The propaganda machine that's been running since at least Nixon didn't rely on a single message. From greedy tv evangelicals (broadcast, cable, little dish satellite, FTA big dish, radio) to the Alex Jones conglomeration of insanity, it worked at telling each gang that their goal was achievable only by eliminating the Democrat and the RINO.

That coalition is a cult that can't hold *if* reality pierces the bubble.
