I saw a comment a while ago that called it myth making. It stuck with me for some reason. They don't have a reality. They have right wing mythos.

What's astounding to me is how innate that is. How can one process stimulus and information. Then filter it through a second layer of myth crafting.

At least to me reality is what reality is. I don't take in information and then think how can I gymnastic this into my mythology. How is anyone even like that??? The right seems to do it reflexively.

Mythmaking is a central component of fascism. It's an idealogy built upon convenient lies, for the sake of essentially collecting paychecks.
