Trump was able to point out and make people aware of how corrupt and compromised our media is. As my username states, I formerly identified more with the left. I fell for the media tactics, I always thought the media was credible. Trump made me second guess that and slowly (about 2 years into his presidency, mainly after the Russia sham started falling apart) I became a Trump supporter and I now hate the media. And I think most people think that way, there are way more Trump supporters than the mainstream media leads these misinformed cnn viewers to believe.

Yeah. All true. I had my red pill moment when I worked on the presidential campaign of Hubert Humphrey ( LBJs VP ) when he ran against Nixon in 1968. Humphrey and Trump were a lot alike except for the super model wife and a few billion dollars. Humphrey was a social conservative that would put 99% of republicans today to shame. He lost to Nixon. But 1968 is when the Progressive Party ( Communists) rioted at the Chicago democrat convention and they took over the party. In 1972, the democrats ran George McGovern, a leftist, against Nixon. I didnt like Nixon but I changed sides and worked for his campaign instead. Nixon got his second term. McGovern later opened a B&B up in New England -his first private sector job- and bitched about the ridiculous taxes and anti business regulations. I think that was George McGovern's red pill moment too.
