General Discussion

the evil has been so persuasive that it has anesthetized the more ignorant masses, thoroughly turning them against Democracy and democratic institutions. And the evil lies Murdoch has been spreading in the minds of 10s of millions of our citizens is made worse, made more destructive and effective by Murdoch's de facto alliance with Putin and his clones.

What the Democrats need to do is somehow counter the leprous propaganda on the MAGA Right with Good Propaganda,
propaganda that rebuild the public's confidence in the institutions of freedom and decency with truth. This is not going to happen as long as our journalists try to normalize the fascist craziness that Trump and his cohorts represent.

But "Good Propaganda" involves identifying evil for what it is, in identifying MAGA, the single most divisive force in America, for what it is, and for identifying Trump as its principal leader, as an admirer of dictatorships, as a failed businessman, felon, and sexual abuser who scorns the very notion that America is/was a nation of laws, not men.

Dammit, we need journalists to go after the bastards every day -- and a media that gives them the ability to do just that.
