    Yeah. For sure. Nothing is appealing about it. I guess I do buy into the idea that government policy is an expression of values, and that there is a patriotic duty (maybe this is the "appeal"?) to get us out of a situation where we, like, bankrupt people for getting sick. Or tether people hopelessly to jobs that will kill them. Ire goes. . .I don't even know where. Ugh, I'm such a baby lefty.

    Ooooohhhhh...this makes sense. So they supplanted the globalists mythology for the "bad guys" (Dems), but give a pass to the "right guys" because they're going to do good things like stop abortion or whatever. So, what's the easiest way to undermine their faith in the system? (Again, I don't know if I'm actually on board with the idea that these people can be radicalized, but let's say they can).

    So you think they're just defining "corrupt" differently? I don't know, I feel like I know plenty of right wingers who are concerned (obsessed) with the economic aspects. They talk about clinton's, and they're not talking about epstein, they're talking about arkansas land deals, for example. But I don't hear them talking about oligarchy, I hear them talking about "democracy". Like do they just have misplaced optimism in the system or something, even though they acknowledge that the whole thing is corrupt?

    Some chud couple wore swastika masks to Wal-Mart a few months ago, and I'm still super confused about how they made it out of the parking lot without getting a beating. I'm losing faith in humanity.
