Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not “ignore everything Trump.” He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He’s also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, “actions speak louder than words.” Donald Trump’s political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
I’m glad someone else realized this too.
I realized something, ever since 2016 we have been trained by the media to constantly be outrage over words that may never become actions.
So now I only care if an action is made. All this “news” about trolls trolling the world is just a big nothing burger that you don’t need to know unless you actually work in politics.
I would go as far as to say it should become a rule on some news subs that a controversial figure saying something controversial is not news.
It’s not an unpopular opinion if we look at declining viewership of news channels or readers canceling newspaper subscriptions.
