Has anyone ever written a single story on the most salient fact of American politics: Trump& #39;s strong, enduring unpopularity?
There have been literally hundreds of stories where reporters go find someone who likes Trump and says "They still like Trump!" but the core fact of US politics since 2016 is that Trump is essentially permanently unpopular. Has anyone ever written about this, or asked why?
Even when it& #39;s mentioned, it& #39;s chalked up to "Democratic polarization" or "Trump derangement symptom," as if the earning the permanent loathing of ~50-55 percent of the country is just partisan politics and reflects nothing fundamental about the politician that might be important
Media has spilled vast amounts of ink covering the people who LIKE Trump. There has been, almost literally, no coverage at all of the people who DISLIKE Trump.
It& #39;s incredibly distorting because polls show the latter group is in firm command of US public opinion.
