News is such a confused industry. In order for it to be successful, it needs the majority of people to find value in the news that it produces. Most people are not old, wealthy, straight, white, men, but most news stories are framed from that perspective, even when the framing is false and easily debunkable.
Most news rooms don't look anything close to the people that they need to buy their papers to have a sustainable business.
"Trumpism is emptying churches. The former president’s embrace of White Christian militantism coincides with a precipitous decline in religious affiliation in the US. …
In effect, militant Christian conservatism, now tightly wrapped in the gaudy corruption of Trumpism, has produced a backlash."
This happens regularly with bills introduced by #Tennessee's legislature full of #Republican dildos. Untold millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent losing the inevitable lawsuits. (These clowns have tried multiple times to pass a law that would make the Bible the official state book!)
Sen. Mitch #McConnell’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil.
@GottaLaff How his legacy is written may depend upon who is writing the history. If the #Christofascists get full control, which I am not at all sure will not happen, he may well appear in a Riefenstahlian documentary as a early hero of the Reich.
Let's hope there is a massive voter turnout in the fall. Even then, the already #Fascist controlled states may perfect the coup attempted last time around, as Hartmann has described.
