  2. I miss how Pakman used to play that recording every time he said, "bonus show." How'd it go? "Oh, the bonus show, where you make a lot of money...." Republican politicians and media talking heads know what kinds of things keeps their base engaged. Maybe, or mostly, because they were the ones to program those things into those people's mostly empty heads, or maybe because they recognized that there was this untapped demographic. What demographic? The one that has no interest in politics, but loves the National Enquirer, pro Wrestling, monster truck rallies, and the Jerry Springer Show. If Republicans could give those people the political equivalent of that, and make it like an unending reality TV show of an us-vs-them team sport, mixed with equal helpings of feelings of fear and superiority to a certain group of people, then they could own that base completely. And they do. All other news is fake. So no facts can get through.
