I meant to include climate change in the original thread.

As difficult as it is to accept, similar to the other issues laid out in the thread....does anyone believe climate change will be mitigated under the authoritarian aspirations of the Republican party?

No, it won’t.

1/
The contradiction: millions of people on the Right who've been "activated" by Bannon....and who, after decades of supporting/protecting corporations, now suddenly want to tear down the system & all of the exploitive actors who've profited.....2/

.....is that after decades of manipulation, they continue to cling to most damaging/threatening narrative.....created by one of the richest/most exploitive industries/corporations (fossil fuel)....that either funds some of the most anti-American regimes (Russian/Middle East)...3/
....or cedes renewable energy innovation and manufacturing to anti-American regimes like China. 4/

And yet, somehow the suddenly "awakened", red pill/blue pill, "American First" crowd that believes that a global cabal of elites and mega corporations (Big Pharma) sadistically intends to depopulate the planet.....5/
....while remaining completely oblivious or in denial of applicability of that narrative the climate change issue, and the fossil fuel industry.

This thread was written the day after Trump's covid "hoax" rally. It was the first of 70+ covid threads: 6/

A recent Trump rally was a sobering reminder of what’s at stake in 2022/2024.

In his speech, Trump openly attempted to obstruct justice, tampered w/witnesses, and, similar to the 1/6 insurrection, encouraged widespread “protests” if he was indicted. 1/
Seemingly every week, there is new evidence further exposing the orchestrated attempt by Trump/GOP to undermine democracy.

And yet, it’s Republican voters who overwhelmingly believe democracy is facing a major threat. 2/ grinnell.edu/news/52-americ…
The absurdity of this is that Republican voters’ belief that democracy is threatened is what actually creates the threat:

Trump’s/GOP’s lies about the 2020 election have manipulated Republicans into thinking it’s patriotic to “steal it back”, & therefore undermine democracy. 3/

An interesting study is linked in @michelleinbklyn's article on how politics negatively affect mental/physical health. The study utilized self-report instruments used to measure Alcohol/Gambling addiction...which is unsurprising based on the parallels: 1/
Specifically, the study found: 2/

I've previously analyzed the multitude of factors that affect political impulse control, including social media "addiction"-related sleep deprivation that hyper-activates the amygdala (emotion), & deactivates the prefrontal cortex (reason/judgment).... 3/

"Now we'll really prove the election was stolen".

The political/election version of rapture prophecies that just keep moving the promised date/outcome farther down the line, with "the delusional, non-occurring predictions reinforcing belief in the conspiracy".

I watched 3 hours of the Joe Rogan interview Dr. Robert Malone. Some observations about Malone, Rogan....and the complexities involving Covid/vaccines, “truth”, cancel culture, Big Pharma, the tribalization of science, political disinformation, and the “Trump effect”: 1/
First, it reinforces how catastrophic it was to have someone as pathologically dishonest as Trump as POTUS when Covid surfaced. I analyzed this extensively in the 70+ threads written between Trump’s covid “hoax” rally, and the 1/6 insurrection. 2/
Trump lies like he breathes.

As a result, he not only convinced roughly half the country that they couldn’t believe a word he said…

...but he also convinced the other half of the country that they couldn’t believe anything anyone else said (“fake news”). 3/

"...One of the overlooked factors of Qanon: there’s an interactive, crowd-sourcing component where people compete, receive a “reward” (dopamine) for being the *cleverest*, connecting the furthest dispersed dots, & for (most absurdly) advancing the “story” the furthest/quickest."
