re: #120 HappyWarrior
Over the last 40+ years, Iāve watched the move on the right away from a belief in facts and reality to a belief in ideology/ies. Along the way, I noticed the role right-wing media has played in this transformation. As RW media spread and grew stronger, the size of the RW bubble became larger and more reinforced with RW beliefs. We now have millions of Americans who believe things that have no bases in facts or reality. Many on the right still believe there as been no economic recovery; the stock markets havenāt improved since 2009; Obamacare has death panels; and the U.S. is less well-regarded today than it was in 2009; and this president has totally ādestroyedā America, among other false things. Iāve reached the conclusion that those who believe these things want to believe them and have no desire to know the facts.
