Another factor to consider was the demise of the Religious Right that roughly coincided with the Great Recession and the rise of Barack Obama. The "New Right" finally decided to fight back because the biggest cliques in the Right (Religious Right and the neocons) had finally withered away and lost any kind of actual relevance even within their own side.

The Left knew how to win a culture war, but only against the neocons/fundies/traditionalists. The Right did not "concede the culture" to the Left. They fought an earlier culture war and fucking lost hard in the 2000's once Bush was no longer around to prop them up and the neocons no longer viewed the Moral Majority as useful.

Gamergate was an unimportant autistic internet slapfight by itself but it had that "Franz Ferdinand" effect where it snowballed out of control. The Left seemed like it couldn't fight a culture war because they were fighting the last war, as it were. 4chan shitposters and guys who just wanted to play video games in peace turned out to be a trickier opponent than hillbilly preachers, church ladies, Florida Man lawyers, and the neocons who bankrolled them.

The funny thing about GamerGate to me was that I came find out about it while in progress and nobody could explain to me what it was. I didn't know any "supporters" at the time, and the ones that fought against it were "THEY'RE NAZIS!!! FUCKING NAZIS!!!!" and I'd be like "How so?" and they'd just scream at me and accuse me of defending Nazis, when really all I was doing was trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

So I had no clue what GamerGate even was for a long time, but the reaction to it was so hyperbolic, that I couldn't help but think the ones going against the Gaters were batshit crazy.
 
Is anyone else seeing these emoji-laden Trump ads on Youtube or did the algorithm mistakenly tag me as an 18 year old Tiktok user?

I think Trump just found out what Youtube clickbait is

Apparently he plans to make a stop in Georgia, but he also pulled plans for a 6 million dollar ad blitz in Texas. Make of that what you will.
I thought it over and Biden has a very small chance to win those states, and I mean very small. If Beto beat Cruz or Abrhams became the Georgia governor, then he would've had a chance. But those two lost to their republican opponents, and what's more is that the Republican governor got a double digit victory and both of the Democrat candidates in those notable races had a lot of money thrown into them. My personal best bet for Biden in those states is that he loses by a slim margin, but I also give him a slim chance of winning them but that's if Nate Plastic is right.
 

They aren't even trying to hide that they want you to vote Democrat.

Thats what makes the dems claim about Stacey Abrahams being the real governor So stupid. She lost by a huge margin.

"Mistakenly" 😜😜😜😜

Don't question Big Algorithm, he knows what's best for you!

(I've been getting ads for local legislature races, Biden talking to the screen, and boomers talking about how important it is to give Trump 4 more years. Plus a direct response from Trump himself. Never seem to get the funny shitposting ads.)

Edit to avoid doublepost:
Trump rally in Michigan. He's playing clips of Biden saying dumb stuff on the huge screen.

God they are desperate, is this movie even still relevant in popular culture. The last time I heard about it was when I was real little. I doubt many Millenials or Gen Z will even recognize it that much. This sort of feels like a Gen X only thing, they are the ones who typically bring it up other than the usually LGBT pseudo-intellectuals that need to read its messages on Trans people.

Also, is this not the movie that is deemed as super transphobic by the left and a mockery to the LGBT community. I am a little surprised they would reference such a problematic film in 2020.
 
Was there any actual evidence that many Hillary supporters stayed home in 2016 because she had it "in the bag"? All I know is that black turnout was down for obvious reasons.

If some stayed home because they thought she would win, then I imagine some Trump supporters stayed home because they thought it was impossible for him to win. I don't know if either occurred to any significant extent though.

He did a 7-figure ad buy starting last night at midnight. 24 hours of damn near every ad being Trump.

Tumblrettes like it, so it can't be problematic.
 
Do they, I have seen people complain about it being problematic.

Whatever, trying to figure out Social Justice police is just asking to walk into contradiction station.
They're deeply divided on RHPS. The older LGBT folk are more likely to like it and identify with it as part of their/gay culture while the younger people in the "everything is racist and transphobic especially movies and video games for kids" camp are more likely to find it problematic like you said.

Makes sense. I think I remember everyone’s favorite lolcow Jerry Pete throwing a tantrum over it being problematic to trans like himself. I would assume the older gens that grew up with it view it as a classic, while your YT youngster wants to spin it as bigotry for views.
 
Voting for Trump is basically a “safe” way for people to jam a thumb in the eye of Clownworld (for lack of a better word). There are a lot of people, myself very much included, who are absolutely sick of how the modern day cult of wokeism has turned everything in our lives into a dumpster fire of cringe-inducing awkwardly shoehorned-in intersectionalism. There is simply nowhere to escape the cult anymore: virtually all mass market entertainment (movies, TV, literature, videogames, and even fucking niche aspergian hobbies like knitting or cooking) is riddled with social justice cancer. It’s anti-human, anti-fun misery and it feels absolutely suffocating to many, MANY people.

I think that the number of voters in America who are tired of and disgusted with all of this is greatly underestimated by the koolaid drinkers. A lot of us just want to hit back and watch these people go through paroxysms of cognitive dissonance when Trump gets reelected and aren’t expecting much beyond that. That fat fuck Michael Moore was right when he said that electing Trump was the biggest “FUCK YOU” in history. The Democratic party has apparently to this day not seriously considered that their cultural brand is simply odious and unappealing, and that more than anything else is why they lost in 2016 and will be the single biggest reason they'll lose in 2020. If they’d eased up on the wokescolding horseshit in the last four years, they would now be in a much stronger position to sweep Trump out of office and would have been able to outflank him on policy. Instead they’ve quadrupled down on it, and now seem to be unable to understand why right wing populism is surging in the western world.

That right there is what the silent majority rhetoric is referring to: people who are tired of being hectored by nigger, tranny, and faggot issues everywhere they turn in their daily lives, and just want to get back to grilling. It remains to be seen if this cohort still outnumbers the lost and the damned, but I personally think it does and I also think a great many more have shifted over to this side after the shitshow of the last four years. I suppose we’ll find out next week, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

They still think Evangelicals have any influence at all in the party. Pat Robertson will call out Trump for something or another and the Dems will go 'Aha! His base is cracking finally.' Meanwhile I'm like, "Who gives a fuck about what Pat Robertson thinks?"

The Dems haven't updated their priors in thirty years. They're not just fighting an enemy who is long dead, they're fighting an enemy whose children are long dead.
If some stayed home because they thought she would win, then I imagine some Trump supporters stayed home because they thought it was impossible for him to win.
I think both happened. But the effect is greatly asymmetrical. Lots more Dems stayed home than Republicans. It's a matter of different personalities. Conservatives have feel more of a duty to take care of their obligations, even if that means going through the motions. I went out to vote four years ago fully expecting Killary to win. But I did it anyway because I'm supposed to.

I feel like these people are the same ones who will never seem to grasp that their party is pretty much split in three directions thanks to AOC and Tulsi, maybe a fourth if we include Trump. They honestly believe the progressives will just get down on their hands and knees for Biden because Trump is so terrible and they will see the truth that this is the only way to a stable America.
