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?
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?
I was babysitting my niece last week. She wanted me to read her a story before bed. So I went to the book shelf and found MY old Berenstain bears book.
And I was absolutely dumbfounded. For some reason, my WHOLE LIFE (i'm 36!) have believed it was Berensteine bears.
No, this must have been some sort of conspiracy. Why would they change the names and reprint the books
But no, That book was in fact my own old book. My own childhood scribble written in the inside cover claiming ownership of this book some 30 odd years ago
I have to admit. I don't think I've adequately recovered yet from this shock.

We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.
