re: #47 A Mom Anon

I have a page on this from years back. Basically, the wingnut mindset is programmed by fear. From an early age, it’s drilled into us that we listen to the authorities God gave us, or there WILL be hell to pay. (Either now or later, depending on the authority being crossed.) From there, everything follows in a logical fashion: If you make them afraid of something, they will listen to anything you have to say on that subject, without question. Therefore, the end goal of all right-wing media is to figure out how to package the latest outrage to make their programmed robots afraid of it.
