They operate under the false beliefs that they already are and that "the libs" bring in foreigners to tilt the vote (which is litteraly not possible) and then "those people get free everything" to feed further into racism. The imaginary bussed in people can't vote or get benefits but thier social circle says so and thats all they need to believe and repeat it.
The triangle of rhetoric is appeal to authority, appeal to emotion, appeal to logic. They don't accept any of it thay didn't come from within thier social group so there is no convinving them and that is why Tronald Dump can say he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and have them call it fake news despite being recorded.
(Edit x 5 :Why oh why can't spellcheck just work?)
This is spot on. Delve into the inevitable "Politics and Religion" section of any old school web forum for white guy hobbies and nine times out of ten it's going to be knee deep in a loud circle jerk consisting of these exact guys whipped into a frenzy over nothing. Look, but don't touch, it's like a buzz saw in there.
Aren't they also the ones loading up all of their undesirables onto buses and shipping them off to more lefterly cities?
Yeah, coz every accusation from them is a projection if some type.
This is exactly what my neighbor stopped me to tell me recently. About bringing in immigrants to vote and what not. I tried to tell him none of that information is true and show him where and why, but it’s really hard to do without making them dig further into their position.
Anne they are now conditioned believe that any media that doesn’t align with them is fake.
Even when you do manage to get one to think and realize the truth their peer group will come down on them HARD for "falling for leftist propaganda" and they will 180 immediately.
