Too many Americans now don’t trust the credentialed “elitists” with their graduate degrees and years of research. They’d rather go with the charismatic dunce who cheated his way through high school and can barely speak in complete sentences.

Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

    I think the reason it works so well, and what the movie got right, was how the right uses rhetoric to downplay anything that isn’t in line with their goals to maintain power.

    The same movie could have been made to satire Trans people, left handed people, immigrants…anything the right hates.
