What's worse is the media and the Democrats say NOTHING to correct it.

This is because they think it's too fringe to engage and that the majority of Republicans are reasonable and would not fall for this. Which is of course completely untrue, numbers wise.

From early buzz the Transformers prequel is apparently really good

Yeah, that had minimal recordings where Pence laid out what he believed in stark terms, and was also pre Roe overturn, thereby giving it lower salience among voters

It is the countless alt right podcast appearances and vibes and Thiel connection.

Yep, if you check out the Twitter account @Cruffalo it is all about how red pill/incel stuff is ruining Christian/right wing men. And she's a straight up Christian conservative.

It works because most Republican communication now relies on like 10 layers of preexisting outrage lore, and only really has power if you are way too plugged in to the internet.

Think about how the conservative influencers always love to just post a picture of a random short haired/fat woman or skinny bespectacled man and go "THIS is the Biden Admin's/Video Game Company's appointee to so and so," egging on their dog-brained mouth breathers to accuse said person of being trans/soy/ran through/alone with cats whatever. Does any normal mature and non-insecure person engage with the greater world in this way? Does real human interaction ever really unfold so in line with arbitrary preconceptions, or are these chuds just dredging up half-remembered tropes from movies, advertising, and TV shows pretending they can pregame real human interaction?

No, you can only understand the right's weird taxonomy of humankind if you do not interact with humankind healthily or regularly, and are a social maladapt who cannot have conversations with anyone without first sizing them up and seeing if you will have enough canned lines for bluffing your normalcy through a conversation with them.

Do you remember at the middle school dance when there was that group of guys/girls who stood in the corner not dancing because they were scared to venture off and join the crowd, but were talking especially loudly at each other so that eavesdroppers might presume they were cool? Do you remember people like this talking shit about their peers who were self-affirmed enough to unironically have a good time being silly, or scoping for a more outcast group to pick on?

That is what conservative culture is now, antisocial, resentful, sexually-anxious middle school brained losers who haven't developed the social graces to improvise through life, people who bluff as the in-group by using self-serious/dehumanizing language to slander and bring down other people minding their own business. They are just finally being called out for being the sauceless pretenders who were being excluded all along for good reason, beneath this facade of normalcy and superiority they affected by doing their own excluding.

Yeah they need the aesthetic to feel like a welcomed, known quantity before they take it on, that's why you see MAGA rappers rapping like outdated early 2000s lyrical miracle rappers, or some people calling themselves "goth right." The daring to unleash something unprecedented that they speculate will resonate en masse due to having base level empathy and sense-of-vibes is not there for the reactionary brain.

As odd as it sounds, the Dems need to just make their own stuff like this that rouses the potential reactionaries toward something more tolerant (making liberalism into the thing to conserve/retvrn to), that or create a society where people have the means and community to focus their energy on more positive preoccupations. But I also believe the lead gas poisoning of boomers permanently made them more inclined to anger, malice and resentment. Did you know that church attendance is dropping significantly among conservative men? They favor the sadism of culture war over gratitude and hope when presented with the choice.

Do you know of a book on this

 
 
 
 
 

Worst part is all the desis in the replies telling her they don't find it offensive, and Gandy telling them "you can't give these white people an inch." Just a top to bottom outrage bait grifter.
