    I started listening to AM radio and Fox News (their stream) to understand them. These people arent even the worst strain of propaganda consumer. But they get it from one of the two schools of austrian economics.

    But even morally bankrupt people still believe in the truth. Like no matter how capitalist someone is, the Epstein connection to Trump is not going away. The money itself is not proof that someone doesn’t diddle children

      Maybe, but to them the money makes it okay that Trump diddled children.

      Morally bankrupt people will believe in whatever “truth” best serves their interests.

        It depends on whether they hear about the abuse from their in-person social networks. the propaganda networks will never cover what trump has been doing to children

        While there are right wing cults that will accept pedophiles as their leaders, for the majority of those who watch propaganda channels, child rape is the only crime they won’t abide. It goes back to their foundational beliefs on abortion.
