AUDIO POST WITH WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT: THE HATE CHRONICLES. THE KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE MINDSET, MOTIVATIONS, AND GOALS OF THE FAR RIGHT FANATIC. UPDATE.

THE U.S. AS A WHOLE, IS NOT A RACIST COUNTRY, JUST CERTAIN SEGMENTS: RACISM, XENOPHOBIA, HOMOPHOBIA  AND OTHER DOCTRINES OF HATE ARE THE GAMEPLAN OF THE RUSS-PUBLICAN PARTY TO REGAIN AND RETAIN THE MAJORITY SHARE OF POLITICAL POWER IN THE U.S.  SINCE THIS STRATEGY, AND THE ACTIVE SUPPORT OF THE PUTIN GOVERNMENT WORKED IN 2016, (ALONG WITH DEMOCRATIC APATHY), IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO THESE "GLORY DAYS." 

IF THE MINORITY PARTY IN POWER IS WILLING TO GO TO THE LENGTHS THAT THE GOP HAS IN  ACHIEVING ITS GOAL OF TURNING THE U.S. INTO A FASCIST STRONGHOLD, IT POINTS TO A REALITY THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED; THAT SOMETIMES THOSE SCREAMING THE LOUDEST ARE TRYING TO DROWN OUT THE TRUTH.

It is a mistake for Progressives to think that those who make up the Most Conservative Elements of the "NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY" ARE ALL CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH. WHILE THEY MAY VOTE AS A BLOC,THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION DIFFERS FROM GROUP TO GROUP.

While They are usually Packaged Together, ULTRA CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS HAVE REALIZED THAT FINDING THE ONE KEY ISSUE THAT DRIVES CERTAIN GROUPS OF VOTERS TO THE POLLS, OFTEN WILL TURN THEM INTO LOYAL ALLIES, who will support an agenda full of Issues They may care little about.

It could be GUN CONTROL, SAME- SEX MARRIAGE, GOVERNMENT SPENDING, SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, IMMIGRATION LAWS, REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE etc. THE STRATEGY IS TO PUT FORTH AN UNCOMPROMISING, RIGID, AND VITRIOLIC POINT OF VIEW ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE, APPEALING TO THE BASER ELEMENTS OF HUMAN NATURE.

THE REASON: TO LEARN OF THE ONE ISSUE THAT EACH SECTION OF INDIVIDUAL VOTERS MOST IDENTIFIES WITH, AND MANIPULATE IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

IT'S A TACTIC THAT REQUIRES NO INTELLECTUAL EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE LISTENER. THERE IS NO NEED TO UNDERSTAND, OR EVEN CARE ABOUT THE OPPOSITIONS POINT OF VIEW. IT PLAYS ON RAW EMOTION, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CONTEMPLATION OR REFLECTION.

THE INDIVIDUAL IS ENCOURAGED NOT TO THINK ABOUT AN INTELLECTUAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE OPINION THEY ARE SUPPORTING, BUT TO REACT TO THE WORDS OF THE AUTHOR AND\OR SPEAKER, AND ACCEPTING THE MESSAGE AS TRUE, AND WORTHY OF SUPPORT.  THIS, IN TURN, ENCOURAGES AGREEMENT WITH OTHER OPINIONS THAT ARE EXPRESSED

THE SAME WAY.
