Their worldview is born out of ignorance, and their response to being unable to materially parse a way through the fog to their end goal (because all their mechanisms for action are idealistic liberalism/fascism) is to willingly engage in disingenuous behavior to try and weasel their way into what they want.

They took er jerbs but with the straights infiltrating lgbt spaces, events, and lingo.
Conservatives screaming about the free market then screaming even louder when the free market does things they don’t like
"the free market is perfect, that's why we force it to aggressively and violently subsidize our ideas"
