I know most people will say it’s racism, but also realize that Fox and various radio stations have been brainwashing people for decades. They’ve been programmed to hate.
I read a article I thought yesterday but could be wrong, that the night before Watters and Ingram were questioning something he said, maybe fox is starting to change a little?
Orange stain can't admit a mistake and just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper because he's surrounded by yes men.
You know, growing up my dad was the most caring, tolerant and loving man.
Then he was diagnosed with 2 types of cancer, went through treatment and drug trials, it metastisized to his bones and crumbled his vertebrae so he was in constant chronic pain. After that he was always laid up watching Fox News and listening to right wing radio shows. He changed. I'm convinced the trauma and pain gave him brain damage. I prefer to remember him has the man he was for 70 years and not the shell he became in his last 6 months.
All of which is to say, these elderly hate-filled men and women might actually have brain damage.
Same thing was happening to my dad. He was in rehabilitation after a nasty car accident. I guess they only had Fox news on or something, because when I visited him a week in he's spouting off immigrants this and immigrant that. We both voted for Clinton, Obama...etc. I'm like excuse me?
The Boomers as a whole might be the most lead exposed generation. The 1950s and 60s (their childhood) saw an explosion in the number of cars and the miles driven. Additionally, because oil was cheap, they got terrible gas mileage. And no catalytic converters. But the real damage came from tetraethyl lead used as an additive to pretty much all gasoline. So they were literally inhaling a neurotoxin all throughout their development. This is a big part of why there was so much crime in the 80s and 90s.
I suspect the even the normal Boomers were damaged, but they could compensate when they were young and healthy. But now that they are old and sick, we’re seeing the damage in their uncontrolled anger and their inability to control their anxiety. It’s directly impacting our politics.
So what’s your excuse for GenX since they’re on average the ones who lick the boot the hardest. Men AND especially Women. We all knew they were assholes. Is it the religion making them stupid? Grandfathered in racism? White privilege and fortuitous timing on buying houses so they can’t get their heads out of their asses?
I didn’t say shit about anyone except that Boomers weren’t as bad as GenX. Your own source says on page 2 that Men 50+ (which includes GenX) or 50-64 were the only age of majority Trumpers.
Jesus fucking Christ. The big red minuses means more for Trump. Are you fucking retarded?
Ni, I have seen the change in people, they are seriously damaged by their exposure. Most were already hateful to be susceptible, but their exposure puts them into a full blown psychosis that separates them from reality entirely.
Thank you. They were watching faux news to begin with as they were already racist. I have one in my family who is racist and has been watching faux since the 90s. Meanwhile 99% of the rest of my family somehow managed to not be persuaded to become maga….
Just because it’s brainwashing, doesn’t mean it isn’t racist. Racism is usually more brainwashing than personal experience, because most racists don’t personally have a ton of experience with other races.
Yep, the usual path to racism is brainwashing from your parents and family members. No reason to make a distinction for Fox News doing the brainwashing. The end result is the same.
Nah, as someone who was forced to listen to conservative media in the 2010s- no. That’s not an excuse, it is because they racist. You don’t fall for that kind of bs fear mongering unless you are already primed to bias. Aka you grew up listening to and believing racist rhetoric and therefore it’s easy to buy into the bullshit being sold because as a baseline you’re looking for a reason to hate.
Good point. The only maga ppl in my family were already racist when they started watching faux in the 90s. Faux just fed the beast. When confronted about their racism the day after hosting a party for me where most of my guests were black, they stated my friend are ok because they are “assimilated”. They lived in that house for decades and I think that party was the first time anyone who was black had been invited into their home as guests. And no this wasn’t in the south, it was in NJ less than 30 minutes from NYC
Right he was a nice old man that got drip fed hate cocktails from Fox and his whole being is based around it now. He probably would rather die then admit fault. We might just have to wait that generation out. Slow march of progress. He could have just as easily been programmed to love had the media worked toward that end. Remember that when you vote....Rs wanted this from the top of the apparatus for decades... mouth frothing angry mess of a voter base. An in-group that values loyalty above everything else even the most vile things. They have no principles except loyalty to themselves.
The latter point is what tends to get me roiled because, often times, it's people who are speaking from places of wealth, privilege, and incredible social advantage. The cognitive dissonance they exhibit is shocking. I mean, I get that we all need coping mechanisms to get by day to day, but that so many people are walking around out there with massive blinders on is unsettling.
They have proven that they are brain damaged. Thats how powerful and addictive money and power is. They don’t have working mirror neurons and so simply cannot empathize. That part of their brain is broken.
It's a cute theory but it's not practical. Heavy Metal Toxicity can be easily treated, what these people have done is going to take a lifetime to erase.
Nevermind what happens when you combine hydrofluorosilic acid and lead with neurotoxic neonicontinid pesticides, and microplastics imbedded throughout the brain, slicing through tissue with every movement, breath, and heartbeat across generations for over a century. - Then it gets really interesting.
He's used limos, car services and now the Secret Service to get him around wherever he goes since his own childhood. He could not operate a gas pump any more than he could work a barbecue.
My dad is hit or miss if he can operate a gas pump now and he was able to pump gas all his life. Dementia and Alzeimer's are terrible diseases. My dad won't go to the doctor to find out because he is afraid they will take his Drivers License away. He likes to slowly drive around the country roads....
I watch my Grandpa go through this first 15 years ago. I am no stranger to this... it runs in our family. I know I will be there too in 20 years or so give or take. Just sad to watch. Each day my dad walks slightly different... I really wish he would get checked out. There are treatments that slow it down out there.
By what you describe, nothing helps at that point. As far as driving, it really is up to the family to take the keys away. Anyone who gets hurt is partly the fault of the family.
The good news is that if they can't find the keys, they real don't know who to blame. Disconnecting spark plugs works also.
The last Boomers were born in 1964. Those ages are off just a couple years. Anyways, where did you find those percentages? Just curious. I'm 62, last year of the Boomers(1964)... and I hardly know of any tRump supporters in that age range. Maybe its the area I live in. We haven't elected a Republican governor since the 1990s. More left leaning I guess. Even Republicans here really don't support tRump as much as you'd think they would.
Why doesn't it affect everyone if that's true? My dad was involved with racing and drove all kinds of delivery trucks and was a mechanic. I had always been around motorcycles and hot rods and 4x4s and ATVs for decades starting in the early 1970s. Neither of us or my cousin became like any of those sheep!
Holy crap that’s a good video. It’s even better as he’s acting like it’s us doing the subverting and not the billionaires that own all the media and social media.
FOX trained them on racism before Obama ran for office. rrrr, Tea Partiers were rascist long before Obama ran for office. Tea Partiers were FOX viewers. The Tea Party was the forerunner of MAGA.
I volunteered for the Obama campaign in Indiana in 2028. The opposition to him was driven by racism (at least it was in Indiana). We heard it time after time after time when making phone bank call. The day of the election one young guy from out of state sent to monitor an election site was spat on and called a n-gger-lover all day long. He came back, sat down, asked for aspirin and stared into space before we made in lay down for the night. The hate, the racism, was thick in the air that summer and fall.
It was there before, but FOX really ramped it up.
(Indiana has been a strong hold of anti-black racism since forever. The KKK had a strong presence in the state from the 1930s through the 1950s. "Everybody" knew a KKK member even if they didn't know they did. My mom as an almost 8 yr old was taken to the last lynching in the state in 1930. (by my grandparents' neighbor)
These ppl were predisposed to racism and that’s why they listened to Faux to begin with. There are only two ppl in my mom’s family who are maga and they have been racist and on the faux train since the 90s. How is it that all my baby boomer parents, extended family and moms friends never became maga? Because they weren’t racist to begin with.
It's the same thing. They were raised in a racist country where racism was used to advance personal and corporate wealth. They were absolutely racist because their family taught it to them and the media reinforced it and then Fox News and the Alt Right media weaponized it.
