Such people are the most easily manipulated and are the best candidates for indoctrination into hive-mind cults where everyone is expected to think alike. Trump&#8217;s Chief-of-Staff, Susie Wiles, said so explicitly on a recent episode of Lara Trump&#8217;s Fox News program&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65821\" target=\"_blank\">Lara Trump\u2019s Interview of Her Sugardaddy-in-Law\u2019s Chief-of-Staff on Fox News is Pure Cult Dogma<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With all of the swirling catastrophes circling the newly minted Trump 2.0 (SignalGate, annexations of Greenland and Canada, inflationary\/recessionary Trump Tax\/Tariffs, unconstitutional deportations, mass firings of critical federal workers\/services, etc.), the regime is desperate to deflect to matters that they think they can spin in a more positive direction.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, Trump&#8217;s desperation has led him to yet another fiasco. He has chosen to escalate the war on public broadcasting to an unprecedented level. On Monday Trump posted a comment on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65732\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong> that raged about the <em>&#8220;MONSTERS&#8221;<\/em> at NPR and PBS&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND AND TOTALLY DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM NPR &#038; PBS, THE RADICAL LEFT &#8216;MONSTERS&#8217; THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3llu3nhfrxs2n\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreih7uubbisdeujn6k63ca6vtvt4wkr4ymezxgcjencwfhgj45sjixy\">\n<p lang=\"en\">The sickness and hatred that is Donald Trump and MAGA&#8230;They are OBSESSED with killing the &#34;MONSTERS&#34; &#8211; NPR &amp; PBS.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3llu3nhfrxs2n?ref_src=embed\">2025-04-02T19:10:08.508Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right!

Who can deny that they <em>&#8220;so badly hurt our country&#8221;<\/em> and must be defunded? And if that weren&#8217;t bad enough, a congressional Trump flunky, Brandon Gill (TX-MAGA), chimed in with the following complaint&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The idea that we&#8217;re spending so much of our hard earned tax dollars promoting values that we find repulsive is wrong.

So either they are too repulsive to even discuss, or more likely, they don&#8217;t exist anywhere outside of his cartoon brain. And his assertion that the entire staff of NPR hates Christians, conservatives, and America, is straight out of the most perverse dregs of wingnut dystopian dementia.<\/p>\n<p>It is troubling to consider that the likelihood of defunding these American institutions is frighteningly plausible. The Republican majority in Congress is devoted to obeying every command from their Dear Leader Trump. Even if it means canceling treasured programs, maligning honorable people, and trashing the Constitution&#8217;s First Amendment protections of freedom of the press.<\/p>\n<p>The hysterical rage mongers of the right care only about retaining their grip on power by any means they deem necessary. And attacking public broadcasting serves a dual purpose for these radical lunatics: It helps them to channel attention away from the even more grotesque endeavors that that they are engaged in, and it leads to a more ignorant, compliant base of cult followers.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that they cannot possibly succeed. They are weak and witless and far fewer in number. The majority of Americans are not as blind and malleable as the MAGA minions. We will resist their efforts to control and subjugate us. And our resolve will see us through.
