Back in my day a weird yell was enough to kill your run.
Just a yeeaaoowww and you’re done. Now, if you’re Trump and you are literally strangling someone to the point that they make that sound, you’re presidential material because “that person getting choked was probably a democrat pedophile communist so he deserves it.”
A yell was at least brazen and bold. A later candidate got canned for “Please Clap”
That yell was glorious
The media is also avoiding reporting about all the parts of the rightwing plan.
They are as follow:
1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.
3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.
4-Use the DoJ to target critics
5-Weaken the election security agency
6-Reject climate change
7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government
The media is avoiding it…like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I’m so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn’t news, I want actual news about events.
Like I had to include that many different outlets in order to provide a full picture. FYI, APNews reported about this in late August. The fact that the NYT is telling you about it this week means that something very wrong occurred for two months while they didn’t.
The rightwing having a 1000-page guide to their overthrow of the country is what I would call the most important event of this year on US soil.
Do you want to only be told about the climate change rejection and not the other plans? That’s what’s fucked up.
MSM NEWS: MEDIA NOT COVERING TRUMP BEING NAZI!
I’ve said this elsewhere in another topic, but the News Media has a vested financial interest in a second Trump presidency, because people eventually burn out on the daily mass shooting coverage and various orphan grinding reports.
But trump? people turned in every day to find out what latest buffoonery the incompetent pumpkin faced buffoon did, with no burn out, with no exhaustion. Driving ratings, and viewership numbers.
and they will do everything they can to celebrate his actions in outlandish news coverage, while minimizing the worst parts of it, So everyone will watch the dancing monkey’s dancing, with the ultimate goal being a second Trump presidency and all the delicious attention and ratings that would bring with it.
And yet I’ve somehow heard about it a hundred times in 2 days from the media.
Yeah it’s been pretty well discussed on multiple platforms. Literally every social media platform, plus AP News, etc.
AP is literally quoting a senator about how a Trump presidency would be a disaster, one of the top stories this morning: https://apnews.com/article/west-virginia-joe-manchin-senate-5fa02d965a72526488859bc0866c06dd
Zoomers expect the MSM to make everything an editorial.
I believe every show on MSNBC opened with it. Is that not MS enough?
Some news sources have taken to producing articles that are essentially drawn out virtue signalling tweets. I’m guessing because they are often met with a positive reception on Twitter, as well as a lot of head nodding and smug knowing looks.
It’s moral grandstanding without an ounce of actual conviction and, ultimately, click bait.
Not all the media is giving him a “free pass.” I’ve read several articles about him going full nutjob and totally losing it. Of course a person only has to hear him speak once to know he’s off his rocker - and we’ve had several years of his s#it being shoveled in our direction.
Are these news articles? Or are they opinions or editorials? Big difference.
The media has fully given up on giving pushback to anything when it comes to any powerful person or corporation.
Course it did, they haven’t learned that “Fairness” is a scam when you’ve got a bad faith agent

The argument isn’t that they aren’t covering it, it’s that they covered it and haven’t continued reporting it over and over again.
But it happened 4 days ago, and as I search right now there are articles from the New York Times, USA Today, NBC News, CNN, The Hill, all from the last 24hrs. They ARE still covering it.
And the articles mostly call it out as echoing Nazi language, I don’t see how you could claim that they aren’t covering it negatively enough either.
There is just nothing to this complaint.
The road to Trumps authoritarian America will be paved with lenient judges and federal agencies that don’t enforce laws against him.
It’s not like they can call him out on it. They might get death threats from his nazi followers.
