That would explain a lot of the bizarre hype-trains around very obvious weird psycho losers. At the same time, I could make plausible claims that the Krassensteins, Pete Buttigieg, and half the MSNBC staff exist to make Liberals look like freaks and losers. Or that Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, and Ron Watkins are some kind of Trotskyist Accelerationists intent on bringing the entire GOP down from the inside.
I certainly wouldn't put some deep pocket dorks in the Mercer family from sponsoring this shit. But I see so much insane shit at every end of the political spectrum that I'm just kinda skeptical of its efficacy.
I think there was a big spike of fear, particularly between '16 and '20, thanks to the Bernie Wave and a lot of uncertainty around the core competency of the Democratic Party. People were waiting for liberal institutions to just kinda implode in the face of conservative culture warriors and for a more economically populist DemSucc wing to take its place.
But since that didn't happen and now The Adults Are Back In Charge and it looks like the GOP is the party that can't shoot straight, I have to assume fear of a domestic left wing insurgency has ebbed considerably.
