I find the cheerleading to be revolting and manipulative. Like the Hopium guy, or Liberal Redneck. Misleading pabulum for true believers willing to suspend disbelief.

“Trump in Panic After Caving Like a Coward,” “Trump Crumbles in Public as His Entire Life Unravels” and “Democratic Leaders Destroy Trump in Red Districts.”

and then we lose another election but they are still paid by the clicks.
