What you have always failed to realize is that the general public lost faith in the media long before Trump became President. Trump is now simply capitalizing on the public’s frustration with an insanely unfair, and biased media whose reporting has become sloppier and sloppier. People like you who take most of the media’s reporting at face value fail to see what’s really going on.
In order for any human (or really any other species of life, especially social animals) to exist in a stable population/society there needs to be some sort of hierarchy/order/culture where everybody knows their general place. This isn't about racism or sexism or religious intolerance, it goes way deeper than that and has literally been around billions of years.
This is basically what culture is in the first place. A society gets together and organically determines, these are our dominate Norms that most people are going to follow, and that is how societies function. The whole idea of a "multiculturalism" is an extremely modern, untested idea. It has worked so far in Canada and some of the other Western European countries where there is a distinct majority culture, whereas small minority cultures are allowed to be held up and celebrated on the periphery, but there is still order and the majority still feels safe because they are such a huge numerical majority.
I suspect multiculturalism, especially in a democracy, only works when the majority culture is a true majority. I think the whole thing will inevitably fall apart when minority cultures become demographically so large they actually threaten the majority culture. I suspect Canada and the Western European democracies that currently celebrate "multiculturalism" so strongly are going to develop serious tensions and have a very strong backlash if/when demographic shifts make it so the dominant culture isn't a plurality. We are already starting to see this in places like England and France where demographic trends are causing the dominant ethnic groups to lose population share.
Maybe I am wrong. But I suspect that if Canada keep on its current trend of immigration, birth rates and demographic change there is going to be some major multicultural based tensions, including a serious increase in "white naitonalism" as an inevitable response.
The irony is that every other non Western country/culture implicitly understands this. If you go to any non white country and suggest that country willingly import people from other cultures and support multiculturalism to the point where they are no longer even a plurality anymore, and they will go tell you to fuck yourself. It will never happen. You think Japan or China or Iran or Nigeria would ever support multiculturalism. No fucking way. They know it would be cultural suicide.
You actually see this in the oil rich small gulf states. These states import huge amounts of foreign labor to support their infrastructure. But they are very cognizant not to support multiculturalism. It is very clear. You are here to work, you are a second class (or worse) guest here, and as soon as you are done with the job we are kicking you out. They need the foreign labor, but no way are they allowing their own culture to be subsumed in the name of "multiculturalism"

I think you would be surprised. I have been beating the "MSM is biased and compromised" drum for years and years. I don't, and never have, watch a second of Fox News. I think this reflexive knee jerk reaction of liberal elites to just write off any criticism of their ideology as "well, you are just a Trumpkin or watch Fox News too much" is not only incorrect, but just increases polarization.
The liberal MSM is extremely biased and compromised, and has been for a long time. And you don't have to watch Fox News, or even be a Republican/conservative to see it. All you have to do is not be a liberal ideologue. Depending on the poll and the exact question asked, something around ~75% of people don't trust the MSM. This is a hell of a lot higher % of people than watch Fox News or vote Republican. There is a real issue here and you can't just hand waive it away, or use the "well, the MSM lies less and is less dishonest than Fox News so it is ok" approach.
As I have said before, the Democratic Party has actually done a excellent job of using race-bating tactics to sell themselves as the party that supports poor, minority interests, where by any objective measure it is pretty obvious the Democratic Party is really the party that support rich liberal elites, and poor minorities are just useful stooges that keep them propped in office.
Exactly. I have been fed up with the media for many years even before there was even a hint that Donald Trump would be President. I also rarely if ever watch Fox News. Hardcore liberals don’t see a problem with it because it gives them constant confirmation bias which they love. The mainstream media feeds their need to be “right”.
