They will go as far as it takes.

I have to admit, though, I didn't believe what I just wrote...until now.

The question is whether we allow Fox News to dominate the conversation. It is not the only game in town. It speaks to people whose minds will never be changed. We need to shift focus from what Fox News is doing and to what we can do to speak to the rest of the people, I think.

I mean, I am somewhat active in our INDIVISIBLE group, I email, make some calls, got FOX turned off in the local gym... donated a little where I could...

That's it. At the moment, consider contacting your local Democratic Party organization and ask how you can help right now. They will have plenty of ideas for you.

As far as Indivisible goes, they will be useful only insofar as they help to elect Democrats. If they act against Democratic candidates, though, they might as well be Republicans. Regardless of the race, either the Democrat or the Republican will win. It will be a binary choice. If you don't help the Democrat, you'll help the Republican.

Surely we learned something from 2016, right?

Even when we say it that helps them with their base, they can point to us and say "see the nasty liberals hate us". Maybe we should just start calling them state sponsored news instead of Fox maybe that would be more accurate.

They're beyond our influence. They're the 30+% that make up the core of the far right. They will never change. We need to promote other news sources to the rest of the population, frankly.

Fox News and the idiots who watch only Fox News are completely lost causes.
