      Sure I guess my point is they fear the truth so much that they invented their own form of the truth.

      I would argue that the VAST majority of the people pushing these ideologies do not believe the things they profess to believe and that they are pushing their followers to subscribe to. It is rank tribalism with the only goal being money & power for themselves at the expense of anyone that they deem to be a threat. It really is a zero sum game.

      There are the useful idiots that I would classify as the true believers, but their beliefs have often times been coopted either due to poor education or coercive indoctrination of assorted varieties (like religion for example).

        Don’t tell me what to do.

        This is the actual Republican platform. It’s absolutely about getting control, not about any particular ideology. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s why Republicans try their culture war junk, because WE care about ideologies, and it divides us. In the pursuit of the ‘right’ people telling the ‘wrong’ people what to do, and in the pursuit of keeping the ‘wrong’ people from telling the ‘right’ people what to do, anything goes. Hypocrisy, lies, crime, election fraud, subverting courts, coups, false patriotism, false piety, terrorism, even outright murder… anything goes.

        Know the enemy, spread the word to your friends and family (and maybe further).
