So I want to add some context for this. A recent Trumper I talked with told me she was upset with how the media does its most to "rile up" minorities against the President and against people like her, who wish them no harm. There are two things I would point out about this.https://twitter.com/EvansRyan202/status/1056893466192547847 …

1. This denies agency to a very large number of people. The idea is, essentially, were it not for the media, there would be no culture conflict in the country at all. Lot of anger @ minority groups for 'blindly' following the other sides Party line.

2. This is *exactly* how a large number of democrats speak and think about Fox News, talk radio, and their audience. Make of that what you will.

Most conservatives' beef with the media is that they just feel hurt at being smeared as Nazis for holding what used to be bipartisan views on immigration

Alas most conservatives, and indeed most people, do not and cannot think like that. Political memory is short, for conservatives and liberals alike.

I disagree. Most conservatives are very aware of the fact that they have been silenced in the workplace and in the public sphere for what used to be fairly ordinary views. Almost everyone right of center I know laments the end of political debate.

Oh give me a break. Most conservatives live, as I do, in deep red states where they have no fear of stating what they think when they think it, be it at dinner tables or in boardrooms. There are industries where this is not true--but industries also are divided on partisan lines
