Or am I just "whooshing" here and that was a reference to the neoliberal wing who's idea it was and how they'd rather have trump than anyone like Obama again?

They'd rather have any white male rather than any woman or anyone else of color. But after all the investment and effort in Trump, no point trying to put someone else in the seat so they stuck with him.

It has absolutely nothing with Obama.

1996 (early): Clinton gets rid of the regulation that was requiring the media to not just blatantly lie. (A cynic would say so billionaire owned media could shit on progressives and say neoliberalism is working)

1996 (October): Faux goes on air.

2001: Bill leaves office, GW enters.

Then 9/11 which is what Faux used to radicalize their voters, and they had 7 years to do so.

We could have elected the ghost of Ronald Reagan in 08 and they'd have gotten the same results as Obama from Faux News.

Don't blame Obama for being Black

Blame the administration that literally de-regulated the media, if it wasnt for Bill Clinton, how they treated Obama legally couldn't have happened*

I feel like I'm just repeating the same thing, but it is important we understand how we got here.

So fuck it, I'll keep repeating this for whoever asks, as many times as necessary

And ignoring why they got the megaphone to say it on cable news?

Faux News legally couldn't exist until neoliberals removed fair broadcast regulations...

Because that was the only way to convince people neoliberalism was working.

We had laws against propaganda until neoliberals got rid of them

Now you want to blame anyone except the people who made that propaganda legal.

This is like if I gave a baby a gun, the baby shot you, and then you listened to me when I told you the baby was the problem.

Instead of questioning why we gave a baby a gun, it even addressing the problem that I'm still giving baby's guns...

You realize we could have fixed this when Biden had the House and Senate...

Or when Obama had the House and Senate...

Are you waiting for Republicans to reinstate the regulations against propaganda?

Neoli erals won't fix this, republicans won't fix this, can you guess who that leaves?
