Never before have we seen a presidential candidate or, really, any candidate for high office in the western world, so severely smeared to the point where a journalist lashes out full on name calling the masses who dare hold an opinion. We have seen people fired from their positions, Silicon Valley pioneers silenced, professors scared to speak, authors witch-hunted. Long standing republican institutions have, for the first time in more than a century, we keep being told, endorsed a non-republican candidate. Trust in the mainstream media, which uniquely has recently so overtly shown to wear no clothes, is as low as it can be.
