The bigger story is that Fox put this guy on air and acted like there was some legitimacy to it. The guy himself at least has an excuse for acting brain dead. What’s the excuse for the viewers?
Yep there’s a deliberate effort to train people into hateful Nazi fucks and get them to accept violence and cruelty. And it needs to be treated like the terrorist movement it is.
Specifically evangelical Christians. It’s a very tricky thing to navigate because on the one hand we are taught absolute biblical inerrancy, but it’s crucial to redefine a lot of Christ’s message that gets leveraged by people with actual humanity, because a lot of it can be made to sound, well, awfully socialist.
So I think there is a deliberate, if not coordinated and conspiratorial, effort to thread that needle. AI is also a really potent vector for this. Evangelical Christians are simultaneously 3 things:
Completely devoted to scripture as the perfect and inerrant word of god
largely unfamiliar with scripture itself - the bible is perfect but it’s more of a cookbook than a manual, much less a library.
Weirdly open to God speaking and working in all kinds of ineffable ways, even if the resulting doctrines contradict the scripture they aren’t familiar with anyway - such as God “clarifying misinterpretation“ through AI, or through the ramblings of someone with a traumatic brain injury.
Here is the trick - I remember understanding the rhetorical genius of it when I first heard it, even before I deconstructed:
God’s word is inerrant - our understanding of it is not.
It might sound tinfoil hatted, but I think this is a lever actively being pulled by the Epstein class.
Like the time Paul Manafort was indicted and Faux News suddenly decided that the cheese placement on Google’s hamburger emoji was the biggest and most important thing happening that day.

There is your answer right there. They know their credulous audience and they have their message to push.

They have watched enough Fox to achieve a similar effect.
Was probably a distraction day.

The same thing, really
