The clearest/funniest example of this I can remember was the outcry about how movie theaters were sabotaging Sound of Freedom because the movie started late and the sound was off and the air conditioner wasn't turned on and the frame wasn't the whole way on the screen and
I liked how they bought out theaters in advance, and then complained that it was a conspiracy that the “sold out” theaters were empty.
Of course they were empty! Your groups bulk bought the tickets!
Wait you’re telling me that when one candidate gets more votes than the other that means they win the election?!?!?
“But my team has to win!!!”
“The election was stolen!!!”
“How dare they get more votes because our ideas are shitty and harmful!”
“Fraud!!”
“Stop the steal!!!!”
A couple of people I know parroting right-wing talking points, complete with the upside down flag, probably don’t vote. They are really upset about all the things the right-wing media tell them but… I highly doubt they actually vote.
Read this article this morning. The idea that MAGA simply wants a dictator and hates the electorate, in general, is an interesting take. Think about who conservatives’ are pandering to — the 1%. They don’t care what the average person wants. Voting is for plebs. Power is for rich authoritarians.
I feel like 80% of conservatives are so close to getting it on so many things. It's why it's so agonizing to see them swerve wildly in the wrong direction to become establishment pawns.
Ok, but I'm also wondering what % of general, non-conservative outrage is also this?
E.g. "wait, the companies knew the plastics would never be recycled?" or "so the mortgage interest deduction is only useful for way more expensive homes?" 😡
