This isn't about the legions of alternative universe QAnon deep staters, the Cesar Sayocs and MAGA bombers and Proud Boy terrorist groups and such, that have been bred for years, or your Fox News chain email uncle or diner country in Missouri, or stroked-out, addled idiots like the President of the United States of America. No, this is a thread about FOx News brain taking over formerly normal and high-functioning, if disingenuous, brains and permanently altering their perception with years and years of garbage, so that the Fox News Extended Universe becomes so pervasive that they lose the thread of reality, and make dumb decisions based on Fox news reality, rather than reality reality. Here's a good example, one of FOx's "hard news" personalities, Brett Baier speculating that.....independent voters are goign to come back to Trump because ....Glenn Greenwald, resigned/was fired from The Intercept I mean like lol, I don't even know where to start with this. Others who may have Fox News Brain - Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, William Barr Examples to follow maybe
You neglected to mention the majority of conservatives on Facebook and other social media sites (e.g. this one)
So, Fox News always had a cynical, carnie like aspect - hey let's leverage the rubes to get tax cuts and all our other priorities - from Ailes et al. Fox News Brain though is so powerful it seems like it's starting to affect the carnies as well as the audience? Like, Fox News Brain was supposed to be powerful enough to get people to vote for Trump, not to get Trump randomly spouting off about Fox News Fan Fiction that nobody's ever heard of at Presidential debates that people have to write Explainer journalism pieces on: A guide to all the nutty things Trump said that you'd need FOx News Brain to understand
My wife's grandfather is life long Republican in his 90's who grew up in Wyoming and became a small town doctor in California and lives in a retirement home in the same community where he retired. He despises Trump and complains that he is surrounded by Trump supporters. As I thought about why his trajectory was so different than others in his cohort, I realized it was that he never started watching Fox News. He only watches sports on TV and gets his news from the newspaper. That's it. That's the difference.
I know this is the wrong thread, but it’s still an important question: is his name Brian? I am thinking no.
No, but on my Facebook feed, I read where that son of a b**** Joe Biden complained that his chili did not have any beans in it.
