18hrs of news, 6hrs of sleep. SAD!
3 hours of Rush Limbaugh though...
You gain a better perspective by actually reading on the political history of this country. Read the speeches, the documents, the bills, their intents and their effects (short term and long term), that kind of stuff. 18 hours of second hand info with commentary heavily loaded with the bias of the radio/TV personalities is why people think they are informed when they are only parroting talking points they haven't analyzed themselves. Hell, the level of information outside the US is much higher in my experience, and those people don't watch/listen to more than the evening news and a couple of debates during the week.
Donald Trump has no historical counterpart.
if u listen to all sides of da spectrum, Donald Trump's win wouldn't of been a surprise.
What?
A rich man reaches the top of the political apparatus, appoints all his donor friends, writes laws that benefit him and his friends, and thinks democratic values are optional. Do you know how often that happens in politics? Just read about the former Soviet republics and former African colonies.
we're talking bout da United States of America b.
