The Republicans have done a great job of taking over AM radio and cable TV.

Every 20 Khz on the AM dial is another well funded right wing nut ranting all day and all night about the evils of socialism, Democrats, Biden, and baying at the moon when they run out of nasty talk.

The Democrats slept while all of this happened.

AM radio is still a main information source for farmers working in fields with radios inside the tractors blaring away.

Well-put, Mike.

Yes, we could say Dems "slept."

Or that they simply found it convenient to go along with the various post-Powell memo plans for all to dehumanize, become silo-set, neutered, all in order to steroid the rich, as Jane Mayer documents in "Dark Money" and Sheldon Whitehouse in "The Scheme."

Phil, I think it is some of both. Some agree with the Powell memo, and some are just asleep, believing the tooth fairy will come and put their results under their pillow.

If you have Sirius XM radio, have you tuned in to channel 127? It's Sirius XM Progress. Talking heads are Tom Hartmann and John Huegelsen plus many others. John Huegelsen is very smart and a great spokesperson for progressives.
