Because they live in a bubble of their own making. That's why.
And in that bubble, everything about America is manageable. Things can
get worse, but then they get better. Money is tight, then it's loose.
Employment figures drop, then they rebound. Wars start, and then they
end.
Looking at the country and the population through the wrong end of the
telescope, these media creatures feel themselves positioned high above
the madding crowd. To them, phrases like "street smart" and "savvy" are
the closest they get to anything real.
Occasionally, they remark that people are restless "out there" and
looking for a change---as if Obama, with his massive slogans, somehow
supplied that need for eight years and solved the whole problem for a
while. As if the problem was simply a psychological kink that needed to
be worked out.
So naturally, these down-their-nose puffed-up media morons didn't notice
that "things" were actually getting worse, the employment figures were
being cooked, month after month, the Globalists with their trade
treaties were stealing the whole economy, and had been for decades.
Naturally, they didn't notice that a normal political "correction"
wasn't going to fix America. They didn't notice that, in a nation
where, at minimum, 40 million immigrants already live, people were
getting tired of being told they had to be more generous and let the
southern border of the US swing open and stay open, or be labeled
outright racists. The media puffballs didn't appear to notice that the
political Left was becoming more comfortable with the idea that all
private property (except their own) was some sort of crime and ordinary
straight-ahead non-crony capitalism was another crime, and earning a
living on one's own was yet another crime, because entrepreneurs and
small-business owners "didn't build that." They didn't notice, in other
words, that the Left was nudging political discourse and public opinion
and "morality" in the direction of funneling more and more of the
population into the arms of the central government, as a permanently
dependent class. Or if they did notice, they assented to it, because it
was trendy and "humane." They didn't notice that huge swaths of
America were sick and tired of overwhelming federal authority. They
didn't notice that the overwhelming majority of gun owners weren't
shooting people, and resented being lumped in with killers, and objected
to efforts to squeeze their 2nd Amendment. Nor did the media morons
notice that large elements of the population weren't buying into
psychiatric mental disorders or pop psychology as a way of life in a
kinder gentler (drugged) society, but instead were determined to live
their own lives with forward-looking energy. The media morons failed to
notice that the attack of political-correctness creatures was being
sloughed off and laughed off by increasing numbers of people who had no
intention of censoring themselves.
Therefore, it shouldn't have come as a surprise that Donald Trump, whom the media created as a cartoon of final judgement (
"You're fired!"---The Apprentice), would start firing all sorts of people in real life, with success.
But it did come as a surprise.
Because the media puffballs couldn't imagine that a loose-talking
devil-may-care-character would emerge on the scene and speak to the
needs and frustrations of so many Americans---and bypass them, the media
kings.
It was unthinkable.
Even worse, some Americans who didn't agree with Trump and didn't
believe he was for real were still liking him, simply because he was
cutting across the grain, he was talking back to media and telling them
where to get off.
He was violating secrets of the media temple, matter-of-factly saying
vaccines could cause autism, and promising to pin the blame for 9/11 on
the real killers. He was refusing to go along with the gun-control
crowd. He was blowing up the acceptable garble called political
discourse. He was talking dismissive smack at his Republican opponents
and at Hillary. He was saying the Globalist trade treaties were
national sabotage and economic suicide.
He was his own media outlet.
And his ratings were soaring.
After Super Tuesday, he hit the top of the charts.
