You (royal you) argue that the news won't stop making a spectacle about this shit because it pulls in viewers. They only care about viewers because they use those numbers to determine how much they can charge the advertisers. If advertisers are too scared, then it won't matter how many people watch the shit. Without the money coming in, the news media will switch it up. That's how you get them to stop evangelizing it. You can't legally do anything to them, but you can hurt their pockets. Again, McCarthy made it work for him, wacko religious fruits make it work for them, and modern social justice warriors make it work for them.
I realize I'm just repeating myself at this point so I'll drop it. But fuck if I don't feel like a dude in a cartoon in which people are sitting around a table asking for ideas and the one person offering one that ALREADY HAS WORKED keeps getting talked over or ignored.
On the political side, instead of bitching about lobbyists we don't like, why aren't we creating/supporting those that we do? Fuck, the NRA itself is little more than a vocal minority. It claims 5 million members. Why can't the other 235,000,000 adult Americans get a Reverse NRA together?
