And that goes both ways, both sides. Media is full of lies and hyperbole, whether it's the hate of fox and the mail, or the pissant nonsense of the guardian and cnn.
And in the modern world, truth doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what people believe.
I used to rant about Murdoch and his ilk being the most dangerous people on the planet. Well it's now Musk and his tech bros.
When you control the minds of the masses you can do what you want.
The plus side is, politics is cyclical. 5 years ago the Labour Party was dead, and never getting into power for 20yrs.... but the Tories found a way to implode, and by almost doing nothing but shutting up, Labour got back in power.
Trump will be gone in 4 years, and I think the US will flip flop again. As most governments will going forward.

I've been blocking this out since I found his Presidency all-consuming last time, and I'm determined not to let that happen this time for the sake of my sanity.
However, I just feel the need to say that I simply cannot believe that America voted him back in again. How f'ing stupid are these people?
I partly blame the Dems for not realising that a compliant media would emphasise Biden's failing cognisance whilst ignoring Trumps and accepting that a change was needed at a much earlier stage to allow consideration of more candidates. Maybe Harris still might have come through, but I somehow doubt it. They need to spend a period of analysis to determine their best and most electable candidate for 2028 and work to establish them in the public conscience.
I'm convinced the MAGA idiots are about to enter a period of FAFO, but it's little consolation.
Rant over.
