I have made it a point to listen to some am radio every day for the last 45 years. I have watched good radio stations destroyed and rebuild with the pure garbage on today. I loved talk radio when everyone could call in , discuss local or national issues and the host was usually neutral... maybe slightly left or right but everyone got to speak and was not ridiculed. I also remember about this time the order was put out in the evangelical churches to get on every local board they could to be able to be involved in the direction the community was taking. School boards, Planning & Zoning, any board at all and work up to local& state government... This approach worked and that is how the extremes started to take hold little by little in the modern republican party. I hope more than anything that Trump can be the straw that can break this horribly distorted Elephant's back.
