How the Radical Right Captured the Culture

Blame Hollywood’s “unwokening” and the extraordinary rise of right-wing podcasters on slop: intellectually bereft, emotionally sterile content that’s shaped by data and optimized for clicks.

There’s never been a better representation of Donald Trump than those generated by AI; no human being has ever been more suited to the medium. Even the images supplied by his fans exaggerate what makes him strange and terrifying to the rest of us: the strangely flat yet voluptuous contours of his face, the persnickety downward pull of his lips, that hair, that skin. At least the AI version can be made to do anything you want: lick Elon Musk’s toes, ride a unicorn, open a casino in Gaza.

Trump himself seems entranced by almost any form of digital manipulation. A week before his inauguration, he reposted an image of flames and smoke erupting on the hills behind the Hollywood sign, only the iconic lettering reads, Trump Was Right.

The author is unable to distingusish common sense and what they call “right-wing radicals.” Not allowing blacks to compete in sports is right-wing radicals. Not allowing male compete in female sports is simply common sense. Note that very2 little few (if any) people pushing for the first. But most Americans, on the left or right, are for the later.

Soooo tragic too. Because the DEMOCRATS
are so Logical and Rational!!

("TRANSGENDER")

NO SUCH THING AS "TRANSGENDER" EXISTS
ON THE FACE OF THE ENTIRE EARTH 🌍🌏🌎

And in America DEMOCRATS are adding to AND pushing this SATANIC confusion (upon the world 🌏 🌍 through USAID and the State Department while under DEMOCRAT Joe Biden)

Hopefully lurkers will TEXT 📱 📱 📱
and EMAIL 📨 📨 📨 these to others,
post elsewhere too, and wake people up

That Old Serpent 🐍 called the Devil and Satan is doing an excellent job destroying society with this madness - hard to believe that there are actually people defending this stuff

Leftists control the corporate news media. The schools and higher academia. The bureaucracy of government. The major corporations. The entertainment media. The mainstream churches. The major NGOs.

And yet they can't admit to themselves that they are the problem.

[cuz1961]

[dfwgator]

Eventually the Left turned into the thing they used to fight against.

[SaveFerris]

It would have to be
someone who voted for
Obama and Biden

Romans 1:22 describes modern Democrats

[Ann Archy]

Is that a TATTOO on her left arm!!

[SoConPubbie]

Hey New Republic, it’s called the the right ideas and policies.

Real simplee.

[Olog-hai]

That’s a man, baby.

[jocon307]

Have we captured it? Great if true!

[VRW Conspirator]

Trolling question: Should Ronald Reagan be next to George Washington and Donald Trump Next to Abraham Lincoln or vice versa?

[rbg81]

This shrill screaching is just more confirmation that the entire “Establishment” media has lost trust and is crashing and burning.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Pity that man.

[Luke21]

Get back to me when I don’t have to watch a nine commercial TV break without a single white person in it.

"Not allowing blacks to compete in sports is right-wing radicals."

Only if you allow the left to define what "right-wing" means.
