The misinformation tactics pioneered by Alex Jones have become the standard language for the entire conservative movement.

But then over the past three years, I told her that phrase no longer works because it's not alt-right opium anymore. It's just right opium. There is no alt anymore. That what Jones did and what his flavor for how to manipulate facts and stuff is now just lingua franca for the entire conservative movement.

The conservative movement relies on a victimhood narrative that prevents effective governance.

He is the victim. Which is the only real bullet that the conservative movement has. Is that they're always the ones under attack. That's always their argument when it always comes back to it. Which is why they can't actually do anything. Like now that they're in power. They can't actually govern in any kind of reasonable way. Because what do you do? Like, you're always the victim. Now you're the one who's... Victimizing other people. So you can't play that card. And whenever everybody starts fucking up, now the GOP is complaining that they're the victim against the GOP. Like, they just don't have any other playbook.
