In recent weeks, President Biden’s poll numbers have fallen off par in comparison to Donald Trump’s because voters clearly do n’t recall the” chaos” of the Trump era. This has become a recurring theme in The New York Times ‘ coverage of the 2024 campaign.
A new Times study that showed Trump with a sizable result in all but one of the six bounce says that will determine the election made the paper’s most recent try to “fetch” occur.
” Two of the biggest U. S. news events in years, the Covid crisis and the Jan. 6 smashing of the Capitol, are sometimes the first thing on people’s minds when it comes to their thoughts of the Trump administration, for instance …”, the Times said. ” When asked to describe the one thing they remembered most from Donald J. Trump’s presidency, just 5 percent of respondents referred to Jan. 6, and only 4 percent to Covid”.
In other words, the Times would like to know why you idiots are n’t still aghast over things that, according to them, indisputably prevent Trump from being elected president once more.
Covid was referred to as” chaos,” but it appears that enough people now realize that the panic was a product of the hysterical media’s ( Jake Tapper ) efforts to unseat Trump. Jan. 6 was” chaos”, yet it looks like enough people now know it was, at worst, an inconvenient day for Washington, D. C.’s incompetent police force, plus the drama queens in Congress who wo n’t stop talking about how much they cried that day. Nothing else compares to the voter experience under this leader.
I call it the internet” chaos” dilemma. What the Times dispassionately declares to be” conflict” is not panic. That any one event captivates editors and TV citizens in Washington, driving them to the internet and their speakers to cry, “UNPRECEDENTED”! does n’t require that everyone else is as concerned or even cares. A message is no panic. No conflict when a government employee is fired. A telephone call is certainly conflict.
The word” conflict” was used in the above article four days. Though, to be sure, it’s not just the Times that presses the” chaos” paradox. A minute Trump name is likely to be as turbulent and controversial as the first, according to an obscure newspaper in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday.
Co-host and main squeeze Mika Brzezinski pondered aloud last week on MSNBC’s” Morning Joe” how more people were n’t made to feel the same way about the so-called “hush money” prosecution of Trump in New York. She did n’t use the word” chaos”, but the sentiment was the same — , Do n’t you dummies get it?! Trump is creating more panic, and it’s not good! It’s awful! And this moment a video actress is involved! And it’s gender! What do idiots want more of? !
With sympathies to the Marcel Marceaus of MSNBC, outside of Washington, outside of the internet, it’s just not that exciting. It’s just not that exciting to have sex for wealth and then ask for money for it only to be a witness in a bookkeeping test. Looking back, a lot of people are inured by the” panic” that Trump brought, but not because of Trump. It’s because of the internet.
When everything is” chaos”, nothing is. The citizens then know nothing of what was said and that everything was. But do you actually understand conflict? Particularly the statements made by the internet are false.
Watching your debts go up and your savings go down? That’s conflict. In the midst of soaring rents and firm foreclosures, are you witnessing city degradation? That’s panic. Nightmare at night, wondering when the upcoming world war that will immediately implicate the United States might start. That’s panic. Watching the frontier being strewn over by thousands of Third World migrants seeking safety in America, where they will undoubtedly find their way into local communities across the country?  , That’s conflict.
For a variety of factors, you already know that Washington and the internet are not given a pressing need. It’s so much so that they do n’t even bother to mention any of them that the economy has never been better ( middle-classmen have actively deteriorated ), that illegal border crossings are beneficial ( local authorities ration public services to real citizens ) and that “violent crime” is at a record low ( excludes Los Angeles, New York, as well as armed robberies and carjackings ).
To be honest, the earlier Times review did reveal that Trump’s “personality” was what a majority of voters remembered most during his term in office. Well, yeah, because it was unlike anything past has ever seen before. But the innovation — , the” conflict” — , of that character has long worn off now that he’s out of business and the pump has been replaced by real panic.
Washington and the internet are also pretending to care about the “norms” and the “unprecedented“. However, voters are aware of the state of panic. And they’re feeling it.
