Literally nothing is real in the cult. RW media observation.

I tune in to talk radio. It’s always been a cult like world where EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU …except us - WE know the truth.

During the Debt Ceiling back and forth RW listeners were told/asked:
They SAY it will ruin the economy
Is it really that bad?
The supposed catastrophe (often with sarcastic laughter)…

Nothing is real. Nothing. If the “liberal media” said the sun rises in the east, talk radio would question it.

They are completely in another world.

4. The first 10 minutes of Hannity's radio show needs a decoder ring

I haven’t listened in to his show in a while. It’s on tape delay locally so I’m not in the car. It would take the uninitiated a few days to figure out his opening rant filled with references, inside “jokes”, and their dogma.

9. Hate Radio is nothing but the literary equivalent of mutual masturbation

It's "debate" on the 3RD Grade level of "I know you are, but what am I".

Hannity is a textbook example of the "exactly when did you stop beating your wife?" debate style.

I hoped that when that fuckstick Nazi Rush was turned into maggot feed, the impact of millions of people stuck in their cars with nothing else to listen but flaming bullshit would die the painful death it deserved. It hasn't. Crack is less addictive than getting your ego stroked 24/7.

We allowed this shit. Universities, the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL have their games broadcast on radio stations that provide nothing but racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy for them other 165 hours of broadcast time each week. "Woke" businesses, both national and local, advertised on these hate-filled cesspools for decades.

Hate Radio, and the businesses that have funded it, have fucked this country worse than in Osama Bin Laden's fevered dreams.

There are a thousand of these nazi radio stations broadcasting in every nook and cranny in this country.

Just 100 less stations would likely equate to 30-40 less wingnut asspickles in them House, and 4 to 5 less MAGA Dipshit Senators.

6. Whenever I interact with members of this cult my first response is...

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Seriously, I've had more coherent conversations with schizophrenic street people.

Sadly that has no impact on the cult members. They simply assume I'm "uninformed" because I don't pay any attention to the hateful programs they watch on television and listen to on the radio.

Hell, I don't watch ANY television news or opinion. The only radio I listen too is our local public station.

7. I heard one of talk radio guys yesterday talking about the liberals...

And he kept repeating, screaming it over and over, that they could "kiss my ass".

"Kiss my ass!" "Kiss my ass!" He repeated about ten times over and over.

I was finally able to get to the radio and turn it off. It was sick.

I wondered why they would have someone so mentally unstable on the air?

8. Lol, remembering driving through the night in eastern Nevada,

all alone on an empty planet -- except for one radio signal which was coming from Chicago (!) because it was boosted at night. Anyway, during one segment, proof that climate change was a hoax was offered by a gentleman who come especially to explain that he'd had a clandestine meeting with CIA agents -- in the middle of the night on the slopes of Mt. Ararat in the Holy Lands --- who revealed that dangerous truth to him -- that the CIA was behind the giant hoax.

Secret meeting on Mt. Ararat with CIA agents. Wasn't that that shook my world, or the other segments that kept me transfixed, but that each night that station's programming was apparently reaching most of the continental U.S.

That was about 40 years ago.
