It was Fox. Fox created a Maga Nation (without that name) and promised their maga god Messiah would come some day. In 2015 when Trump came down that escallator, FOX proclaimed Trump as their dude
Trump didn't even know the lyrics
Fox News was born after Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine in TV news broadcasts.
Fox was set up from the start to be a PROPAGANDA channel. To give PARTIAL and BIASED news. Not the full picture. They brainwashed 1/3 of American electorate over 3 decades
Long before Trump decided to run, Fox had been building a voter base for an ultra-conservative (and racist) candidate. Who would 'defend America in a war against Christmas' and who would 'build a wall' to keep brown people away etc. A cult of white men who feared a changing world
Trump was FLIRTING with this, what we know recognize as the Maga cult (#Cult45). He started his courtship with the Birtherism lies about Obama being born in Kenya - & Trump the fake Billionaire supposedly sent investigators to search Obama's birth certificate - remember all that?
The racist and RELIGIOUS nutters of the Maga cult were not naturally drawn to Trump. Many hated and feared Trump or despised him. But Trump was 'taught the lyrics' of how to speak to the Maga cult. The person who taught Trump to speak Maga was Stephen Miller from late 2015
Trump is an imbecile, his IQ is somewhere around 70. His favorite book (yes he does have one) is Hitler's Speeches. Trump tried early in 2016 to introduce 'Heil Trump' greetings and an mass public oath-swearing to Trump - his handlers quickly moved Trump away from that
Trump does not believe in Maga Trumpism but it is close enough to Trump's core values, he can live it - when coached. Which is why Stephen Miller is the longest-serving Trump staffer, still there today - and will get a Pardon. Miller is Trump's Maga whisperer. The Nazi Jew.
We need to understand, Trump did not create Trumpsm. He did not build a Maga nation. Fox (#FixFox) created this Frankenstein's monster who believes conspiracy theories, and is IMMUNE to facts - because Fox told them all other TV channels lie, and only Fox tells you the truth
After Trump is in prison, the Fox Maga nutter Cult45 will migrate to the worst bastard they can find. Imagine Ted Cruz merged with Matt Gaetz merged Gum Jordan merged with Florida Gov DeathSantis.
It is absolutely vital to #FixFox before 2022 else we'll get WORSE Trumps
For us to understand GOP split-up, we need to know, that Donald Trump did not create Trumpism. He barely knows the words to magaworld, & when he is called to testify, he will humiliate himself - in front of maga nutters. Who will blame - REPUBLICANS - because they are brainwashed
The GOP had accepted racists via George Wallace. They selected the extremist political position via Newt Gingrich. This paints them into a corner. Sarah Palin polluted the GOP base with conspiracy theories - and GOP did not stamp them out. Then FOX enabled a cult of a maga god
Now something like half of GOP member are so totally brainwashed, they will not abandon Trump even after he is in prison. And at least 20% of GOP had LEFT the party to go independent because they hated Trump. Independents will not be voting for the TERRORIST party.
Sound bad

I mean literally brainwashing. Please see psychological and sociological theories. I mean literally building a cult - that CANNOT FIND THE TRUTH
It is like the Branch Davidians (mass suicide)
Steve Bannon built this cult for Trump
I mean literally brainwashing. MOST OF YOU have relatives or friends who are inside the cult. They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot find the truth. They believe in their brainwashing.
PERFECTLY SANE even intelligent people can be brainwashed. It is not 'stupidity'
Yes MANY of the Trump #cult45 are gullible and some are mentally simple, many are lowly educated. BUT plenty of smart, educated, successful people have fallen into the cult - and like any cult - they cannot get out.
If you learn from the doctor, that you have cancer, that is spreading that cannot be stopped, but must be cut out, the sane thing is to cut out as soon as possible, to remove as little as possible? Right?
I showed you, that the GOP accepted racists into their midst (Wallace). Then they made deliberate decision to abandon fighting for the political center, and embrace extremist views (Newt). Then GOP fell in love with conspiracy theories (Sarah Palin) and locked into a cult (Fox)
All this makes the current GOP a FRINGE party, a natural MINORITY party that cannot win general elections and only can win those elections where the race is artificially in their favor (gerrymandering) or cheating (voter suppression etc).
Aka let's try to do SPD again, Sarah Palin's Disease. Sorry, my 2nd Thread was longer than I expected with Newt.
So now let's do Sarah Palin properly, in her own thread.
While George Wallace is the grandfather to Trump's run in 2016 (starting in 2015), there are not enough racist voters to win the election. Not even enough racists to win the NOMINATION of the GOP.
Trump needed to expand his support in 2015 & 2016. He needed INSANE voters.
The real prototype candidate to Donald Trump is Sarah Palin - a candidate so bad, she COST John McCain millions of votes in 2008 against Obama. Yes, exit polls are clear, for every 2 votes Sarah brought in to McCain she brought 3 votes to Obama. Net cost to McCain several MILLION
Looking at the coming split of the GOP, next up is the era right up to Trump announcing his run in 2015. What happened in the decades right up to that moment. We get SPD, Sarah Palin's Disease. Alas, there is no cure
I like to joke that the GOP got infected by SPD Sarah Palin's Disease but many have pointed out that no, the GOP became sick well before Sarah. And the root cause is Newt Gingrich.
The first corruption of GOP as a politically viable party came via Newt
When the GOP came off its immense power era (2 terms of Reagan, record-national support, leading to rare 3rd term by one-term Daddy Bush) - then came suddenly the populist Bill Clinton - who stole the Republican thunder and stole the MIDDLE GROUND of politics
So my Ph D treaties on Twitter, about how Trump split up the GOP. We start with history of course. And we go to the political era before Trump. To the origins.
No. Not Sarah Palin.
No. Not Newt Gingrich. The origins:
George Wallace, the last racist
So reality check to my younger Tweeps, some who do not know this. Up to the 1960s, it was the DEMOCRATIC party that was the racist party and the Republicans stood for equal rights. Yes that is true.
The South had 'Dixie-crats' who were KKK Nazis, Democrats who were openly racist
The last Racist to openly run for President to win some (Southern) states - was former Democrat - turned Independent, George Wallace.
Democrats threw the racists out of their party and embraced the minorities, with a passion. Today it seems impossible to imagine DEMs as racists
CHRISTIE: Donald, if you pardon your kids, they'll be forced to testify against you. And they will. You've trained them to be selfish. You know them. They'll bury you. You cannot be this stupid. It'd be the dumbest thing you could do
IVANKA: Daddy, don't pardon anyone who is not family. Not Manafort, not Giuliani and gosh, not that vile creep Stephen Miller. The more you pardon, the more there will be investigations. Keep pardons just within the family, Daddy.
DON JR: Sir, Ivanka testified in DC against you & Eric testified in NY. You can't trust them. Eric isn't even our blood. That freak was fathered by Gary Busey. Just pardon me
TRUMP: Should I pardon your scary wife, the Gargoyle?
