I couldn't say it better myself!
You could write an encyclopedia on all the stupid/wacko/ignorant/foul/hateful/vile/outrageous - and sometimes hilarious - statements that Republifacists both in office - and out - have made in the past 6+ years.
Hearing all this verbal crap year-in and year-out is desensitizing! It starts normalizing craziness and cruelty as ordinary.
Space and time are limited. Like an invasive species of plant it starts crowding out all the indigenous species. Giving so much attention to those who are not worthy feeds the fuel of more asinine statements. Encouraging them to be perpetual and never ending.
The news media according to the New York Times gave Donald Traitor TWO BILLION DOLLARS worth of free advertising just for his 2016 campaign! (Some reputable news outlets believe it's closer to FIVE billion!) Did the news media do that out of the kindess of their hearts? Nope! They did it because by monitizeing our eyeballs (increased readership/viewers) the news media -across the political spectrum - substantially increased their bottom line. If you don't believe me ask Kos. Less coverage of Trump is one if his reasons for staff cutbacks!
From now on I will read every article title before clicking with only one question in mind: is this primarily about what Republiwackadoodles are saying or is it something substantial about what they are doing? I'm finding it very liberating by cutting down on reading the nonsense that is being spewed out on a daily basis!
