ニュースを読む人たちとニースをテレビで見る人達がいて、トランプ支持者はテレビ人間たちだ、と。
Allen believes that Trump’s anti-political correctness rhetoric makes far more sense in the context of TV, where there’s often criticism of elites and professional sectors.
Television also tends to have a greater focus on the potential dangers of crime and terrorism than print media. “TV news spends a lot more time on chasing bad guys and reporting on bad guys than print media does,” says Allen. Indeed, studies have shown that those who watch a large amount of TV are more likely to feel a greater threat from crime, and that the crime shown on TV is more violent and dangerous than real-world crime.
Not only does Trump better fit the narratives that often shape TV news, he also suits the language of television. Allen believes that the linguistic complexity of TV news is several grades below that of print news. And so Trump, whose speeches are at a fourth-grade level, is quite literally speaking the language of television.
テレビでは、エリートや専門家を批判し、また、悪人の脅威を必要以上に強調し、使われる言葉は、本や雑誌より単純、簡単な言葉が使われているが、トランプ氏はそうしたテレビによって形成された世界にぴったりはまっているのだ、と。
A reality shaped by television
という言い方が面白いと思いましたね。reality というと物理的な世界を考えちゃうんだけど、物理的世界以上の、本や雑誌によって形成される”現実”テレビやラジオによって形づくられる”世界”というのが存在し、そうした、情報世界は、人間によって作られ、消費され、また、共有され、消費する人間にとっては、実在の表象というより、そのまま、”現実”のように認識されるんでしょうね。
As a wise comedian says, we must own Trump — he didn't fall from the sky and, yes, he is a reflection our nation
政治家は庶民に嫌われるけど、別に空から落ちてきたわけではなく、我々の（国民性の）反映でしかないよ、と。
Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist.
Research by Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler has shown that authoritarian values have been increasing among the American people for at least the last 10 years.
Trump is unapologetically ignorant.
In 2015, 28 percent of Americans reported not having read a book in the last year. According to the 2013 Pew Research Journalism Project, two-thirds of the American public watches almost no TV news.
Trump is a celebrity and reality TV show star.
Reality television is a lie and part of a culture of illusion. It is immensely popular among the American people because it serves as a distraction from their anxieties and worries as well as a way for them to live vicariously through the fictions they see on the screen. Reality television also offers the promise that a “regular” person can become famous even though he or she lacks talent.
Trump is a violence-inciting bully.
As NPR has reported, “America is a world leader in gun deaths.” The United States also leads the world in mass shootings. America’s police kill more people on a daily or weekly basis than many countries’s police do in years. The United States has the highest rate of incarceration in the world.
Trump is a gangster capitalist.
The United States has one of the worst levels of wealth and income inequality in the world.
Trump is a racist and a bigot.
As political scientists Michael Tesler and others have documented “old-fashioned” racism is resurgent in the United States」
トランプは権威主義的ファシストだけど、アメリカ人は権威主義的傾向が強くなってきているし、トランプは無知だが、２８％のアメリカ人は去年一冊も本も読まず、３分の２の非アメリカ人はテレビニュースもほとんどみない、と。
また、アメリカ人は、現実から眼をそむけられるせいか、テレビ局が製作する嘘や幻想の番組が好きだ、トランプはそうした嘘の世界の有名人だし、トランプは暴力を煽るジャイアンだが、アメリカは拳銃による死亡率や、警察による死亡率は世界一だし、資本主義のせいで、格差は最悪だが、トランプはまさに、やくざもん資本家だし、彼は人種差別主義者だが、人種差別がアメリカで再び台頭してきているのを彼が反映しているだけだ、と。
