Amen, JR. That so many people were so easily swayed, tells me that it didn't take much to 'sway' them. And of course, Rupert's Fox entertainment 'news' deftly prepared the way.

Although I have been a Dem for well over forty years, it must said that the Dems, especially the DNC, the DCCC and the DLC (ended in 2011) from 1985 to 2011 to the present have done less than nothing to counter the Repub strategies.

Speaking, TC Mills, about Rupert's impact, I was heartened to read Margaret Sullivan's column yesterday in the Post about the Handbook on how to Protect Democracy, an excellent Guide, but should have been available when Trump came down the golden escalator in 2015, imho!

If you understand history, it was pretty obvious from the get go. But trump loves the uneducated.
