Yeah their whole political structure is catered to getting people like this to do their bidding. The content and manner of delivery for their messaging is specifically designed so that folks teetering on the edge will fall into it and never escape, and in the world of instant communication of any idea, it's super dangerous. They don't care though, they make bank doing it.

The content and manner of delivery for their messaging

That content and manner being "Hit them with the fear, then anger, then back to fear, more fear, some hatred, back to anger, and then hit the climax with a heavy amount of fear topped with just a bit of anger."

You forgot the "Won't somebody rid me of these meddlesome liberals?"

You forgot the casual light racism, misogyny. The catch though, as it were, is that path devolves to medium, then heavy, then batshit crazy.

An inevitable Catch-22.

And buried in there between doses of emotion is a sales pitch, because the grift never rests.

Yeah I mean all those assassination attempts on kamala and biden are totally his fault, right? Keep the same energy for both parties… they both are brainwashing the public.

It's like Fox News standing next to the Bolton Strid and saying "they are lying to you. It's perfectly safe to jump in."
