Why are conservatives so afraid of social ostracization by liberals?(“You can’t say ANYTHING without being called racist!” “I want to say ‘Merry Christmas!’”) Folks. Not everyone is going think you’re a perfect flower.

I think it's because liberals tend to occupy positions of cultural prominence - big media, academia, entertainment - and thus have greater exposure to the general public and to conservatives themselves, making them appear more influential than they perhaps actually are.

Cons have very successfully created media counterculture which celebrates their views more thoroughly than liberal/neutral media enterprises celebrate liberal ones.

Right. But their media is generally more populist and therefore less sophisticated and less influential over the people who matter. Liberals have the entire entertainment industry, which has greater influence over ordinary people than any news organisation.

On of the unpopular opinions I confessed today is that people very overestimate the ability of entertainment industry to influence opinion. :)

I think it has considerable influence over stupid people. You only need to see the number of likes/retweets people like Kanye get, and when these figures tell people to buy X/boycott Y, people do it in droves.

I disagree strongly with this characterization of “stupid people.” Empirical evidence does not support.

A single Beyoncé Instagram—just one (1) plain photo-and-caption post from the pop star—is worth around $1 million. https://qz.com/989817/record-labels-now-have-much-less-business-being-in-business/ …

This article points out something else - the huge influence of tech companies, which, if the recent Google memo fiasco is anything to go by, has a liberal-leaning management.
