What’s going on now, in large part because of the World Wide Web social media and smart phones, is like invention of the Printing Press. These new tools give the richest man in the world unfettered ability to credibly promote his strange beliefs world-wide.
Married to the most powerful man in the world, a convicted felon who mastered populist promotion of a made for television personality, they have found ways to exploit this nation’s protestant work ethic democratic republic governance system to personally seize enormous personal power, wealth and access to the public treasury..
Your “what we are seeing right now with the MAGA squad thrashing our institutions out of spite” is dangerous. Hate and retribution, like Gazan’s chose in 2008, led to death and destruction snd can happen here, it happened to my Cuban relatives.
I agree with you that German type restrictions would be a hard sell here but the Fairness Doctrine did provide some control until cancelled by Ronald Reagan. Suing for defamation is slow and expensive but helps a little.
I pray we find a way to control these dragons before it is too late.
