On the topic of Donald Trump's semi-recent press rant, while watching part of it I was interested to see him go on an extended sojourn on the topic of how bad a nuclear holocaust would be. It gave the impression that someone had just explained it to him, and he was now repeating to America with incredulity. Like as if he was saying "Did you guys know that nuclear holocaust would be so bad? Cause it's really bad. Like no other. I mean really, incredibly bad."
So now I'm going to make the argument - and hear me out, please - that this is not necessarily Ameripol material.
Exactly, which is why I asked how it has to do with politics. Plus the gender thread seems like a better place for it. Or a Feminism thread if anybody is brave enough to make and moderate one.
Point of order: My post was before yours, so
HA! Low energy! Sad!
Hey it's notable that one of Trump's aids refered to conservative media as "The echo chamber" specifically, referring to how you plant a pro-right story and it bounces around to all the outlets. He let the cat out of the bag, btw, "echo chamber" wasn't originally a compliment.
Former campaign officials used outlets such as Breitbart News, the Washington Examiner, Fox News, Infowars and The Daily Caller in an effort to show Trump positive news coverage.
The President gets his information from Infowars! Leave while you still can.
Here's a very important point: Infowars says all sorts of insane shit, like clockwork elves and Obama smelling of Brimstone in addition to the more classical "BUSH DID 9/11" type stuff. Thing is, Donald J. Trump now has absolute access to
everything. If any of that were true, he could find out. Instead he isn't taking the security briefings, and is taking the same news that his base gets. But if he is in communication with these people who are arguing all these things, one of two things must be true: either all those things are right (and let's be clear: they probably aren't), or they aren't. What does it mean that they aren't true, though? These people aren't marginal anymore. They
are the state. But they are still peddling these theories, and notably, they aren't peddling them from the "We are getting our information from inside the US government", but as if they were secret, uncheckable conspiracies! So what's the necessary conclusion?
Alex Jones is part of a conspiracy. Alex Jones, Infowars, all those people are now part of a conspiracy to lie to the American people. If they say X, and they have significant access to a man who can know anything, and X is not true, they are part of a conspiracy. When you are outside the government, you know, you can make these claims and say "I would prove them, but the government hides the evidence." But Donald Trump won't hide the evidence! At
best they are guilty of "forgetting" to ask their world leader buddy, "hey you know 9/11? Could you go check that out for me before I keep ranting about it? And look up the government files on Obama's connections to Hell too."
