So. What to make of this particular kerfuffle. I could care less that Bud Light has decided to work with trans “influencer” Dylan Mulvaney. So what. I don’t see how it’s hurting anyone. And, yet, from the way MAGA “thought leaders” talk about the situation, you’d think Jesus wouldn’t come back unless Something Is Done about this particular situation.
Unlike the more concrete issues of abortion and gun control, much of the controversy over “woke” companies working with the Transgender movement is just…vibes. White (male) Christians are big fucking crybabies and anything they forces them to maybe step outside their comfort zone makes them freak the fuck out.
They don’t like what they don’t like because they don’t like it.
Now, I’ve written a lot before about how there is a specific meta issue with all of this that really fucking bugs me — the fact that there is something of a Trans orthodoxy that is so strict that a lot of well-meaning feel they have no choice but to support fascism.
But I can honestly say I had no clue who Dylan Mulvaney was until MAGA people began to freak out. MAGA has made it pretty clear on Twitter what is going on — they want to make Dylan Mulvaney so “problematic” that Bud Light has to pull out of their work with her.
This is very frothy logic and it definitely comes across as MAGA though leaders sucking their own cocks. The two sides are so siloed in their echo chambers at this point that all the ranting on the part of MAGA about Mulvaney does is make Blues like her more and Reds hate her more.
MAGA is willing to hurt their own macro goals simply because on a tactical basis they can’t handle someone disagreeing with them. And one of the cornerstone elements of MAGA is MAGA is run by the very elites that the average MAGA person hates.
But I suppose it’s inevitable that if there is some sort of MAGA revolution, that we’ll reach the “revolution eating its own young” phase of things.
Any. Fuck MAGA.
