So while the Progressives and Democrats rail against him continuously-- there's an op ed at least twice a week in the Arizona Republic slamming him-- he'll easily be reelected. That's how little the NYT has on the pulse of America...
Oh, just to be clear, I think Biggs is something of an idiot and many of his positions are borderline crazy but he's not my Representative so that doesn't matter come election time.
You know it's just this idea that main stream media has become 'too liberal' that seeds the disconnect between the right and the MSM.
That's the first step.
The second one is simply disbelieving what is reported.
The third step is calling the MSM 'the enemy of the people.'
And finally, the full trip is when people begin to use only far right media sources. Then they are hopelessly out of touch with reality and able to think that Trump was actually on their side, and nonsense like the election was 'stolen.'
This process is how the right is losing touch with reality.
The right better move back toward the center or liberals are going to be running everything.
Not that that would be such a bad thing but I think we are better off with some balance.
