Kurt Braddock is a thirty-something smart researcher and professor in the communications department of American University who has expanded upon the seventy-year old proposition that people can be conditioned to ignore extremist propaganda This concept, called inoculation theory, begins with the understanding that terrorist recruitment narratives can be persuasive, but that small, injected counternarratives acting like antivirals can turn mindsets away from those same influences.
Braddock has been paid handsomely by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention to explore its utility in preventing ideological violence, with a research grant award of more than half million dollars. His early research, to include his debut book, Weaponized Words, is balanced in its examination of all poisoned ideologies peddled by both the radical left and right and written without the political buzzwords and pretentious jargon exclusive to faculty lounges.
For progressive Democrats, however, hate inoculation is just what the doctor ordered. The theory is a cliché for cultural Marxists, wispy enough around the edges to embrace the idea that all Trump supporters have been radicalized and need to be turned away from their inconvenient political truths. It was only a matter of time before the leftist pedagogy infecting higher education would lower political blinders over inoculation research methodology and outcomes.
In an article posted on its homepage, NBC News has already rushed forward to whet appetites over the possibility of inoculating against violent extremism. Not all extremism, mind you, just the variety that is the latter-day sobriquet for white supremacy, which since January 6 has become a noose for social media to tighten around the neck of Trump supporters and conservatives en masse.

The more this goes on, the less likely we're going to be able to preserve our liberties and our country without removing these people not only from any exercise of authority in government, academia, or the press but the possibility of exercising such authority, either by means of lustration, incarceration, or worse.
It all comes down to trust. We now have a fraudulent regime and a crime family in power, we allowed a fraudulent election to do this. They are finding ways to force you into inoculations without mandating it, your employment, travel, and other means that Americans depend on on a daily basis that will get worse as we move forward. So when you have people who have a wait a see attitude with the vax they are quickly labeled as anti vax evil and want to infect the population with their irresponsibile actions. we would still be skeptical if trump was in power, how do you think we feel now with this fraud and his henchmen in power
Well, it's not working.
The Left believes that 10 months of Leftist Domestic Terrorism and murder in Portland and Seattle is "peaceful protest".
Also, the Left actively suppresses the truth of the four hour Marxist Left False Flag Provocation at the Nation's Capitol January 6th.
While the Deep Swamp takes the opportunity to message murder Ashli Babbitt and install Soviet style walls and fences, rejecting public oversight of the State, while pretending "White Supremacists".
