1) Russian disinformation doesn’t act upon opinion. It acts upon people’s perceptions, by building narratives created to be compatible with their existing perceptions. Here you can see why this is an extremely effective method. Let’s continue.⬇️
2) Because of this you see below, you can see why Russian disinformation that assimilates itself into MAGA perceptions is very difficult to defeat. Notice how the Hurricane Helene disinformation continues despite govt attempts to stop it. Let’s keep going⬇️
3) Here’s the entire article. When Russian disinformation becomes indistinguishable from MAGA ideology, then it becomes part of the accepted set of perceptions. Therefore, MAGA views criticism of Russian disinformation as an attack on MAGA itself. Let’s keep going⬇️
4) See that circled part? That’s how some subtle and constant inputs of Russian disinformation acts upon influencing MAGA perceptions. It becomes “normal” and they don’t detect anything markedly different. Thus, they trust what they’re told. Let’s keep going⬇️
5) Here you can see why Russian disinformation created to assimilate into existing MAGA perceptions doesn’t need to be based on reality. So you can say, “the govt controls the weather” and no matter how absurd it sounds, it will be believed no matter what. Let’s keep going⬇️
6) So once disinformation is absorbed into the existing perceptions, it influences thoughts, then attitudes, then behavior. This would be key if you were trying to, for example, incite civil unrest or disorder. Or, at the least, resistance to the federal govt. Let’s keep going⬇️
7) You present a false view of the world to match their existing perceptions. They recognize it as “their own” and eventually this leads to action. People refusing help from FEMA, for example. Russia proved this disinformation weapon works during Hurricane Helene. Also⬇️
8) Russian disinformation creates its stimuli to be compatible with the existing biases of MAGA within MAGA perceptions. Then the way MAGA interprets events will be based upon that. Therefore, FEMA=fed govt=bad=resist FEMA. Let’s keep going⬇️
9) By assimilating itself into perception, Russian disinformation becomes a psychological weapon. It can quite possibly destroy or seriously damage the social cohesion towards civil society of those who succumb to what it says and tells them to do. Let’s keep going⬇️
10) Look at this one again. If you create a psychological weapon that assimilates into the existing perceptions of the target group, not even reality can necessarily change those perceptions. That’s why you see absurd things believed despite evidence to the contrary. Because⬇️
11) As we saw here, once the psychological weapon has been successfully assimilated into the perceptions of the target group, you have these issues listed here. That is: The Russian disinformation is fully assimilated into MAGA perceptions and MAGA can’t tell the difference.
1) And now, here comes: Elbridge Colby, the Heartthrob of Georgetown days.
Yes, Colby has worked hard to omit references to his much younger years. But he forgot about this. I’ve been saving these for the right moment, and that moment is now. Let’s begin⬇️
2) Well, it seems that Colby has always been on the high society who’s who lists for his entire life. Yes, he was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. Or, more accurately, a forked tongue. But let’s continue⬇️
3) Handsome Harvard? Yes, well, that’s Georgetown nightlife amongst the political and economic elite and their kids. Surely you’ve seen the HBO series “The Gilded Age” by now? This is the same thing, except in the 21st century. Let’s continue⬇️
1) There’s an ugliness in America that has always existed. The reason it has always existed to the present is some people wanted to deny it existed. But, in fact, it has always been here. Somewhat dormant at times, but always present. Always ready for resurgence. And⬇️
2) You see that this has now become acceptable for politicians to engage in again. Everyone who is not like them is hated and treated like they don’t belong here. And this turns the alleged ideals of America into a very cruel lie and begs this question: Do those ideals exist?⬇️
3) America has yet to prove that highlighted phrase to be true. Due to Republican backsliding, we are farther from manifesting that than ever before. And why? Because America knows better, but chooses the path of hatred and intolerance instead. Thus, making the phrase a lie.⬇️
1) You’ve seen this being repeated by GOP politicians? The fact is, this is a strange causal loop between Homeland Security and Breitbart “News”. See that circled link from the DHS article citing “new statistics”? I’ll show you where that link takes you when you click on it.⬇️
2) It takes you here and tells you that you’re headed to Breitbart. So if you click on YES, it takes you to⬇️
3) And so Homeland Security directs you here. And where are the “new statistics”? Let’s see that next⬇️
1) Since Trump and GOP will brag about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, let me say this: President Jimmy Carter is the one who made it possible. Yes, the Jimmy Carter who Trump disrespected by ordering flags returned to full staff after Carter died. Let’s continue⬇️
2) Those Tomahawk cruise missiles? That was also President Jimmy Carter. Did Trump say thank you for having the B-2 bomber and the Tomahawk cruise missiles? Let’s continue⬇️
3) That bomb that was used? That was President Obama. Did Trump say thank you? He still can, you know. He needs to pick up the phone, call Obama, and say thank you. Let’s continue⬇️
1) Now I will prove that the racist policies of the US government are what led up to the “illegal aliens” the racist Trump govt is whining about. What created the need for labor imported from Mexico? The racist internment of Japanese Americans did. Let’s continue⬇️
2) What was the Bracero Program? Well, it was necessary for the war effort in World War Two, for one thing. The US govt put Japanese agricultural laborers into concentration camps. But what it did was establish Mexican labor as the predominant agricultural labor force. And⬇️
3) What led up to Japanese agricultural labor? Well, another racist law by the US government did: The Chinese Exclusion Act. That law created a labor shortage. So, as you see, racist US laws do nothing but create problems. Because the laws are hatched in ignorance. And⬇️
