Decades of disinformation by the Right-Wing Echo Chamber has conditioned half the country to reflexively disbelieve anything that contradicts the echo chamber narrative, or politically threatens (holds accountable) an incompetent, corrupt, and pathologically unfit president. 1/ https://twitter.com/newtgingrich/status/1239607124843474945
The GOP/Right-Wing media predictably react to every situation with the emotional immaturity of 15 year-old kids who compulsively/defiantly take a contrarian stance against everything that “adults” (scientists/doctors/intelligence community) tell them. 2/ https://twitter.com/Nick_Carmody/status/1085507124522668033
For years, Republicans/Right Wing media have lied to their base. And by doing so, the Right didn’t give a damn about the rule of law, about election integrity, about the constitution, or even democracy. The only things they gave a damn about was protecting Trump and the tribe. 3/
As a result, the Right has gaslighted half the country into believing that:
-Russian interference was a hoax…
-Trump’s obstruction/criminality was a hoax…
-The Mueller report was a witch hunt…
-Extorting Ukraine was “perfect”…
…and that…
-Impeachment was a witch hunt…

….was calling the coronavirus pandemic an “impeachment scam”....6/ https://twitter.com/AmoneyResists/status/1237189441598492672
….or was calling the coronavirus pandemic a fraudulent deep state fear mongering plot to bring down Trump....7/ https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/sean-hannity-it-may-be-true-deep-state-using-coronavirus-manipulate-markets
…that the naturally flowing consequence of this recklessness would be that the easily-manipulated Republican tribe would be “so skeptical of the threat of the coronavirus”.
