Part 6/14:
Political Polarization and the Rise of Trump
Despite constant media attacks, Donald Trump remains more popular than ever—an anomaly that signals a shift away from traditional media dominance. The relentless negative coverage, including impeachment efforts, legal battles, and even absurd claims like blaming him for attempted assassinations, appears to have bolstered his support rather than diminished it.
This phenomenon underscores a crucial turning point: the decline of the legacy media’s influence and the resurgence of populist, nationalist political figures. As the old guard becomes increasingly detached from the electorate, new leaders like Trump gain ground, signaling a post-liberal, nationalist wave sweeping across America and Europe.
