Richard Waddle Associates polled Trump voters and discovered the vast majority of Trump voters either regularly listened to conservative talk radio or to friends, relatives, or co-workers who did.
Surprised?
Just kidding. That’s fake. I made that up, but no one should be surprised.
The problem is we don’t really know how close the correlation is because NO ONE POLLED IT! At least I can’t find anything. If you see something please let me know.
Here’s a quote from one of the advisors he used in researching his run:
“I listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, and he (Trump) was getting reports from me,”
And there’s no polling to measure what is probably the closest correlation outside of skin color?
A great orange cloud of assholes from an alternate reality is drifting down over America as we speak because the Democratic Party and progressive organizations HAVE BEEN IGNORING REPUBLICAN TALK RADIO FOR 30 YEARS!
And no, it’s NOT because liberal talkers can’t compete. It’s a well protected monopoly — mom and pop vs wall mart. That’s the excuse the right uses.
If Americans protest to stop an impending war, mass deportations, registration of Muslims, more anti-choice legislation, and all the other horrors headed our way, they will just use a few hundred blowhards with big megaphones to shout over us.
But that’s just par for the course the last 30 years, with the left getting its ass kicked by a few hundred ignorant think tank-scripted liars on 1200 radio stations.
The right wing talk radio monopoly has moved the country 20 points to the right but the left is content to blame the symptoms and successes of years of unchallenged RW talk radio instead of the cause itself.
Trump is the first real talk radio president. This country might as well have put Rush Limbaugh in the White House.
He needs a RUSH tattoo on his forehead.
Something is fundamentally wrong and it’s the radio. That’s the only medium or major political factor that has no political counter from the left.
