I’m still annoyed by this whole “bloodbath” thing. The issue for me had nothing to do with Trump’s intent, nor a herd press’s ability to dress-down his violent rhetoric and stochastic terror. It’s simply about shitty journalism that shifted the focus to the wrong thing. The story is NOT what he blithers in any one context, but WHY he uses such terms at all, and who he’s aiming them at. Anything else is lazy storytelling that just serves to widecast his tropes to more of them, en masse.
