ANGRY KENTUCKY LOSER RILEY GAINES SPEWS ANGER ON THE HATE NEWS NETWORK!
WHO WATCHES THIS CRAP? It's just manure from a SORE LOSER!
Not informative! Not enlightening! Typical FAUX waste of time!
FOX NEWS = FAKE NEWS LIARS LOST $787 MILLION FOR THE LIES THEY SPEWED
ABOUT DOMINION & ELECTION DENIAL - KNOWING THEY WERE LIES!
NEXT IS SMARTMATIC'S LAWSUIT with similar claims.....
FAITHFUL FOX VIEWERS ARE SO POORLY INFORMED, TOO LAZY TO RESEARCH
FACTS!
THE FAKE NEWS FOX CULT SINGLE SOURCE THEIR PROPAGANDA TO THEIR DETRIMENT.....
Because this was publishsed by the INDEPENDENT, the WORLD knows this:
Tucker Carlson producer caught in Dominion texts calling Trump election deniers ‘cousin f***** terrorists’
‘The only clear cut evidence for voter fraud is the failed attempts from Trump,’ Fox executive writes
In 2017, JOHN DEAN wrote the following - worth reading in its entirety:
excerpt:
We know enough about authoritarian supporters from research, and history, to know it will be very hard to change their minds about the leader they adore.
- They are extremely ethnocentric, dividing the world sharply into people in their in-group, and automatically disliking all others. They feel politicians who promote minority rights and immigration discriminate against them. Donald Trump tells them they are right. He is their champion.
- They are highly dogmatic. They get their ideas from others in the in-group, especially from their leader, not from evidence and logic. They say there is no evidence that will make them change their minds. They’re quite comfortable believing “alternate facts.”
- They get great satisfaction from being part of a large movement. Being in a cohesive crowd at rallies thrills them because they silently tell one another, just by being there, that they are powerful and right. They create an echo chamber that reinforces the belief that all the good people think like they do.
- They severely limit their sources of information. They get the news that they want to get. This also produces an echo chamber when the news sources they trust are copying each other and relaying Trump’s message.
- They have highly compartmentalized minds. When an unpleasant truth forces its way into their awareness, they do not try to integrate the other things they believe with it. Instead they put it in a box and isolate it from the rest of their thinking, which proceeds as if the truth never existed.
Put all this together and you get an idea how hard it will be to change their minds about Donald Trump.
Altemeyer on Trump’s Supporters
The legendary Jim Henson, who attended the University of Maryland, created the lovable Muppet character Kermit the Frog in 1955 when he was just 18 years old working at a local radio station. The iconic character ultimately became famous around the world, played by Henson on the Muppet Show and Sesame Street until his premature death in 1990. While PBS is under attack from the Trump Administration, Kermit was invited to give the commencement address at Maryland. Kermit thrilled the students who enthusiastically applauded the speech. He gave an uplifting message to the students and paid tribute to Henson (“He had a hand in everything I did”) and his wife Jane who died of cancer and also attended the school. Kermit ended the speech leading the graduates singing, ‘Rainbow Connection.’
Enter Fox News, and bitter former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who has desperately been seeking some kind of traction and relevance as a MAGA influencer by seeking to push culture war hot buttons in a low-brow, ham-fisted way since her 5th place finish at the 2022 NCAA Championships. Gaines was invited on Sean Hannity’s primetime show on Fox to vent fake outrage at Kermit. This is what she had to say: “Imagine being a 22 year old student who is graduating with a degree in aerospace engineering, and a fraud from the Muppets is on stage telling you to stay connected with your people. I mean, you can’t even make this stuff up. Instead of honoring entrepreneurs, or veterans or innovators they picked Kermit the Frog! We have students who are drowning in debt, struggling to find jobs, and universities are handing the mic to puppets. Not puppets like many Democratic elected leaders, a real puppet. It’s all theater. I see this as the same institutions who have been pushing political agendas and cancel culture now want to use a puppet to inspire students. It’s unserious, it’s out of touch, and frankly it’s insulting.” Maybe Riley should listen to Kermit: “As you prepare to take this big leap into real life, here's a little advice – if you're willing to listen to a frog. Rather than jumping over someone to get what you want, consider reaching out your hand and taking the leap side by side, because life is better when we leap together."
