I remember long ago when AOC first became talked about by conservatives. Fox News had popped up bullet points on the screen of some of the things she’d been talking about in her message to people, and then quickly removed them when they realized that without a label, even hard core Republicans might be okay with them.
A lot of the conversation about public policy has degraded to “Listen to this bitch, she sounds so fucking dumb, who talks like that? A dumb bitch, that’s who” and “Shut up, you’re poor and you just want everyone else to be poor”.
FOX took a minute to evolve from its William F. Buckley / Milton Friedman style highly academic bullshit to its modern WWE-style punching a nerd in the dick on TV and calling them gay incarnation. As a result, the reactionary social media has largely displaced them among under-60 conservative ahem “thought-leaders”.
That’s how they do it. They convince everyone that LGBTQIA+ people and immigrants are the reason everything sucks, so we need to sacrifice everything in order to deal with them. Then when someone says “I want a bunch of good things that everyone wants, and also protection for LGBTQIA+ and abolishment of ICE!” they see those last 2 things and immediately throw out everything else that they would love to have, because that’s the sacrifice they’ve been conditioned to make.

They did the same thing when portraying Mamdani:
Don’t threaten me with a good time
And chose such a great photo of him as well, to go along with it, hahaha.
I’ve never seen a photo of this dude that didn’t look great though, tbh. He’s photogenic as fuck
Wait, Fox News framed them as bad things? Jfc I suppose it IS Fox News. Their viewers are stupid as fuck.
You know we’re fucked when Make the world a little less worse for some people is enough to send 1/3 of this country into a shitfit.
