  • Everything you just said is more or less true, but I think you’re underestimating the complexity of the right wing ideologies and social dynamics. The psychology of a right wing politician or media head is very different from your typical right wing shit poster, or average republican voter, and you should be careful lumping them all in together as a vague “they.”

    Republicans aren’t diverse, but all large groups are internally diverse. The christo-fascist voting block has a lot of power in the party, and has direct influence over policy, but that doesn’t mean they make up the majority of Right wing voters. You have to imagine other people complexly, even the shittiest person has complicated and unique reasons for why they are so shitty.



  • That definitely true for a significant percentage of republicans (especially their politicians and media personalities) but like any large group, republicans are internally diverse, and it’s unhelpful, and potentially dangerous, to think of them as a cultural monolith with identical values.
