They would also have to completely dismantle Murdoch Media and all the other propaganda plants which are purely meant to transform people into this.

That's what I believe needs to happen. They can whine about the First Amendment, but right-wing media has done serious damage to our national discourse.

I'm all for media with a conservative bent, bit what Fox, OANN, Newsmax, and others do is just plain wrong. And it's bullshit that Fox will claim in lawsuits that they aren't actually news. They willing lie and misrepresent reality to further the fascist agenda. They all helped foment January 6th. IAMNAL, but from my point of view, what these media sources do is not that different from shouting fire in a crowded theater.

And it didn't even work well.

For many, many years after WW2, German opinions of Jewish people, and whether what Hitler did was wrong was still incredibly fascist in nature. In the early 1950s, 5+ years after WW2, you still had a full 1/3 of Germany think that Hitler was correct. In 1952, 25% of Germans thought the Neuenburg Trials were unfair

The department of education is currently mid-demolition, but maybe some future America will have education again...
