If the people burned down the fox news state propaganda machine maybe.
20 or 30 years ago, I would have agreed, maybe. In 2026, we're at least a couple decades past the point where removing or making any reasonable dent in Fox news propaganda would be even remotely enough to counteract what's going on.
Someone had Fox News' Christmas tree burnt down a few years ago so that is kinda close
Krasnov really tried to test the 5th Avenue comment I guess.
Though I'm honestly still skeptical. My fellow Americans have proven to have goldfish memory. After all, we all said the J6 fallout was the final nail in the coffin, but they had gaslit reality within fucking weeks.
J6 ain't over by a long shot. Those charges were set aside, not forgotten. You can bet that Jack Smith will be happy to pick up where he left off.
Americans watch too much television. TV is controlled by the wealthy and friends of Trump. All this will be drowned out by bread and circuses in a week.
J6 has been the most successful US political movement in my lifetime
J6 was a symptom not a movement. The movement was started around 2014 via social media algorithms pushing people to vote for someone like Trump in the first place, the decades of propaganda from conservative talk radio/talk shows, and Hillary being the liberal bogey woman for 30+ years at that point had made poorer whites feel apathetic to voting democrat ever again because they abandoned the working class in the 90s in response to Reagan’s success in the 80s.
Don't forget literal decades of propaganda to convince people that immigrants are all dangerous criminals.
As well as decades of propaganda to convince people that either party existed to help the country rather than themselves. Things have gotten so extreme because both parties have burned through all their more moderate excuses for why they can't make things better so now they've upped the ante and continue with the same song and dance.
Well sure, there's wider context behind J6 as a single flash point, but I don't think you should overlook the event itself. It's the most successful single day of protest that I can think of - yeah they got arrested and jailed for a while, but in the end they got literally everything they wanted and were entirely vindicated. The J6ers were transformed into political prisoners and martyrs, becoming a rallying flag for their movement. I think Trump's victory owes a lot to their contribution.
People know Trump lies. It's Congress that they believe.
"We need to stop Trump!"
Votes to approve his budget, cabinet, won't vote to impeach and remove from office
and yet congress has had even lower approval ratings than the president for the last couple of administrations.
Good news: Teh Graniuad is able to print the word "lies" in relationship to trump
Bad news: they still chicken out and apply it to a faceless organization
The only saving grace of the trump administration is that he came along during a period of history where everyone has a video camera in their pocket
So, what repercussions for the murderer, and for the people who ordered him to go out and murder? How much does this "beaten back" agenda involve?
Just words?
The Nuremberg trials only began after the Nazis were defeated.
