I do blame the media, I blame the media for “both sider-ism,” for the idea that Trump was a “normal” candidate whose platform wasn’t an appeal to the worst in Americans, that he was “just as bad” as Hillary. Months spent obsessing about every fucking “scandal” under the sun, about her health, about her emails, about Benghazi, about the way she took her coffee. The media did the shittiest job possible because when they weren’t talking down Trump’s negatives, they were boosting hers. They made a man who hasn’t the first fucking clue about politics into a legitimate candidate for the presidency.
