Washington Post Publishes Article Stating that Millions of 'White Republican Americans' Need to be 'Deprogrammed and Reprogrammed'
nteb | 1/27/21 | Geoffrey Grider

On Monday, the Washington Post published an op-ed by columnist Brian Klaas whereby he expresses the near futility of attempting to “deprogram” millions of Trump supporters, claiming that many have “gone far enough down the rabbit hole of conspiratorial thinking.”

In the Chick gospel tract entitled ‘The Last Generation’ we see a New World Order where ‘wrong thinking’ is now a crime, and that citizens are required to inform the government on the ‘suspicious activities’ of their friends, neighbors and family members. In one especially prescient scene we see a grandson informing the authorities on his grandfather who is a believer in Jesus Christ, who is then taken away for ‘reprogramming’. Welcome to the Democrat Party 2021.

“But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Mark 13:11-13 (KJB)

Talking about the time of the great Tribulation after the rapture of the Church, Jesus warns that those Tribulation saints must ‘endure to the end’ in order to make it through to Heaven. They will have to refuse the Mark of the Beast, and have nothing to do with the name, number and image of the Antichrist, but if they do, they will be beheaded for their refusal to ‘play ball’. Rightly dividing the scripture shows us clearly that we in the Church Age will not be here for all that, but, what we are seeing coming together right now is a nice, little ‘preview’ of what’s coming after we leave.

We constantly speak out against the lies of QAnon, but the New World Order is not trying to eradicate QAnon, they are trying to get rid of the King James Bible and all those people who believe it. Jesus Christ is their target, but since they can’t get Him, they will settle for the next best thing, His followers. Dark days are not only ahead, they are here.

Anti-Trump Scholar: ‘Nearly Impossible’ to ‘Deprogram’ Millions of Trump Supporters For Thought Crimes FROM BREITBART NEWS: The essay, titled “‘Why is it so hard to deprogram Trumpian conspiracy theorists?” depicts millions of Trump supporters as so devoted to “dangerous lunacy” that nearly all hope is lost of bringing them “back to reality.”

“THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, ALMOST ALL WHITE, ALMOST ALL REPUBLICANS, WHO SOMEHOW NEED TO BE DEPROGRAMMED,” ROBINSON STATED. “IT’S AS IF THEY ARE MEMBERS OF A CULT, THE TRUMPIST CULT, AND THEY HAVE TO BE DEPROGRAMMED.”

Referring to President Trump as “a conspiracy theorist in chief” who “injected the toxin of baseless conspiratorial thinking straight into America’s political bloodstream,” the essay claims that while only hundreds stormed the Capitol, “there are millions of Americans who share their views.”

“SO, DO WE HAVE ANY HOPE OF DEPROGRAMMING THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE DEVOTED TO DANGEROUS LUNACY?” ASKS KLAAS. “DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH,” HE DECLARES.

The essay then claims that the findings of psychologists and political scientists indicate that “it can be nearly impossible” to recover people deeply involved in conspiratorial thinking. Another factor that makes the attempt to “deprogram” more difficult, the essay explains, is the social aspect.

“Modern conspiracy movements such as QAnon, are thriving in church groups and yoga classes,” Klaas states. “They’re social. And that means that deprogramming is that much harder. Today, with the rise of social media, one can be alone but feel part of a group — and some of those groups are glued together by unhinged beliefs,” Klaas adds.

The essay then describes “deluded” Trump supporters as less conspicuous than expected, deeming the attempt to ”accurately diagnose” those who have “taken the poison” more difficult.

“BRINGING THE DELUDED PEOPLE WHO POPULATE TRUMP’S POLITICAL BASE BACK TO REALITY WILL BE DIFFICULT,” KLAAS WRITES. “BUT TO FIND THE RIGHT ANTIDOTE, WE NEED TO AT LEAST ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE WHO HAS TAKEN THE POISON,” HE ADDS.” AND THAT MEANS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THOSE WHO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE CAPITOL INSURRECTIONISTS ARE NOT FAR-OFF LUNATICS. SOME, MOST LIKELY, ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS.”

However, despite any success in “diagnosing” which citizens have “taken the poison,” the essay expresses little hope of change.

“We need to have a coalition of reality in our politics and Republican leaders need to be held accountable for not inhabiting that real space that we all should live in,” he added.

The notion of “deprogramming” Trump supporters has been fiercely promoted by those on the left in recent days following the November presidential elections and the storming of the U.S. Capitol this month.

In a recent video promoted by the left, citizens are called upon to become cyber detectives to monitor and report fellow citizen Trump-supporters to authorities.

The threat addressed is described as emanating from “radical” conservatives who live among us. The clip states:

THE GREATEST THREAT FACING AMERICA TODAY COMES FROM WITHIN: RADICAL EXTREME CONSERVATIVES, ALSO KNOWN AS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. THEY’RE HIDDEN AMONG US, DISGUISED BEHIND REGULAR JOBS.

THEY ARE YOUR CHILDREN’S TEACHERS. THEY WORK AT SUPERMARKETS, MALLS, DOCTOR’S OFFICES, AND MANY ARE POLICE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS.

The video has received over four million views since.

On Thursday, Vanity Fair published an interview with cult expert Steven Hassan detailing how to go about “deprogramming” Trump supporters, while arguing for a “massive education” effort involving the participation of schools, mental health professionals, law enforcement, media, politicians, and intelligence agencies. Last week, Hassan appeared on CNN and stated that “all of America needs deprogramming” due to the negative influence of President Trump.

On Monday, Hassan published an infographic with steps to take to “free your loved ones” from Trump’s “cult.” Last week, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson referred to Trump’s supporters as “members of a cult” that need to be “reprogrammed.”

Another End Times Ping

The demonically possessed are really after Conservatives and Christians. And they have nasty plans in store for us apparently.

We win however, because Christ is faithful and will destroy them. That is guaranteed!

PM me if you wish to be added to or removed from the End Times Ping List.

Maranatha!

Just imagine if they didn’t cheat and Trump was still President, and our side started talking about de-programming and re-programming them. They would go nuts, and justifiably do, and would certainly call us devisive.

Don’t ANY of these people own a mirror?

When radicals want to program millions of everyday citizens, they will never ever ever allow a mirror to be held up to them, psychologically speaking.

I think that anyone that would believe anything this rag prints is being programmed . . . . to be a socialist.

Sorry, guns are no longer much of a help here

Especially against a government that has way more guns and ammo then you.

They are already being deprogrammed; that’s why Trump won in 2016 and got more real votes in 2020. It’s not what Brian Klass and WaPo have in mind, but Trump tapped into the fact that millions of Americans have not had real political representation since January of 1989.

'How many ballots am I holding up, Winston?'

'Four.'

'And if the party says that it is not four but five hundred thousand--then how many?'

'Four.'

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston's body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O'Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.

From 1984 - with a couple of updates for 2021.

The exact words of my mentor and passed away freeper, Legion5999.

The author is correct though. We’ve been programmed to believe to trust plans. We’ve been steadfast in our belief that tier system is self healing. Lin Wood, Orky Taitz, SCOTUS judges and Qanon.

Our programming is being removed and we are being reprogrammed to understand that our salvation had always been in christ and our earthly tools have been provided by John moses browning.

“I am brown, so I’m feeling left out.”

I don’t think “deprogramming” and “reeducation” are what they have in mind for people like you.

Well, there’s some sad news for these morons....we ain’t “robots” like they are.
The so-called “reprogramming” is their idea of “unity”.
They can ALL go pound sand where the sun don’t shine.
