I always enjoy your stuff Mike. I still think you have too much of a blame "the piper" mentality. Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, et al are evil, but they are not pied pipers. They are mirrors and windows into the psyche of White Trumpublican America not the corruptors of it.
Think about it this way. There are basically three groups of people in America.
People of Color - 37%
White People who are OK integrating with POC - 21% (everyone who is not Trumpublican)
White People who are xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and racist -42% (Trumpublican America)
In the 2020 Election 7% of the POC block voted with the White Trumpublicans. That gives them 49% of electorate. Theoretically they are half the population.
How many of them are evil Mike?
I feel like you are blaming just the tip of the spear and saying the rest of it is just misled.
