Probably the most important thing I’ve read from this newsletter even though no mirkins were discussed. Bravo and thanks for calling out this right-wing cosplay as the bullshit it is. Now is not the time to treat this stuff as a joke.
omg yes exactly. really could've saved myself a lot of time writing this and just said "it's some sharon needles type shit." lol thank you for reading!
So interesting. I've noticed the rise of influencers wearing camo - not the traditional fashion-y camo print but the kind that is obviously worn for hunting purposes slash MAGA pfp photoshoots. It always rubbed me the wrong way and this perfectly articulates why.
Also interesting that the Harris/Walz campaign launched a cameo hat as part of their campaign merch. It seems like all sides are playing into the bayou archetype and trying to claim it for themselves - a literal flash back to the Y2K ironic trucker hat craze.

Yes!! Sidenote, note Lana Del Rey doing the ultimate most by marrying a MAGA alligator tour guide, ready to serve us bayou bops 👀
Would have happily read a thousand more words on this topic and hope you do more of this kind of analysis!
This was incredible and terrifying! Thank you!!
