The younger generation doesn't have the time. You can be the worst racist, but your kids are making non white friends in school and they're over it. You may hate "libruls" but your kid's favorite teacher has an Obama bumper sticker on her car. Another favorite teacher isn't even white! The times they are a changin' and fox news is the same old shit day after day.
Fox's main appeal is to older people, and they don't have the energy for so much hate. They were always sitting down at the teabag rallies.
