We've gotten to the point where people don't care if the Emperor has no clothes on as long as it doesn't a) mess with the narrative and 2) I can blame Bush/Conservatives/Christians/Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/Bush/Insert person you hate more here.

While I didn't vote for Trump I do like some of things he does/is doing. Not to wild about the Tweeting. SMDH. It seems the more he does the more the haters scream. The more they scream, the more the facts show they are incorrect. The more incorrect they are shown to be the more they scream "racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe". The more they scream RSBH, the more the average American tunes them out, casts their votes, and go about their lives.

Trump isn't the buffoon people think. He's deliberately bringing his opponents into the open knowing it makes them look bad - the world at large has no interest in the tiny fraction of the population who protest anything, and the more they are in the public eye the more the average Joe will turn against them.
Trump has managed to get the judiciary's opposition into the open within a month. Hollywood is looking increasingly out of touch. He's allowing law enforcement to do its job. Things like the Antifa groups being threatened with being labelled terrorists, the status of the ADL and SPLC being reduced, forcing sanctuary cities to publish crime statistics, cutting off funding for cities who refuse to uphold the law, the 2 out/1 in regulation order - well it's the right redressing the balance of government culture which has been moving rapidly leftwards since the 1990s.
What is most amazing though is that politican A can do something and the media is silent or approves, politician B does the same thing and the media goes bananas. It's the same issue we had in the UK with Brexit last summer, 95%+ of the media is on the same side.
