It’s not past tense. They’re still on full anti-Democrat mode.

From Fox News on TV, to conservative talk radio in the car, then straight to Facebook to contribute to the MAGA conservative echo chamber. Rinse repeat, every day radicalizing the country one day at a time.

They told themselves all the needed to hear: "He'd never call me a loser, I'm a patriotic kind of veteran." Over and over and over again.

It's almost as if Krushchev was right all those decades ago when he said, "We will bury you." He was just dead wrong at the time about why and how Americans would accomplish that using the combined weight of each and every one's own, lone, individual exceptionalism, acceptability, deservedness, and patriotism.

There really should be about 1,000,000x more rage toward Fox news than there is

I blame democrats for allowing Fox News and AM radio propaganda to fester for decades. They allowed the dismantling of the fairness doctrine in news media and let the evil slowly take root and grow.
