Thanks Charlie. Im a Liberal who supports the majority of Progressive policies. I do NOT admire Don Winslow, nor do I pay him much attention (or Glenn Greenwald, et al). They have more in common with the extremist Right than they do with me. I just want to see POC, Women, LGBTQ etc to have equal rights to white men (both in theory and in PRACTICE, which we do not have)

The problem with extremists on both sides (or all sides, because there are some truly crazy-ass Libertarians and Indies as well), is all they really have is Outrage, Misinformation, Cruelty, and All the ISMS, and general assinineness... All of them, from Left AND Right are working to further destroy this nation, and are serving Putin's agenda.

Perhaps it's time to reframe and re"brand" all the parties. Because the conservative anti-Liz's are every bit as lost and ignorant as the prog/lib anti-Liz's. So to call either of them "conservatives", "republicans" or "progressive", "liberals", or democrats is incorrect.

They're basicallyy all the same. So I lump them together (along with 6 justices on scotus) as "Extremists who want to destroy our Republic by destroying our Democracy.

I'm pretty frightened. We MUST find a way for the followers of the Extremists to actually hear and learn the Truth. (Im not referring to Winslow and the Scotus who all actually know better, I'm talking about the poor people who listen to Fox Propaganda, and the utter jackassery of Winslow et al.

Charlie, how do you suggest we accomplish that? I'm thinking we have to have to have to regulate ALL kinds of Mass Comm... What do you think, Charlie?
