He describes the campaign messaging as an 'electromagnetic pulse weapon' that wipes out rational thought, leaving voters marching zombie-like to the polls to elect candidates who literally want their children to die overseas.

These aren't campaigns about ideas. They're psychological operations aimed at the lowest common denominator lizard brain. War. Hero. Handshake. Patriot. It's an electromagnetic pulse weapon that bypasses your reasoning entirely.
Tim Dillon mentioned reports that the military draft age could be raised to 42, meaning even older millennials could be conscripted for the Iran war.
