The right wing media's entire business model depends on strawmanning the libs, causing conservatives to see them as "other" and being willing to discriminate against them. Then when libs don't want anything to do with conservatives (such as going no contact with MAGA family members), it confirms their biases, making them stand their ground even more.

Precisely.

We're seeing that occuring now, in real-time, with that CEO situation.

Right wing propagandists are trying damn hard to make it a "liberal" problem.

Adding this: Social Engineering and preying in the ignorance at it's finest

Which is hilarious because liberals are famously known for their love of… <checks notes>… gun violence.

Maybe people will realize that the problem is not left or right but the rich versus the people.The more they can divide us the more they can steal.

That's the problem but the rich, which control everything, will never allow it to spread it's more beneficial to instigate infighting amongst the poorest. Like crabs in the bucket

I just can't fathom how someone could be THAT rich and powerful and STILL feel like its not enough. Just go to therapy instead of strangling the proverbial puppies that are poor people with shitty health insurance.

Greed is the only addiction that society lauds.

Right wing politics is generally about that there should be a hierarchy and that it is natural and good. The people at the top deserve their things and the people at the bottom deserve their lot as well. This is the definition of Right Wing politics.

The only people that believe the right wing is going to help "the average joe" or working man have not been paying attention to current events or history.

It is the rich vs the people. But right wing politics is antithetical to an equitable society.

You are absolutely correct, a couple studies even confirmed this. The strongest predictor of conservative affiliation is ascribing to a just-world belief system.

Lol no, people will refuse to acknowledge this until the apocalypse, and even then, I’m still not sure
