I comparing journalism to journalism. If the current state is death then its always been dead, or deadish.
Yep.
Well of course because Big Tech really only arose in the 1970s with IBM, and Big Social Media in the 2000s.
I don't. I thought he got 10 million more than last time?
Yes, that's the "business as usual sucks" part. BTW Trump is establishment, he's a New York billionaire with a string of bankrupted companies and infuriated investors at his heels. Brain dead spin about "the Blue Collar Billionaire" and "the outsider" aside, he was partying with the Clintons and Epstein. The people looking for a change were cruelly lied to.
No he's a right wing president who enforced his ignorant agenda eg disregarding the ordinary person's half baked notions about COVID contrary to The People's primary self evident right, to life.
It was a ponderous bit of nonsense "why are my intellectual opponents so lame, and yet so badly dressed?" [smokes pipe]
You quote some ideologue of the right, and one example pops its silly bubble. We could cite Bush II's nonsense about freedom while invading Iraq and passing the PATRIOT Act, the Sowell quote has the intellectual force of wet toilet paper.
Trump moaned about his competence, and had his Muslim travel ban struck down. He claimed to have more popular votes in both elections, wrong both times. He claimed he would clean up the swamp, but Clinton didn't go to gaol. He was smugness personified, and disregarded the wishes of his followers (whether frustrated blue collar workers worried about work, rusted on Republicans rightly worried about a Clinton dynasty, or actual neo nazis looking for the Boogaloo), instead pork barrelling his own businesses. All style, no substance. He foisted his half baked ideology and mocked any dissenters.
Your claim these attributes are the preserve of some imagined Left are plain wrong.
