Just because you’re not “weird” doesn’t mean you’re not a fascist, I guess.

Who watches a show in which EVERYONE IS AWFUL and thinks, “oh, that’s nice, it’s showing that I’m not weird.”

She is famous for deeply stupid takes - that is her brand 😁

The conservative irony detector function is notoriously bad, which is why a bunch of them persistently believed The Colbert Report was sincere.

Imagine not understanding anything going on around you, ever (apparently!)

How anyone who isn’t a raging MAGA or Christian Nationalist in the GOP can find words of praise for an oligarchy that’s clearly trying to take over the US and install an autocratic and clero-fascist regime is beyond me.

wtfanon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I believe lots on this string dont realize WLotus is taking a shot at the wealthy MAGA? This USA Today writer might have one of the dumbest observations yet. If you watch the show you realize that the MAGA voter character Lives in a fake world and follows the sheep. Church means your a good person?

That show is complete asshole trash. Tried to watch it when it first came out & just could not stomach it. This from a weird ass white woman 😆

ungoliant.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lmao the main enjoyment I get out of watching that show is fantasizing that all these rich people I hate are extremely miserable

I just finished season 1 and the momboy ruining his own honeymoon because he didn't get the slightly nicer suite that doesn't even have as good an ocean view, while proving he's a complete POS to his new wife, is proof the appeal of power to many is indulgence in being an irresponsible manbaby.

They literally are.

That article isn’t what I’m hearing in Maine from people that voted for Trump/in those areas people are expressing like I don’t really know and I even saw a trader over a it was spray-painted over a Trump sign I think by the people side because it was on a hill

kmariebell.bsky.social•1 day ago

^ “Traitor” painted over

Wondering about those polls… ?

The same people think Homelander is a hero.

Doing this before the finale is wild. People really didn’t learn from Game of Thrones.

One question I have for the author is what are conservative values? And how do Trump and Elon for that matter embody those values?

thepacketrat.net•1 day ago

They see representation…while everyone else sees loathsome ugly Americans headed toward a White Lotus denouement.

I mean they don’t even understand which side they are in Star Wars.

The number of conservatives who think they’re the Rebellion/Resistance makes me want to commit terminal scooter ankle.

Probably not an accident that the same people who say stuff like this or “The Sopranos was about cool guys hanging out” are also adamant about cutting funding to the humanities.

Right wingers do not know how to consume , understand or analyze the art they consume. It’s why they play “Fortunate Son” at rallies and MAGA moms are grooving to Chappell Roan’s “The Giver”.

fallingstarz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Right!? The characters are all so profoundly unhappy that they resort to every deeply self-destructive behavior in the human pantheon in their misguided attempts at feeling something other than pain.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•2 days ago

Parker Posey literally said I would rather be dead than poor. Not weird at all.

And let me tell you something about the financial situation of a large swath of those conservative voters you just said can 'relate to this show'

kmariebell.bsky.social•1 day ago

^ her character

playtyperguy.com•2 days ago

Imagine the televisual illiteracy necessary to assume that Leslie Bibb’s character voting for Trump is somehow a shock.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah seriously? Didn't we all assume that was the fucking case?

bpare.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also... Can we take a moment to appreciate how incredibly hilarious Parker Posey is in this season? Every scene is priceless

dwking.bsky.social•2 days ago

Years of watching the Kardashians and reality tv have rotted a lot of brains. You now need “influencers” to tell you how to think, dress and feel.

charmingmalcontent.bsky.social•1 day ago

#WhiteLotus Season 3also happens to be a REAL JUMP THE SHARK season compared to the first two.
The Trump bint is phenomenally unlikeable, as is her histrionic fading aul' skank friend..

#MikeWhite, take a beat before signing up another season?

designerplant.bsky.social•1 day ago

These people writing these White Lotus think pieces to justify their anti-woke beliefs has the same vibe of all the now Incels that watched Fight Club and came away thinking Tyler Durden is what you should strive to be like.

jeninmotion.bsky.social•2 days ago

I bet this person thinks we were supposed to aspire to be the characters in Succession.

jeninmotion.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean between this, Chappell Roan being annoying, and the list of "great art created by right-wingers" that included Legend of Zelda, I'm kind of like "ugh, teenage me was right to hate everyone even tho she was wrong."

spackjencer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Legend of Zelda?

rifka.bsky.social•2 days ago

The lesbian is “being annoying” how?

ccrraammeerr.bsky.social•1 day ago

We're at the point where people watch this and aspire to be it. Why? Because we're bored. Americans have been robbed of their ambitions by culture and technology.

Don’t put in the paper that I said I’m not weird

mmm. yeah . . .. that's the problem. They won't ever publicly back down from him. Their sunk cost is that he is part of their persona and any criticism of him is criticism of them.

It's like when they complain that Green Day suddenly turned political.

theycallme-mcnutt.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or Rage Against the Machine.

Hell, I heard someone say that about Neil Young. The guy who wrote Ohio what, almost 60 years ago?

notkatiecase.bsky.social•1 day ago

For real, people just really don't pay attention to things. People were shocked that Iggy Pop wasn't against gay people and trans people because he's an old white rich guy but like, he legitimately wore dresses on stage and walking down the street. Why would he be opposed? People are just so dumb
