Several major US airports - including Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International, Portland International, Seattle-Tacoma International, and three in New York - are refusing to play a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in which she blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown.
Seriously. Just go into /r/conservative and look what “news” they are reading. It is all rage-bait stories about violence in the world caused by people of color or immigrants or leftists. There are no stories at all about the shutdown. I was flying home from vacation two days ago and could see the Fox News stories on a guy’s TV in front of me. It was all rage-bait with no actual news stories, not even fake news stories blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
Their base is a bunch of morons, they either STILL don’t get it, or will NEVER care. Because aside from pure morons is the pure evil group that gets off on this shit.
There is no changing the minds of their base, what matters is getting uninterested voters to realize they need to actually participate in democracy while we still have it.
I feel like this is backfiring for Republicans. No one sees them as honest anymore.
Unless you live in the giant GOP media bubble where you don’t hear the truth about these folks. Which is 59% of the US.

Yes but the other party isn’t going to fix everything instantly, so we might as well let the outright fascists win again.
Hrm, I don’t think that’s the best course of action. Do you have experience in governing large bodies of people?
