and that's the short version

his genius is/was lying and rationalizing with royal i'm never wrong certitude that he could maintain because his call screeners hardly ever let anyone sneak in to challenge that certitude, while arranging paid callers from US and probably foreign think tanks and because he was basically invisible to those he attacked and lied about and they ignored him

and he's on 600 stations and all the talkers on those and about 1000 other stations had to follow his lead or get fired because his listeners could never get through to kiss his ring so they called the local shows to police them

this guy is ignorant and a liar and hater who used the biggest bully pulpit in the country to undermine democracy, move national wealth to billionaires, pollute the national discourse, and get people sick and killed

if republicans paid $1000/hr for political radio ads 15hrs/day, 1200 stations following limbaugh's lead would be worth about $5BIL/year FREE paid for by idiot and asshole advertisers

30 years of that was worth trillions in global warming, war, deregulation, voter suppression, crappy judges, and so on

at what point.... never mind
