It’s another indictment on Americans. Trump never hid what he is. That excuses everything else about him.

The cynic in me knows they did it because he would be more sensationalist fodder. Nobody watches them if they have to report on weather or a boat launch.

The media spent four years treating a geriatric clock as the lead story while ignoring the blueprints for a demolition crew. We optimized for the "vibe" of the presidency and forgot to check the actual terms and conditions.

The fact that Hispanic men voted for trump in the first place is absolutely absurd. They fully bought into the BS "Dems are Communist" bullshit. In fact, Hispanic men were the deciding factor in this whole mess because they couldn't overcome or look past their own misogynistic and racist biases.

Exactly

You’ve proven my point. The electorate bears the responsibility of educating themselves. That’s not the media’s job. People rely on the media to educate them when they’re too lazy or too stupid to educate themselves, and then they go on to cast uneducated votes. Simple as.

Not too bright those hispanic men..

I don't understand how anyone who even vaguely resembles a Hispanic person voted for Trump knowing the scale of his deportation goals. There is literally no way to achieve those goals without abridging the rights of people who merely appear like they might be Hispanic.

Everything is for clicks/lolz, until the consequences meet realitity.

Indeed. Plus, there is no Black woman with a funny laugh between them and Trump.

I guess they realized that they were subject to the same racism as their friends and relatives that they may have south of the border.

Thanks Jake

An idictment? This is a direct response to being hunted, as evidenced below. This now happens every single day to Hispanic men on the streets of America. Their lives and communities are in disarray, yet they persevere. Pretty sure it has fuck all to do with the press. bsky.app/profile/meid...

I don’t think that’s correct. The way that news and human minds work, warnings about what may be coming don’t really cut through. News is designed for things that are happening: a hurricane is hitting right now, events are unfolding. Not for: more hurricanes will hit each year in the future.

So well said!

Honey, please! If you didn't know what Trump was capable of, what type of a person he is, then you're just fucking stupid. Stop blaming the (feckless) media.

Cue the guy in the hot dog suit

Anyone who didn’t think Trump was going to come in hot on deportations must have been living under a rock.

Kind of but also it was no secret what they planned to do.

I, for one, blame the American people.

Yes, and - I think there’s an ecosystem we don’t see unless we are embedded. The only hesitancy I found one day canvassing in PA were two Hispanic men. Didn’t like Trump but clearly had deep doubts about Harris that I suspect weren’t policy based.

You are absolutely correct

Joe Biden didn't even run.

Those Hispanic men knew. They just didn't think it would affect them.

💯

No, they knew. They just didn’t want to vote for a woman.

And Abbott redistricted the Texas Rio Grande Valley, at Trump's demand, to take advantage of Trump's popularity with Hispanics. Be careful what you wish for...

Maybe, but Trump’s plans for mass deportation were extremely well known by anyone paying attention. Trump has never made a secret of his racism. Anyone who voted for him knew — they either didn’t believe he’d follow through or didn’t think they would personally be affected.

I’m exposed to the same media ecosystem and I was entirely aware of Trump’s plans and the rhetoric he used to communicate them. It’s great so many of them have changed their opinion, but the choice they made 2 years ago is entirely on them.

Naw. They were just bigots and misogynists.

We have to stop this 4th estate b.s.. The news media exists to sell dick pills & movie tickets
