    nevertheless. His base is solid behind him.

    That’s what Fox News, AM radio and this lovely new crop of manosphere jerkoffs are all put on the air to do. Create this cult.

    Propaganda works. Usually only in one direction, usually only on most people. Add some evil-science military psyop characteristics and yeah. You get that.

    If our billionaire ‘free’ press could get to breaking that down, that’d be great kthx.

      The Internet has just totally changed things, the crazies, the kooks, the cranks, prior to the internet they would say something crazy and be ostracized for it.

      Now they get online they find a million other people that believe the same thing. And those Rich billionaires are using those crazy people for their own ends

      The only answer is for us to organize and counter use those crazy people against the people trying to use them against us, that’s the truth and we can do it. But obviously there’s a lot more to it than that.

      Obviously mass media was a thing before this and a huge problem, I was just illustrating away things have changed but you’re right Fox News well first of all they are the devil, or at least the voice of evil, but the entire reason we have ended up in this place. Not just them but you know that the worst obviously. Or they were.
