7. This is how the term "Foxsucker" came into being

Millions of people watch Fox, don't even care if it lies or not. But it appeals to their basest emotions: fear and anger. The fear begets the anger, and when the anger takes over, with apologies to Metallica, nothing else matters, least of all facts or logic.

Like the cancer right wing radicalism is, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. Left untreated, it will consume you, and plenty of people don't want to believe there is anything wrong with them until it's too late to do anything about it.
