Evangelicals, FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, Lies, Conspiracy Theories, Brainwashing, and Donald, “the Felon,” Trump


 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

If you share my love of country, have at least an average intellect, seek the truth, refuse to be lied to, and know the “real Donald Trump,” you are most certainly asking how Trump could have a single supporter in 2024.

It all began with Rush Limbaugh. His blatant lies in support of right-wing extremism began brainwashing the American people when his radio broadcast became nationally syndicated in 1988.

On October 7, 1996, the bastard child of Rupert Murdock and Roger Ailes began broadcasting. Using the misnomer of “FOX News,” their television broadcasts surpassed Limbaugh as the primary purveyor of lies and conspiracy theories in support of right-wing politicians. In reality, FOX is a propaganda machine. Their mission statement includes “tell the people what they want to hear,” report everything, true or false which favors the conservative position on the issues, and focus on sensationalism. Sensationalism attracts viewers, and increased viewership results in increased advertising revenue.

2016 AND CHRISTIAN HYPOCRISY

During the 2016 presidential campaign, a group of religious leaders made a decision which I consider one of the most egregious acts of hypocrisy I have ever witnessed.

It was never a secret that Trump was a philanderer, a sexual predator, a lifetime criminal, and a pathological liar. This was of no importance to leaders of the Evangelical wing of the Christian religion. Trump promised them his support for the establishment of Christianity as the one, true American religion, in direct opposition to the first amendment.

In 2024 an even greater level of hypocrisy and depravity was revealed by the same Evangelical leader. Although Trump has been confirmed as one of the most evil men in the world, they are once again offering him their support.

WHAT WAS HIDDEN HAS BEEN EXPOSED

The only Americans who deny the truth about Trump are his most avid supporters. Refusing to accept reality, their responses to the truth, are, “I don’t believe it,” or “that’s a lie promoted by the liberal left.” They are brainwashed and unable to think for themselves.

Trump has followed the “playbook” of one of his heroes since 2015 when he declared his intention to win the Republican nomination for the presidency.

First, he follows Adolf Hitler’s example and belief that “if you tell a lie often enough the masses will accept it as truth.” In an effort to control which media his followers accept, he called all legitimate journalism and journalists “fake news,” while praising FOX and all other right-wing extremist broadcasts. He takes every opportunity available to appear strong and capable, although his affliction with malignant narcissism makes him weak and vulnerable.

Trump’s entire existence is founded on lies. Nothing you see is real. Trump despises his own supporters, privately referring to them as “basement dwellers.” Donald Trump is an illusion: he is not a man. He is a humanoid without morals, principles, or substance. He cannot be allowed to have a second chance to destroy our nation.
