Comments for Trump Supporters: Media and Gerrymandering

1. The unfavorable portrayal of Trump in the media:

President Trump has selective amnesia, and even if his lies are only accidental, and forgotten by him, they are still fodder for news publications looking to cover their bottom line. Search and perhaps you will find that there is media available that will give you what you like by putting President Trump in a positive way. Most media comes from businesses, such that most media sources only sell what can make them the most money. Thus, even if one tries to expose the media as a creator of unfair attacks, then it feeds media profits/popularity. If the media only paints Trump as bad, if you consume it, you feed its popularity, because bad attention can still create profitable infamy, as is the case with the President lately.

2. The consequence of gerrymandering:

What we are observing is a blowback from gerrymandering. The President didn't even come close to winning the popular vote. People are angry, and rightly so. The majority wants representative government, but they did not get their way, such that popular opinion has created a void for media to present the President as an unfavorable man. In addition, because I did not vote for him, I am a part of the angry majority that lost the election.

Why not Bernie?

I like Bernie, but I am not going to vote for him.

Senator Sanders has many great ideas, as well as a few that I strongly disagree with. However, ideas are one thing, and implementation is another.

I expect Bernie would be blocked so many times by Congress that it would cause dangerous demoralization. Thus, Bernie would come across as an impotent executive, resulting in an economy lacking confidence.

Nuclear Weapon Danger

What happens if a USA President elected legally through the system turns renegade? Ever hear of a liar getting elected? Think a liar can’t get elected?

If we don’t believe that our politicians are honest, then I think we should feel some insecurity about them if they wield nuclear weapons. Yeah, I believe we are safe with President Barrack Obama in office, but what is to say the next President won’t be a lunatic? Can we believe what our politicians tell us when they run for office? Let's not have a false sense of security; one day everything may be peaceful, and the next, the game changes when someone sets off one of these nukes for personal reasons.

Nukes are just like guns, and I think the people who are most likely to get hurt by them are their owners. This is a fact: if states own nuclear bombs, then it is highly likely that eventually they will be used. Thus, France’s and Great Britain’s nuclear arsenal are absolutely a threat. Thus, the USA’s nuclear weapons are absolutely a threat. All nuclear weapons are a threat!  They are built to inspire fear to enemies, such that they feel THREATENED into submission.
