This is the kind shit the machine wants you to believe so the whole caboodle can be disregarded as hysteria. This is the kind of shit that creates stories for the masses. This how the propaganda machines works. They focus on the little shit to piss people off instead what peoples fears really are. Look at the comments. That is exactly what they are going for.

The "machine" hates Trump.

That's part of the reason why I like him.

And yeah the "machine" hates the left and tries to denigrate them at every opportunity. But so much of the left is so damned wimpy that they leave themselves open to it. Bernies one of the few lefty's out there that showed any backbone. And he got thrown under the bus.

The establishment (I prefer to call it that instead of "machine") also pulled out all the stops to try to throw Trump under the bus too. But he beat them. I admire him for that. And boy have I taken a lot of flak for saying stuff like that.

Marketing paves the way. And marketing's ability to shape and control is at the heart of American Fascism.
