The Establishment and Lift-Wing, Liberal Democrat elites Hillary, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, … have poisoned the country’s collective consciousness. However, the distorted emotional pitch with which the Trump-Russia collusion groupthink is delivered, day in and day out, has gripped and inflamed irrational, febrile minds.
What sociology terms “a collective preoccupation” is fueled by organizational and communication networks. Friendship networks and work organizations (think government departments infested with like-minded individuals) serve as nodes in a system that transmits faulty signals across the synapses of a collective, damaged brain.
The political storyline du jour is manufactured by America’s gilded elites.
When you’re the most powerful entity in the world, as the U.S. government certainly is, you get to manufacture your own parallel universe with its unique rules of evidence and standards of proof. What’s more, as the mightiest rule-maker, you can coerce other earthlings into “sharing” your alternate reality. Or else.
The war on Trump will end badly. Not just with the violent silencing of conservatives and their speakers on campuses and beyond, or media muckraking, meant to overturn or shape election outcomes, or the firebombing of Republican Party headquarters (October 2016), or the attempted murder of Republicans representatives (June 2017).
These are barbaric. But if past is prologue, the frenzy of inflamed imaginations could spill over into all-out war – against Russia, Iran or North Korea instead of the current war on America by some of the ignorant Americans.
