Here is a speech from Bernie Sanders, taken right from his own website:

https://berniesanders.com/sanders-prepared-remarks-at-democr...

"Together, my friends, we have begun a political revolution to transform America and that revolution – Our Revolution – continues. Election days come and go. But the struggle of the people to create a government which represents all of us and not just the 1 percent – a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice – that struggle continues. And I look forward to being part of that struggle with you."

The reason I know most news coverage about Trump is bullshit is because Sanders was lauded as a hero and a man of the people. When Trump says pretty much the same thing, he's seen as a 'Batman Villain'. Politically, Sanders and Trump aren't that much different, which is why Hillary wasn't able to pull enough of his supporters over to her side.

It's really like the old story of the boy who cried wolf: After awhile, I just stop believing anything you have to say about Trump because you lied so many times to me.

Just stick to the truth. There are plenty of abhorrent things about the trump administration. The superfluous hyperbole will only result in people like me completely ignoring what you have to say.
