This is pretty much how Republicans operate. They live in a world where they are sure Democrats are cheating which justifies their own dishonesty and they try to prove that Democrats are bad by doing the bad things they assume Democrats are getting away with.

They are brainwashed. This is a trailer for a fantastic movie I just watched on Amazon Prime called The Brainwashing of My Dad. I have heard that it is also available on Hulu. It really explains how we got here and what we are dealing with.

Relevant for any Prime member.

> In their mind they have no reason to, they are financially comfortable and everyone else can just fuck off to them.

I found this on Amazon by accident looking for a different documentary...

I find that it helps explain the mentality. It doesn't fix or change anything (except for the guy who they changed, and his entire family and all of his friends I guess).

He watches too much Fox News

I'm in the same boat dude, my dad has gone off the deep end.

Unfortunately he can't be talked to. And when this is all over the 65,000 arrests don't happen, etc etc, he'll just move on to the next conspiracy.

Have you seen The Brainwashing of My Dad? I wonder if you could get your Grandad to watch it. My Dad was brainwashed the same way the old guy in this video was.

The Zeitgeist is hyper tuned to Russia, almost to the point of whispers. You can feel it walking around public places. The Coehn/Trump Klan is the wedge and hammer tactic. Plant an idea, make it up, whatever.. then just hammer it on Foxic (rhymes with toxic) News for a few weeks, see if it sticks, then put another wedge in. This is Putin's strategy to split this country. Watch Brainwashing Dad (FREE on Amazon with ads)

If you ever get a chance, check out the documentary called "The Brainwashing of My Dad". Just confirms what we already know, but worth watching. https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFDM6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526407169&sr=8-1&keywords=brainwashing+of+my+dad

This is worth watching, especially for those of us who have parents or family members who suddenly seem to have lost their minds.

> most of the (Fox News) viewers are super successful people and smart in business. It’s amazing to watch.

Dude, WTF are you smoking? Don't confuse an exceptionally high viewership among the elderly with "super successful people and smart in business". Elderly people are notoriously fearful of any change and distrustful of minorities, so they like Fox News because it feeds these fears and distrust and tells them they're right and everyone else is wrong.

This is not something "super successful people and smart in business" crave. This is what your racist uncle craves, and just because he grew up in a better economy and has had longer time to save and invest doesn't make him "super successful people and smart in business".

It just makes him old, fearful and bitter with a better retirement account.

You admit though, that your dad really fell under their spell after he had a stroke, so you're saying that in his weakened, debilitated state he found himself more mentally susceptible to the Fox News messaging?

You've proven my point.

To understand, watch The Brainwashing of My Dad, it's free on Amazon Prime.

You should ignore that article.

It was terrible. IDK who that kid was who wrote it, but he completely missed Obama's point.

Like, by a mile.

There's an interesting documentary on Prime called The Brainwashing of My Dad that explains how we got here, it is well worth watching.

There's also an episode of Frontline from this season, called Supreme Revenge that covers some of the same ground, and also looks at the Kavanaugh scandal.

It's not pleasant, but it helps to understand how our country went to shit.

It's all private industry's successful attempt to distract the electorate with a bullshit "culture war," while they steal everything.

For anyone that went looking for where to stream this, it's on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6AFDM6/ref=atv_feed_catalog

I don't know these movie websites don't say that or link to it, ever.

You may be interested in the documentary on Amazon The Brainwashing of My Dad.

Talks a lot about how Republican media shifted and became so toxic and full of crap resulting in it suckering in a lot of older people who thought they could trust the news. Same outcome in that story that the guy eventually saw through it after being exposed to less biased sources.

u/techbuzz · 2 pointsr/politics

This sounds eerily familiar to the recent documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad. It is streaming free with Amazon Prime.

A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.

available on amazon as well

I think what gets underplayed with this thinking is the reason they're racist pieces of human garbage. This is due to years and years of exposure to extreme right-wing media, starting with Rush Limbaugh, through Fox News and now Breitbart and freaking InfoWars. They're brainwashed. It's not the most well-constructed doc ever, but The Brainwashing of My Dad does a pretty good job of illustrating the problem.

> Our populace is just dumb.

Brainwashed, not dumb. They're mentally conditioned.

I'm really thinking that it isn't helpful to say that people are dumb when it's possible for anyone to have fallen into that trap.
