Oh it’s definitely similar to a disease. It attacks the area of the brain that sources intelligence and common sense.
I've been calling it a mental illness for at least a decade. I suspect that a constant exposure to disinformation induces a state similar to narcissism, with severe empathetic impairment, but there is a clear corruption to their logic and how they process information, as evidenced by the constant double-think — holding contradictory beliefs and opinions simultaneously — and defaulting to negative/positive opinions about anything based almost entirely on logical fallacies, and a child-like reasoning of "goodies and baddies".
"my abortion was different"
"won't someone think of the children" but also let em starve and die in a mass shooting.
"Trans and gays are pedophiles" but also my teams pedos and sex criminals have my undying support.
There are literally thousands of examples like this daily. I consider religion — which teaches you to trust your feefees, "just have faith", and reject critical thought — to be the main source of this logical corruption and mental illness.
Fox News has been spreading this disease since 2000 (and the crazy right wing talk radio even longer).
This is a much deeper and longer problem than many want to admit.
I feel like common sense is more a standard mental immune system function that helps prevent the infection from taking hold. These are susceptible populations, though, essentially immunocompromised.
So, I suppose we need to take some MAGA, weaken it with formaldehyde or something, and then inject that into people's brains to give the brain a chance to fight back before it gets overwhelmed.

I've been trying to convince anti-vaxxers that it isn't the medicine, but the micro plastics that are causing all the "new diseases" and being able to diagnose more autistic kids. I would rather them believe that it is caused by plastics and not medicine. I think being anti-plastic is better than anti-vax.
Try to out conspiracy them. Tell them that the anti-vax movement was created by Obama to kill off Republicans.
I genuinely wonder how much of the rise of this kind of belligerent stupidity can be traced back to widespread, low-level lead poisoning decades ago that's starting to manifest in earnest now.
Combine that with 40 years of Republicans slashing education funding and you’re on to something.
microplastics, everywhere from the balls to the brain.
Plastics are stored in the balls
I've been around Maga folks and I haven't yet caught it. Maybe I'm immune? Or maybe it's the skirts I wear. We need to force Maga adherents into skirts so that they get better.
Their leader tries to force himself into skirts. Forcing them to wear skirts might work though.
There is one person that built the foundation to all of this: Rush Limbaugh. The right is always right and everyone else is lying.
We're not arguing on bad faith you are!
No its pandemic. All of the right wing nuts are colluding to return to its weirdo cult Nazi heritage.
Spoiler alert: the uniforms went away but the ideology remained thanks in part to the western racists.
It's a symptom of a disease for sure. Lack of critical thinking, rampant misinformation passed off as facts, and unchecked campaign spending are the disease.
