    it'll be interesting to see these people have enough self reinforcing media to keep up the anger, or if the center of gravity of Fox News and the other centralized media of capital will eventually tame/incorporate them

      The hardcore TDW crowd have already disavowed Fox once they called Arizona for Biden, most are all in on newsmax and OANN now(apparently not relying on televised news sources wasn't an option)

      You might have a false dichotomy there. Conservative media and its base act as a dialectic and define one another. One of the unique things about chuds is their media gives them what they want. They're told exactly what they like to hear. If one outlet is declared traitorous, they have another. The capitalist media and their delusional petty grievance anger are both what tames them. They're one and the same. This is one of the reasons why I'm skeptical any true mass action will come from chuds based on this. As long as they have a media outlet reinforcing their beliefs, maybe even telling them Trump is the real president, they're perfectly content to stew and drive themselves into further internet brain madness.

        Good point. I'm curious to see if MAGA/chuds will vote republicans next time and how the republican party will handle it. I suppose even now there really isn't enough of them to matter. But yeah, capital in general is fine with them larping and driving themselves sphere brained.
