When do the protests outside your local Hate Radio station begin?

These 1,200 - 1,500 Reich Wing stations broadcasting nothing but dehumanization of Democrats, progressives, liberals, women and minorities 24/7 are responsible for rapey Brett and Donnie Fungus Dick.

They operate freely in office space and studios in cities that went 75-25 for Democrats. These cities overwhelming majority are progressive and liberal.

Many make millions of dollars broadcasting major sports for universities for 3 hours a weekend and spew nothing but toxic bile during the other 165 hours of their broadcasting week...

And yet...they face no consequences from the very people they demonize Folks that work at these stations and local and national businesses that advertise on these stations, ought to be facing an angry screaming gauntlet of protesters every day.

The First Amendment only protects people from the government taking action against them. It doesn't say a goddamn thing about douche cannon hate radio stations being held to account by people for their actions.

But the difference is that both sides do it (see: Trump fans destroying . Here, only one side would do it, and I fear that if we went after radio stations for expressing their first amendment rights, the GOP would see it as we are literally attacking free speech and it would be a campaign ender no matter who you are.
