Our democracy is endangered, under siege on multiple fronts by enemies, both foreign and domestic. The GOP is aggressively pursuing a racially biased, xenophobic, evangelical, fascist agenda and systematically compromising constitutional guardrails, voting rights, reproductive liberty and the free press. Through rhetoric amplified by millions of followers and Russian trolls, Americans have become politically, culturally and socially polarized. Prevalence of tribalism, hatred, fear and bigotry is a symptom of broken politics, corruption throughout government, social injustice and corporate greed that have marginalized middle-class communities and eroded public trust in social norms. Yearning for solace, if not others to blame, audiences gravitate to media that align with their beliefs, where they become targets for sinister propaganda that capitalizes on their fears and stokes division for political or ideological gain.
