Trump will probably be gone by next January. Fox News will continue to corrode this democracy like no other force ever has in our history. They are an existential threat of the highest order.
You are minimizing Fox’s history and impact. His legitimacy was irrelevant without thousands of segments about him from 2015 on, rebroadcast thru thousands of outlets. Murdoch has used this same playbook on 3 continents. Trump is a clown. Murdoch is a monster.

I wish Team Biden would get more strident with its ads. Something like:
If you honestly think the whole world is just persecuting Donald Trump for political purposes, please see your doctor immediately. You could be stupid.
The people like Taibbi who subscribe to the idea that “we need to hit rock bottom” before social change is possible, never seem to explain why that hasn’t happened in other countries that punched right through the floor a long time ago.
If you only give to one campaign this year, make it hers. We need this seat desperately. And we need to be rid of Rick Scott even more desperately. And that Medicare fraudster is vulnerable. He only beat Nelson by 10,000+ votes in 2019.

It was nice of MSNBC to demonstrate my theory of voices. No one person has cred or agency anymore. We need small groups of famous people speaking out in unison, capturing attention, explaining the issue, and linking out to explainers and remedies for this extremist virus eating our democracy.
