    The GOP hates America so much. They spend their time on fake wars (xmas), stopping business branding (cracker barrel), whining about a pretend terrorist organization (ANTIFA), and claim they are victims and being cancelled. They hate America and are working hard to destroy the culture that the vast majority (75%) actually approve of. This is why religion is so toxic, it creates these monsters.

      The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the cult of tradition.

      Eco goes on to explain that this “tradition” is, by necessity, syncretistic rather than truly traditional. It is a new culture built on cherry-picked, rose-tinted, imaginary pasts, not reality. This is why “culture wars” are such a focus for fascists, everything else springs forth from this first step.

      These monsters weren’t created by religion. They just use it as a convenient excuse.

      Personality disorders created these monsters.

    The irony of this is I wouldn’t give a shit if Jimmy kimmel or the view were cancelled for pretty much any other reason. My dislike for authoritarianism is stronger than my apathy about either of these shows I guess.

    It will never stop. After The View, they’ll go after another target. Networks should give up on trying to appease the FCC, and just appease their audiences instead.

    Ironic since the “liberal media” is what gave a huge assist in getting us here. Taco’s brand and name awareness went way up by handing him that ridiculous game show, for one thing.

    Then the media did absolutely sweet fuckall in properly vetting this asshole when he was running in 2015 and 2016 - giving him billions in free air time, and doing nothing to explain to the American people just what a fraud all of his image as a “businessman” was.

    Them pointing the camera at an empty podium for him to arrive at or waiting for his stupid jet to show up tells you so much about how they completely abnegated any responsibility at all in doing their function as the Fourth Estate. Playing the “objective” card and the “neutral” card, because, well, “both sides”.
