In reply to the discussion: 'It's a farce': Dems livid as Hope Hicks dodges questions [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)pack of dittoheads following 300 coordinated ignorant racist bleating blowhards on the radio and some fox blockheads doing the cartoon cliff notes version, with some kremlin trolls piggybacking the whole thing. most of the 'base' is a large swath of too-busy, lazy, apathetic, and ignorant americans who absorb that ubiquitous buzz from the radio while trying to get a traffic or weather or news report, or from their coworker, bar friend, or maga uncle/father/grandfather.
the tragic part is the only reason the right can convince media, analysts, and dem politicians that the paper tiger is fearsome is the left/dems/liberals continue to ignore rw talk radio, the only medium capable of the unchallenged repetition needed to establish that alternate reality buzz over 40 states with 80 senators.
the majority of the 'base' will fall apart when democrats start protesting/boycotting those stations, which are the closest thing to a local republican power center, and protesting the 88 universities that support 260 limbaugh stations.
i imagine though that dems will just continue to ignore talk radio and call their reps cowards while letting the local chickenhawks take free potshots at them all day and lie us into another war.
or maybe we'll get lucky and talk radio will get noticed when we find out one of the mueller spinoffs is about long term russian use of talk radio going back to using limbaugh to push palin on mcain, using limbaugh and wikileaks to sell 'climategate', use limbaugh to create the tea party, push debt default, etc. or something.
