The rise of the Repub Messaging Machine (or how we got HERE)...
The producer of the video "The Brainwashing of my Dad," saw a change in her father after he started listening to talk radio and watching Fox. Even the wife says she noticed a change. He turned into ...you know what. So she examined how this happened, and in such a short period of time. The Repubs have been finetuning their messaging system for decades. It's been very successful. "Liberal media." "Liberals are weak." "Liberal elite." And so on...general phrases used repeatedly by numerous conservatives over decades have had an effect. (the video is just a 5 minute trailer)
It does seem to be a form of brainwashing, or something like it.
