An encounter with a Trump supporter

[PJMcK]

76. I don't disagree with anything you wrote

The point of my story was simply the curiousness of the encounter and the realization that most of self-identified Republicans, (they are NOT Conservatives, (read William F. Buckley, Jr.'s works to clearly understand Conservativism)), have a detached experience of Reality.

You're right on point that Trump spouts whatever nonsense he hears from Limbaugh, Fox & Friends or any other right-wing outlet.

I've worked in radio, music, records, theater, TV and films for more than 40 years. All of the distribution points of most media are owned and controlled by large corporations that tend to be conservative. While these corporations want to avoid controversies, (they hurt sales), they have a fine sense of the pulse-points of their audiences. The content is dictated by the audiences' tastes.

Face it, most liberals don't spend their days listening to the radio or watching TV. Oddly, Republicans seem to do so. Why is that?

Anyway, the attempts to counter right-wing broadcasters has a meager history. For example, Air American failed. MSNBC has rarely had the viewership that Fox News has enjoyed. Again, why is that?

Lastly, I do not engage in arguments with Republican Trump supporters. It's a waste of time and my blood pressure is high enough.
