If someone wants to show me the clues that it's all a fake, my sense of the world as a logical place would appreciate it.

I'm not surprised that the well-meaning career public servants in a commission like that are going slowly insane right now as they try to figure out how best to ensure the basic safety of an increasingly absurdly stupid and defiant American public. The CPSC is definitely the kind of place Trump would be attacking as part of the "deep state" because they care about safety and consumer rights, not business profits.

I read this the other day, saw there was like 14 posts in a row. In post number two he uses, as the very fundamental basis of his reasoning, the "fact" that emotions = feminine and logic/fact/reason = masculine. And then it just got worse and worse from there

They sure do want to just double back down on "men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and there exists nothing more complicated about humanity"

Ask me about how people having a bad reaction to MSG makes them racist, because I've never heard of gluten sensitivity

He also has something about trans people being also from Venus in case anyone was wondering since trans people do something called postmodernism that's based purely on emotion and my brain is broken from trying to translate all of this idiocy

It's very real and it's been operating that way for years. Can't find it right now but I remember an interview with the person who runs it; the thinking is basically "no one is going to read boring poo poo about smoke alarm expiration dates; we can't change the content but we can change the boring".

Smart guy there. That's genius-level thinking.

I suppose the only way you could make a facebook version of this strategy is to release graphics suggesting some kind of conspiracy, or use 'subtle' racism.

Here you go

That's basically the argument the guy makes: "desire for dominance" here means "wanting to be dominated".
Apparently the game centers around a hyper capitalist crony-capitalist "authoritarian" landlord named Tom Nook who controls your life and the whole point of the game is to please and appease him, which betrays the liberal desire to follow and obey authoritarians, and conservatives don't like that which is obviously why conservatives don't play Animal Crossing. Incidentally his source for "conservatives don't play Animal Crossing, its players are mostly leftists" is... based on nothing. He has no facts to support it, it's just how he feels. But you better believe he's shouting down everyone in the comments for not backing up their arguments RATIONALLY and with DATA.

Dominating others is the core of right wing beliefs and they are functionally incapable of understand any other point of view. I will not be taking questions.

When you hear/read "postmodernism" from a right wing thinkpiece it's a dog whistle for "cultural Marxism" which in turn is a dog whistle for "the ridiculous leftist notion that (group) should be treated with respect and not discriminated against."

Replace "group" with any bogeyman du jour but it often refers to LGBTQ people.

Don't forget it's also a dog whistle for "Jews". "Cultural Marxism" is a replacement phrase for "Cultural Bolshevism" which was an idea the literal Nazi Party used to assert that left-wing political movements were all run by a vast Jewish conspiracy to destroy white Christians.

It's literally the philosophical heritage of Nazis.

I wasn't in a position to read the news or even be on the internet often, or be informed on politics very much for the first couple years of the Trump presidency.

I learned @realDonalTrump was not a parody account during the Ukraine scandal last year, for 3 years I thought "there's no way he could be that loving stupid" because of tweets like this.
