I wonder. A large part of the population has shown that it is willing
to sell its soul to a demagogue wannabe dictator; this attitude once it
arises has shown remarkable resistance to fadeaway. It is clear now, to
the ones who want to exploit this urge, that himbo was not the man for
the job. A sane demagogue is needed. What the willing crowd has
learned is that it couldn't trust certain rightie information sources if
anything, perhaps nothing. It already doesn't trust nbc, cbs, abc, cnn,
etc.
I suspect that the most likely thing is that a new demagogue will appear
with new fawning newsguys. And this time the effort will succeed.
Sometime in the next hundred years.
Fox might end up paying a huge settlement with dominion. This was not
supposed to happen. Himbo was supposed to remain in office one way or
the other, in which case there would be no consequences to the
mouthpieces. Next time the exploiters will be more careful.
It is not simply a matter of right wing ideology. The willing actually
don't care much for ideology. The realization that they were mislead
will not inspire any to become d's or anything else. They will remain
fertile ground waiting for the next plow. You would be amazed at how
much betrayal can be forgotten in 30 years.
