Nothing on the radio in the Midwest except Rush Limbaugh. He had converted most of the Midwest before the year 2000. They were formally brainwashed. I lost my Wisconsin family. Every radio station had him on for about 18 years straight. Where my brother worked, a factory they played Rush out loud in the factory so people could listen. Yes we have a lot of brainwashed people.
