But how does something dumb one Twitter account does, that is then pretty quickly deleted, become an entire news cycle and come to involve literally thousands of people?

honestly i think it's that our intrepid qanonpoaster struck that perfect tone of overweening, unsupported dumbfuckery that makes dunking absolutely irresistible, just absolute catnip

nothing really more than the millionth monkey at the keyboard spitting out eighteen sigma "kick me" content

Exactly - it's a "kick me" sign that reads as an exaggeration of already-present awful tendencies on their side (shaming women for having fun, incel rage, etc) and not just an example of individual awfulness that can be easily disowned

what i thought Oliver was getting at: that the hordes of people on the left claiming that the right was "bashing" AOC over this vid had literally no evidence other than the OP...to me the incessant "oh man look at these idiots who think this is bad" takes were built on nothing.

oh yeah as far as i ever saw that's true, like hiki says though, just like with the prog wackjob college students, as long as the behavior feels emblematic of the outgroup that's enough

the other thing - if the right didn't let incel idiot types in their tent it'd be much easier to disavow them when they do something stupid like this. Pointing out that someone's not really representative of one's group isn't convincing if only done after they fuck up

thats true. i just think the "conservatives pounce" narrative is so easy and habituated that folks on the left just rubberstamped it onto this event, despite there being no real negative mass reaction.
