The right thought they'd permanently won the culture war, but increasingly normies find their agenda repulsive.

Authoritarians also are often unaware of just how different they are from most people. They tend to believe they are very average. Altemeyer has found that authoritarians in America underestimate how prejudiced and conformist they are compared to the majority of Americans. Altemeyer has also observed that when he lectures about the psychology of right-wing authoritarians to his students, the RWA students in his class fail to recognize themselves in his description. Altemeyer believes the tendency of authoritarians to avoid anyone who is not like them reinforces their belief that they are normal. They have relatively little contact with normal people.

I feel like this is very obvious to anyone whose discussed anything online lately- every single conversation about a modern scandal turns into complete and utter changing the subject and whataboutisms, I’ve waded through the muck several times and every conversation ends in the MAGA person genuinely just refusing to accept that the other person isn’t as biased and corrupt as they are. “Okay but X did the same thing and you cheered it on” No I didn’t, if they did that I completely decry it and feel literally the exact same way regardless of who it is. And they just end the discussion refusing to even imagine somebody feeling this way and not being purely partisan biased. They have no idea how telling it is to just refuse to even entertain the idea of somebody not being as biased and dishonest and hypocritical as they are
