In reply to the discussion: I believe that Democrats/Liberals/Progressives need to face the absolute fact [View all]robbob
(3,546 posts)25. This was the allure, and indeed the very business model
upon which Rush Limbaugh and RW hate radio built their empires. People would tune in on their way to and from work and get all riled up over the outrage of the day. Heck; how many of us come to DU every day to see the latest stupid thing tRump has spewed? I know Im guilty in part
and yes, I realize theres a big difference deference between made up nonsense like the war on Christmas and drag queens coming for your children and a fascist menace who wants to lock up his political foes but guess what? Your endorphins dont care! Just your logical brain, and Im afraid many RW-ers are sorely lacking in that department

I think it has a lot to do with hatred of "Liberals and Elite" because they think we think they are stupid

I can verify that as fact. My family is full of them. Misogynists and white supremacists.

TSF and supporters all hate the same people. That was pretty clear since TSF never offered much in policy. nt

As I say frequently to anyone who will listen, we have GOT to speak up and often.
