The right isn’t happy unless it’s panicked about some moral outrage. In the absence of anything to be panicked about they make things up to be panicked about.
I just described this phenomenon to a friend of mine today. We were talking about how racism evolved by the same people to be disgust against gay/trans folk. I explained to him that conservatives require an outgroup to hate on in order to operate and be happy.
This mother fucker took a second and said “Do you think modern conservative discrimination was caused by the fall of the Soviet union? I mean, when communism was a big threat everybody was united and happy hating the soviets”
My boy really trying to paint the red scare as a good thing
technically he was right. Indeed if we all hate communist, we don’t hate gay or blacks.

The red scare was used to fuck over those same folks
I’m personally unhappy with arms being sent to Israel workout approval of shitbox Congress (no typo), and how bad housing and food prices have gotten… But not really a panic, those are very real things.
Not this anti-furry shaming bullshit. What a waste of people’s time for something hurting nobody.
The high cost of living isn’t a moral panic. The satanic panic, the satanic messages in rock music panic, the drag queen sorry time panic, and the furry litter box panic are moral panics.
Moral panic.

Really? What is the current moral panic of the Democrats?

Almost as dumb as that (both sides) argument.

Indeed, that’s why I never once mentioned being in panic 😉
That’s interesting since the question was specifically about moral panics.
Being nonsensical: a human attribute. Thanks for your comment 😊
The potential death of democracy is probably pretty forefront, but they certainly don’t focus on it enough.
