re: #483 Nyet

The fucking reason this happened (I grew up in an Amway house, raised by wingnut evangelicals, I saw this stuff as a kid. Hell, we had meetings in my house to discuss this very damned thing) is because liberals didn’t take these assholes seriously. There was no push back at all. Meanwhile, conservatives began efforts to take over everything with political power at the local and state levels all over the country. From school boards to city councils to mayors and state level representatives. Hell, they even worked on getting themselves into Home Owner Associations and every business or trade association they could get into and run. They organized and raised a shit ton of money while they played on the fears of the middle class. And it worked.

And now we see what close to 40 plus years of this shit has done to the country. Letting them have it all is not going to fix a fucking thing. Jesus. It’s bad enough they managed to sell the idea that those who hate the government can run it best, how is letting them burn the rest of it down at all helpful? I get SO SICK of this backwardass spiteful argument. It’s stupid.

I had a chance a few years ago to ask a question of George Soros at an online Q&A event. My question was why were there no liberal media owners like Rupert Murdoch and others like him with super conservative views, and would he be willing to help raise the funds and help organize other wealthy liberals to create something as successful as FOX, to counter the bullshit. His answer? 1) No one would watch it and it was a bad investment and 2) The fight was lost already. I left after that. This lack of fight and the attitude of it won’t ever get that bad is why we’ve lost so much ground. I have never understood this at all, ever. These people have now had 4 decades to grow and expand and take over nearly all media, they’ve gutted investigative journalism and effectively brainwashed half the country. I’m not sure how we can recover from that, but it sure as hell won’t happen without investment and lots, I MEAN LOTS of organization and money from the top down and the bottom up.
