21. need offense. protest the 88 universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations

that's 40%+ of 600 limbaugh stations - he leads the lying on 1500 radio stations and his are many of the loudest in the country. protests there will get a lot more attention than at capitols and will be directed directly at the swiftboaters.

limbaugh recently created a silly context for repeating "take her out" while attacking AOC as a communist, marxist, stalinist

none of the 88+ universities that broadcast sports on those stations have any excuse not to start looking for apolitical alternatives. they need to be asked what they would do if the stations were bought by the KKK, trump, putin, and the nra - they basically were. they all deny global warming.

the 20-1 talk radio monopoly swiftboat machine is the most effective at selling the lies and making the threats - because it's unchallenged. challenging it will freak the cons out. protests at those unis for that purpose will get media attention.

and AI makes it a lot easier to destroy it now - as soon as the advertising industry finds out how easy and cheap it is to transcribe spoken word, list advertisers, and associate them with content, advertisers will be much more selective
