Why is it meant to be provocative? How about it's meant to be signal what you believe in? Just like so many signal all day long, for whatever it is they think is important enough to signal? Social media is signaling, and it's everywhere. Trump's got his warts, as does everyone else. I have no problem with the media calling him out on some the crap he says. I have a huge problem with the media pretending he's the devil, and that he has no redeeming quality or value, and that they and their boy don't have major issues. The notion that it is a foregone conclusion that Trump's faults are by far and away so much worse that the faults of liberals is exhausting, and I think much of the Country agrees with me. Lots of votes for Red this time around, much more than we were told would happen, and Trump, who has been villainized by 90% of the media for the entirety of his time, looks like he may lose by the slimmest of margins. People aren't buying the group think, they aren't buying the identity politics. Democrats are in a bit of bind right now. People aren't buying the woke movement, and Democrats have some tough decisions to make.
