The MSM always just dismisses Trump’s internet supporter’s energy as “racism” and “rage”, which is obvious bs. I always see tons of Trump memes and comments everywhere, and online his supporters are always the most passionate. Unfortunately, there aren't that many MAGA/KAG guys around in my area that I can talk to and discuss ideas with, and I also don’t have the time to spend all day browsing the forums online, so I’ve always been curious about what got other guys out there excited about Donald. I have a bunch of questions, feel free to answer whatever you want.
What do you think the best way to reason with a liberal friend/relative is? How do you know which media sources are real, and which are fake news? What do you guys think about Republicans like Mitch Mcconnel, Lindsey Graham, etc, those guys have been in congress a very long time, were they part of the deep state/swamp or were they always good guys? What exactly is the deep state? What gets you excited to talk about him online? How do you respond to liberals who don’t trust him? Before Donald made America great again, was America just ok, or was it bad for you? How much time do you think you spend online that is related to him? How much has YOUR life actually gotten better since he became POTUS? A little? A lot?
When you've decided that an outlet is producing fake news, do you stop paying attention to whatever that outlet does in the future or do you continue to absorb its content regularly in order to maintain a balanced perspective?
Pay even more attention! It's like a fake news rabbit hole. The beauty of fake news is that it's a window into bias. If you know an article or piece of news is fake, and it wasn't a one-off mistake, you know the author had a motive. Now you see that article through the opinion lens. Now think about all the articles like that, and notice the patterns. You'll eventually start to see past the black and white fake news, and dive into the gray. For example the news is real, but the piece/article uses selective truths to weave a narrative. This is the fake news you really need to worry about. It's where multiple sources reporting the same things give you a larger picture to compare. If the whole story is a face. Why did outlet A only focus on the eyes? Why did outlet B talk about everything but the eyes? Why is outlet C telling you what eyes like that mean instead of just showing you the face and letting you decide?
