How are NHL ratings doing? Nascar? Baseball? Pro wrestling? How did Vince McMahon's 'We won't let the black players protest!' Football league do? All going from strength to strength because they're less political and will benefit from all the millions of conservatives changing their viewing habits, I'm sure.
Given how much of a bee in your bonnet you seen to have about black people protesting over the fact they're subjected to state sanctioned murder, I wouldn't be surprised if people told you what you wanted to hear to make you go away.

Re: Given their numbers, it's a self-correcting problem

It's about time small time artists and minor labels had a voice willing to speak up against their interests, to cry out 'We agree!' whenever the RIAA trots out some new twist on copyright to make it easier to strip away the creator's rights, or cut off all the paths they've been using to promote their work and build fanbases without major label backing. Now the little guy will finally get a chance to have someone write an op ed in the New York Times in their name without their consent, which sounds exactly like an RIAA press release, railing about piracy killing music and making artists starve, even though said artists get a tiny cut of the profits from recordings of their work.
Thank god someone's there to think of the little guy and making their lives just so much worse.
Donald Trump was not anonymous on social media and he used it to bring the western world to it's knees. The republicans that aided and abetted him are also, again, not anonymous on social media. Facebook is run by people who want to destroy online anonymity for their own personal gain, they collect vast amount of data, building up profiles on people who don't even use their services and allow their platform to be used as a means to administer propaganda with surgical precision... I'd say that sort of thing has more to do with the current hellworld we live in than someone being able to call themselves Johnny Hotpants online.

I'm not sure they can salvage the republican party, they've spent decades celebrating ignorance, attacking expertise, glorifying superstition and trying to roll back the clock on all social progress made in the last century. Whenever they get power, they go straight for the education system because they want their voters to be as dumb as possible, to limit their options in life to make it harder for them to want more and to get outside of the world they grew up in, packed with guns, bibles and ignorance. In vast chunks of america, they have had decades to do just that, to put the republican dream into practice, deleting vast chunks of history and science to fit the political views of those in power, and now we have generations of people ignorant and angry, willing to lap up whatever lies Fox, OANN or Facebook tell them that confirms the world view that was drilled into them from the moment they were born. It's going to take generations to pull the right out of the dive towards fascism, and the GOP will fight and scream about bias every step of the way.
