Not surprised at all.
Do we, the citizens of the USA, even still have a Republic?
I’m not sure we do, and if we do, it is hanging by a thread, and no radio or TV personality is going to help us save it.
Popular political media pundits who created a niche industry for themselves, arguing about who is the “most pure” conservative Republican, have devolved into inane and rather pointless and outdated entertainment figureheads.
Lot’s of us have been talking quietly amongst ourselves, for a long time, and decided we can actually take back our rightful places and power.
Mark, Rush, Sean etc are welcome to join us, but they will not lead us.
That’s not their role.
How many assume the mantle of "Republican", and couldn't give you a decent definition of "republic" without Google?
