Hope Has Never Trickled Down, It Has

Hope Has Never Trickled Down, It Has Always Sprung Up.

It's Cnn Who Really Should Hold Trump Accountable. And Because They Are Trading The Short-term Fix Of Increased Ratings By Focusing On Trump Drama - And I'm Not Saying They Shouldn't Cover The Russian Investigations, Of Course They Should - But The Blanket Coverage, It's Not About News Values. It Is About Ratings. And It Comes At A Tremendous Cost Because Trump Supporters Are Fully Defended Against This. As Far As They're Concerned, This Is A Vast Conspiracy, It's Fake News, It Doesn't Impact Their Daily Lives, It Makes Them See Trump As A Victim, Which He Wants To Be Seen As.

Trump Walked Into A Media Setting For Which He Was Far Better Suited Than The Other Contenders Because He Actually Knows How To Do Reality Tv And Made Them All Look Like Pretenders. And I Would Argue That Our News Media Has Only Gotten Worse Since Trump Got In Office. Trump Is Media Crack. The Ratings Have Never Been Higher. The Reason Cnn Would Run An Hour Of An Empty Podium Waiting For Him To Show Up During The Campaign Is Because They Were Terrified If They Turned Away From Trump Their Rating Would Go Down.

A Lot Of People Voted For Trump Because Of The Promises He Made Around Jobs. And So It's A Failed Political Strategy If The Goal Actually Is To Get Trump Impeached. Trump's Not Going To Get Impeached If He's Still Useful To The Republican Party, And The Only Thing That Makes Him Not Useful To The Republican Party Is If His Base Turns On Him. And That's Not Going To Happen Over Russia. That's Going To Happen Over Economic Betrayal. But That's Not Going To Happen If No One Knows That It's Happening.

In Pragmatic Terms, Our Challenge Is Less To Save The Earth From Ourselves And More To Save Ourselves From An Earth That, If Pushed Too Far, Has Ample Power To Rock, Burn, And Shake Us Off Completely.
