(17,452 posts)And sometimes I use Boatswain's Mate language.
I am also not advocating "head in the sand" shutting off the world.
I am frustrated by the Dems lack of fight and complacency.
I began warning over 20 years ago about hate radio. I saw it turn my brother from a sane Union family Democrat into a right-wing Rushbot in less than a year.
I have been stationed all over this country. Do you know that in deep blue California on the drive from Lemoore in the central valley to San Diego, there are spots where EVERY AM station you can tune in has Limbaugh and Hannity spewing their racist antidemocratic hate-filled propaganda?
Blue cities that went 70-30 in favor of Hillary have nothing but hate-filled Retrumplican propaganda on their most powerful and influential radio stations. Why do we sit back and allow that?
Universities that are supposed to be bastions of critical thinking and learning broadcast their overly African American athletes sports on stations that spend the other 165 hours a week broadcasting racism hatred and anti-intellectualism.
Sorry if my language sometimes offends. I'm more offended by the lack of fight.
