Sorry to say, but this is probably true... Pretty sure they have kept their racism bottled up since they were kids because it was politically incorrect. Now they have the excuse they need to be the true a**holes they are
This isn't entirely true. A lot of this started with Fox News and two things they did. 1) brainwashing - show the same set of 30 second clips 20 times/hour. 2) pass off talking heads at night as news, when its opinion. People think Tucker, Hannity, etc. are news, not opinion. They believe that shit.
🤔Laziness? People need to consume long form media for balance. It's a commitment but it's critical. WSJ and NYT. Bloomberg instead of Fox Business. The short form media stuff feed via their search and social media info bubbles rots people's brains.😢
And there are some democrats pretending that all we need is a change in messaging and not being associated with “being woke”. What a complete underestimation of the scale and depth of the problem.
1 - Sadly, tRump and the MAGAts didn't arise spontaneously nor did the conditions for their prominence come about recently. The racism and bigotry has been with us throughout the history of the US. The outsize power of the wealthy has waxed and waned since our founding.
2 - The nativist "America First" movements go back to at least the Know Nothings along with the coupling of religious zealotry. The more recent weaponization of all this has been an ultra-wealthy conservative project for 50+ years e.g. The Heritage Foundation.
3 - Brick by brick over the decades they dismantled the protections and institutions from the Progressive era, the New Deal, and the Great Society to allow the 1٪ to amass unrivaled influence in government, industry, and media.
BUT we can still undo it and take back our future, together!
Many of us grew up thinking our country had healed from our history of slavery and racism. Trump ripped off the bandaid and allowed the abscess of filth that was hiding underneath to ooze out.
Can we just say, it's not just white people who are listening to racist and homophobic republican assholes, there are lgbtq members who believe in that shit, there are black and mexicans who listen to that shit and even women too. 1/2
We need to understand that it wasn't just white men, it was alot of different groups, people were genuinely tricked into believing trump would do goo things for america, hell I used to think that was back in like 2021. 2/3
When people are lied to without being informed of otherwise they tend to believe what they are told without proof, which is why education is absolutely needed to prevent dictators from being in office.
Also a problem that people who didn’t go looking for it are being fed it by algorithms that have no accountability beyond their ability to generate sessions/views/clicks
You hit it on the nose, his show has made it ok for those that have racist ideologies to gather. We need better laws/regulations around platforms like this show.
Its not really that simple. Joe rogan used to be intelligent and thoughtful before he found DMT and then started turning into what he is today. Him, like his audience, were seeking truth. Instead they found snake salesmen. And now.. magats are different though, they are just dumb and racist.
This characteristic of humans is why T admin is taking steps to censor media and all levels of education. Control of the narrative is a basic tenet of authoritarianism.

There are very few low or no information people out there that follow along with this out of ignorance.
It is all the Heritage Foundation and the evangelicals that joined them 50 years ago

Like someone said about Felon47 followers.
He is not their lighthouse leading them, but rather, their mirror.
It's like 25% of the population (22% of Americans voted for him, 30% of eligible voters).
A solid portion have already, or are going to #FAFO
I agree with you, BTW.
My point, simply: Don't let fear win. #USProtests
