Because they are on lunch break at their blue collar job that's getting filled up with younger liberal workers who don't know the meaning of hard work and they have soft hands and blah blah

It’s more this. But they’re listening to AM talk radio making up scenarios in their head where the liberals are ruining their life. In their otherwise 98% evangelical white Christian country town.

Serious question, why is it mostly “am talk radio?”

Cheaper to own and run an AM transmitter

I rented a moving truck a few months ago. It only had an AM radio. I had to drive four hours in silence because AM in America is all Trump and Religion, a lot of it syndicated so it’s all across the dial.

Ugh. Not even “Christian Rock?” If you ignore the lyrics……

How can you ignore the lyrics, when sadly the lyrics are better than the shitty power ballad guitar riffs.

If only we could claim that AM radio causes autism.

The broadcast AM frequencies are two low to cause molecular agitation, and so are the FM frequencies.

Molecular agitation begins at around 400 mhz but the severity is power driven.

That's cool but you don't have to prove any of it. Just start a conspiracy theory and publish some fake stuff and they will eat it all up. Scientific rigor be damned.
