The MSM, Owned and Managed by the Right

is setting the tone, controlling the narrative, to move our great nation from democracy to autocracy.

Truth tellers like Rachel Maddow are gone.

Truth tellers like Thom Hartmann are bashed here at DU.

We have an AG who will not hold the leaders of the shift to autocracy accountable. We have a civil rights division of DOJ that is not doing enough to ensure that we have free and fair elections.

We have the head of the FBI who is a member of the Federalist Society, the very group that is leading the way to our conversion to autocracy. The head of the FBI who did not properly vet his fellow law school student, his fellow Federalist Society member, Brett Kavanaugh.

What do we have, we who want to keep our democracy? We have GOTV which must overcome rigged elections and gerrymandering.

Americans who want to preserve our democracy are not going to be enthused to vote if the leaders of the autocratic movement are never held accountable, why should they be enthused?

The closer we get to the election, the more the MSM is going to push the propaganda that will lead down the path to autocracy. the MSM is going to push the narrative that one of our greatest presidents ever, is weak, that he should have done more in Ukraine. I can see it coming. The only people left on cable news who are capable of flipping this narrative are Chris Hayes and Nicolle Wallace.

GOTV - I do feel good about keeping the Senate, in a fair election.

Our monsignor is anti-Trump in a Trump town. Once in a while he throws out barbs to the Trump faithful.

the corporate censored, narrow ranged, swill they are watching.

There are still listener/watcher sponsored alternatives on radio and the inter webs. Pacifica network for example.

Underestimating the significance of controlling the narrative is a big deal, it restricts what Democrats can accomplish.

We had the Wisconsin SC create an additional black voting district and the US Supreme Court overturned the state SC. So much for states running their own elections which is written in the Constitution.

We have just found out that the lawyer, Eastman, who wrote up the coup document, is good buddies with Clarence Thomas. A SC justice and his wife who were in favor of overturning a fair and free election.

I don't see how we keep our democracy.
