You read it here first: Trump is a manufactured crisis to drum up votes.

If it wasn't trump it'd be something/someone else. I've seen this for the past 45 years. It's the same every election. The republicans use the same tactic "if you dont vote for Bush the democrats are gonna take your guns away". Every election recycle and repeat.

Check out a book called Manufacturing Consent and you'll start seeing how your very own consent has already been manufactured.

I've also seen this. Gore was one of the most genuine public servants out there (which is apparent when you look at his congressional record), but he was caught in a narrative of "both sides are the same". I believed that narrative at the time, but it didn't take long after to persuade me otherwise.
