The people who elected him do also so in that sense it’s a perfect fit.
not sure I’ll ever get used to having a president who actively hates the country that elected him. it’s just very disorienting.

It might be this but I feel like it’s actually that they don’t want to admit what the actual politics was because how do you get mad about “love is stronger than hate” without questioning if you’re the baddies, so they have to leave it vague to let the base get angry over shadows.
It’s so funny that they have to say “suspected” because they couldn’t find someone who speaks Spanish, vexillology, or grids to explain to them what was going on.

First thing I can think of is maybe Yellowstone?
What’s the last broadly popular piece of culture that has modern conservative premises at its heart? I really genuinely have trouble thinking of what it could be.

The part about this moment that enrages me the most is that half the country has removed everything but hate and a gnawing emptiness and demand we follow suit
Genuine “quiet part loud” shit when you say a performer giving a standard concert performance threatens you, goddamn

There are conservatives who can make art and always have been but MAGA’s death of expertise came for artists as much as scientists.
The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.
This was a little over a year ago

Which of course is actually what makes them so unamerican to this crowd. The idea of actually loving something is anathema to conservatives
Two halftime concerts in a row where white conservatives preemptively lost their minds because the chosen artist was “unAmerican,” and the artist responded with “I am American and I love America (you pricks).”

Not to dismiss this critical point but “you eat them. In your mouth” is ad copy worthy of Don Draper ma’am
it'll take ten years of ads where a smiling man holds a can of beans in front of the camera saying "you eat them. in your mouth" before we can sell a real product again. maybe we never find the golden age of the gorilla on a drum kit ever again

You also see the reverse, like people who will unironically say that shit like Metal Gear is not political at all.
if you summarize the plots of most games that the Right rallied against - and which therefore developed extensive left-leaning LGBT fandoms - and you do not play up gender, you almost invariably describe a game about a cowboy who proves themselves against hordes of barely-human monsters
