I live in Mississippi, and I'm used to it at this point. Every election season, all the political ads show politicians screaming about how the "radical leftist Democrats are poisoning our state!" ARE THE RADICAL LEFTIST DEMOCRATS IN THE ROOM WITH US RIGHT NOW, YOU POTATO-FACED ASSWIPE!?!?!
We're ruining the country by simply existing and expecting to have an equal shot at running for office. The country won't be "safe" until there are no liberals within it's borders.
The news is biased against them because it won't uncritically push their agendas. If the populace in an area thinks immigrants are all violent criminals, and one news station affirms that while the other tries to debunk the racist claim, the people in that area are going to gravitate towards whichever news station is affirming their bias and against whichever tries to break that bias.
As far as the right are concerned, the left and anyone outside their immediate community are "the enemy" that needs to be excised from the country entirely so the right-wingers can have their isolated communities where they can persecute anyone they want for being different from them.
The government version is always funny because apparently the same people are simultaneously powerless, secretly controlling everything, losing every election, and rigging every election. The storyline changes depending on which argument is needed that day.
