most of the egs above and below are examples of criticism of repub racists, misogynists, idiots or

their hypocritical takes on patriotism, etc., that get plucked out of the news, whether national or obscure, and then it gets repeated all day as egs of 'political correctness' or 'cancel culture' by 1500 radio stations until when it's repeated on fox or now, all over social media, turning molehills into mountains. and mountains into molehills.

way too much 'public consensus' has been created like that the last 30 years, instead of just discussing it and progressing through it. for 30 years 1500 coordinated radio stations have been creating 'public concensus' and politicians like manchin and sinema are intimidated or enabled to be republican because democrats don't know to point out those constituencies they're responding to largely came out of limbaughs ass

advertisers left because limbaugh and sons could scream for days or weeks from 1500 radio stations without challenge. RW outrage was echoed until advertisers left.

joe scarboprough just went on an epic full out screaming rant criticizing trump politicians like cruz, hawley, for coddling terrorists and traitors. it might get some twitter repeats but will mostly be forgotten tomorrow. that's what limbaugh has been doing for 30 years from 600 of the loudest radio stations in the country, over and over and over, and he can lie, distort, exaggerate, and be racist as kkk until the duke of dittohead leads a dittohead army to attack the capitol.

limbaugh and sons and fox are the real PC cops - and the politicians who are are afraid of trump supporters, who, like the teabags, are nothing more than dittoheads
