Yes. Some who were duped in 2016 and voted incorrectly for Trump have gained knowledge.
The rest of us have become less complacent with the cheating and manipulation of the right wing media, and along with Biden are fighting it with facts/reality.
A well informed populous is necessary for the survival of a democracy.
Too bad.
Again, there are the liars and propaganda on the right. A little bit of name-calling from the left due to crimes and stupidity from the right. And reality, usually from sources now labelled “left-wing media” who try to educate people (although obviously the right’s lies spread faster to isolated, low-information voters like the Amish).
NPR is there with Scientific American, Nat. Geo. and others who simply tell the truth and present you with reality.
You’ve just slipped and slid so far right that you think they are spouting Left Propaganda
Sad.

But RF is a dangerous place for snowflakes.
(Slightly) different in the UK I believe - segregation and all that - but those two would still go to jail, and rightfully so.

Biden isn't popular with progressives. The only thing that speaks for him is, as you said, not being Trump.
What an apt symbol for how regressive it is to support Trump.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
But what about the jams and preservatives?
Hence his popularity.
My bad. I forgot to whom I was writing. Of course you want people to watch biased anti-Trump media. Otherwise they might get an unfiltered opinion about Trump, like the Amish, and like who they see.
Wait, are you calling the Amish regressed? To slam a religious minority on RF. For shame.
Your noble defense of a religious minority is unnecessary. The Amish are proudly regressed. It's their entire claim to fame.
But I'll remember how concerned you are about criticism of religious minorities in the future. Thank you for sharing.
This really does seem to be a major problem, now.
There was some (to my mind) bizarre comments on the tv where people were comparing generally favourable opinions about our state leader (based on polling) with extremely negative publicity he was receiving, as if it was hard to reconcile the two and we'd entered bizarro land. But Australian media...more than almost anywhere in the world...is controlled by a small number of players. If they decide someone is getting negative publicity, and a few key advocacy groups decide the same, they can push that point very effectively. It's extremely obvious, without even worrying about which side of the left-right fence the players are on.
That's without mentioning the frankly incestuous manner in which people consume 'news' on platforms like Facebook, amongst others, where there isn't even a pretense of fact-checking.
At this point, I'm cheering for anyone who promotes discussion, investigation, transparency and process improvements, almost apart from their policy decisions.
And it's hard to find people to cheer for.

There are, the last time I studied this, over 15 orders of Amish, and some are quite liberal, even some owning cars. The Old Order Amish are the most well known and I believe still the largest.
BTW, I've spent some limited time with them in northern Indiana as part of my studies when I was teaching a comparative religions course. Absolutely fascinating people, let me tell ya.

The Amish here make the best apple fritters I've ever eaten.
