18. The Republican party has turned fascist before our eyes and the media never mentions the word.

That’s all I need to know about the media.

Many of the R voting rubes don’t know that. They vote for whoever has an R beside their name. If the media would stop normalizing Republicans behavior and refer to them by what they are - fascists - maybe some of those R voters would wake up to the change the party has taken, but apparently that’s never going to happen with this media.

When a sitting senator points out that it is a “Trump Party” the media needs to say what that means, which is that the American ideal of democracy has disappeared from that party. The message needs to be to keep voting for them if you no longer want a democratic government, not even a republic form of government.
