Most of the time the left don't need to work very hard to advance their agenda because conservatives fall over themselves to do the work for them
For those who need it spelled out for them: The purpose of popularizing a holiday no one had ever heard of which focused on slavery a few weeks ahead of Independence Day was always to replace July 4th
Conservatives, who refuse to understand how this works, rush forward to get "free" leftist points by showing how against slavery they are, like that was ever a real question
The left still hates them, they still lose the black vote, and progressives get to swap the American founding with another narrative about slavery and oppression

The idea of "separation of church and state" did not remove the reality of conflicting moral visions

Instead it created selection pressures which favored an ideology which could circumvent the formal restriction 1/🧵
Formal religions were essentially banned from being adopted by government organizations, taught in schools, and eventually from even participating in the public square 2/
Because progressivism, or wokeness if you prefer, has no holy book or formal church it faces no such restrictions, and because humans are deeply narrative and religious creatures we will inevitably adopt such a framework 3/

To understand why your board game is now about climate change and social justice we need to talk about the German cat 🧵/1
In the early 1930s there was a Jewish journalist living in Germany. The journalist loved cats so he had a subscription to a cat magazine. At first the magazine had articles about grooming your cat, toys for your cat, what you would expect in a magazine dedicated to cats. /2
But as the 30s went on the journalist started noticing articles appearing in the magazine about the German cat. How the nature of German cats were superior. How essential the loyalty of German cats were. Slowly some variant of this message made it into every article. /3

For a long time progressives made great strides by transferring conflicts of moral vision out of the realm of the sacred and into the realm of the scientific

By making things cold, clinical, rational, and secular the left were able to deconstruct load bearing social norms 1/🧵 Image
It's hard to sell the redefinition of marriage in a religious context, but if you can shift the discussion of sexuality to the realm of biological determinism then it becomes easy to advance your political ideology 2/
It doesn't matter if the left immediately abandons that biological determinism the minute it makes contact with any other social issue, they never really cared about the science

They just cared about the political victory it could deliver 3/

Hilariously Target is trying to avoid a Bud Light backlash by adopting the same middle of the road strategy 1/🧵
They’re trying to pull a head fake, giving one minor concession hoping conservatives will be satisfied

Meanwhile they turn to the LGBTQ mob and woke investors with a vague accusation of “violence” which allows them to pretend they are doing this for safety reasons 2/
As I explained previously these companies still need red America for their bottom line but they simultaneously need to appeal to the new elite religion

They can’t be seen directly concerning to the plebs 3/

Hard not to laugh at the very particular hell Anheuser put itself in

Let’s look at how the execs painted
themselves into this corner 1/🧵 Image
Bud Light appeals to red America, it bills itself as the beer of the working man

There’s a reason it’s called out by name in several country songs, this is the demographic Anheuser specifically targeted up until recently 2/
But red America is quickly becoming an unacceptable audience to appeal to, especially the white working class

It’s filled with wrong kind of people, you know, the ones who might not want to trans their kids 3/

It's pretty simple

DeSantis is your guy if you think a more buttoned down executive with serious policy execution can right the ship

Trump is your guy if you think that the most valuable thing that can be done is to discredit the entire system itself
I respect both positions though I lean heavily toward the latter

This isn't complicated and I don't understand why people are having exhausting proxies of this conversation when this is the real issue
We'll I guess I do understand it

Establishment guys and policy wonks need it to be DeSantis because otherwise their role is kind of meaningless

MAGA Inc insurgent types need it to be the latter because they are largely frozen out of the institutions
