My favorite example is from Gergen and Shields to Shields and Brooks to Brooks and Capehart. What was a staple of political fare I consumed for decades, deteriorated into something unlistenable because someone I used to know and her colleagues now run the diversity police at PBS. Thus the inarticulate clown who shares an identity marker with James Baldwin had to be appointed Shields' successor. Jim Lehrer turned his creation over to a bunch of idiots and kids because he wanted to make a cool exit in his old age and the rest followed the market forces, red meat for the subscribers, urban liberals in this case. The listener's question cannot be separated from the general polarization and decline of the discourse on both the Right and the Left, IMO. The deterioration of the Republican party into a Trump cult is the mirror image of the leftist race madness, along with January 6 and the rest of it. Arguably, the Right went crazy long before the Left did, starting with Newt Gingrich, and we got nothing but bomb throwers ever since. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the people who subscribe to this channel vilify Liz Cheney, think that COVID vaccination is an evil ploy, and vote for Trump. The Left has built its racism cult unchecked by reality in part because there's been no dialogue to be had. We haven't even yet reached parity on the crazy train. To keep up, the Democrats would have to run Al Sharpton, not Joe Biden.
Many Republicans are looking for a candidate who will enter the lists on behalf of the American citizen. Still waiting for someone not beholden to the machine. Trump wins this time for the same reason he won last time, he fights for us and Unigov fights us.

There is a case to be made that the Trump cult is the Democrats. He exerts far more power over Democrats than Republicans.

I don’t believe he can win. If nothing else stops him, he’ll be assasinated
The Swamp does not mean to be drained. Chaos is always used to advantage by tyrants.
