LOL... the Trump is a guy that's had affairs, paid hush money, and ditched wives faster than I shoot a S&W Model 10. Newt Gingrich ditched his wife on her death bed dying of cancer while banging another women and later while going after Clinton for infidelity. He cheated on his second wife and left her because she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

I can go on and on about shitty Republicans that are just as shitty as Democrats. But the worst thing is these Republicans claim to be Conservatives and are held up as Conservative Icons promoting truth, principles, logic, and ethics.

AM Talk Radio is a dead format. Late born Millennials and Gen Zers don't even know WTF Talk Radio is. Iconic figures like Rush Limbaugh are not known to them.

Talk Radio lost itself as a format. Who listens to it anymore? I grew up listening to Rush. Hell, I listened to him in High School with one earbud in math class. I hope he enjoys his last days on this Earth in peace. But he's outdated, his mindset is outdated, and today's youth wouldn't gravitate to him at all. Rush is like Paul Harvey or Tom Magliozzi and Ray Magliozzi. They were pivotal in their eras and genres. They are now forgotten by the generations that are coming of age today. Like everything else....change is coming and nothing lasts forever. Who does Hannity reach? Aging Boomers mostly. A dying generation that is losing political capital and power to the Millennials as the dominate generation in American Politics.

Sean Hannityis 58 years old and was born in '61. He's a Boomer and his core audience is Boomers. He can relate and share their experiences. He can't do that with a Millenial or Gen Z'er. And political speaking, the American Conservative Movement we have today came of age and became established when Boomers became the dominant generation in American Politics and Business. They're hitting the Golden Years now and are being replaced by Gen X'ers and Millennials.

There is going to be a political shift has the Boomers lose power. The same thing happened to the WWII Generation in the 1970s. They started hitting their retirement years and the Boomers came of age politically. There was a political shift from Democratic Leadership and Social Welfare to Social Conservatism and Quasi Fiscal Conservatism.

Talk Radio as a format is outdated. A scheduled radio talk show that is mostly advertisement time with little air time. Yeah, that's a dying format. The youth of TODAY finds him foreign and most of what he preaches to be outdated.

And Donald Zilkha ( current owner of Colt)
And Tomkins P.L.C. (former owner of S&W)

In the late 90s, Ruger, Colt, and S&W were all under ownership that directly was against civilian ownership. Sig Sauer didn't give a fuck since they were still mostly foreign. Ron Cohen wasn't there yet. HK was HK. Beretta didn't give a rats ass either. They were flush with Mil Contracts and still doing well with police contracts like the LAPD and LASD.

The bigger Gun Companies are for profit businesses and they'll chase that dollar if it means fucking over civilians to keep the gravy train of government contracts following.

They helped cement the mess we're in now.

Problem is, "rugged individualism" was a myth. Our nation was founded on a collective basis of support and community. It wasn't mountain men that settled the wilds. It was everyday people that cleared the growth and carved out civilization by establishing communities that supported one another through market trading and division of labor. That allowed growth and expansion. Bob was a blacksmith so John could be a mason while his brother Paul was a carpenter. All the while Mary and Sue tended to the cows and raised children.
