As long as there’s money to be made by selling lies, weaponizing Trump's viciousness, and peddling conspiracies, Fox News will continue to do it.
Profiting off of dangerous lies has become a big business in America.
It’s one of the core challenges to the future of democracy.
@rbreich The US hasn't been a democracy - ever. Think electoral college; think gerrymandering; think private money in politics.
For the rest, your post is spot on.
@tilden @rbreich You're right, no country has achieved it, but many have gotten *much* closer than the US ever has.
And sure it can and should be tried, but that will be a massive battle, as the powerful have a lot of money to spend to prevent it from happening. Currently, their money buys them laws they want, allows them to unpay workers, etc etc. Capitalism is anti-democracy. The two cannot co-exist.
