The approach includes imagery and language inspired by The Lord of the Rings, Halo, medieval knight and The Patriot, content more commonly associated with gaming and far-right meme communities than official government messaging.

Right wingers have no media literacy. Appropriating one of the most blatantly anti-authoritarian stories of all time thinking that they’re the good guys.

God damn... America is truly beyond saving at this point. The far right has it at the balls and the Dems are just issuing strongly worded letters and otherwise cave in to Trump.

It's not just the US though, these politics have spread like a cancer through most of the Western world.
