Not angry in the slightest.
It’s completely out of order for you to even speculate about mainstream media. There are moderate, conservative and leftist media outlets everywhere. Find one that echos your posture and stop bemoaning the fact that you can’t silence the opinions you do not agree with.
Erm can you tell me why I'm not permitted to speculate about the mainstream media? Are opinions not allowed now? Your suggestion that I'm "out of order" in doing so is bizarre. My only posture is one of frustration with media bias which is pretty heavily weighted against Trump. I say that as an impartial observer from the other side of the pond. I am not politically aligned with Conservatives so have no agenda in expressing that opinion.
What exactly did I say which would indicate I would like to silence alternative views? I'm all for plurality, even those views I disagree with, as I previously stated. I don't restrict my news consumption to outlets I agree with, that would be taking comfort in an echo chamber, which I try to avoid.
Are you even eligible to vote in an American Presidential election?
No, I'm in the UK, as I made clear earlier in the thread. I do hope that doesn't also preclude me from having an opinion. The USA is pretty influential, globally, so what happens there is of interest to me but you'll no doubt be reassured I have no power to influence the election!
Sincerely I would really like to know what part of Trunp’s platform resonates so deeply with you that you see him as the correct candidate and moves you to try to stuff your often misinformed information down the throat of anyone here who prefers Biden.
Don't think I said Trump's platform resonates with me or that he's the correct candidate. FWIW I think both candidates are poor. I'm simply pointing out the media bias I have noted. You are free to skip posts which you feel are trying to stuff misinformation down your throat. I don't think I've been insulting about Biden or his supporters.
Your contempt was very clear in the question about had I ever stopped to think about why people hate Trump. If you think I've formed an opinion without research then how else would you describe your question. I see the same kind of contempt for differing views in UK politics and it only serves to alienate moderates. Trump is not likable and has said and done some pretty reprehensible things, so have many other politicians but they haven't been subject to the same level of hate.
With regard to the hard left I am referring to the extremists who are rioting, looting and burning. When they march and chant "no justice, no peace" it sounds like a threat of more violence and destruction so it's no surprise people might favour someone pushing a law and order agenda. I can't imagine anyone who saw images of protestors in the US chanting "death to America" felt very comfortable.
The evidence you offer for Trumps racism is flawed. The case you identified related to a company he was in charge of. The quoted examples of potential tenants experiencing racism do not directly involve DT but his father or other people in the organisation. The FBI file does not cite anyone who claims they received direct orders from DT not to let to black tenants. The government did not win the case and Trump counter sued. I do not think this means he is not racist but I like cold hard facts and yours are not it and quite honestly there is more compelling evidence out there.
I'm getting the impression you're taking my audacity to have and express an opinion very personally so I won't be engaging further.
