There is too much corruption, too much power

The US government has been subverted on every single level

The size of government has never been decreased, only increased and there is nothing to stop that from happening forever except a revolution or massive crash.

Trump is doing *some* good stuff but he's also doing some harmful things, and he isn't even the most powerful person really

I've been mostly disappointed with Trump since I have a few key issues I do not budge on.

Yeah same

what are those key issues?

Namely his flip-flopping around immigration where he isn't as extreme as people hope or fear.

Immigration, middle east stuff

how do you feel about the entire “russia” allegations

It's pretty much just character defamation

I've never done a deep dive into it, but my outside glance is that some things are really bad optics and look bad on Trump, the rest are extreme slander and libel by a powerful class of people bent on destruction.

Trump is more in bed with Israel than with Russia, by far

They just repeat it until enough people believe it

With no evidence

The MSM haven't cared about the truth for decades

The fact that they haven't provided more evidence is evidence that it has no basis

Didn't the CEO of CNN or something admit it was a lie?

tbh i havent looked into too much so i dont really know how much they have or if they have anything on trump

The Project Veritas tapes where he said, "Who cares if it's true, it gives us good ratings?" or something similar?

i wouldnt put it past media tho

producer not CEO

wild ive never seen that

The source video is from Project Veritas, they're very popular among Republican circles.

They have undercover reporters secretly tape different people into admitting things.

Yeah

They uncover people admitting shit really easily

here is the full clip https://youtu.be/jdP8TiKY8dE

I search "CNN producer russia project veritas" on youtube

It's the 10th video

Lmao

ill look into that

Although I'd recommend shifting away from politics.

I went from giving all of my free time to daily politics and political scandals to nearly none of it.

*Most* people here are political enough to where we gain some level of enjoyment and satisfaction talking about politics and learning about it, but I stopped gaining enjoyment from it.

It's just a *meh* to me now.

Once you go deep enough politics starts becoming pretty dark and demoralizing

I've been trying to avoid it recently tbh

I think I reached the core, at this point I don't gain anything except stress from listening to or talking about politics

I only got stress from politics when I was apolitical.
