limbaugh's lead in excusing trump for everything he does, based on 30 years of accumulated repeated lying that has never been challenged - hillary was so much worse, there is no collusion, all made up by the deep state dems etc.

craig melvin of msnbc had on a rw radio host who's on 15 stations in texas to talk about the wall and melvin asked him "what are your callers saying" and they guy just repeated that the base wants a wall....

all these dumbasses who might call his show have been listening to limbaugh lies for years and they get all pissed off at democrats and the only shows they can call into are the local blowhards and they just repeat what limbaugh and the other national blowhards have said and the conventional wisdom that that's 40% and they want a wall.

and limbaugh claims to know what the "people want" even tho he goes from limo to private jet top studio to limo the mara largo to pick up some laundered russian money. and he's cheered on every shutdown since the 90s and continues to say it really won't harm republicans and shutdowns are good.

and all this wall crap evolved out of 20 years of constant lying about immigrants, mostly to sell voter suppression legislation. and limbaugh is still telling 10's of millions from a protected monopoly on public airwaves that democrats want illegal brown people here so they can vote for dems - to destroy america.

and dems just stick their fingers in theirears and say that's what the trump base wants to believe, it's free speech, etc.

this isn't going to change until democrats/left/liberals stop letting a few hundred racist assholes on 1500 radio stations yell the same lies all day with no organized opposition.
