most republican politicians are very dependent on democrats continuing to ignore talk radio, which is now VERY vulnerable to destruction thanks to artificial intelligence making it fast easy and cheap to digitize.

talk radio is the only unique advantage republicans have and democrats let them have it.

advertisers can be listed with little listening required. once it starts - and anyone anywhere can do it over the internet - the ad industry will have to start asking clients if they really want to support trump/mcconnel/global warming denial/racism/putin/war with iran/public school defunding etc. instead of being able to bundle them on at discounts just to reach all those ears waiting for traffic reports, weather, sports, news, etc. on those megastations.

they'll lose a lot of advertisers and the ad agencies will force many of those stations to offer balance or change programming.

without that talk radio advantage the trump GOP is fucked
