No strategies even necessary, they are all on board with the fanaticism. They don't even need martyrs, they demonize the left constantly, it's like with narcissists- they accuse you of shit constantly and feverishly, and the one time you actually do happen to be guilty of something that is judgment day and proof of everything else they made up about you.

It's how witch processes go, it's how holocausts go, it's how fascism always goes.

Comparing the two is insulting. She was an actual head of state and a true force of evil, this chump was a two bit podcaster, he deserves neither half flags, having a state burial, nor having any type of songs written about him.

Jesus christ, you're playing into their hands.

There is no guarantee that they will lose, that's the problem. Give them enough chances, they only have to win one time and that will be it. One could argue they already did, because democracy and rule of law are not in effect any longer, there is only one way this can still be stopped.

It's like seeing those crying people in North Korea after Kim Jong Il died, it went on for months and was so over the top theatrical. It's how indoctrination works. The most extreme view becomes the line which if you don't exceed excludes you from the group and makes you a target.

The thing is, he's a nobody. But it only takes one of the cultists tearing their hair and making him out to be a martyr for the next to try to outdo it to show how even more patriotic they are, and it snowballs into this moronic shit where you get hundreds then thousands then tens of thousands then hundreds of thousands then millions of people basically canonize some random asshole.

They've lost all grip on reality.

This is the face of extremism- falling over each other to be the most subservient and loyal to the cause. It's groupthink in a nutshell, they egg each other on and compete to be the most extreme because if you don't shout hard enough then maybe you're a traitor.

This is how you get nazis and holocausts.

THE NATION OWES ETERNAL DEBT TO THIS HERO OF THE REPUBLIC, THIS GUARDIAN OF THE FLAG, THIS MARTYR OF THE UNION, THIS SAINT OF THE CONSTITUTION WHO CARRIED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON HIS BLUE RED WHITE STRIPED SHOULDERS, WHOSE FACE SHALL BE ENGRAVED ON THE MOUNTAINS AND WHOSE NAME BE SUNG BY ANGELS AS HE ASCENDS THE HEAVENLY THRONE TO BE EMBRACED BY THE ONE TRUE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS SACRIFICE WRITTEN WITH ASTRAL FIRE AND FOREVER ECHOED THROUGH THE CHAMBERS OF POWER AND ANNALS OF HISTORY AND RETOLD BY THE LIPS OF PATRIOTS FOR MILLENNIA!

Every time: literally never heard anyone say it. Implication: it happens constantly.

Ham? What kind of message is that?

They never did, they were always default conservatives.

That's not even what they are saying. They are saying that they will not monitor communication, except for the communication they will monitor.
