Roseanne's great reboot and the grumbling from some rightwing circles reaffirms my premise that conservatives don't create culture. She (and her character) have never been conservatives, and I don't think a conservative "Roseanne" would be possible.

Think you're taking this insight about culture from Thaddeus Russell too far unless you are referring specifically to American conservatives or to pop culture when you're talking about culture here.

Ok agreed. To be fair to the conservative movement had negligent power & funding until 70's. Granted they always wasted that money on policy papers.
@DavidSteinRPA also noted in his book that when Hollywood conservatives actually tried to create culture they failed. Too overt.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

negligent power is how american pop culture is originated, though, from comic books to virtually every music genre to vaudeville which became hollywood. they dont have the mindset or perspective is my theory also, when has overtness stopped leftist culture?

Question isn't if it stops them but if it succeeds in their goals of subversion. Does overt propaganda work better than subtle? From what I recall from Ben Shapiro's undercover book(as well as propaganda scholarship) talking with Hollywood people it was the latter tactic. 2/2

i think there are those for whom subversion is the goal and for those the consequence. i admire the latter camp, some fences need tearing down.
