This reads like a teenage girls blog. These people are so juvenile. How anyone can read the likes of this and say "this is good journalism" is beyond me.

Since this me-me-also-me crew — led by laughables like Rep. MATT GAETZ (R-Fla.), who seems to live in a permanent state of inaccuracy and way too much hair gel — seems to be persistently unable to read the room, allow me.

That fact that this is considered a reliable source of information for the elite justifies every aspect of patriarchy.

Yeah, that sentence really leapt off the page.

How can you call someone else laughable when you're writing stuff like this? If I'd put a statement like this on a paper in... god, in fucking high school I would have been chastised by my teachers. But today, you can publish this at a supposedly reputable outlet?

I didn't think they'd go this hard this fast, but I'm glad I was wrong. They just stole an election in which the "loser" received the most votes in history. If you think that's the right time to spike the football and dance, by all means - fuck around and find out.

Along this same line, the new round of approval polling has come out, and after an absolute balls-to-the-wall propaganda and demoralization blitz, the result was.....Trumps popularity is still locked in the high 40's. It didnt budge. Other polling has also found that a lot of people are just getting angry instead of backing down. I am sure stats like that play no small part in why the establishment is turning DC into a goddamn fortress right now.

But the only method they know is double down, so they will continue to push forward and becoming increasingly paranoid about every shadow going forward.

I mean, it's a nice way to say: I think everyone in this country is a buffoon that needs to be told what his opinions are.

I, for one, am insulted by these technocrats, but there sure are a lot of people that don't even try to think these ideas to their logical conclusion.

On the other hand: Each of these morons thinks the same thing. As in:

Well, I understand that this is misinformation and should be dismissed, but all the other people are idiots and will become Nazis if they see this.

Journalism is the gateway drug for young neo-Marxists.
