From the latest SCOTUS decision, we have a Trump-packed reactionary court filled with religious fanatics. Progressives have had bigger obstacles.

I’m thinking Cultural Stagnation is no longer an issue, when the culture is going to war with itself. Next battle: The recall. Larry Elder is a religious fanatic.

As I see it, Cultural Stagnation is exactly was conservatives are striving for.

Another year, another Bond movie. Yes, this Cold War fossil lives on and on. Meanwhile, poor Robin Hood is just an investment firm. Have the Brits lost their cultural mojo? They haven’t done sh#t since Harry Potter. I’m sticking to anime.

Are we still in cultural stagnation, or are we entering a time of cultural revolution? Who’s revolution would it be? Or maybe it’s a counter-revolution.

Gosh, the right is having so much fun attacking wokeness and CRT! I’m envious. Are Millennials buying it? Not my problem but I’m curious.

Good thing Turk mentioned “Let’s Go Brandon” so I don’t have to.

Looks likes right-wing media is in full attack mode on the libs. Can they turn the tide of cultural change? They are working hard to agitate the working class with red herrings like CRT and trans rights, and the Commies are coming. It will be fun to see how successful they are.

Does the right really think they can win the Culture War with something like “Let’s Go Brandon”? How many people beyond the NASCAR crowd does that appeal to? I could be missing the point.

I’m enjoying how the right is falling all over itself to proclaim how “wokeness” was killed by Virginiageddon last week, when from where I sit it was the right that elevated wokeness into a thing. The right always needs something to elevate into a thing to stoke the outrage machine, but they always have to find a new one. Who would have guessed the Democrats would turn into the calm party?

So now I’m hearing the decline in movie-going is because people are sick of Hollywood’s “wokeness”. Sounds kind of far-fetched, but if it’s true, what are all the anti-wokeness bozos replacing it with in our culture? Where is their alternate culture? Am I just that out of it? Well, I am almost 70 so whatever cultural withitness I ever had is probably faded away…

Once again, Bill Maher is the toast of the Newsmax crowd. Did he just get old? Or does he know where the money is? Who needs him?

On Newsmax today there is a picture of some anti-abortion young ladies praying to have R v W overturned. Behind them is a picture of a lion, Aslan no doubt, Lewis’s stand in for Jesus. Personally, the White Witch was my favorite. She wore such stylish outfits. Then Aslan ate her.

An article in today’s fish wrap describes how anti-abortion zealots are already planning their state by state battles to end abortion rights after the probably predictable SC decision in July. They are looking forward to a new stage in the culture war as the SC throws gas on the fire. And they quoted one of the zealots saying it was good it was happening right before the midterms. Couldn’t it backfire when all the Guns ‘n Jesus states rush to crush women’s reproductive rights? I would also expect enlightened women to flee red states but then again I expected lots of Republicans to flee the GOP when Trump was nominated.

So West Virginia’s governor attacks Hollywood by wagging his dog’s butt at Bette Midler. I guess that might appeal to the hick populace, but it seems if might backfire in the culture wars. He’s like your crazy redneck uncle.
