Well, yeah. You don't get to stay the top viewed "news" network if your entire viewer base can't afford cable... or electricity... anymore.

Especially if they truly monkey with Social Security like they've been threatening to... think how many Fox viewers depend on that.

Fox will tell them that getting their Social Security cut off is "good, actually", because something about Biden and immigrants and DEI, and the viewers will nod in agreement right up until their TV turns off because the power company cut their electricity for non-payment.

 

[wonko the sane?]

The flip of that coin is: research has already shown that it only takes like a month to deprogram fox news viewers after removal. So... country wide mass deprogramming.

Fox will go whichever way the ratings lean. Trump's approval ratings are dropping, so this week they're mildly questioning his policies. Next week they could just as easily flip back around to kiss the ring again.

 

[KidTDragon]

And in all likelihood, will.

Everyone on YouTube makes fun of sovereign citizens, but the US just elected a president who's basically a sovereign citizen.

Seriously, what's the difference between Trump and your average sovcit? Do they not make the same bogus arguments from bizarre misreadings of the constitution and made-up legal principles that no real lawyer would take seriously? Do they not have the same attitude that the laws somehow should not apply to them?

People are not nearly disturbed enough about Trump's attempts to use the power of the government to coerce private individuals to remake every part of society in his image, from education to art and culture.

Taking control of the Kennedy Centre and attempting to directly control what sort of performances can take place there is an attempt to take top-down control of culture. Taking control of education is an attempt to take top-down control of knowledge. The GOP wants every single part of society to be coerced into following their agenda, because they weren't inclined to do so on their own. This is very serious tyrant behaviour and people are sleeping on it.
