I'm convinced at this point the media not only wants it's horserace narrative, but wants a Trump presidency for ratings. And at the rate they're going, they might very well get it.

It's because the 24/7 news media dies if the race isn't close.

I wish more of GAF would stop paying attention to the media circus with all its strategic twists and clickbait, and instead focused more on straight up news rather than the newsmakers. They're taking the country for a ride every minute of every day.

How do you feel about american developers?

USA committed a lot of atrocities in Latin America, just in the last 60 years. They basically destroyed democracies, enabled military coups with thousands of people getting killed or never heard of again, families separated, kids being taken away from their pregnant mothers, Guatemala syphilis experiment, El Salvador terrorism USA groups, Los Contras in Honduras, Salvador Allende assassination and the following regime of Pinochet with USA backing it, etc.

I doubt more than 5% of developers in USA would recognize all those things and say USA's government until before Obama were war/terrorist criminals.

The entire USA tangent isn't entirely misguided, because the heart of this debate is "nothing is inherently apolitical" versus "there is no ethical consumption in late-stage capitalism anyways." It's a genuine philosophical dilemma.

Flash forward to Trump making big gains in key battleground states

I know it's not wise to speculate, but seeing this got me to wondering. Knowing that "terrorist" attacks would almost certainly help Trump's chances of winning, what are the chances that some of the many white supremacists out there get it in their heads that it would be a good idea to try and pull off false flag attacks that can be easily blamed on the usual suspects?

It's somebody's alt, most likely. Jump on this account, say some inane bullshit, and hop off for a year.

That's quite a telling post history. Trump is an idiot that also happens Roche a big ego, having a big ego doesn't make him any less of an inexperienced idiot who doesn't deserve to be in politics whatsoever. Thanks for being ok with sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, racism, white nationalism, and fascism.

Honestly I feel like Trump is going to win at this point. I feel like Hilary isn't going to get the minority turnout she should. I just don't get that same feeling from the black community when it was Obama running. Black celebs were really pushing the voting message across hard, but now with Hilary I don't get that vibe at all which is kinda sad because this is the one where their vote is needed the most in US History.

Carson personally prevented Dean Martin, an invited guest, from performing at a 1981 Washington D.C. pre-inaugural gala for Ronald Reagan, deciding that Martin was clearly too inebriated.

You're not anywhere near as clever as you think you are.

Since you don't seem to want to expend any brain cells into the topic despite constantly posting in it, let me tell you a little bit about political culture. You may not think Fallon's little shit here will result in anything because it doesn't result in a direct polling bump, but Trump's message and attitude, and most importantly, his supporters and ideals, does not begin and end at his campaign. If these people see a political campaign that includes plenty of MSM coverage that includes talk show hosts palling around with the guy and patting his head, it legitimizes their shitty views in their eyes. And even when Trump loses, it contributes to the CULTURAL impact that this man continues to have.

And even when Trump loses, it contributes to the CULTURAL impact that this man continues to have.

Oh he's not done:

The impact of Trump's ideology on everyday culture is far, far from baseless paranoia. It doesn't make any sense why you would scoff at it. You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I think that due to the Fallon interview that shit will go down immediately, that the entire world is gonna wake up Monday and go "well he was chummy with Fallon, guess I better vote for the guy!" We both know that's not how it works, so just drop that strawman already.

You don't point to any one particular exact thing and go "THIS IS WHERE CULTURE WENT WRONG". That's not how culture works. Inherently, culture is about the environment that is created. But you can see the telltale signs of where culture can shift and change, where something that was once unthinkable is later unsurprising or even worse, expected. You can see it in action over the entire past year. Trump's initial speech he made the very day he ran is the one that people remember the most, even though he has since said far worse things at any given day that barely get the time of light. That's precisely because of the normalization that has happened with Trump coverage.

The normalization from the news is much different form other kinds. News outlets continue to use Trump's outrageous remarks to give them as much limelight as possible and drive views/clicks. Fallon is a different thing entirely. You have a candidate who is abhorrent by every measure and unfit by every metric. By and large no one should feel compelled to give this guy a grand old time and pal around with him, largely because he's an unlikable, awkward, egotistical piece of shit. He's the exact opposite of "guy you would want to have a beer with". Fallon's behavior toward him was completely manufactured.

You're gonna keep laughing at the notion that people are criticizing Fallon, as if this were some zero-sum game where if you criticize this you somehow can't criticize any of the other myriad of bullshit Trump continues to spew. I understand that, because I think we both know you're well past the point where you actually want to discuss anything. But I'm not making up the concept of political culture, and I'm not making up the factors that contribute to said culture. No, I don't believe the interview will directly lead to poll bumps, or instant massive shifts in opinion. I do believe it's one of what could be many steps to normalize his ridiculous stances and generally abhorrent behavior, and that's something worth criticizing whether you like it or not.

Jimmy Fallon just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about regressive left culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in alt-right America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over on late night television, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the permatriggered public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to watch the Tonight Show, nor will they watch any of Jimmy Fallon's movies. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Jimy Fallon has alienated an entire internet video game forum with this move.
