The Big Delusion 

The set of beliefs of the Americans in 2020 who follow Hate Media. The Big Delusion is the result of 3 decades of Rush Limbaugh and others on conservative radio, 25 years of Fox News, a decade of hateful social media and the rise of an immoral political party dominated by Donald Trump. These beliefs include thinking the 2020 presidential election was stolen, the Coronavirus pandemic was a hoax or at least dishonestly overblown, that Democrats are inherently bad people who want communism, the mainstream media is corrupt and dishonest, that darker-skinned people are unsafe and inferior and that their like-minded community, and all that they stand for, is under assault.

After years of trying to talk sense into Gil, I've concluded he is an unsalvageable victim of the Big Delusion. I knew he was on the road to crazy when he was consuming so much Rush Limbaugh in the 1990's, but there wasn't much I could do about it then, and nothing I can do about it now. A mind ruined. It's so sad.
