> I just read a thing the other day, it's called firehosing. You just create so many issues that it's almost impossible for one to be focused on.
It's way beyond that, it's brainwashing people.
You know they fight in the Middle East over how to interpret the same book for a thousand years? That's the kind of pattern Putin is doing with Democrat vs. Republican. Get people into a hate and not see that they are fighting over nonsense. How to read The Bible and Quran, day after day, hating over it.
Except in our case, it's fighting out everything and anything to ignore the truth that the greedy billionaires have too much power in the USA. Rupert Murdoch, one such billionaire, is brainwashing people all around you, and we just keep acting like that's normal. No, it's not normal when millions of people around you live in an alternate reality caused by Bible media or Fox News media or Trump Twitter media or a certain subreddit media.
There was a DVD edition briefly in 2006 that had them.
Edit: This had the theatrical cut, there're also editions for Empire and Return
Today I watched the movie The Brainwashing of my Dad on Amazon. Holy shit. It was amazing. She draws a very clear picture of right wing media, the influence of AM talk radio and Fox News and how it has affected people in this country. I highly recommend it.
Trump is an easily-debunked FWD:FWD:FWD email from Grandma come to life.
Watch this documentary, it is free with ads on Amazon. It perfectly explains how these people are made.
> In their mind they have no reason to, they are financially comfortable and everyone else can just fuck off to them.
I found this on Amazon by accident looking for a different documentary...
I find that it helps explain the mentality. It doesn't fix or change anything (except for the guy who they changed, and his entire family and all of his friends I guess).
Check out The Brainwashing of my Dad.
If you can get them to stop watching Fox and listening to Right Wing radio for several weeks/months, the effects can be reversed.

I'm in the same boat dude, my dad has gone off the deep end.
Unfortunately he can't be talked to. And when this is all over the 65,000 arrests don't happen, etc etc, he'll just move on to the next conspiracy.
A lot of the craziness we see is the direct result of media influence. Everyone who wants to know more about the Republican mindset and why so many older people suddenly seem to become ultra-conservative conspiracy theorists should watch The Brainwashing of My Dad. It's free on Amazon if you have Prime. Definitely worth the watch.
I'd troll her, hard.
>"How does it feel being part of the Russian conspiracy to manipulate our democratic elections?"
ESPECIALLY if they're of the age to remember the Cold War, "Duck and Cover", the McCarthy hearings.
I'd start calling Trump "Putin's Bitch" and referring to "Moscow Mitch" every chance you get.
Also, Amazon Prime Video has a great documentary on how the modern "conservative" movement was formed to promote the concerns of international corporations, and how they used the media to sway American voters.
Doubt they want to see the historical roots of FOX News (scum from the Nixon administration), and their part in "the vast right-wing conspiracy" (really just international corporations like Koch Bros, etc. fighting taxation), but it could be eye-opening to you and DH.
Well you'd be surprised. It's actually one of the things the creator of the documentary "The Brainwashing of my Dad" did and it made a huge difference in his mental health. If you haven't seen it, it's available on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG
Beautifully said.

If you have Amazon Prime it is free to stream, otherwise it's available the usual places for a few bucks.
The Zeitgeist is hyper tuned to Russia, almost to the point of whispers. You can feel it walking around public places. The Coehn/Trump Klan is the wedge and hammer tactic. Plant an idea, make it up, whatever.. then just hammer it on Foxic (rhymes with toxic) News for a few weeks, see if it sticks, then put another wedge in. This is Putin's strategy to split this country. Watch Brainwashing Dad (FREE on Amazon with ads)
If you want to better understand how Fox News and right-wing media can turn folks into angry right-wing fanatics, this is a great documentary to watch:

Best of luck to you!
This is just plain wrong. I actually have DVDs from a limited release they did (I think in 08) of the original Theatrical versions. People act like they straight don't exist but they are just very rare. But you can bet if those DVDs exist then Lucalfilm/Disney has digital copies somewhere
In case someone doesn't believe me, here is it listed on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=tmm_dvd_title_15?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Lucas did release the theatrical versions on DVD. Here's a box set that contains both versions, but I remember getting the single DVDs from Wal*mart for a lot cheaper.
These types of frequent comments serve to cast Trump as unintentionally evil. That he is mentally deficient and just accidentally serves Russian agenda week after week. And constant one-line parroting about his personal mental illness avoids the topic of social media addiction, widespread in early commentators on this subreddit, and Fox News media influence upon millions - of which Trump is just one of many in the White House who worship the media cult of Rupert Murdoch.
Trump has always preferred to live in media reality. Howard Stern show, Oprah, paid-for political content in newspapers, etc.
I highly recommend the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad." It's about how right wing media transformed the filmmaker's elderly father from a caring Democrat into a fearful, angry conservative. It tore the family apart. However, they were able to change his media habits and revert his personality, like he snapped out of a fever dream.
It's on Amazon Instant, and it's a fascinating look at how right wing media operates and how it affects its consumers.

This is not the first time they released a box like this (meaning the content+design), so they might again in the future. The original price was $215 during pre-order.
The only official collection of Ghibli movies is the Hayao Miyazaki Blu-ray box from Amazon.
Anything else you find is an illegal bootleg.
An Isao Takahata Blu-ray box was released in Japan, but it has not been released in America.
Fox News is a fucking cancer and I have no idea how we can cure it. Luckily younger generations watch less TV, so hopefully it just dies with the Boomers.
Edit: See if you can get your dad to watch the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad". It's on Amazon Prime.

Did you read the studies? The Right is falling for the fake news of Fox. 4 out of 10 think that negative news about this admin is fake. They can't even take the president being criticized and are shooting it down. Nobody is perfect, there can be negative things that are happening. That's how the Kim Jongs like their news to be though, about them being perfect. And that is what the cult of Trump is becoming. They are literally just making stuff up.
Plus, you have have Donald Trump literally lying as well. So if you believing Donald, then going to Fox to get your news, youre even more so not getting real information.
Of course though, if you believe your news is real, you think the other news is fake.
I try to read a lot of different news outlets domestic and foreign (I really should be working more haha) and the majority of news outlets, big and small, are reporting negative things about this admin, because they are happening. Fox seems to be the only one major news outlet that is trying to obfuscate facts and mislead.
You're right about brainwashing, there's even a documentary on how Fox news brainwashes people. https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG
