Past week, been seeing a lot of anti liberal stuff on lemmy. So, you've got people from the outside trying to destabilize the u.s. saying, both sides are the same, democrats are just as bad as Republicans. This creates a scenario that created Trump becoming president in the 1st place. It's done on purpose.
Now, I understand that democrats, liberals aren't perfect. But we have one side trying to set up detention camps, threatening to kill political rivals, consumed with hate. Other side trying at least to be better people.
I'm asking honestly, I would like to learn. Why is the both sides mindset becoming so prevalent?
I truly believe it came about as a result of the loss of the fairness doctrine (thanks piece of shit Reagan) or at least that was part of it. And as a result, Fox News and other garbage like OANN provides absolutely no balanced viewpoints-it's just alt right garbage with outright lies.
CNN doesn't either in the sense it was purchased by a Trump supporter and now presents "both sides" by having Trump's dumb ass on there.
Billionaires know this; it's why arseholes like Elon Husk bought Twitter so they could control the both sides narrative and push anyone that could be "left" into a stupid centrist position.
