i even see some of the more normally sensible 'never trumpers' talking about him as a populist authoritarian.
these folks view policies supported by the majority of working americans as more of a threat than the 40% or less anti-constitutional far right demagogue agenda embodied in trump.
on morning joe a few days ago...they were absolutely baffled that bernie was top 2 in polls and gaining on biden (after announcing). dude was the most nationally viable contender in 2016 not named clinton/trump who only *increased* his national recognition up to now. would they be confused by anyone else with those credentials in that position?
bernie obviously isnt my chosen candidate this time around.
but i will happily vote for him if he is the nominee.
the fucked up part is...if he is eventually the dem nominee...he will already have to contend with a disproportionate amount of oppo research done by mainstream media outlets themselves.
trump, the media, and howard schultz are all gonna be pushing the same coordinated anti-socialist smear campaign.
2020 is gonna be a rough one fam. i really hope we can push through the bullshit and stay hardened behind the dem candidate...even if its not our personal favorite.
