This whole cycle is giving me huge 2016 flashbacks.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 99 points 2 months ago (5 children)

The race is significantly tighter than in 2016, at least per the polling. Mostly, people are excited because its such a vast improvement from the Biden polls that had Trump winning in a landslide.

But folks on Lemmy don't realize how hard-in-the-paint rightwing talk radio is currently going for Trump. The degree to which "Haitian migrants eating your dog!" and "Venezuelan terrorists have seized a condo in Colorado!" rhetoric has inundated the discourse can't be overstated. People are taking this shit seriously and sincerely thanks to the breathless bombardment of migrant panic stories crashing over the news networks like a tsunami.

If I didn't know better, I might suspect there's a collaboration among arch-conservative megadonors and media organizations to saturate news networks with this fearmongering. I can't think of any instance in which a news network spewing anti-immigrant sentiment to whip locals into a panicked frenzy has ever happened before, or what the consequences were, but I'm sure that's not what is happening this time and even if it is everything will be fine.

Thank the deregulation of the 80's and 90's, coupled with the internet making it easier than ever to access anything and everything.

It used to be that spreading falsehoods or political bias on network TV or the airwaves via radio could get your station's license revoked by the FCC. But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, and with that out of the way, there were no barriers for Rush Limbaugh and similar ilk to make more money by saying whatever kept the hyper-conservative, over-religious pearl clutches tuning in.

Fuck, why is it that almost everything that is bad in the US can be traced back to Reagan. It’s unbelievable
