We live within tight-knit communities (both online and offline) that reinforce our beliefs -- bubbles where alternative perspectives are not just ignored but actively vilified. The cult leader preaches that outside sources as biased or untrustworthy, pushing us further into our bubble. The leader an right-wing media exploit emotions of fear and anger. This manipulation creates an urgency or paranoia that clouds our reasoning and keeps us inside the bubble. Our identity is deeply tied to our sense of self and community. The strong desire to BELONG cripples our critical evaluation of our beliefs and loyalty to the old man. Until, one by one, we escape.
He gets his news from a crazy Fox
And the nuts on the internet
But talk radio's his drug of choice
With coffee and a cigarette
He once was found but now he's lost
How sweet the sound of radio exhaust
He was a real good dad, very gentle
A loving man,,
politically central
But driving alone in his car
Bringing home bacon from afar
He fell for the tricks on the AM dial
Got sicker and sicker with every mile
The right-wing machine washed his mind
Washed it clean, tapped his spine
They stole the father we're trying to find
Dad could see but now he's blind
(Dad could see but now he's blind)
The right-wing machine washed his mind
Washed it clean, tapped his spine
They stole the father we're trying to find
Dad could see but now he's blind
(Dad could see but now he's blind)
They stole the father we're trying to find
Dad could see but now he's blind
(Dad could see but now he's blind)
