As much as I’ll happily rag on the prequels, I think a lot about a line from the Phantom Menace, as said by Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.”
fear is how they control their base. its not logic, which is why we cant argue with them.

The base is what I was talking about.
they are afraid because they were told to be afraid. lies are repeated every 30 seconds on fox news to achieve this fear.
why do people allow this to happen to them? lack of critical thinking skills and social isolation.
Exactly. So much could be solved with just a basic highschool critical thinking course.
But the GOP have their voters so brainwashed, that they’d just pull their kids out of school and “home school” if they even tried to institute one.
Religion is probably part of it. A lot of the more conservative sects of Christianity emphasize both uncritical conformity and a fear of punishment.
It’s why some don’t understand how you can be a good, moral person without religion. Their morality is based on that fear of punishment.
