Propaganda works so fucking good. MAGAts are always making issues out of things that effect less than 1% of people, and isn't their business, into issues that people will start foaming at the mouth about. Classic 2-minute hate conditioning. Most Americans, at least in my area, read 1984 as seniors in high school, but I don't think they have the life experience to really understand it:

The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but, on the contrary, that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.

Hate used to control and maintain power, not anything else. No values other than maintaining power.

Assuming a "blowlamp" means a blow torch, I'm not aware of them being omnidirectional. A more effective simile'd be something that builds pressure internally to be released through select aperatures, according to preferred targets/results, IMHO. That way, the subject is still an object (lacking consciousness, will of its own) and directed by outside persons. (ie. turd reich) 😁

Great reference.
