The other day I was speechless when I heard a coworker and the African-American deliveryman she was talking to say they were both fans of Limbaugh. One of those Chickens for Colonel Sanders moments.
But I suspect in general the audience for Limbaugh and his ilk is shrinking. It's not that demagogues are going to go away. In fact, we could see worse. But I don't think the general trend is towards Limbaugh fans. More than half the country is female, so that limits his audience. Secondly, Hispanics make up a growing percentage of young families, and that ought to make a difference. Thirdly, there are the millennials who were brought up with more progressive attitudes.
I hope it all adds up to send Limbaugh into obscurity.
