I always thought Fox was a victim of their own success. They were very hesitant early on to get behind Trump as were other GOP powers such as Paul Ryan. Wheter Trump drained the swamp or not he certainly shook up the GOP political machine.
As misguided as the are, MAGA at least consists of a majority working class body of Americans making their leaders & media follow along rather than being led by the nose by lying leaders.
As Winston says, hope will have to come from the proles.
I will agree that MAGA is generally made up from the working class. You seem to be indicating that that somehow exempts them from being used by leaders that have little interest in the people they represent. What indication do you have that any of their leaders care one bit about them? Trump and the like give speeches specifically designed to anger the people with the horrible oppression they are under. Much of what is said is demonstratively wrong.
There is certainly something to be said about the wisdom of the hardworking however that is not what I see happening here. You are also discounting the wisdom who do not blindly believe everything they see on TV or read in the news. I am sure there are educational institutions that do a lousy job teaching it's students to think for themselves but they would be the minority.
The Right wants to accuse the left of grooming students to believe liberal values and faults schools that don't allow ultra conservative voices on campus and I am sure there are cases where this happens. On the other hand that is exactly the opposite of what is happening in FL right now.
We are all guilty to an extent of finding informational sources that support our own view however I would guess that you will find that individuals on the Left use much broader sources of news than the MAGA crowd.
