Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.

With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).

Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?

    Decades of propaganda…

    This isn’t a hypothetical after Watergate and Nixon having to resign they decided the issue was non biased reporting, so they started Fox News.

    “A Plan for Putting the GOP on TV News,” the 41-year-old memo that Cook says was a lynchpin in a “nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the ‘prejudices of network news’ and deliver ‘pro-administration’ stories to heartland television viewers.”

    The neoliberal movement is trying to replicate it, but Republicans have too much of a head start, they’ll never catch up.

    But by now billionaires already own all the media because both parties have been de-regulating journalism and corporations.
