Many of them have no clue about half of the stuff that he did in the first place so theres nothing for them to dislike. They just don’t watch anything political, so their news sources are twitter, and ads that appear as they surf the web.

How is this part happening? It really is our media being taken over by billionaires and product placed into echo chambers.

Doesn't matter what the media does if people no longer consume it.

Yes, we should consume less media. Will that happen for most of America? I doubt it.

I remember cutting off most media when I was super young and actually missing the commercials. They were comforting or something? Very odd, I still ponder that.
