As a surprise to no one, my corny AF local news is showing clips from a Trump rally and only saying "claims without evidence" (instead of, you know, *lies*) *after* letting his clips run.
They are also interviewing people who say it's "not going to be just" if he's convicted.
Scary shit in the same town where the Klan marched in celebration when he won in 2016. But please, do condemn us to their terrorist shit being even more normalized.
