Real " haters " were tuned in to media image of Donald Trump

A " pontificating imperialism " - war crimes in Syria
   As a democratic socialist I am no friend of the Trump-loving crowd. But the mainstream news media did do a smear job on Trump worthy of the McCarthy era. Just replace " communist " with " hater ".

   Trump's desperate working class supporters - betrayed by the Hillary Democrats- were also smeared as benighted " deplorables ". White working class Catholic voters could not identify with Hillary Clinton's " identity politics " pandering to race, gender, and sexual orientation.

   She also made traditional religious people seem like second class citizens.

   The real " haters " were tuning into a news media image of the right wing nationalist Donald Trump. When was he ever unmasked as a KKK type bigot before he ran for president ?
