Without Fox News Bill Clinton would never have been impeached, George W. Bush would never have been elected, the Iraq war would never have started, Sarah Palin would not have been living rent-free in our heads for almost eight years, and there would have been no Donald Trump.
And that is just to name a few examples of the damage they have done.
Just a reminder…

So glad you posted this. It is the best depiction of the damage done to the people in the country by the GOP, Fox News, not wearing masks, etc. Those states at the top for the past couple of months are low population density states, so for them to have the highest number of new cases (per million which equalizes them all), is just outlandish and so stupid. It did not have to happen.
Further, if you find Sturgis SD on the map you will see that the states not far from that city are on the top of the graph and started to get up there in the weeks and months after the Sturgis Rally in mid-August — so it is a pretty good bet that the rally — attended by tens of thousand, for a number of days, in close quarters and pretty much no masks — and people who probably did not cooperate with tracing once they began to be infected. — made a huge “contribution” to what is going on in those neighboring states right now.

Ivanka Trump’s New Favorite Social Platform Is Dangerous for Kids
While the likes of Ivanka Trump and Ted Cruz — and those who love them — have been joining the social media platform Parler in droves, particularly since Donald Trump lost the election, a parents group is sounding the alarm of the dangers it presents for children and teens. The very reason the app is popular with the right — that no one censors its posts, not even those from violent, racist, antisemitic extremists — are why it could prey on young audiences.
“Parents should know that due to Parler’s dangerous combination of an extremist user base and almost non-existent moderation of content, hate speech, incitements to violence and disinformation about the election results are pervasive on the platform,”
ParentsTogether Action, a parent-led advocacy group, said in a post last week. “ParentsTogether urges all parents of children under age 18 to immediately check their kids’ phones and tablets to ensure that their children have not installed Parler. If your child has installed Parler, we strongly recommend that you delete their account and the app.”
We’re not just talking about pro-Trump posts here. Posts on Parler from self-described ProudBoys members and other white nationalist movements are urging others to start a civil war by murdering Democrats. ParentsTogether has also cited anti-Islamic and anti-Semitic posts on the platform, making it all the more ironic that Ivanka Trump joined the site last week.

Trump’s Anti-LGBTQ Agenda Has Been Hidden in Plain Sight

Who is GOP’s next Trump? One potential candidate stands out
…… But there is one potential candidate who checks more boxes than anyone else. He has been polishing his proto-Trump act for years and delivers populist spiels with far more gusto and conviction than the Trump kids or GOP senators. He is a genuine TV star and a very familiar face as Trump was before launching his presidential bid. I’m no fan — I have literally never watched his show. But besides all his other check marks, he also has this huge plus: close ties with Republican donors. He’s also much smarter than Trump.
So is America ready to elect as president a kid who grew up in Southern California as a wealthy prep student? In four years — unless Trump runs again — I think Fox News host Tucker Carlson intends to find out.

Republicans are terrified of having to think for themselves once Trump is gone: S.E. Cupp
….. I just think republicans have been so emasculated by this president that they lost their identity. They’re like teenagers about to go off to college. For 18 years their parents told them what to say and think, and all of a sudden they have to make their own decisions. Republicans are waking up to that reality. Well, Trump is going to be gone and they’ll have to rediscover who they are and what they think and believe in again, without someone like Trump telling them who they are and where to go.”
