If it were not for three hours of sanity, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Central time each morning, I do not know how I would be handling this election and its results. For me, it’s on an AM radio station, WCPT in Chicago, which is the only radio station to which I now listen, since the music station I used to put on in the afternoon has CBS news on the hour. The steadfast beacon of reason and hope through what I see as impending disaster for this country has been the Stephanie Miller show.
Like anyone in the media who is opposed to Trump and everything he stands for, when a politician has declared his intention to use the political power of the Presidency to go after anyone who has opposed him, they have reason to be fearful. And it has not taken long, on this side of the election, to see those who have lost the courage of their convictions. We’ve been told that this election was the most consequential one of our lifetimes, that our constitutional democracy, no less, was the issue that was at stake, and that Trump was the biggest threat we’ve seen to our democracy since Adolf Hitler and Nikita Khrushchev.
I didn’t have to be sold on that argument, I was able to see it for myself, when he started his first serious run for office prior to the 2016 election. But unfortunately, there are 74 million people in this country who are not only unable to see it, but are deliberately misinformed and deceived, and another 30 million who aren’t well enough informed to know how they feel about it. And now, after we have seen clearly and precisely that he is the greatest threat to constitutional democracy in America, and that he intends to destroy it and is systematically setting about to put together the people who will do it for him, we have some in the media who are tucking tail and running, and some who are being duplicitous and trying to curry favor with him.
