    Default Are Republican backers naive?

    Now that the Republican party doesn't even pretend not to be fascist!
    We have to ask ourselves have Republican voters buried their heads in the sand?
    Or have they embraced fascism too?
    If so then to return America to the vision of the Founding Fathers,Revolution in one form or another is in order.
    AM I, I AM's,AM I.

    Hmmm, interesting. Any forms that would not be acceptable?

    a common term is 'willful ignorance'

    and they're supercharged zealots, much like ISIS or the Taiban

    they are spoon fed lies by Fox "news" for decades now


    Fox "news" is propaganda

    that is why the republicans killed the fairness doctrine


    so they could start a propaganda station that could help them with their election cheating

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine


    The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.[1]
    The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been considered by some to be a contributing factor for the rising level of party polarization in the United States.[2][3]
    The main agenda for the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the fairness doctrine where channels were limited. But the courts did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so.[4] The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the doctrine.

    Now that we've finally elected leaders who know what's good for America, we need to get out of the way and let them do their job.

    It would be interesting to get your definition of fascism AND communism, and your take on what the founders had in mind when they fought that original revolution(and also a list of those recreational pharmaceuticals you seem to be enjoying)
    “The Communist party must control the guns.”
    ― Mao Tse-tung



    “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”-Generally attributed to Uncle Joe Stalin



    “Everything under heaven is in utter choas; the situation is excellent.”
    ― mao tse-tung
