I Do Not Know How We Survive So Many Absolutely Dangerous Hateful People In RW Media.

We seem to be drowning in an ocean of alternative facts, fake news, hatred, racism, homophobia, verbal trash coming from the RW media. And we have the same omit coming from all sorts of GOPPERS, candidates, GOP citizens, and other miscreants. This sludge is all over the media and all over the nation.

Our political environment and debate has turned into a rotten food fight or road kill mash. And you cannot seem to get away from statements that should never see the light of day. And the perpetrators seem to have little real kick back.

I am 74 and remember a time that it was not this bad. In fact during my youth the bad stuff was practically civil compared to today. From my view the news and banter seems to get worse and more unreal and distasteful even day.

And were are not even close to the election yet.

where they say Liberals are the hateful ones, and I just don't understand how they come to that. It's ludicrous.

I really think everything started to go awry with the advent of the Fox News aberration. They established a dividing line and created the "us" vs "them" game plan that focus on hatred and fear, bigotry and suspicion to dismantle the norms of our society.

They've been at it for a generation now, and their destructive propaganda is baked into the Republican psyche so it is an established part of our culture that will not go away. We can only hope that in time, maybe the hardcore Fox fans will die off or disappear by attrition or natural selection.
