We can quibble about the respective philosophical origins or whatever but modern American conservatism is mostly about making yourself mad because you heard theyāre making Count Chocula Latino
pretty much the only people with whom you might compare leftists and get this result is the comfortably privileged "apolitical" people who can't be assed to be dragged into the rightwing hate-campaigns but also can't be assed to care about anyone else. but i'm not sure there's a lot of those left?
El ChĆ³culo
I am now intrigued by the crossover possibilities with Cholula. Surely spicy-sweet breakfast cereal is worth experimenting with?
Mad because it's flavored with natural sugar and not Archer Daniels Midland supermaket-to-America high-fructose corn syrup.
The only legitimate reason to be mad at a cereal's mascot choice is how they tossed out 2 of the canonical 3 Cinnamon Toast Crunch chefs for no reason
It's so much mental stress being a conservative: always being on the lookout for someone to be offended by, spotting them, expressing the offense ... repeat. It's neverending!
Psychologically, modern conservatism is some weird combination of Id, nihilistic hedonism and infantilism. Millions of manchildren with tenuous object permanence just getting constantly angry at the perceived lack of treats or whatever the current Rufo-inspired set of jangling keys is.
I mean with a name like Chocula it implies Latina. Suspect making him a woman would enrage them even more.
I definitely know my share of leftists who believe that you're not allowed to be happy because someone elsewhere on earth is sad, but "conservatives don't believe in rage bait" is such a clueless take
Watched a trump truck drive over the bricked roundabouts because he must hate roundabouts (?) but then stopped at stop signs. I could not make the cognitive dissonance up nor explain the level of anger towards a traffic mitigation strategy lol
