35. Fox news is still a major propaganda source, but other even further out sources are up and comers.

I do not know of a Trump supporter who does not primarily watch fox, but from the few RW facebook "friends" still left, there are several extreme sites in the mold of infosmores, dimbaart, and nuzemin that they are watching and all just love tump and the Q lies and BS.

Utube keeps suggesting a bunch of "reports" from nuzemin. They are fairly well produced, look like a news report, and are totally detached from reality.

Steve Bannon and some Chinese billionaire have some propaganda video site they created and they are pushing the Hunter stolen/faked data big time. I think all my relatives in West Virginia have fallen for that crap.

I guess I don't see how you can de-program someone from the cult while they are still immersed in the cult. Maybe the first step is to recognize what the lies are and what their source is. There may be a small window to get through to them when one of the rw extremist lies hits them over the head as false. Like when someone they know actually gets Covid, or maybe when Trump actually leaves the Wh without arresting all of the Qanon evil doers.
