politics

I fucking hate these types of articles and I couldn’t get past the first three sentences but it sort of is impressive how in like a years time the right fucked up their big cultural putsch. Like just a year ago the whole media, including the nymag here with their whole “cruel kids table” issue, was coronating a new hard right cultural shift after years of “woke moralism.” And I could say things like oh it was only ever half the country and oh American culture has always been fascist, but I can’t deny that through the 2020s and especially the 2024 lead up to trump’s election and probably peaking at trump’s inauguration last year, it really did seem like something was in the air that was very different than the whole decade preceding it. And now, a year later, it seems like the right wing has squandered it all. Even my friend who became a Nazi in 2020 is breaking with them (I check up on him on Twitter sometimes just to see how deep he’s gone).

Where do these people go from here is my question. Do they dig their heels in deeper and move on to someone like Nick Fuentes? I could see my friend doing that, but not the woman in this story. Do they just become basic libs? That Clavicular guy seems to be doing that, and Gavin Newsom seems to be trying to court these people. Maybe once they see that the liberals are in many ways just smarter fascists they’ll fall in line. Or do they go in a different direction and become AOC libs? Or maybe the ACP reaches these people and they decide to express their setter fascism that way?

Anyway rant over
