Manchurian Americans

"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."
--Captain Bennett Marco (The Manchurian Candidate)

In the film The Manchurian Candidate, soldiers of a US Army platoon captured during the Korean War are brainwashed by their communist captors. Part of their programming is to respond with script answers to particular questions. For example, when asked about how they felt about Raymond Shaw, their platoon sergeant, the soldiers robotically utter a line identical to Captain Marco's above.

We are now seeing this play out on a daily basis in America. Script responses to people who contest the wisdom of masks, vaccines, global warming, programs of diversity and inclusion, open borders, social justice initiatives, et al.

No thought. Just programmed script.
