how these people were so brainwashed????? A psychiatrist told me that He and other shrinks had figured it out.......
If you only listen to Fox News and Right Wing Radio, 24/7/365..... then, in effect you only know what has been pounded into your brain by their propaganda.......It would be like what the Chinese and North Koreans do if you stray away from their government beliefs, they lock you up at one of their "re-education camps" for months............same effect.

It was the same during the W Bush occupation of the White House, although it is far worse now..........and far more insidious, I might add.
