The Efficient Rhetorical Fortress of the Right

The right has its own 'efficient' rhetorical fortress: you don't have to listen to liberals (and anyone with a wrong opinion can be labeled a liberal/leftist), nor to experts even conservative ones, nor to journalists even conservative ones, and among the MAGA wing, you don't need to listen to anyone who isn't pro-Trump—efficiently walling you off from people you should listen to.
