Comer’s initial admission is an example of what happens when conservatives buy into the myth of their own marginalization, writes anamariecox.
conservatives were no longer just saying the quiet part out loud — they were turning up the volume. What quiet part? This ideology goes up to 11.
The difference is that conducting a partisan witch hunt is an expression of power, and today’s Republican base has to be flattered into the illusion of a righteous revanchist minority. Trump told them they’d get “tired of winning,” but the party of fear wins elections by insisting they’re always on the edge of starting to lose.It’s just hard to maintain that attitude if you do, in fact, have power.
Comer’s initial admission is an example of what happens when conservatives buy so hard into the myth of their marginalization they confuse going on Fox — still a national television channel — with a private chat among friends. No doubt the vibe is friendly, but for all the talk of cancellations and censoring, conservatives have access to as loud a megaphone as anyone. They keep forgetting that; I’m not sure I mind.
