Trump demonstrates how powerless we are against treachery. He has demonstrated how far someone can mislead the American public. Our government could have been making less obvious maneuvers for years, and we might have just rolled with it.
The Trump administration has been a wake up call. It has shined a bright light on the corruption and evil that our government has been indulging in and it can no longer be ignored.
However, many people are still only able to recognize it when it occurs on the other side of the aisle.
Yes, but it's the administration (or Congressional representatives, or both) PLUS complicity by the news media, who pays more attention to subjective loyalty to a 'cause,' and less attention to objective, dispassionate transmission of the facts, who are jointly to blame.
No one will accuse Fox News (and to a lesser extent MSNBC) of objectivity. CNN is more objective, it seems to me, than the other two.
That's why a partisan-free A.I. 'override' could conceivably be built into the decision-making process, which would ideally filter out human emotion, and the instinct to win at all costs, and calculate precisely the correct response to a given set of inputs..
@Fred_Snerd A lot goes into it. As complicated as it's become, perhaps only a computer could design an algorithym (sic) capable of balancing competing priorities.
