Well, you voted for communism, which is basically globalism and aims to have a mass population of starving, dying people so they can depend on programs forever, around the world. Trump just wanted to end this trend and start rebuilding the country, while also pointing out the media bias. It is what it is. Let's hope the system survives. Ironically it is this collective mindset of identitarianism, especially combined with socialism that is authoritarian. Their aim is to control people, that's why Trump supporters are demonized because it's an attempt to control people by scaring them.

Can you explain what is 'alt right' and what it means?

People who get their news and opinions from right wing conspiracy mills

Do you think it's best to shield yourself from dissent? Only certain authority figures are allowed to fact check?

Depends on the context.

You should try this web app:

https://spidr.today

It has MSM outlets as well as 'alt-right' outlets, and clusters articles by topic.

I find it useful for reading between the lines, surveilling for propaganda talking points, and generally keeping an open mind.

I think it's intellectually dishonest to ignore information based only on their source.

Cheers!

I'm not ignoring it because of the source, I'm ignoring it because it isn't remotely credible and doesn't remotely reflect the Democratic platform.

I wish I still felt that way.

I rest my case.
