We have in fact encountered similar things to "linguistic sequence processing". Bullshit artists, politicians with the "truthiness" of Ronald Reagan (coined by a comedian at the time). I have had personal experience being a rabbit in a spotlight where this kind of "thinking" kicks in. Got out of that game, thankfully.

Conservatives love to claim #liberal advocacy for immigration is a radical leftist policy.

Immigration has always been an American value: #Conservatives are the ones radicalized & don’t even realize it.

How America Lost Control of the Seas
Thanks to decades of misguided policy choices, the U.S. has an astonishing lack of maritime capacity.

With the news that Nancy Reagan has referred to an astrologer when planning
her husband's schedule, and reports of Californians evacuating Los Angeles
on the strength of a prediction from a sixteenth-century physician and
astrologer Michel de Notredame, the image of the U.S. as a scientific and
technological nation has taking a bit of a battering lately. Sadly, such
happenings cannot be dismissed as passing fancies. They are manifestations

Not sure why it won't let me respond to your comment directly..
If you look at my feed at all, you will see I am far from a "Republican"
If one watches PBS Newshour with any critical media literacy their drift to the right is clear. They are always doing the "both sides", treating Trump and his Reublican minons as normal, etc. But the Republicans (who I am definitely not one of) have been working on this since Reagan and they really got going in 2005 https://www.democracynow.org/2005/5/12/a_right_wing_coup_at_pbs

I'm 58, prime gammon age. Fortunately, I was educated by the Marxist Jesuits known as The Militant in the '80s.
So, when I see gammons my age, I know them. They were those weird kids "not into politics" in the '80s. THE '80s - Thatcher and Reagan '80s.
They were cunts then, they're cunts now.

Fellow citizens: What are you going to do between now and July 4, 2026, to protect and preserve our independence from a tinpot dictator❓
So, fellow citizens, I ask you:
Bow down to authoritarianism and normalize anti-democratic behavior.
Or
Reflect on the challenges facing the nation and become an advocate for policies that align with liberty, freedom, sovereignty, democracy, and the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
This is your America. The choice …

Identifying and Investigating Global News Coverage of Critical Events Such as Disasters and Terrorist Attacks
Comparative studies of news coverage are challenging to conduct because methods to identify news articles about the same event in different languages require expertise that is difficult to scale. We introduce an AI-powered method for identifying news articles based on an event FINGERPRINT, which is a minimal set of metadata required to identify critical events. Our event coverage identification method, FINGERPRINT TO ARTICLE MATCHING FOR EVENTS (FAME), efficiently identifies news articles about…

This is an especially good time for you vacationers who plan to fly, because
the Reagan administration, as part of the same policy under which it
recently sold Yellowstone National Park to Wayne Newton, has "deregulated"
the airline industry. What this means for you, the consumer, is that the
airlines are no longer required to follow any rules whatsoever. They can
show snuff movies. They can charge for oxygen. They can hire pilots right

Jack Johnson opened a multi-racial restaurant and nightclub, Club Deluxe, which he ran with his white wife.
Because of this, the authorities arrested him for violating the Mann act (transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes).
Johnson fled the country to avoid arrest, but continued boxing abroad.
Eventually he turned himself in and served time at Leavenworth Prison.
Fight- fan Donald Trump pardoned him in 2018, something Reagan, both Bushes and even…
