We are dealing with decades here. I’ve never seen it happen. Is it just because of broadcast media? If so, how do we square free speech with irresponsible speech?

It is dominantly broadcast media, but there is also a component of leftist professors in academia. In recent years, Social media has also become a major player in the "gaslighting" of America.

If so, how do we square free speech with irresponsible speech?

I have no objections to letting them say whatever they want, so long as our side is given equal time to rebut. This is the crux of the problem. *THEY* can speak to the public, but *WE* cannot because *THEY* control mass communications.

At the very least we should demand equality, but I prefer dominance if we can attain it.

I think if we are able to attain equality, the very knowledge that there are alternative ideas to liberal crazy will quickly result in our ideas becoming dominant.
