politics

It is not meant for, nor aimed at, them. Rather it is to help liberals become woken up to the fact that conservatives aren't merely temporarily displaced liberals themselves, who simply need a slight course correction and then they'll be eternally grateful for being shown to be wrong (as we would in reverse), but rather how they think fundamentally, foundationally, in an entirely different manner.

And everything gets filtered by that worldview. Hence, even someone who was personally raped by Trump himself may still vote for him, believing not in "him" but in how he can be strategically useful to their cause of returning America to a state that never existed for us where an emperor can do whatever he wants, and somehow that's what will make us great (again?). Just like how Russia is "great" and "strong" now - you know, in spite of literally all of the evidence to the contrary.

But lest my message get lost here: Innuendo Studios isn't poking fun of conservatives for ignoring literally all of the facts that contradict their worldview and instead believing in their fantasical magical wonderland - rather, it helps liberals realize that we are the ones who are ignoring literally all of the facts that contradict our worldview and instead believing in our fantasical magical wonderland, e.g. where Bernie Sanders had some kind of a ghost of a chance at winning despite bucking the system of powerful elites, or that Hillary would win so easily that she didn't even need to bother campaigning in the Midwestern states (beyond bringing hot sauce in her purse), or that people are so scared of Trump that Biden is a shoe-in despite not having earned people's votes or being able to finish a sentence. We will receive our rude awakening, once again, and as always we will blame not enough people for voting or whatever tidbit lies easily within reach - anything rather than own up to the fact that irl reality is hard, and might involve some actual effort to understand, both others, and most especially ourselves.

You know that little boy near the end of Sixth Sense whispering "I see dead people, walking around like regular people - they don't know they're dead!"? Imagine instead that he said "we are the same, conservatives and liberals - other-group-person=bad but same-group-person=good, ignoring any inconvenient facts to the contrary". This is why we're fucked up the ass, and so easily led like sheep by the billionaires - bc we refuse to learn, from either failures or success, and instead merely tell stories to convince ourselves of the rightness of our respective causes, since we enjoy those calm stories more than the harshness and complexity of reality.
