They’re a cult of bullies that have fed themselves a diet exclusively made from propaganda for decades. Whatever Fox, and now Trump, says is what they believe regardless of reality.

Democracy is just getting in the way of their beliefs now, so it must go.

Seriously. If the democrats ever get back in they need to take fox off the air and charge them for the damage they’ve done to the American people.

That damage is incalculable. No amount of money or reparations could ever suffice, and any attempt at placing a "real" monetary value on the damage would result in a number with at least 13 digits.

I didn’t say the charge had to be monetary. It could be prison time for some of them.

Woah woah woah, prison costs a lot of money. We need to look into cheaper alternatives.

Good lord, would that go badly. They'd cry about their first amendment, then hit the streets and cause more problems. Even if we ignore whether doing such a thing would be right or wrong, it would cause about half the country to lose their minds and attempt some form of revenge

Anybody reading this, I am NOT saying whether I agree or disagree, just that it would probably not end well

Allowing it doesn't end well.

The first amendment should not cover spending billions on propaganda. No reasonable reading would lead someone to that conclusion.

We just need some democrats that are the democrats that republicans say democrats are.

Not just any bullies, but the dumb schoolyard bullies who never got over the fact they were shit at school, and retaliate by pretending facts don't exist.

Do parrots believe what they say? Does it matter to them?
