    Let's get back to the supposed subject of this thread. I like the way you think half of Americans think the same way.

    First, it's not half of Americans that need deprogramming, in Hillary's estimation. Just the rabid MAGA followers. She also qualified when she said "deplorables". That group is represented by those convicted of crimes related to Jan 6. They are criminals, not patriots, brainwashed though they may be.

    Second, the brainwashed only need to turn off the endless spout of lies coming from the likes of Fox, OAN, Newsmax, the conspiracy crazies, and especially those politicians only in it for themselves, like Trump. You should try it.

    So your question is answered.

    So let's take the time and effort to look into your claims.
    1. The FBI is visiting homes of Trump supporters for the purpose of investigating 'terrorists.
    Of course this is worded so that it seems that anyone who has ever supported Trump has been, or will have, his or her home "visited" by the FBI as they have been labeled as terrorists.
    Ridiculous on the face of it. What is the FBI really doing? They are investigating domestic violence, especially the threats and violence directed at our government, such as the violent insurrection of Jan. 6, and the continued threats being directed at government officials, poll workers, etc.
    As such the FBI has instituted a subcategory of domestic terrorists, "AGAAVE-Other". That is "domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party." Nowhere does it state that that group must be or is only Trump supporters, it can include Biden supporters, or any other group. ~ Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears

    Of course when you read the headline you get the impression that the FBI is targeting Trump supporters, you have to actually read the entire article to understand what the FBI is actually doing.

    2. Should the Catholic church be infiltrated with FBI agents, all writing 'reports' to 'save democracy'?
    This is a question aimed at inciting outrage.
    Again the intent is to make it seem that the FBI is going to infiltrate the entire Catholic Church and every parish, nunnery, monastery, school, and CCD class.
    What is really going on is that an FBI memo appeared expressing concern over one group of Catholics in Richmond, Virginia who may being using a preference for the Latin Mass to promote white supremacy. In other words they were looking into the possibility of white supremacists in a fundamental Christian sect (as the Tridentine Mass was restricted in 1962 by the Pope).
    While investigating a possible white supremacy link, a poorly worded memo was issued by some unknown FBI worker. And that's it. The memo was removed and the FBI has stated "The FBI is not anti-Catholic in any way, shape, or form, and does not target people of any faith because of their religious beliefs." ~
    FBI Used Undercover Agent to Target Catholic Church: Jim Jordan
    Again, notice the misleading headline. It is an accusation made by Jim Jordon. No undercover agents have targeted the Catholic Church. They were looking at potential violent white terrorists, no matter what their religion.

    3. Should FBI agents be dispatched to school board meetings to arrest and or detain 'wrong thinking'?

    Again a question aimed at inciting outrage.
    The real story is that after the president received a letter from the National School Boards Association asking him to look into threats against school board members and school employees, it instigated a series of meetings with governmental leaders to address those threats of violence and criminal conduct.

    4. Should the medical profession be used to enforce Hillary's deprograming via drugs, medical procedures, psychological testing and identification, and registration of conservative dissension?
    There's that baby eater at it again!
    This comes from a statement by Hillary to Christiane Amanpour during an interview about those who still support Donald Trump. Here it is, "Because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen."
    Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, who has left the party in disgust, explains it best:


    5. Hiring and placement of prequalified/reliable Progessive judges who will base decisions upon their personal emotions so as to identify, remove, and criminally punish those they can readily determine as 'bad guys'
    I suggest you look into The recent Supreme Court.

    6. What method of permanent identification of conservative dissidents do you favor?
    Again a stupid question aimed at inciting outrage. You're trying to compare an imagined scenario that you made up to tell us that if we aren't conservatives, why, we must be Nazis!

    So this is why I tend to ignore your posts. You take ten minutes to give us a list of out of context rants, that upon inspection are found to be nothing more than b.s. aimed at inciting outrage by mis-categorizing, mis-interpreting, and mis-representing reality.
    Without any citations, I would add.
    And then we have to spend hours of time pointing out how you are wrong.
