We have to remember that the 30 percent or so of people who will follow the orange one all the way
to hell with no questions are very very scary people. They are armed, they are by and large men and very angry. They are bullies and easily led by another bully. I expect problems at most polling places in November, I expect violence after the election when he loses. We will have 2 to 3 months of fury to deal with between the election results and January 20, 2021.
We have allowed these terrorist organizations to thrive, through facebook, twitter and instagram. We have done nothing to control social media and it must be done NOW. We watched them use social media and "private facebook pages" to recruit and spew hatred of everyone who disagreed with their position.
We must do something soon to put controls on social media since they don't seem willing to do it. Reddit is a problem as well. All of the violent fascist organizations use these tools to spread their hatred and get their people up and ready to fight.
Fox news is a problem I'm not sure how to fix, but we need to go back to the rules that were in place pre-reagan as a start. No one group or company should be able to own more than 6 stations, and no more than one in any market. That takes care of the Sinclair issue. We also need rules regarding foreign ownership of any media outlet in the US.
I know this is a bit rambling but my mind is fried after last night and I have a hangover, something I haven't had in years.

is largely responsible for the rise of these gangs of callous sociopaths IMO. Other countries have RW extremists but they aren't heavily armed and dangerous; the guns make U.S. extremists feel superior and fearless. I don't think this is what the 2nd Amendment Constitutional guarantee was intended for but is another dangerous unintended consequence. And the fearless supremacist mindset has indeed spread over the Internet and by RW media.
