      Just because the dude wants to rule as God on earth doesn’t mean you can’t have a nuanced, neutral view on him! /s

        Yeah I mean I’m fine with trump locking up his political opponents for no reason, I just don’t want to hear him talk about it on tv. I also really don’t understand democratic voters that care more about democracy than gas prices or inflation. Were you people not paying attention when he cut our nursing home population in half?

      I don’t think /u/Telorand was suggesting that. Rather I think they’re saying that Fox news is trying to appeal to both trump supporters and non-trump supporters within their base, whatever their base counts as these days.

        My pops is super conservative and he finally came around to thinking trump is a grifter and criminal. Fox went a long way (or all the way and then some) towards discrediting themselves within the journalism community, but they still have a lot of boomers that are addicted to the outrage they spew.

        I don’t think they are trying to appeal to their audience that is closer to center. I think they realize they can’t support open fascism and come out the other side if it fails.
