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.
