Nov 9

from Machias, ME., to San Diego, CA., from Everett, WA., to Key West, FL., broadcasts nothing but violent Reich-wing claptrap and Sports Talk...and with most Sports Talk radio, you can't tell the difference from Reich-wing claptrap.

It's a small sample size, but two people I've known most of my life are perfect examples.

My brother was a life-long, blue collar Democrat. A couple decades ago, he began driving a delivery truck. He spent upwards of 8 hours a day on the road.

My brother in law builds pools in multiple midwest states. His work requires him to drive hours and hours each day. He never cared about politics and was mostly liberal in his thinking.

They've both become raving right-wing loons.

Every FUCKING conversation with my brother in law these days, he spews stupid shit about illegal immigrants being given homes, cars, and welfare.

BTW - I ask again; WHY THE FUCK IS ANY DEMOCRAT, LIBERAL, OR PROGRESSIVE ON FUCKING "XHITLER"??????????
