Should the right consider livestreaming his life to combat their media disadvatage.

Assuming he is a decent person it could work.

it's a crazy idea but these are crazy times.

No, because that's an invasion of privacy and someone, even an asshole like Trump, has the right to privacy - in their personal life, at least, to an extent. And I think all you'd find is that he is incompetent, sexist, racist, and a spoiled rich kid at heart. Which is stuff we already knew. Why does "the media disadvantage" bother you so much? Right-wing news is still out there and being absorbed by millions of Americans, like Breitbart and Fox News. As I've said elsewhere, maybe the problem isn't the majority, maybe it's you? Maybe you're so at odds with the majority of Americans that it's time to admit... well, it's similar to what SF Debris brought up in "Remember Me." "In one woman's struggle against the world, bet on the world."

Is the Remewber Me reference critical in this argument? I won't rewatch a 20 minute video to argue with you.

I like how you focused on one single part of what he said instead of the actual thrust of his argument.

Right. Here's the first problem: if Trump wasn't an ass hole (your words not mine), or a non-asshole Republican was president, the Republicans wouldn't have as strong a Media disadvantage. It may be a shock, but people like seeing jerks getting taken apart.

Second, because of national security and other secrecy, you can't simply have everything be broadcast 24/7. Third, it would be boring as all hell, and could only be improved by being edited.

Editing isn't exactly a solution. If the government edits it, people will say it's a weak publicity stunt. If people (media, activists, etc.) edit it, clips will be able to be used to drive the narrative, which is bad because all you're doing is providing ammunition.

Yeah. All you'd find out is other nations have stopped sharing most of their intelligence with Trump because he's a huge security risk.
