The medias (I really don't think there is a singular "media" as everyone seems to) certainly can make quite a bit of money off this situation, but I was taught as a child by a particular religion that Democrats are demons who want to kill babies. I am not exaggerating nor am I particularly young; that is to say that this is not a recent development. When the indoctrination has reached that deep, I don't believe there really is any coming back. But yes, as I say to myself many times a day now, I am so glad I don't have kids; there is vanishingly little of this world I would wish to share with them.
