In reply to the discussion: THOMAS FRANK ON HOW DEMOCRATS WENT FROM BEING THE ‘PARTY OF THE PEOPLE’ TO THE PARTY OF RICH ELITES [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)he's doing what anyone can do - write and talk about the symptoms and results of ignoring 1200 think tank coordinated radio stations while it pushed the country right 20 points and the left committed the biggest political mistake in history by giving it a free speech free ride. - why the fuck else is trump 'acceptable'? - political cycles? money in politics? strategy by authoritarians who provided strategies to satisfy blue dogs and corporations? all pushed by republicans, with remedies suggested by democrats obstructed by republicans enabled by well coordinated minority made-to-order teabag dittohead constituencies
it's like my mother telling me its the overpopulation - sure, what about all the things we could have done to help educate women and make contraception available?
at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 1200 stations, rw talk radio is worth 4.68 BIL$/ year or 390MIL$ /month FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican wall st think tank propaganda, free market deregulation bullshit, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.
