North American conservatives don't really have strong feelings about a lot of things unless someone told them it was part of a "radical leftist woke agenda." Then, they'll immediately become very passionate about supporting the opposite position, no matter how fucking stupid it is.
Progressives say vaccines are good? Vaccines bad.
Progressives say pollution is bad? Pollution good.
Progressives say everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect? Time to start inspecting genitals.
At this point, the blind contrarianism has become so instinctive, I legitimately believe a not insignificant number of right wingers would start earning Darwin awards if some notable progressives released some common sense PSAs. Like, get Trudeau and Biden to make a thirty second video on the dangers of operating a chainsaw with a blood alcohol content of 0.3% and a conservative would never win an election again...
I legitimately wonder if the left needs to simply reverse psychology the entire conservative movement.
"Businesses thrive when they're not held accountable for their financial crimes!"
"Equality in punishments! A flat rate for all fines!"
"Big government should be in charge of determining a person's gender!"
You talk like that wasn't the end result of their anti-vax nonsense already. People have already died of arrogant contrarianism. But it's a death cult so they don't particularly care anyways.
