    The entire modern “conservative movement” is completely astroturfed. It’s all funded and sponsored by the elites, in order to convince people to reject policies intended to improve their own lives, in favor of policies that exclusively benefit the elites.

      It’s almost as if someone figured out that conservatives, in an effort to feel the need to play the victim, will react negatively and thus be more engaged when presented with non-conforming news.

      A sort of dissonance…that happens cognitively.

        Conservatives love playing the victim.

        Trans women existing = an attack on all women existing

        Not being allowed to pressure children into praying at school = being denied religious freedom
