you have to recognize that a lot of the bone-deep panic among conservatives these last couple decades is based on them slowly losing the culture war

Eternal victimization mentality.
Who is "the regime"? GOP has trifecta control of the federal government and a big supreme Court majority. Tech and finance are on your side.
There's no pleasing these people because their demand is to dominate and to be revered for it.

Ok, but any other time?
They're sore losers, and sore winners simultaneously.
Wanted to punch him, but it wasn't my car and I needed a way home.
good luck bozos
It's about queer culture surviving, but it could apply to any of the gains of the last decades. I totally love this attitude. Just breathing fire and knowing we'll dance/piss on on their graves.

"And I took that personally..."
But really, the original “white” WASP America saw that happen in the 1940s and 50s. Eastern and southern Europeans, and Irish were made white to keep the majority.
Except, neither we nor they typically see that as Conservative Art for some reason.
You'd get painters doing all sorts of radical, avant-garde experiments, but then the state would be like "Stop working on that and paint Comrade Stalin looking at a tractor again."
They also like *everything* that is targeted at them to be as obvious and pandering as possible, so they dont want look for subtlety.
There's absolutely nothing left, spiritually or philosophically, every idea brought up immediately dropped and ditched when it seems politically inconvenient.
I take comfort in this.
Surely that couldn't have been lying and projection.
They.....honestly hate their own team, they just hate everyone else more than their team.
They can't feel good when any other conservative makes something else, much less one who's a tiny bit different.
And how it's "people who fight to exist" against "people who fight for something that doesn't affects them". Eventually they'll lose, because we just have more to fight for. Something like that.
