Fox News Has Rewired The Republican Brain In The Worst Way Imaginable

[GoLeft TV]

Republicans use language in a much more effective way than Democrats. Rather than speaking about issues, they use buzzwords and catchphrases that have been psychologically proven to motivate their base. So why does this work? To answer that question, we have to take a look inside the brains of conservatives.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and political commentator and essayist Chauncey DeVega discuss that.

Use the language (really use the language) or lose power.

3. That Was Very Good

I've noticed this phenomenon in real life. There are people everywhere whose demeanor changes like a switch was thrown. The finger starts jabbing, the voice gets louder, sweat forms on the forehead - and over the most innocuous things, too. One guy recently told me (very angrily, too) that Harry Reid ran everything in Nevada: the state, federal, and city governments, casinos, the BLM, and so on for his own benefit. Of course, there was no proof so he shouted louder.

Their ideology is very much an evangelical and dominionistic religion.

5. although Trump is well only reason he's working is being the MODERATE he is he's saying

things that the extremists love, not that he means a word of it. Do love how he's pointing out that yeah 9/11 happened under Bush's watch oops but then he turns around and pulls Alex Jones on ya which I have been told under some circles Liberals also believe some of the stuff he says , eh no your talking anarchists. anarchists sometimes get mixed up with anti war activists or OWS. Thats the problem with that. I'd say only on my Christian faith am I rather conservative, however I don't believe a conservative slant in your faith is the best thing for everyone. Sorta depends on ho far over the cliff of depression you are where the only thing that works is some really strong cable from the Right to pull me back. Not a short cable from the left as they might slip and off I go. Have some people on the left that have pushed me back from the cliff but alot of those from the Moderate Right who are very helpful , course on the same token naturally the July abortion fiction came out and at least for one former classmate, try to find a legitimate source for this and the videos ended up tainted. I've already fallen for fake BS from the left, I didn't want to see her fall in there as well. Seeing she's married (oh I so wish) but doesn't have any kids and I'm not and not married either but hit 40 with 3 months of each other late last year. Just the worst sort of depression where I wanna be in this area but depression just kills your ability to notice that time is just flying bye Although I think in some areas the end is getting close, it's nat as close as say Michelle Bachman thinks it is X_X yeah anyday now Obama will announce he's the anti christ. um Michelle the Anti Christ is not gonna say he's such, he's gonna say he's Jesus. Uniting both mindsets. Obama is not gonna do that
