A few good things that could eventually emerge from the trump error (er, era)
The beginnings of the death of social networking tools - all of them (I know it is a pipedream, but for the most part, they are havens for voyeurs and narcissists and just plain waste time and ruin relationships - and as we see, create conspiracy cults - just to name a few things).
The beginning of the end of right wing hate radio and TV. This one won't be so easy, but I think Democrats need to put their thinking caps on and think of ways of eroding them. Shining a light on what's really been doing on in the country due to the race to the right of the right wing, combined with the two factors above - continuing seething racism, misogyny, homophobia and more. There may be more good things - of course, what Biden and Harris hope to accomplish in their platforms will all be good things - but as those proceed, somehow the rot that enabled us to be where we are need to be excised.

1. Shining a light on these problems, as you say,
Is the first step in correcting them. Quote from Seneca : “Hidden hatred is worse than uncovered hatred” - we are uncovering this terrible hatred to come to a reckoning

2. Over Trump's veto the NDAA was passed which included a new money laundering provision...
which could lead to making all campaign donations transparent. This could be a really good thing.
I even heard Westwood One was making changes. The AM radio hate networks have always been high on my King for a Day list. |

3. I've been scoffed at for pushing this..BOYCOTTS are very successful
Want to change the narrative? You make them bleed advertisers

4. Right wing media is going nowhere
In fact, the other thread about CNN said Fox News will be expanding their opinion programming and reducing actual news. |
