Comment on How would American culture change if the internet went down?

Politics would probably start to shift dramatically towards the left with the lack of echo chambers online.
No, it would not. The USA was not more liberal before the internet. Fascism rose without the internet in many countries.
It would be nice to not have Russian trolls though.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

I think people forget these talk radio shows are still a thing. A lot of us, especially Millenials and younger, are streaming our own music/audiobooks/podcasts in the car. But there are a lot of people who listen to talk radio.

There is a very small progressive talk radio movement. In MN AM 950. Matt McNeil is getting syndicated.
So not all gloom.
