Mine, too. But you can lay some blame on the MSM as well. They have done a piss poor job covering Trump's presidency

The headlines have screamed, every single stinking day, about what Trump was doing and saying. You absolutely don’t get to blame “the media“ for not telling when the truth is people didn’t care as long as their portfolios looked good.

I agree with you somewhat. However, I think it has been clear for years that most media outlets have refrained from calling Trump's words and actions what they are (racist, illegal, fascist) because they didn't want to appear biased. My other issue with MSM outlets is that they gave (and still give) airtime to people operating in bad faith to debate the issue of the day. Instead, they need to avoid headline news coverage and report things in terms and perspectives that allow viewers to fully understand how it impacts their lives.

You make valid points; better than blanket condemnation. Thank you.

Calling him racist would not have helped.

Why do you believe that?

Really? What Maddow? How about how the children at the border in detention dropped off the radar. The pardons of his henchmen, no they chased the Trump ball and dropped it over and over and over. The examples are numerous but you have your opinion and I have mine. They are to blame.
