no one on either side of the political aisle seems particularly happy
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....I dunno about that. Sounds like projection to me.

It's the same damn format they use when they want to bash Trump, cutting from a clip of him smiling to some "horror" clip of immigrant kids in cages, or the tiki torch march in Charlottesville, etc. Trump is not literally speaking during those events, it's cut to contrast events with his words or just his person.
Where's the outrage against Fake News Peddler Bernie Sanders? Why hasn't this misinformation been scrubbed from the Internet yet?
Hell, it's the format of most positive political ads too. Bernie Sanders is not literally standing in front of workers in a factory while giving that 10 seconds speech clip they keep cutting to.
If Twitter/YouTube took Trump's video down, they'd have to ban nearly every single political ad... wait. WTF I love censorship now!

To be totally fair to Brain "No-Balls" Stelter, he only hangs out with Democrats and RINOs--but I repeat myself-- so from his point of view he's seeing "both" sides of the aisle, and I'm willing to stake a very significant amount of money that both of those groups are going to bed at the end of this week particularly butt-blasted. I refuse to believe that Stelter has any regular contact with people like Mitch McConnell or Ted Cruz or Tucker Carlson, so he's not a part of the constant, ongoing party that's been rocking the Right side of the aisle this week.
He's just surrounded by a bunch of like-minded, miserable pricks who got their faces punched all week long.

I have TDS experience as well. And a bit of TES (Trump Enslavement Syndrome) too.
I'm in college, so naturally I have saw a fair bit of TDS right before the election. We had a mock election where students would vote for their candidate; Hillary won by I think 46%, Trump by 23%. Anyway, everybody was confident that Hillary would win. I remember seeing Trump won on the TV; my social media feed went crazy that night. The next day, the atmosphere was ... unsettling. The college was quiet during it; you could feel people's disappointments and somber attitude towards the result. My teacher didn't take it well; she was on the verge of tears.
That time too, I had a Trump supporting online friend. She was happy Trump won. I wasn't; we'd argue a bit about it regularly. Our school would have protests (DACA, Women's March) so I attended them. I wanted to feel like I was an activist, fighting against injustice. It was like that for a year or so, I would be in tone with CNN and such. I guess you could say I had TDS.
Over time, I realized that my liberal professors and friends would talk about Trump 24/7 or have news coverage about him plastered all over. It got nauseating; I couldn't keep up. I think the transgender movement was what got me thinking: maybe this is getting out of hand. I would ask one of my friends how they would feel about Trump. The answer would be "mein fuhrer", passionately too.
Mind you: I do not like Trump at all. I think he's a boisterous, egotistic, racist asshole (here comes the dumb ratings). BUT, the micro-analyzing of everything he does, which overshadows legitimate concerns about him (his environmental policies or lack thereof, promoting Ajit Pai which endangers our access to the Internet, preaching to be "America First" but her daughter has business involvements outside the country with her clothing lines, etc) is emotionally draining.
Now, with TES, it's mainly adults retorting the same talking points over and over again. I had one baby boomer rallying for Trump at her school (you know before election day, they have these stands where they say VOTE FOR X? I forgot what they're called.) Anyway, she was telling me how "Democrats hated America" and "90% of Blacks support Trump". Now, that last part DID NOT sound right at all. She was also a typical Facebook boomer who would share pro-Trump news and memes no matter how inaccurate they sounded.
I'm Black, so my perspective of TDS is slightly different based on experience. I don't like Trump, but the self righteous attitude of the Democratic Party and MSM had me take a step back and reevaluate how to properly debate politics. IMO, neither party has my best interests at heart as an African American. The Republicans like to use the "free-thinker" card about Black voters while the Democrats play the "muh diversity" card into overkill, it feels downright insulting. Both also like to play the revisionist history route about American history (Lincoln freeing the slaves, Republicans were pro-Black, Democrats are the real racists, socialism benefits everybody, Islam is a religion of peace), thinking I am ignorant to not do my own research.
It's to a point where should I even care anymore beyond my own interests. I personally believe Trump caused all this resentment and division towards the two parties. While it can be entertaining to see White people lose their shit knowing full well they are likely unaffected by Trump, it's scary with how unpredictable and unhinged Donald Trump is. If the American government knew how to regulate itself, we wouldn't even be in this situation.
I'm finished.

It's almost like treating groups of people as autonomous blocks that can be won over with a few virtue signalling acts (BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE LOWEST POINT IN US HISTORY!) or (IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW! for the hispanic vote) is transparent pandering, but how else do you gain the support of blocks of millions of people? You have countless propaganda arm trying to pull every group in, if you don't try yourself to pander to these groups, you might lose out.
All politicians are scum who view you as nothing more than a means to gain power. What do you or anyone else gain out of obsessing about and debating politics endlessly? They're just mouthpieces of millionaires and billionaires repeating their talking points.
Maybe there's someone behind the scenes promoting the left-right paradigm to keep us all distracted and infighting?

It's funny to think that if you strip the right wing label from Evola, his actual ideas are so bizarre and off the wall, I don't think they would register as offensive to most people.

Some 20-30yo white dude accelerated into a crowd of Trump volunteers with his car, before making obscene gestures and driving away. No injuries reported.

That car looks very easily identifiable.
Some of the comments are disgusting. Apparently crisis actors isn't just a right-wing conspiracy now it seems.

My experience with TDS and "TES" comes from my grandparents. One set has rabid TDS and it affects everything they do now, to the point of almost severing communication from my mother over politics. On the other side my grandmother has I guess "TES" but in reality its just her boomering and sharing/repeating stuff without checking it and falling for the whole agenda. However, I really wonder how much of it is "TES" considering she would be doing the same if it were Jeb, Romney or Rubio as president right now and not just "conservative boomer repeats republican talking points".
Also got called "complicit" in 2016 because I voted for "Where's Aleppo?" and not HER, so I'm an accomplice to Mega-Hitler already might as well go full Mega-Nazi and vote Trump 2020.

The Bernie-bro line on this was "They created more part-time jobs while laying off full-timers, creating more jobs on paper".

It doesn't even have the integrity of "she got raped because she was dressed like a slut" logic, it's "she got raped because she liked someone who dresses like a slut."
Nah. All these plucky heroes deplatforming, milkshaking, bullhorning, and disrupting the likes of Jordan PEterson have bravely stopped it. Their mispelt signs and caterwauling have bashed the fash, and have been heroically successful. Just ask them. These brave freedom fighters need medals, goddamn it, and some pink hair dye and a new bike lock.
No. You see, he's talking about the only two sides of the aisle that matter. The side of the news who lie, obfuscate, selectively report, pretend they are unbiased, and are absolutely owned by a group of elites with an agenda against Trump, and the other side, which do the sme thing to Trump in print.

I can't even tell if it's a genuine but laughably bad lefty meme, or a parody of lefty memes. What's that called again? Poe's Law? Knowing Whang, it could be either.

I have no idea what it's trying to mock either. It was found in a thread mocking a poorly-made Pro-Life meme. Make of it what you will.
Anyway, back to your regularly-scheduled TDS:
