10. "Far right brainwashing is a serious social problem tearing apart communities and families..."

A recovery program is essential, I agree.

Are you familiar with Leaving MAGA founded by Rich Logis? They showcase recovering MAGA folks.

Every broadcast media and social media platform (public media being the main exception) is now owned by billionaires. Billionaires who are working hard to shape our perception and control us.

Big fan of The Brainwashing of My Dad and Jen Senko! We need more like that, spread far and wide. Hers was especially effective in spite of being low budget. Loved the encouraging ending too as Jen and her mom were able to help her dad leave the extremist rightwing perspective behind which a lot to restore their relationship.
