I'm Scared- NPR seems all pro Trump now. Like Twighlight Zone! [View all]

I listen to NPR a lot driving around when I'm working. It has been a lifesaver for me listening to things like all things considered especially. Today I was listening to it and they were interviewing all these pro Trump people at the inauguration and they were also full of shit! But nobody was questioning anything they said. If this can happen in 24 hours what's going to happen next. I haven't been on here in a while but I'm here I guess because it feels like it might be safe.
