Here's what worries me

[dreamland]

In this.last election we lost a huge percentage to young men who voted. They did not vote on issues but rather image. They get it through their online games and ads that appear on their online forum. To them, it's not real, it's a power play. I'm concerned because these same men could be "recruited" into the reality of their power play. They are riding high in their ignorance. How soon would we expect to see tRump shirts on each of them ratting our their own friends and families. It's a start of the movement to brainwash them for a GOP Republic. When democracy dies, who will rise?

1. With that and the modern Media (Owned by the right-rich)..it might already be happening.

I have no joy saying the above.

2. Yes. The most valued segment of the RW republic will be able-bodied males who are loyal to the cause.

Women are to be subservient to them. The old and weak will have few protections.

4. I keep saying, they have a team

Team fan base mentality. Culty, yep. But once you get folks to buy in with merch, it is hard to jump to another team. Take it from a giants fan.

They are glammy, their 'news' anchor women layer on the makeup. Heck, look at how boebert dresses half the time. It's a circus show, a spectacle. We are the lecturing parents or brainy librarians telling them to study and not drive gas guzzling trucks and to play nice. They are the parent who throws them candy, we are the parent telling them to brush their teeth.

Plus they dole out fear and loathing. Hate someone else so you can not hate yourself and the things in your life that tick you off.
