Tree... and I'm dead serious about this, and I'll do the work to expound upon the various points... but I want to write out a list of indisputable FACTS... that I can draw upon at social functions to shut some of these dyed in the wool, "hate Trump at any and all cost", MSNBC parrots the f up. I get sick of hearing all this bs.
I mean I have said it here before, Trump is what he is, narcissistic, self centered, a buddy f'r, etc etc. He would fire me before lunch on day one if I worked for him. Or I'd quit. One or the other. But I get so sick of this non-stop bashing. His policies worked, and between him having to battle off a never ending media assault for four years, and then the onslaught of Covid in the last year and all that entailed, I think he did a great job. Is he a jerk? Yes. But did he run the country well? Yes.
All of this racial division, and a dozen other "divisions" ... there is ZERO doubt in my mind it is all fueled by the media. Linear television, social media, the legacy networks... I mean THEY are the ones that are fueling all this and ruining this country. Talk about Nazi-ism... these brain washing tactics have been around forever, and they are straight out of Goebbels's play book.
I just get fed up, and mad at myself actually, because I don't have a bulletized list of facts committed to my brain that I can use to put some of these people in their place, with the confidence of knowing that I am 100% correct.
I have the laptop letter, the Russian collusion, the Afghanistan withdrawal, Trump's "right to try", domestic energy policy, NATO members finally paying more of their fair share... but none of it works. It's ridiculous. I want to be able to silence a room with an oration that would make the best criminal defense attorneys smile and give me a thumbsup... because these people... family too... piss me off. All they know is what they hear on Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, or "The View". And trust me, I'm about a million miles from being some FOX acolyte. (Hannity is annoying and repeats things over and over and over... his take on the Goebbels strategy, Waters is a self-rightous egotistical know it all, Bret Baier is ok, and I respect Ingraham's opinions on some things, Gutfeld is witty af, but his calling is stand up comedy, not the news.)
These people can have their opinions, and they can hate Trump all they want, more power to them, but facts are facts, and I need a list where I can read it and say "case closed".
