Anywhey. Thanks to pole smoker showing up something kind of crystalized in my mind with regard to the topic. I’ll try to be concise because w0rdZ aRe bOriNg. In b4, “Ok, Boomer.”
Civil Rights + massive immigration =‘s GOP response-strategy
Why?
Conservatives & rural White voters realize hegemonic control of fed gov is loosening fairly quickly.
-> existential threat to elites (top 5% monied types) or status quo for Whites feeling in control of social, economic, and cultural narratives
-> Libertarian movements gain traction as GOP is perceived as (((compromised))) and ineffective
-> Libertarians push hard for AnCaps, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists, and Randians to get on board with MAGA. Cue Venn diagram between Conservatives, NatSocs, AnCaps, racists, and nutjobs.
-> Meme wars go full retard in 2015 & 2016.
So, now we have an entire generation who believe they’re powerful because they can use photoshop and dupe some ignorant (((mainstream media))) reporters to misreport their ok signs, or frogs, or troll-slogans. This brings us to the present where EVERYONE on the Right realizes they lack the political capital to prevent the inevitable demographic shift, so the GOP has resorted to overt lawlessness while the far Right literally wants to start killing people. I’m not joking. They really, really want it and celebrate it when it happens. Both bases wish for the destruction or collapse of society so White people can start over and go full on NatSoc. Not sure how the Libertarians could possibly function under that reality, though.
And people like pole smoker, born and raised in the most luxurious era of human history believe they’ll adapt happily to total warfare and the collapse of modernity. Crazy, man.
