Turns out Reagan was the worst president in the history of the United States (so far), but we just started to enter the Find Out stage over the past 10 years.

Eliminating the Fairness Doctrine is one of the unsung culprits for how we ended up here.  It allowed broadcasters like Fox to spread propaganda 24 hours a day.

Repeat something enough times and people will start to believe it 

Mix that with an exhaustive laundry list of horrible policies, stick it in the oven for 40 years and voila you get dystopia.

Well, at least we have an easy way to figure out who the traitors are now.  

If you tell anyone the Republican Party is putting the interests of Russia over those of America, and they argue with you, you have a traitor.

They'll just say you're the traitor for not supporting America, i.e., Dear Leader.

I'm a child of the 80s, in some ways a child of Ronald Reagan, who grew up viewing Russia as the enemy of America and its ideals of democracy and freedom, with Reagan as the figurehead of America's use of global power and influence to keep Russia in check.  And that pro-America/anti-Russia sentiment permeated throughout our film culture -- Red Dawn, Rocky IV, Firefox, Hunt for Red October, The Day After, Spies Like Us, etc. . . . .  Shit, I ate it up as a kid, and before I had any sense of political awareness and intellect, I identified as Republican until somewhere in the middle of college in the 90s.

And it wasn't just my generation and the 80s.  This was prevalent in the 60s and 70s as well.  Think the Cuban Missile Crisis that many of our parents experienced in high school or college.

So it's utterly fucking mystifying how that same party of Reagan, those conservatives who grew up with anti-Russian policies and attitudes, knowing that you just cannot get into bed with those communist oppressive oligarch mother fuckers, seem to have no problem whatsoever with (1) Putin's unprovoked, unjustified, and reprehensible invasion of Ukraine, and (2) Trump's gargling of Putin's balls seeking "peace" and an end to the war that doesn't appear at this point to accept any input from THE COUNTRY THAT WAS FUCKING INVADED and may be all or mostly on Putin's terms.  

This is fucking unreal.

Back in the early days of Trump’s first term, I was talking to a guy that wasn't a Trump supporter but was a Republican and a big consumer of right wing media. Out of the blue he started musing about what was so bad about Trump’s position on Russia.

This guy was Air Force intelligence in the 80's in the Reagan era and talked shit about Russia when reminiscing about his service. When he mentioned Trump and Russia maybe not being a bad idea I brought up his activities during the Cold War and how he personally felt about the Russians. He acknowledged his dislike for Russia but then followed up with unsureness about where he stands.

You could see the cognitive dissonance enveloping him in real time.

Its all about having an enemy. The enemy in Reagan's time was the USSR, communism, etc. Then the USSR fell, we won! and a new enemy was needed. 

For a while drugs, were the enemy, but drugs were never defeated, so we moved on to...

Enter liberalism, the new enemy. Putin and Russia are about as illiberal as it gets, so they are not only the enemy, they are allies, in this new war. 

 

I think it begins with the grooming christians do their kids. Faith. Belief. No proof needed.

One of my favorite lyrics is by Jason Isbell. “Don’t question just believe”

Once your brain is conditioned to this, it’s apparently transferable to other facets of your life. Breaking out of this mindset requires significant self reflection and self awareness.

I was brought up church of christ. We looked at the baptists like they were looney liberals. It was at some point in college where the fever broke, critical thinking set in, and I questioned “the truth”. There’s validity in the conservatives’ position that college drives people away from the church; the reason is that college develops critical thinking.

Religion teaches the enemy is the devil. Conservative thought thrives on having an enemy. Republicans’ enemy is the democrats. I went to OU (conservative) and the enemy was texas. aggy’s (conservative) enemy is texas. In my experience, the liberal mindset does not need an enemy to push forward.

And from about 10 to 35 years ago, Republicans would have lost their minds at this comment, because Reagan was the infallible one.  Now most of them barely even remember him.

It turns out that these people don't actually give a fuck about conservatism, or family values, or small government, or America, or Christianity, or anything else.  They just want to be told what to think, then to be told how correct they are for thinking it.

And some really bad people realized this fact, played the long game, set up the mother of all icebergs, and now they will loot this Titanic as she sinks.

Remeber the poster, I won't link him, but I think it was HellesBeer? He raised money, and went to Ukraine to deliver aid/supplies, but was also a full throated Trumper? When asked how he could support Trump when it was known he'd let Ukraine rot, he simply said "Trump's position on Ukraine isn't clear yet, but that would be really unfortunate." 

I wonder what lies that guy is telling himself right now.

The Trump as a lit match in front of a room full of pissed off bombs cartoon is Pulitzer worthy. It's only become more relevant.

When it was published during his first term I shared it in a group chat. Got called out by one particularly odious harpy I never really could stand. Severed what limited "friendship" I had with her. Never regretted it. She was the first MAGAt I disassociated from, and it's only become easier.

You can make an argument that USSR was never worthy of our enmity, or the degree we exhibited it; and certainly that the "anti-communist" fever that gripped the country for a half century or so was very wrongheaded and led to a lot of misadventures (e.g. Vietnam, Central America and so on).

But, even if you accept that, Russia has a long history of illiberalism, autocracy, brutality, and repression that they have never escaped and are a natural poltical/philiosophical enemy, regardless of the current regime.  Putin just makes that worse.  The notion that they are a more Christian western power in a secular world is completely absurd.

Dumb people vote. Dumb people now have billboards aka social media where they can shout dumb shit to each other. Our enemies learned that if you market to dumb people's primal nature and fears (racist, sexist, homophobic, reading), you can basically ruin the country. Yay for democracy run by dumb people.

My Church of Christ grandma told me (a child) point-blank that her daughter (my mom) and all of our family were going to hell because we were Southern Baptist. Attending her nearby country church as a kid was made especially painful by the awkward-as-fuck way that every hymn started without instruments or universally understood downbeat.

It is astonishing to watch.  Sure, my usual suspects continue to post MAGA crap.  One, who is currently proudly morphing to her new maralago face, is kind of entertaining to watch.  But, it is seeping into people and places that surprise and scare me.  It is not just that there is little resistance; it is that some people from whom I expected resistance (or at least a little empathy), are diving right into the ugly pool.
