Between the GOP in general and Donald Trump we are in for a very rough ride. The Donald wants us all to believe that the media produces nothing but fake news and constantly lies. (Donald should know something about that since he lies constantly!) Meanwhile, the GOP Congress, aided by Trump's cabinet choices, has set about shutting down reporting to the public about everything from climate change to toxic spills in rivers and streams. Even NASA can't show us pictures of temperature gradients across the world.
So this is a government based on eliminating a free press and keeping hazardous news from the public. Do the 48% of Americans who voted for Trump really think that is a good idea? Do they really think a dumb and uninformed public is the best way to run a "democracy"? Actually, that is precisely the way dictatorships are run.
After the press is torn apart, they will turn to the universities and then the students. If you think this is not going to happen (can't happen here), follow the money. When the GOP starts re-routing the money (as they clearly can), the press and the universities will collapse.
