How can he be so certain that the changes aren't going to be reversed? To me it looks that Trump has proven that the majority of Republican voters have no ideology other than what their president and/or Fox News tells them, so as soon as Fox News changes their tune, so should the voters, right?Stokes has made a study of how Trump has changed the American people’s attitudes to the world. After looking at decades of Pew polling, his main conclusions are threefold: that Trump has shattered any broad American consensus about the US role in the world, that he’s reshaped Republican voters’ opinion in his own image, and that these changes aren’t going to go away when Trump does.
>as soon as Fox News changes their tune, so should the voters, right? The extent to which Fox shapes public opinion, and to which public opinion shapes Fox, is a topic that likely deserves its own hubski post and a great deal of considered discussion.
Why would Fox change their tune though? He's proven that they like being riled up too, so after he's voted out what incentive is there for him or Fox or any republican wanting the same following to change? I don't think a pre-trump republican can run because the rabble will happily throw them out led by Fox and trump on the sidelines.
