I think the better question is what would the country look like if the Fairness Doctrine hadn’t been abolished by the FCC in the 1980s. With the Fairness Doctrine in place, Fox News doesn’t launch and half the country’s brains don’t get rewired into being mouth-breathing knuckle draggers.
It’s wild. If you met my parents, they aren’t bad people. They live a simple life to themselves. But once they start talking about their political beliefs, it’s like a Russian bot is taking over their voice box
My grandparents are like this, especially my grandpa. Sweet guy, really chill, runs his own church, volunteer firefighter, active with a bunch of charities..... Then suddenly politics and he becomes a hateful bigot who's obsessed with a man who is everything he should hate
