They learned from Hungary, that in democracy if you control media, you control how people vote.

I mean the US was already about 70% there, much farther than almost every other Western country..

Not that the remaining 30% isn't CRUCIAL, mind you, but let's not pretend that nothing was wrong with just about every aspect of the US political system before Trump et al took it to 11..
