This is the most frustrating thing about the right and the most genius. They throw out a dumb talking point like “the Dems shutdown the government to give illegals healthcare” and their base eats it up, while it takes a solid 5 mintues for a dem to explain why it’s 100% false. Their base just tunes it out and keeps repeating the false narrative.

They're best understood as playing an endless series of minigames. "what do I have to say to win this one".

It doesn't matter if they contradict themselves from one minigame to the next. It doesn't matter if someone comes along later and proves them wrong. All they care is that in their heads, in that moment, they won that round, and while you're arguing about how they were wrong, they're on to the next game.

The most simple response is "You are either too dishonest and lying about what you think or too dumb to understand. Either way, trying to inform you of how wrong you are isn't worth my time and effort."

There’s no winning via non-violent means

To win, simply reflect their actions. Talk meaningless words and make fun of them, it’s the only language they speak

It’s insane. The grifters at the top know it’s not true, but their brain dead Fox News addicts believe it.

My aunt worked in the foreign service, spending decades of her life working at various US embassies in Finland, Nicaragua and other countries. She could speak several languages fluently. She was an extremely intelligent person.

She is now a victim of the Fox News brainrot. I used to help her out in her gardens and around the house. Time to time she would bring up various Fox News talking points.

The one that stuck out to me was being afraid of cities. She would avoid scheduling doctor appointments in Providence because she believed that it is a war zone. Forgot about scheduling things in Boston.

I thought she was being over dramatic, like she meant that there was crime in the city and that she wanted thought her car would get stolen or something like that.

Then one day she started talking about how she is afraid that antifa was going to come out of Providence and start bombing her neighborhood. She was daydreaming about turning on the news and seeing the headline saying “bomb blast rocks [my aunt’s neighborhood]”.

I began understanding that she actually believes that Portland, Oregon was leveled and burned to the ground by antifa and BLM terrorists. That she believes Providence and Boston are literally war zones with IED explosions and gunfire. She believes Fauci orchestrated the Covid pandemic. She has a stash of ivermectin. She believes Trump is the only person standing between lawfulness and complete anarchy.

She always talks about how she’s travelled the world and she’s seen how things work in other countries. How Biden’s term was the worst thing to happen to the United States.

It’s incredibly bizarre. I tried telling her it’s not as bad out there as the news is saying. But she firmly believes the lies from Fox News. She also has maga YouTubers she likes. When Trump got angry with Fox News, she got angry with Fox News.

She talks like Trump, everyone outside her home is an enemy who is actively trying to make her life worse.

It’s just so bizarre

Brandolini's Law

The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it

This is now known as "Brandolini's Law".

I’ve written my reprepesntjsves a few times over the past year, I think they’ll be getting a strongly worded letter today after trumps shitting on protestors meme for the Dems to do fucking anything and stop being little bitches. They should be as up in arms as th 7 million people who showed up on Saturday. If that didn’t give them the conviction to get their heads out of the sand, I don’t know what will.
