One Man Destroyed America

I was one of those faithful listeners back in the day.

There was "political commentary" laced into those talk shows, but one thing that sticks with me is I was being told hours upon hours every day that Democrats and Liberals were brainwashed and an enemy to America. I was told Bill Clinton was an actual communist. And "we" must do everything we can to wrestle the power from the left, who want to turn the USA into (irony meter on alert) another version of the Soviet Union.

I recall comments like, "we can't get rid of all Liberals, we should keep a couple in a museum so we don't forget what they are". It was hateful shit.

And I BOUGHT it at the time. But thankfully, I was always very open minded on abortion and gay rights so I wasn't hook line n sinker with it. That allowed me to be critical (on some level) of the shit I was being fed and eventually I realized it was just right wing bullshit propaganda. Took me shit...5, 6 years to finally vote for the Democrats. Even in 2000 I voted third party and not Gore.

It's not easy to get off that fucking reservation let me tell you and I was only like 2% as brainwashed as these fools are today.
