That’s exactly the effect I’ve noticed. Add in the inability to admit you’ve been wrong, and instead make even more insane claims to support the stupid lies you believe, and baby you got a stew going.
I don’t even know how we counter it now, there are cracks in the vineer, sure, some people recognising the mistake in fomoing radical right wing ideas, the Epstein and ICE stuff in particular. But unless there are real steps taken to deradicalize media apparatuses, I don’t know, we’re still going in the wrong direction until the common folk can wrestle back power from those who benefit from us toppling our own best interests.
The culture war was all a psyop, meant to drive wedges between folk who had more in common with each other than the ones driving the wedges. The whole system of cruelty in healthcare, the cynicism it takes to witness school shootings and shrug, the pleasure in revoking basic humanity, all of it is in the benefit of monsters.
Even if we can wrestle back the narrative, even tomorrow, it would still take a very long time, and the ones stirring the chaos have so much power and so many resources that they can keep playing this game, while you and I are just struggling to keep our heads above the water.
