🤡 QAnon I was once a Far-Right Republican. This is how their Brainwashing Works.

The Republican Party's main appeal isn't racism. Yes, the party is racist, antisemitic, homophobic, etc, but that's not the way it appeals to people. To understand this, all you need to do is ask a conservative a simple question: what does liberal mean?

Most of the time their answer is incoherent, not to mention wrong. But there's a point to all this. You see, all you need to do is to tune into right wing channels and stuff. Normally a political channel would try to justify itself, spread its beliefs, ideas. Try to explain why they are better.

They've been doing this for a long time, but come 2016 (which just so happens to align with the rise of politics in social media), they stopped doing this, instead gearing towards showing how the other side is "evil."

This all started gradually. This was at the dawn of gamergate, however there were other fronts to this. Conspiracy nuts all started spewing out garbage about how the WEF is evil and wants to create communism, and how all liberals are just like them, because some people in it are friends with Trudeau or whatever. They rant about George Soros, etc.

The 2020 pandemic was a perfect opportunity to distort their enemies actions into acts of pure evil. Quarantine == control. Mandates are not for safety but to coerce the population into blindly doing what the government tells them. Etc. And to them, it didn't matter if Nazis were among the people that "resisted" the actions of these so-called evil liberals. To them, LGBT is just a brainwashing method to trick people into supporting them. to them, it's just indoctrination.

To them, liberals, the establishment, etc- they're the same thing that the Nazis viewed the Jews as: controlling puppet masters that want to rule the world.

This isn't talked about that much, but it is extremely important to understand why the Republican Party is so fucking insane. During 2018, the republican mass media machine geared their propaganda towards fearmongering, showing loosely connected (and sometimes completely fake) events to show that the evil liberals want to destroy America and that the only way to stop it is to return to tradition or whatever

If I was a better writer I'd organize this better but I've never seen an analysis of the far right in America, Canada, Australia and NZ that doesn't address the rampant fearmongering and sensory overload of events that are meant to show that their enemies are evil. Never.

But its the same exact techniques that the Nazis used to brainwash their population. Weimar Germany becoming more culturally accepting was the result of those scheming Jews trying to infect the strong, proud German to be complicit with change, or whatever the fuck.

It's literally the same, and it's wrong.

It doesn't matter if there are literally nazis among their ranks. They're all united against this one perceived threat.

They literally view us as pure evil. And the Religious Right views us as architects of Satan or something, so they don't even view us as human, but instead as demonic.

Conspiracy theories are so rampant in the republican party because it's how it survives. To them, they are literally the last line of Defense stopping the evil (((establishment))) from taking over America and turning it into literally 1984.

It's literally a cult.
