The attempted insurrection on January 6 would never have happened without right-wing media.

Tens of millions of Americans would not believe the lie that the election was stolen without right-wing media. They wouldn’t be living in an alternative-facts universe altogether without right-wing propaganda.

126 House Republicans wouldn’t have signed onto a brief supporting Texas’ lawsuit asking the Supreme Court to overturn the results of the 2020 election if their base hadn’t been whipped into a frenzy by right-wing propaganda.

There wouldn’t have been nearly so much support for state legislatures overturning election results if it weren’t for right-wing propagand.

donald trump would never even have been president without right-wing propaganda, and a couple hundred thousand fewer Americans would be dead right now.

donald trump is obviously a moron and a buffoon and entirely incompetent. And that’s why, despite the support of right-wing media, he wasn’t able to complete his attempts to subvert our system of checks and balances to the degree that he was able to steal this election, despite his best efforts.

But the next demagogue or the one after that might not be such an idiot. And, with the help of right-wing propaganda, demagogue with fascist desires who is more intelligent, competent, and charismatic than trump has a real shot at turning our country into what trump tried to turn it into.

If you still can’t see that right-wing media are destroying our country, you’re either a victim of right-wing propaganda, or you’re just not paying attention.
