5. it took 40 years of brainwashing while the rest of the country didn't put any warning labels on it.

we really missed the boat on countering hate radio and foxnews.

they *always* should have been marginalized as the lunatic fringe from the get-go.

instead, the msm let foxnews get away with the image of being an actual news source, instead of a propaganda network or politically biased, topical entertainment source. so people watching it didn't realize just how insanely biased it is.

worse, they let foxnews set the agenda for the msm, which for some inexplicable reason decided they needed to cover the same stories, even if they were completely fabricated nonsense pseudo-scandals about democrats dreamt up in republicans fantasies.


and we end up letting a mentally defective, evil, incompetent, virtual (if not actual) russian agent who couldn't come close to being granted a security clearance because he's such a ridiculously obvious national security disaster become president because *hillary* was widely perceived to be a national security risk because her sysadmin forgot to do a couple windows updates.
