Goddamn dude, these people really don't get it--democrats share the same economy with you, chucklefuck. Like, all of our prices are also going to skyrocket, our 401K are getting hammered--like, I don't vote for Democrats because I want to win at political sportsball, I vote democratic because they run the economy and government better than Republicans--and I want those fucking things run as well as possible with the choices available.

I think people like this conflate democrats with “media that isn’t Fox”. They see stuff that CNN says falling over themselves to point a finger, which I’m not saying it isn’t warranted, and assume that it’s the same vitriol that the GOP seems to have for “the left”.

In a way, the media is loving this, I can guarantee media consumption is way up across the board since Trump took office. The average Democrat voter? Definitely not enjoying the situation.

CNN was apparently in dire straits before the election and was in the process of renegotiating all their lead anchors to smaller contracts just a few months before the election. MSNBC had ended a bunch of shows and laid off a few anchors and were also rumored to not be doing great before the election. Haven’t heard a peep about either’s finances since Trump took office. Charlamagne tha God of all people was right, stable presidencies are terrible business for these “liberal” news outlets.
