We Absolutely Must Discuss The Brainwashing Of Republicans / Conservatives

I read a thread on DU while waiting in line to go into Roger Waters in Tacoma, and it really hit me. The author was explaining how some of her friends were "good people" but supported Trump.

Their point was they thought their friends were brainwashed by Fox and right wing radio.

I agree completely. I read a story years ago how a girl's father was a sweet, gentle, caring human being. He got a job where he had to drive 45 minutes to work, and started listening to hate radio. She saw him transform into a hate filled, bigoted, angry nut. Happened right before her eyes.

Here is the link http://www.thedailybeast.com/how-fox-news-and-the-right-wing-media-machine-made-my-dad-crazy

The brainwashing is very effective, and it is our world's number 2 problem, after money in politics.
