The resurgence of newsmax in the last few years has been equal parts disheartening and panic-inducing. Seeing it on Lemmy every week or so feels similar to metastasis.
There’s this sweet little old lady who comes in my store and buys a powerball once a week. I’ve known her for years. She always says, “if I hit, you won’t have to work anymore. I probably won’t, but if I win you win.”
All these years and she’s never talked to me about anything but powerball dreams.
Last week she came in and said, “I seen on newsmax where illegals are coming across the border without a worry in the world. They’re just taking care of them with our money.”
She went on this ku klutz klan krant and I couldn’t believe it. It broke my heart.
I don’t watch tv so newsmax wasn’t something I heard of before she said that. I looked it up. Damn. What a mess.
