If you spend any time listening to AM radio, you will quickly realize why Republicans are pushing it. The a.m. Dial has been completely taken over by right-wing propaganda. This is a way to make sure people are propagandized.

That may be why moving toward using it for emergency alerts and community-based options could be beneficial. People are already there and being groomed into a certain way of thinking, so offer an alternative that is based on just the facts.

Watch the movie titled The Brainwashing of My Father and you will know how easily people can be indoctrinated.

When AM Radio is full of Right wing Platforms, it would be a service to get rid of the receivers in cars

so they win because they've overtaken it? and we resort to a form of censorship? or do we counter it with a better alternative?
