Keep reading. History always repeats itself. The "press" gone through cycles and made a lot of mistakes over time. Read about the Spanish-American War, it happened because of the press. Don't believe everything you read in the press, even about Trump, because real reporting has taken a back seat.

i was doing some research on john adams bc that’s the kind of girl i am.. and i found out that he was deeply unpopular because of an act he passed. they were called the alien and sedition acts. i didn’t think much of it until i read the article and this is what i found.
in the alien and sedition acts, john adams:
did not allow people to protest the government
did not allow immigrants into the US
did not allow freedom of the press
jailed lawmakers
deported foreigners
fined and imprisoned those who would “write, print, utter, or publish… any false, scandalous and malicious writing” agains the government
violated personal rights
RESTRICTED FREEDOM OF SPEECH
and it made me think… wow… i’m glad that the United States has come far so we don’t have to worry about all this….
and then i realized… this is exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
history is repeating itself. donald trump is the new john adams. spread the mf word.
