I spend a lot of time trying to warn people about this. Let's say it clearly and concisely.

The American Right is captured in a dangerous, manufactured alternate reality where they're convinced their fellow Americans are engaged in a conspiracy that requires fascistic measures.
This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's the dangerous consequence of years and years of manipulation by the GOP, Right Wing media, and corporate actors.

It didn't begin with Trump, but it is escalating with him because he's completely unbothered by the deadly consequences.
These videos you're seeing of people freaking out in stores and restaurants, screaming about Antifa and plots by the illuminati, they're louder than some of the Right, but this is honestly the prevailing opinion of the Right.

They literally believe this stuff. Don't doubt it.
If you missed it, here's my deep-dive into the history of how the Right Wing constructed this alternate reality of conspiracy theories that legitimizes fascistic responses.

Learn this stuff, because we're in the middle of a national crisis.
