RE: Doomsday Clock - How to Save the World in 2018
Oh god, I'm not sure if it's going to be funny in our history books or just plain sad. Guess I won't know until the rest of his presidency shakes out, but damn I hope that he doesn't pull more stupid shit. The amount of salt I will feel if I get blow shy high over twitter beef would be insurmountable.
There's a good point to be made that it's all the medias fault. Whether left or right leaning, none of them did any favours and honestly, even after a year, I'm still over here wishing that Bernie Sanders ran independently. I imagine that we would him as president right now had he done so. If he was running, the media would have naturally put him in a good light, because they would have been throwing so much dirt toward Trump and Hillary that none of them would have expected they were making Bernie come out looking like gold. Ahhh, what a good dream that is.
I totally agree with your statement about being mostly left wing, yet being annoyed with the content that they put out. Earlier today I was writing out a script for another video and I was thinking about doing something on Arya Mosallah but decided to check BuzzFeed first, hoping for something even more ridiculous and non-YouTube related to talk about. Instead, I ended up scripting a whole video about how stupid their news section was. It's a mess of biased and unrelated issues. Hell, I looked at their section for world news and found two articles mostly about the US. Throughout the whole thing, there were tons of LGBT+ articles breaking the stream of the few bits of actual news they had posted. Never mind the gossip rag that they called the health section.
Of course, that's just the most stupid example of left-wing media that can be found, but I'm still nursing a headache over the short look at the website.
I used to actually hold a minor bit of hope for the Trump presidency, as stupid as that seems now. When he started I actually gave a little bit of credit to the idea that he might shake things up. Instead, like you said, he lets his office members tell him what to do, and unless they directly go against his image, he doesn't do anything to put reasonable people at his side. I more pity him at this point than anything else. My last and greatest hope for the Trump presidency now is that he doesn't start the end of the world while in the oval office.
