Was failed to be mentioned there is they were not only doing that but they were installing the fear as well.

And that's the MAGAt's standard reply to anyone who contradicts them, ironically: "You must be MK-Ultraed!"

😢

This is our Democrat way, which is why we own the press and keep throwing out fakes and lies. It is awesome being a Democrat and having the news totally support our messaging. Ha ha to the Republicans.

and also in the 2000's. Started about 2015, I guess.

Foxnotnews made 1/3 of America hate 1/3 of America and another 1/3 of America not care at all.

Wow. Good thing that never continued, huh? It is amazing at the generated lies being spewed on many platforms. Just today, someone honestly claimed that around 50% of Canadians wanted to become the 51st state. This would be the same Canadians destroying tourist destinations in the US by boycott.

Many former POWs would disagree with this. Most of them were not only constantly bombarded with lies, but tortured and abused when they refused to believe it. It's not how much you're fed misinformation, it's how much you're willing to endure to stand up to your tormentors & call out their lies.

Fear cuts the critical brain because survival instincts bypasses it. This is why a community in dire distress is more vulnerable to manipulation. That is why there is soo much benefit in putting a basic income for everybody. There is no guilt involved and security gives ppl place to think

That process aka, 'Illusion of Truth' and 'Illusory Truth Effect'. Dems should use the same 'effective' technique. Trump's favorite: Lies wrapped in BS (pig in a blanket).

Rupert Murdoch certainly drove the point home at Fox.

oooOooOOoooOooo immigrants! ooOOOoooOoOoo black people! oooOOOoooOooo trans people!

just like the nazis did.

Why is most of this underlined in purple. Very distracting.

Source?

Every study on brainwashing and indoctrination of the human mind. 🤷‍♀️ You can Google it. There are tons of sources out there.

That's a warning for us to heed, too. Don't listen when people say we can't win, that Democrats are ineffective. Don't internalize their cynicism and fear.

I imagine scarey stories from the Bible did alot of brainwashing for many years and still going strong

Conservative types like to portray themselves as strong. They are the weakest, most scared people I have ever come across. Anyone who isn't 'them' are described as scary potential criminals and verging on subhuman. They are pathetic

The UK press have spent all of their time recently trying to convince people that Britain is 'a tinderbox' and 'on the verge of civil war'. They try to say that London is like Mogadishu on a bad day. It is all total bollocks. They are trying to forment rioting and disorder.

Krasnov learned well from his training

I won't be brainwashed. Fuck Trump and the GOP. Vote them OUT!!

As an informed American it’s important to note, this statement is unproven in many respects; as something anyone said, as an experiment that existed, and as an outcome in just two months or longer, for that matter. Again, not disproven, just unproven. Read more here: www.snopes.com/fact-check/1...

We think this seems plausible. Seems objectively difficult to confirm very much about top secret KGB spy craft.

It definitely seems believable. But I like facts, not anti-propaganda propaganda. Thank you for posting.

It does. Regrettably for-profit traditional media and social media also measure success through audience size and viewership is often attained through fear. (And apologies for the prior deleted reply, late drinks and I misread)

Thank you.

Sounds familiar

Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda. All that matters is propaganda. Joesph Goebbels

Many of us knew this in 2001.

We’ve been bombarded with trump and his maga repubs’ fear messages for over a decade!

the bigger the better en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie

And it worked.

And yet… I can still retain a rational thought so…

Fox Not does this trot. Over and over and over again. #FoxNot

Welcome to the democrat party! They took over the socialist and communist party. You’re welcome!

Mark Twain that a century earlier

Oh yeah. Fear and Anger are both parts of fight or flight. They get into the most primitive parts of your brain. It's why military boot camps are traumatic as well. Same thing.

Fight, Flight, or Freeze.

That only works on uneducated people, and educated person gets annoyed you’re still being stupid. Nothing brings down a strong mind…..that’s why they started dumbing down Americans in the late 80s…. And here we are.

That's not true. In fact, people who think they're immune to propaganda are often easily led.

“They” = Conservatives

"Dune" with some unexpectedly solid advice for preserving democracy:

Where did you dig up the Fox News business plan?

Sounds like Fox and exactly what happened to my entire family. 🤮

Hitler and Goebel did that in the 30's and 40's. The GOP has embraced this for decades; they are disgusting immoral creatures.

It's as old as time.

Rush Limbaugh Fox News, and it's offspring Alex Jones Every single right wing podcaster -FASCIST BRAINWASHING-

Well I guess that’s how maga was brainwashed.

Was it called the FOX experiments?

I am not having it.

Does this also work if we bombard MAGAts with the truth? So tired of people willingly believing lies.

The second paragraph is just a sentence fragment.

Fox news has been doing it for decades And we're seeing the consequences of their attack on our country now with how corrupt republicans are and continue to be. And to be clear, it is an attack on our country led by narcissistic racist billionaires trying to get rid of democracy.

That sounds oddly familiar…. Hmmm 🤔 I wonder why…?

#MAGA is certainly a modern day case history for human trials.

The Nazis did the same thing. “Tell a lie often enough…”

Sounds like what Fox News has been doing for decades.
