very strange to watch ostensibly neutral pundits just assume that its donald trump who is near the center of american politics and the democrats who have veered away from most voters, when the reverse is much closer to being true

anyway one thing i strongly believe is that many people in political media have basically adopted the herrenvolk-ish belief that a narrow band of white people in the "heartland" constitute the "American people," confering legitimacy on the candidate or party who wins them.

There’s this habit of asking Dems loaded questions and pushing them for answers that is not extended to Trump. It’s almost as if Trump is allowed to have mindless absurd ideas and democrats are assigned to describe in detail why they are against it.

But popular among his base. That is what counts. What counts is the proportion of Trump supporters who favor these things, not the general population.

This explains Trump's behavior. Not the entire media's.

It's also about how strongly these ideas animate the people who hold them. People who want to build the wall are emphatic. I would guess that many people who support giving public health insurance to undocumented immigrants are more of the "that seems reasonable" persuasion.

The corporate media's mask is slipping. They accept the right's positions as the default, no matter what. Why? Because they are owned by capitalist rightwingers
