To my way of thinking it is Intergenerational Trauma, poverty, illiteracy and a complete lack of time to engage with the media which makes folks very vulnerable to cults and manipulation. There's some statistics that are worth knowing.
66.2 %of Americans are living pay check to pay check. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" for food stamps. They are time poor and often do not engage with media.
60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. This means that they haven't got critical thinking skills. They do not know about billionaire media owners and their agendas. How they want their Trump tax cuts.
Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use neoliberalism's "Poverty as a Policy Choice".
Neoliberalism shifts a citizen of a country who has rights and responsibilities, a sense of belonging and purpose to being a consumer in a market place who is to blame if they do not purchase the right life despite not having a trust fund. The shaming and humiliating of the poor is a feature of neoliberalism. Folks who are vulnerable become desperate to scapegoat others which feels like a huge relief that they are not the at the brunt of the scapegoating.
Intergenerational Trauma, poverty and illiteracy makes folks vulnerable to cults and manipulation.
Trump and FOX news use amygdala hijacks, that is they play on fear responses or fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses. If you are in fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses your rational mind or prefrontal cortex has shut down. Biologically your capacity to think has been shut down. There's no capacity to rationally think things through.
Without access to adequate food, housing, stable employment and education folks don't have the capacity to process and engage in moral thinking.
