News media coverage does not reflect this fact because western news media regard imperialism and mass military slaughter as normal US presidential stuff, and do not regard brown-skinned foreigners as human.<\/p>\n<p>I point this out because it\u2019s good to note, as Trump leaves office, that he spent his entire administration\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/caityjohnstone.medium.com\/the-persistent-myth-that-trump-opposes-war-11c3453d4917\">advancing murderous imperialist agendas<\/a>\u00a0which spilled very real blood from very real human beings while mainstream America barely even noticed. Their attention was drawn instead to endless narrative theater which had no impact whatsoever on the concrete actions taken by the US government\u2019s executive branch. Their gaze was kept fixated on meaningless political drama while the war machine marched on unseen.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans Only Care About America.
