“Carr appeared yesterday on the radio show hosted by Scott Jennings, who describes himself as “the last man standing athwart the liberal mob.””
One of the biggest things that pisses me off about the current, and really long-standing conservative narrative, is how they try to market themselves as the underdogs. Oh poor me, I’m the one strong soldier against the evil hordes of liberals!! Like, bro. You’re the chair of the FCC. You’re shutting down shows with no resistance. You’re all getting everything you want, You’ve been getting everything you want all year long. That’s not an underdog type situation. It’s so deranged to be the literal people in power and yet still talk endlessly like this. Last man standing?! What about the literal majority of the country that voted for Trump?
This is the only way their base understands things. They have been told for decades the immigrants and “blacks” were stealing their jobs or MIGHT take some of their jobs.
BAM instantly racist and hate immigrants because they were told to do. It’s always been this stupid game with conservatives.
They need to always be losing to “Democrats and liberals” to keep up the charade. It’s sad and they are all crybabies.
They’re also heavily hypocrites. they say the left are just little children (that they probably want to fuck, tbh), that can’t handle getting their fee fees hurt, when it is in actual fact them that can’t handle getting their feelings hurt.

They get a HUGE assist from the very same “liberal media” the far right attacks all the time. For decades. That’s because the “liberal media” never really was a thing. They are the same picture, just on different points on the spectrum that’s almost all on the right.
Sure, a few outlets allowed, or did allow, a few things that acted as release valves. Like a few identity politics things, or satire that pokes fun of conservatives. But that’s mostly on the margins.
When it comes to narratives - the one that has been hilarious to me, but they’ve been pitching it since at least the 90s is that they are the true counter-culture (the 60s still really pisses off conservatives, even ones that were born long after the 60s).
Well, I sure hope so. Right now it seems younger generations might be even more captured, but I guess we’ll see.
I had a lot of hopes for my generation (Gen X) since many of us saw the hippie-to-yuppie thing and thought many boomers were selling out and cashing in as they entered the workforce, but that our generation had punk and zines, and a real DIY ethos and we’d carry the torch forward with a lot of that hippie sensibility, but with a different shape - different clothes and music and designer drugs, even if LSD/cannabis were still prevalent - and armed with the 'net, which was just being opened up to the public (for commerce and that was the fly in the ointment) and maybe more McKenna than Leary, more Coupland instead of Kerouac, etc…
And, well…you can see the results for yourself. I don’t see that spark in Gen Y or Z or alpha, either, if I’m honest. I sure hope I’m wrong, though.

also sometimes you’re not the underdog, sometimes you’re the extremely unpopular minority.
We need to stop giving them the privilege of setting the narritive
They’re literally narcissists playing the victim.

If they hated the 60’s counterculture they don’t wanna see what counterculture we’re gonna make

Ah, but someone was mean to him once. Therefore he is the victim of all victims.
