4. The corporate media is the biggest reason we have Trump

They've been in love with him from the start and his second term is basically them gushing endlessly about him.

The billionaire class looked at the country and decided they were sick of bleeding the working class little by little over decades, they wanted to take everything all at once and permanently. So they took control of the media and installed Trump to get it all for them and then cement political control for the for seeable future. None of it would be possible without first taking control of the media.

And when I say everything, I mean everything, they are coming for it all. They are coming for your health care, social security, 401Ks, your home, they're coming for the rest of your benefits and vacation, and they're coming for your wages. They're even coming for your weekend, they consider workers having weekends off to be a liberal conspiracy.

And they're flat out saying this stuff out loud now. GOP senators and congressmen in recent weeks have said people are going to have to accept that social security is going to be cut, they've said people that are retired need to get back to work, they've said people are going to have to accept less health care. They're trying to end public schools and universities. Environmental regulations are on the block, but they're also ending worker safety laws and worker's rights. Everything middle America holds dear is being taken.
