So what the far right wants is simplicity and freedom from difficult ideas that run counter to lizard-brain intuition, preferably presented using short words.
I highly recommend going over to the link and reading the whole thing; it has so many well-written thoughts the excerpt doesn’t do it justice. I’ll paste the quoted paragraphs, but it’s over 299 characters so I’ve got to put up an image and add it to that. Enjoy my violets starting to come in.
I had a thought similar to this the other day but this excerpt lays it out waaaaay better. MAGA women in particular being forced to adopt the ultra woman persona just to have a seat at the men’s table, forsaking everything else, especially intelligence.

Correct. Straight men and women are in an arms race with each other to push the poles of gender to the utmost degrees. And if ever they should let off in the slightest, they will fall into dysphoria. That's gender affirming care.
Snorted my dawn cup of tea, because this immediately conjured an image of the over-inflated lips of the bleach-blonde, orange toned & botoxed 30 something lass who is busy on FB in my chunk of Goldiwood, having a good old Henny-Penny about the climate 200 candidates here.

That's incredibly good. I've never quite understood this weird macho nonsense, maybe because I came out at 16, torched the closet and never looked back.
It wasn't always easy (I was messy in certain ways that therapy helped with) but I'm a 60 year old queen with a good life.

Self-mutilating MAGA affirming care is the greatest expression of commitment to patriarchy and white male power.

Goes hand in hand with the piece about being governed by the biggest losers on earth.
