Deconstructing Politics in America

Today I'm going to be talking about the media and how it effects political views. I have done research on the Hong Kong protest and I have two news sources, Washington post and Fox news, Washington post coming from a liberal view point and fox news coming from a conservative view point. The Hong Kong began on March 31, 2019 and is still on going. The people of Hong Kong are protesting was because of the proposed legislation Hong Kong extradition bill. They are also demanding for the government to stop calling protesters as "rioters" and are against the police for arresting some protesters and an independent inquiry for police behavior. The first source I am going to be talking about is from the news source Washington post which is from a liberals view point. The article is basically about China vowing to prevent foreign powers from interfering in Hong Kong’s affairs and carrying out acts of separatism, subversion, infiltration and sabotage.

President Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 in New York.  He is part of the Republican party and he regularly focuses in issues that focus on the economy, immigration, national security and defense system.

Hi everyone my name is Austin Moore, I am 17 years old and I attend Summit Shasta High school and this is my first blog post for AP Gov. I took a quiz that shows your political typology a few days and I ended up being a country first conservative.  If you don't know the country first conservative beliefs, they believe in not worrying about world wide problems and just focusing on their own. They also believe that immigrants shouldn't be allowed in the country and they are very racist and homophobic. I think this quiz wasn't really accurate with giving me my typology but I do believe in we should focus on our own problems. We have too many problems we are facing and we don't have time to be jumping into other countries problems. I don't really see any countries helping us with our problems so why do we need to go out of our way and help them.
