Why can't the right produce great art, like [squinting closely] Taylor Swift, and the [squinting even more] Slate Pop Culture Gabfest.
This is oddly fascinating in the sense that it doesn't appear that the writer has spent any time with actual artists. He has so little understanding of why or how people make art.
A Matter of Tasteamericanmind.org Conservatives need to learn how to appreciate art, both for its own sake and because it will make us more effective operators in the media world.

Yeah, that's not enough for this dipshit - he clearly wants that stuff to be applauded and raved over and rewarded too. It's the equivalent of an MCU stan complaining that Ant-Man vs The Inhumans or whatever doesn't get nominated for Best Picture.

I wonder if that guy realizes how much he sounds like the kind of things Mao Zedong and Hitler used to say about artists?

It's Culture War Brain. He actually can't see the underlying ideology of media because he's only primed to look for symbols like cans of Bud Lite

I am also aggrieved that this is probably the first article in months I've been linked to from social media that I haven't been paywalled out of reading
