren’t we asking why the WHITE working class feels the need to have MORE messaging, MORE things than the Minorities who are in

My observation is just this:
The re-election of Donald Trump in 2024 will be on the short list of presidencies with grave consequences instead of electing the opponent and charting a new and brighter path for all Americans.
Examples of this are:
George McGovern’s loss to Richard Nixon in 1972.
Al Gore’s loss to George Bush in 2000, still the most consequential loss of the century. Imagine strong environmental policies, no Afghanistan or Iraq Wars.
Historians will shake their heads, wonder why voters just kept squandering every chance they got for a better life.

So, looks like Trump is really going through with:
1. Massive tariffs.
2. Mass deportations using the military.
3. Ending birthright citizenship.
4. Cutting Medicaid to fund massive tax cuts.
This is what political suicide looks like.
