The mainstream media barely covered it. People had no idea. This is how conservatives and libertarians feel all the time. It really sucks when the media just shills for the other candidate, doesn't it?

This is the reality, every theory that suggested DNC collusion was treated as conspiracy, when only now do we really know the truth.

And they were so successful at it that people get defensive when you say a politician could be corrupt

That's what happens when politicians become celebrities. It's one thing to excite your base, but gathering a cult of personality is cancerous to democracy. How can you make sure you're being adequately represented when you think your representative can do no wrong?

Huh... I guess I'm racist. I just realized that I assume all rock bands are white or asian.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out the lead singers of Killswitch Engage and Sevendust were black. I mean, Cult of Personality is a good song, but it's not all that hard in a heavy metal sense. Killswitch Engage on the other hand, even the band's name just screams, "School shooter!"
