Serious Question

If Red State voters feel the pain they're going to with the "Big Beautiful Turd of a Bill", will they still find some excuse to vote for their Republican Representatives and Senators in the 2026 mid-terms? My guess is yes due to The Faux News Propaganda Channel, the Trump ass kissing of most corporate media, and 10/1 rightwing to liberal radio options.

This poses a greater question: how do we liberate people from rightwing media?

Remember when they used to rail against the “Liberal Media”. Of course it was all bullshit but they eventally created Fox News to catapult the propaganda. I remember when Fox used to claim “fair and balanced,” and it caught the mainsteam off guard and they tacked right before they started to realized that it was just a firehose of propagada.

We are in a new media age now and we are all members of the new left wing media.

We remove right wing media.

They will find something else to believe, of course, but the fact that these idiots have not been presented as 'fake entertainers' every time they do anything is beyond me. There should be a disclaimer in front of each episode that explains that what is being presented is for entertainment and is not real or coherent.

But, they won't.
