How Do You Like the Thought of Being Deprogrammed?

[American Thinker] Their normal human sympathies have atrophied. They live in the desert of their own inhuman politics. They are cold and apparently lack a spiritual life. Desperate to look down on other people, they take fatuity to a new level.

David Atkins, recently elected as a California member of the Democratic National Committee, mused on Twitter (Nov. 21, 2020): "How do you deprogram 75 million people who would literally die to stick it to the domestic enemies the teevee and youtube conspiracy vids told them to hate? No, seriously...how DO you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook? We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South."

Bret Stephens, certified by the New York Times as a journalist, summed up the American political landscape ten weeks after the election (Jan. 18, 2021):

The larger question in my mind is whether the G.O.P. is the village that must be destroyed in order to be saved, or, alternatively, is it like a group of previously reasonable people who got taken in by a cult and now must go through some kind of deprogramming so that they can lead normal lives again? My hope is that once Republicans realize that Trump was both a moral and political disaster for them, they might recover their senses.

Katie Couric, famous TV person, reacted viscerally to this "larger question" when chatting with Bill Maher on his Real Time show (Jan. 19, 2020). Katie confided her contempt for those who don't agree with her. She was particularly upset with GOP congressmen. "It's really bizarre, isn't it, when you think about how AWOL so many of these members of Congress have gotten? ... And the question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump?"

Bill Maher read from the same sermon: "I mean, what do you do about these people? There's 147 Republicans in Congress who still don't concede that Trump lost the election. What do you do about people who are in the government who don't believe in our way of government?"

The Washington Post also has a clairvoyant, Brian Klaas:

#1 They are cold and apparently lack a spiritual life.

They could be satanists.

#2 Bashing Trump gives these assholes impeccable Woke credentials, professional advancement, and audience, which means money and influence.

There is no sincere belief or integrity in any of this. It's aa genuine as Kamala Harris's passion for Willie Brown back in the day.

This is whoring pure and simple.

#5 You start by going after MSNBC and NY Times (and pretty much all lefty media that run with the scoop instead of fact checking these days because they know in their dark little hear the truthiness of it all).

Perhaps forcing them to put retractions on the scroll in large letters and the top of the hour would be a start. If lefties knew how many juicy stories were later retracted they'd be embarrassed to ever quote MSNBC or NY Times.
