I have a real fondness for the Voice of America and it breaks my heart that malignant ding-dong Trump has, for the moment, ended its existence. And, yet, I think we all know what happens next: it turns into an OANN clone.
The REAL reason why it’s been shuttered is so Trump and his Project 2025 cronies can find a few hundred far, far, far Right MAGA nutjobs to staff it and then turn it into state media.
VOA isn’t supposed to be broadcast in the States but, lulz, I don’t see that lasting. So, within 18 months, I suspect we’re all going to be talking about how VOA is now state media both at home and abroad and how insane it is in its support for Trump and MAGA.
It’s shit like this that makes me fear that you just can’t unring the Trump bell in the US government. It definitely seems as though This Is It. The end, folks, we’re an autocracy now — Trumplandia — and eventually ICE or the FBI will start pushing people like me out of windows.
Sigh.
