It is giving tens of millions of Americans a lifestyle that includes being hooked up to what is, in reality, a 24-7 never-ending Klan or neo Nazi rally, underpinned with a new hybrid form of temporal, profane variant of christofascism, all of which are loaded with fully self-reinforcing negative feedback loops.
All of that is also scientifically (hello FB algorithms, for example) interspersed and buttressed with the most wild of RW batshittery that literally destroys the concept of objective truth, logical thought, and the commonality of values, plus paints all outside that groupthink ecosphere as enemies. Enemies that, at the end of the day, IF the processes of indoctrination and reflexive control are allowed to be taken to their full conclusions, will be perceived as worthy of death AT SOME POINT. Toss in around half a billion firearms out in the American aether, the vast majority of which are in RW or RW-adjacent hands, and the prognosis is grim indeed.
