The 24/7 Republican political infomercials disguised as news produce fact resistant humans as they mock science, education, push conspiracies, hate and fear to outrage & motivate the voters.
Anything that gets in their way needs to be demonized and fought against at every step -- taxation, environmental regulations, worker rights, higher minimum wage, education & universal health care.
The Republican ’blue collar base’ has been programed by the Republicans behavioral science marketing to vote against their own interests out of fear & hatred of their perceived enemies, the “evil, anti American Democrats.”
They hate the Democrats more than they love the Republicans.
Studies show that the Right Wing News audience are consistently the most ill informed viewers of all major media, dwelling in an alternate reality of fake news and conspiracy.
The gaslighting has weaponized ignorance & convinced viewers that fake news is real and real news is fake.
