    Why do you think their addled brains default them to fascism?

    They’re being targeted specifically because they’re easy to manipulate. Why are we so against manipulating them ourselves?

      I didn’t say anything about fascism, but there does seem to be a correlation between brain injuries and being a conservative. Gary Busey and RFKjr both come to mind. A shoot in the dark, but empathy might require higher brain function then selfishness. Conservative pundits also offer simple answers to complex questions.

        That’s a very realistic take. I wonder if we can’t use the same tactics somehow. Give them a more realistic enemy to hate and fear. Like the rich.

        Eh… Deprogramming racism is probably really hard though :-/
