It's nominally Republican, but it gets kind of weird around the edges. It's a bit of a different beast than Southern conservatism.

This is functionally people's brains breaking in the same way as antivaxxers, just leftishly. Psyches deeply wounded by unaddressed pandemic trauma.

Being a pick-me assimilationist is when you have a good job and good relationships within your community, and the better your job and relationships are, the more of a pick-me assimilationist you are.

Like no actually, I don't think it's a moral failing on my end to not want to deal with aggro panhandlers misgendering me when I'm standing in line at the food truck on my lunch break.

I am at this point utterly & completely contemptuous of the kind of people who target anyone who complains about public disorder and crime affecting the quality of life in cities by saying people should toughen up I'm sorry,I don't give a shit. I'm not going to toughen up. I want my city to be nice

Mormonism is the most quintessentially American religion, for better or worse.

Tangentially related, but this reminds me of raccoon City in the original resident evil 2/3. It's set in the American Midwest, and the Urban aesthetic is American, but the actual Urban design is extremely Japanese, tight and compact. The whole city has this uncanny geographic character to it.

Mainline culture has long been so boomer centric and dominated that it causes severe cognitive dissonance to treat their culture as something for retirees. "If the Beatles are the greatest band of all time and still required listening, how can they also be Grandma's bingo night soundtrack?"

I watched my old neighbor's pit almost kill another dog on 2 different occasions. I don't understand how the city didn't put it down.

A prevailing generational philosophy of nihilism. They came up on the idea that caring about things made you a dork, and cool indifference was the way to go. So the party that says "caring about others is loser shit" has a pretty big appeal

Fuck it, I'm fully negatively polarised. Paying taxes is good in itself because it is an act of communion with the Leviathan. It is spiritually nourishing to be a taxpayer in a social democratic republic. Reaganism, whether political or cultural, is apostasy.
