Page: Maga Hypocrisy: Hierarchy is the Morality
Each Trance report created by Claude is part of a whole, interconnected research effort. Reports are created with chats, and a group of chats reside within a project. At this time (Nov 2025), there are 50 plus chats and a dozen reports. On this platform 'Ghost', we are publishing both the report and providing documentation. A reader can merely review the report and comment if so desired. If one is interested in how each report was developed, the reader can review the full documentation which are linked on the Page.
The documentation includes: the chat which shows the prompts written and then posted to Claude; the initial response from Claude and its research plan; the links found in its search and steps used to create it. Each Page contains links to these Trance research components for a specific Claude report.
Summary: Hierarchy is the Morality
This report reviewed how RW's idea of morality, of 'right vs wrong' is dependent on the status of the person or group involved. Lakoff's Moral Hierarchy is established short hand for what RWers believe is 'right or wrong', and was used to drive the research to find examples.
Trance sees two components that enforces this morality. Their rigid hierarchy is burned into the 'strict father' firmware and software.
Many public, political issues revolve around one or more of these belief categories.
George Lakoff Hierarchy
This RW rigid hierarchy impacts what is enforced and what is ignored or justified away. We've all seen examples of GOP* refusing to enforce laws or even social norms. Status is a huge component of what is 'moral'. The RW moral hierarchy interferes with the application of those rules, as even the interpretation of the rules depends on the status of the person involved.
This Hierarchy is the Morality report pulled together examples for each category in the Lakoff list.
