MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

> This clash hints at a genuine fear on Trump’s part that he’s on the defensive big time in the war over ICE—not just in the political war, not just in the war that’s shedding American blood in the streets, but also in the culture war. Because the battle over ICE has become a culture war all unto itself. And Trump is losing it.
So much of the recent cultural milieu among conservatives can be traced to one simple fact: they are rapidly losing both the culture war and public opinion. At the time of the election, MAGA seemed on top of the world. They can now feel how rapidly public opinion is turning against them, and much of the deranged racial resentment on display is a reflection of this ongoing slip, and (though this is just my opinion) how liberals are relishing in “woke 2.0”, and “rubbing their faces in it”
With spontaneous chants of “fuck ICE” breaking out even at places like pro wrestling matches, conservatives are realizing they are rapidly losing what were once footholds of conservative culture. In other words, the libs somehow got football, guns, and pro wrestling in the divorce

MAGA culture is genuine dogshit slop and they know it. They need to rape America’s actual cultural institutions (like the Kennedy Center) because they never found the acceptance in main stream culture they desperately craved but were too repulsively unlikable, untalented hacks.
MAGA elites pretend to read great literary classics that should define a conservative cultural milieu but they’re deliberately illiterate morons who dont read and couldnt understand it if they could.

I’m happy MAGA decided to make their own halftime show. It’s more proof that MAGA is un-American and literally pushing itself out of the mainstream culture.
Despite all the noise about the MAGA halftime show, the Bad Bunny show blew it out of the water in terms of viewership. It may signal that Democrats and independents are the new silent majority in America.

This was the first time I cried during a halftime show. When Bad Bunny handed that boy one of his Grammys and then they did the flag parade I was weeping because this is what America should be. A celebration of all the people who live here and make it what it is.

I’ll be real after so much firey discourse I thought it was just pretty bland and mediocre as far as halftime shows go.
