    As someone who spent the better part of a decade chronicling & lamenting the rise of what came to be called “Trumpism” on the Right, it’s worth pointing out that two of the many contributing factors to this were (a) liberal media bias, and (b) the radicalization of the Left.

        I was willing to call out the uncivil and unseemly behavior on “my side.” But many of my friends in the media are not willing to call a mob a mob.

        [3] ...But indeed, even assuming your (a) is true (it isn't) - what relationship would this have to the right-wing's ever-growing misogyny, xenophobia, domestic terrorism, etc,etc? You sound suspiciously like a "YOU MADE ME DO THIS!" nutter, which you normally don't strike me as.

        No—I said a backlash against media bias & the left we’re 2 contributing factors of Trump’s rise. (There were *numerous* factors, like tech (twitter, cable news, globalism), & some that make the Right look very bad (latent racism, anti-intellectualism, etc.) Dont be reductive. https://twitter.com/RustinRustin78/status/1050023990549340160 …

        Bullshit. Of all the hand-wringing excuses on the part of conservatives for the rise of Trump, the "libs drove us to Trump with their nastiness" excuse is the lamest. Poor babies. The "party of personal responsibility" dodges its responsibility for embracing Trump. Again.

        It's always amazing how the party of personal responsibility only applies that idea to other people. The victimization mentality continues.

        What the fuck, dude? Liberals aren't fucking responsible for alt-right bigoted misogyny taking over the GOP. This is the lamest bullshit of an excuse for your own intellectual failure and cowardice in substantially confronting Trumpism when you had a chance to.

        Racism is more apt an answer but you will never acknowledge that fact.

        Yes, I will. I definitely think latent racism partly explains the rise of Trump on the Right. (There are many reasons for where we are.)

        Correct it was the right wing media creating fictional boogeymen on those subjects Just as Germans blamed the rise of “international Jewry” There is no more of a conspiracy against MAGAs than there was then
