It’s been said many times before, but it’s worth repeating: Trump’s the symptom, not the cause.

I think it’s clear at this point that the Republican party has been working with Right Wing media and other organizations since the fallout from Watergate. The Federalist Society literally exists to create more conservative judges and hands Republican Presidents lists of their approved judges for federal judge appointments. Fox News, am talk radio like Rush Limbaugh, and now News Max and the Wallstreet Journal became the propaganda arm of the GOP. It will not stop until we reinstitute things like the fairness doctrine in media organizations and stop allowing entertainment channels to call themselves News channels.

“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

-David Frum

It didn’t start with Trump and certainly won’t end with him.
