Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.
Nothing else makes sense to me.
In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?
If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!
And why is that a perfectly human response? Because no one ever wants to feel like they are being bullied or ridiculed or mocked or pushed into doing anything. --John Nolte
???!!!
Oh, I get it--Nolte is using reverse psychology on his readers to get them to get vaccinated. He understands that the only way his readers will get vaccinated is if they can see it as a way to thwart a Liberal plot to deprive them of their liberties.
Staying alive, one would think, is something of a prerequisite for exercising your liberty. But dying, of course, is preferable if it's a way to thwart what the Libs want. So now that Nolte has uncovered the real reason that Biden and Fauci have been so insistent on people getting vaccinated, by using reverse psychology to kill off MAGA voters, MAGA voters can finally stick it to the Libs by getting vaccinated and staying alive. Brilliant.
And this is such an classic example of projection in the way people on the Right are particularly prone. As I said in a post earlier this month--whatever dark, nasty motivation people on the Right asserts about the Left, it's almost always something that they are already doing or want to do. So it's very revealing when Nolte says,
"I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!"
These people cannot imagine anybody being motivated by anything other than whatever nasty thing motivates them.
Now if the Dems could just figure out a reverse psychological strategy to manipulate MAGA voters to not vote. Hmm, I know! The Dems should insist that elections in the U.S. are not rigged so that MAGA voters will believe they are rigged for that reason making it pointless to vote. What better way to lower GOP voter turnout?
"But," you say, "the Dems are already doing that? Even Trump is telling them that they shouldn't vote." Oh my. Those Dems. They're so sneaky brilliant.
