Democrats inclined are satisfied with public radio and not interested in indoctrination with political bias.

As for the future, remember that change always creates more change, events create reactions, and situations change in many ways to affect them. Nothing's a straight line.

Notably, these despicable people would become almost magically far more decent with more decent leadership. Authoritarians want leaders to assume the burdens of citizenship, which includes deciding matters of conscience for them, and to make them safe. They became very bad with increasingly bad leaders, but they used to have more decent leaders and can again.

Just not tomorrow. Some major adjustments have to happen, and we are at some point in the adjustment period. Just hope it doesn't include crashing the whole nation to hurt them into going into hiding, They've been trying to do that and have done some real damage, including at least 400,000 dead before the holocaust is stopped. But they've also succeeded in waking up more and more of a mostly sleeping citizenry to the danger and in demonstrating the worth and sustainability of our institutions.

And one new development is that previously helpless and unheard responsible conservatives are now able to speak out about the need to reject the wealth-, religion- and Russia-drive, corruption and extremism that purged traditional conservatism from the right.
