Breitbart is mad at NPR for naming @iamcardib's "WAP" as the song of the year. Naturally, the article is illustrated with an unflattering photo.
Let's be clear: The outrage isn't about the song being about sex. It's that black women made it. The commenters got the message.

Oh and look at that: A little further down the Breitbart homepage, we have another pearl-clutching article crying about a funny sweater worn by @oliviamunn paying tribute to Kamala Harris.
This is a trend that really bugged me when I was conservative....

The common denominator in these attacks and the relentless smears and lies about @AOC and other young progressive women is sexism and racism. In the GOP media ecosystem, young women cannot think for themselves. They exist only to be eye candy who repeat back old men's views.
I wrote about this a bit in 2017 in a Salon column in which I discussed the "right-wing token factory," a media machine which endlessly searches for young women and minorities of either sex who are willing to repeat right-wing propaganda: salon.com/2017/03/22/the…
Because right-wing media are so desperately searching for tokens to prove conservatives have appeal among the young and among women, they frequently will elevate people without qualifications such as Tomi Lahren who was literally offered a show by OAN fresh out of college.
So much of conservative argumentation is projection & this is another instance. Bc right-wing women are regarded as mere propaganda parrots, they regard smart progressive women, especially young ones, as galling.
AOC, Munn and others are an affront bc they actually are smart.

This is why conservative media outlets hate AOC and obsess over her so much. In 2019, they literally covered her more than the individual Democratic presidential candidates: storybench.org/fox-news-obses…
That a smart, young woman might have the gall to be progressive is also especially triggering to right wingers. They literally believe the following meme is true even though all polling and elections show that young women are much more Democratic.
A smart, young woman who is also attractive generates a "divide by zero" error for conservatives. They've been brainwashed to ignore the models and addresses who are liberal.
Of course, how attractive adherents are has no bearing on ideas' truth. But cons believe it does.

This is why they have such vicious responses to attractive minority women who are smart and progressive. It's the ultimate trigger for them. They can't take it and start lashing out.
Oh and of course, let's not forget that conservatives were just fine with having a guy who literally boasted for decades about his sex life and who claimed to regularly assault women become the president.
They can shut the hell up about a raunchy song being popular.

Oh and I just noticed how badly triggering this thread was for a lot of conservatives. According to them, Trump is good because he angers lefties. I guess that means this thread is correct then 😂 /end
PS: Here's a great essay about why attractive women are so angering to righties. My thanks to @AnnaTarkov for the link tressiemcphd.medium.com/aocs-attractiv…
