The only thing he's kinda wrong about is the culture war being useless.

It's insanely effective at getting assholes to vote for Republicans. It has become some scumbags entire identity

But you don't understand! Some teacher in a school I've never heard of, in a city I've never been to told one of their students that its "OK" to be transgender. Therefore, I think we should defund the ENTIRE educational system.

/s

I had to add the "/s" because I know idiots that say things exactly like this.

It is useless to any sane person who doesn't want people to fight each other.

I stand by my conviction that the massive far-right propaganda machine that dominates social-media and television viewership is outright mind-control. It works less well on those who are educated, but it works well enough.

And then there's people like my dad, a literal rocket scientist (retired now) who is a FOX News grandpa and a devoted MAGA loyalist. He should know better, but his media diet of fear, rage and culture bullshit is so sweet and tasty!
