Check out this video for a bonus dunk. From the description:
The right or conservatives have almost zero institutional power

The right or conservatives have almost zero institutional power
How the fuck could someone possibly think this. Like how. If the left even got a third of what we wanted, most of us would be fucking thrilled. How do rightoids get 95% of what they want and still act like they’re losing?
Those kind of right wingers believe it’s all or nothing, they either have the ability to completely eradicate their enemies or the world is lost. The core of their ideology is a death drive to eliminate the entire world simply to stop any progressive elements from existing. I don’t remember who said it, I think it was someone here, who said the final battle fascists have would be eliminating women. It’s the last distinction they could oppress and kill before destroying themselves.
This kind of thing filters into basic everyday liberals too, who will do things like refuse to call someone racist unless they hear the person vocally say the n-word. Or the whole “I’m not racist, I have black friends.” It’s also a tool to continuously ratchet up the extreme claims the right makes. They have to continue pounding away for more and more domination to make their next mainstream policy seem sane by comparison. It’s mainstream conservative ideology right now that all undocumented immigrants should be shot at the border and all gay teachers are pedophiles, stuff that was fringe just 10 years ago.
Because their whole world view is being under constant threat from invisible forces that hide in the shadows and control their world. If you take that away from them they have nothing. They are fighting an unwinnable fight that can only end in self destruction. If they ever got their thousand year reich it would devour itself in factionalism and civil war between different flavours of rightwing insanity. Funny enough there is no “Endsieg”.
Because they think the cultural Marxists have infiltrated all the schools, that rainbow capitalism means that all the CEOs have gone socialist, that media is controlled by the left, and that because there’s occasionally a black or female character in their video games that the left has taken complete control of the culture too.
