As Of 2020, The Republican Party Has Become The Party Of Conspiracy Theorists
Historic fact explains the methods Republican strategists have employed throughout the decades to mold the political mindset of the white Christian conservative working class. Part hate-mongering, part fear-mongering, and, for every election cycle, some new and dangerous foreign menace and/or segment of U.S. society that poses a serious threat to the security and well-being of the GOP’s voting base.
After generations of this Republican mental torture inflicted on their right-wing and centrist supporters, these tens-of-millions of Americans will accept, as fact, any off the cuff remark, idle gossip, coffee break conversation, ridiculous rumor, social media bullsh!t, and/or the propaganda spewed by conservative radio and TV programs, etc. Anything that feeds their ever-increasing paranoia.
It’s nearly impossible to have a rational discussion with any conservative or the vast majority of centrists, since the impeached president trump cast his spell over them. The unending, unsubstantiated allegations, the groundless conspiracy theories that arise each day, and the growing right-wing fear of... everything, has made these seventy-plus million people putty in the hands of any Republican politician who offers them the slightest justification for all their fears, anxiety, and feelings of being constantly victimized.

Well, the GOP ceded control of their party to the dumbest and craziest of their members. I mean, look at QAnon. Who ever would have thought that they would grow into a dominating force anywhere outside of the confines of a psych ward in much the same way that prison gangs run a prison.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, now, we get to truly witness what it's like for the inmates to escape the psych ward and gain control of the town and the levers of power all the way from the RW media to the people who are representing us and should know better than to acquiesce to people who are so clearly delusional. And guess what? It all started with Trump. He's patient zero!
