Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this month essentially won the culture war for the left. His celebration of Puerto Rican identity, culture, diversity, and message of social unity in the face of hate was watched by 128.2 million viewers, far eclipsing the “competing” Kid Rock headlined Turning Point USA show (6.4 million viewers). This resounding cultural victory cemented football as left-wing. Crazy, right? This got me thinking about other victories of the culture war.
As always, I stress that, despite my intuition being correct almost all the time, some of this is based in opinion and not facts.
The Right:
- Beef
- Whole Milk
- The LA Dodgers (I’m extremely sad about this)
- John Fetterman
- Being really into WWII history
- Strawberry vape juice
- Computer Science majors
- Being an asshole (sorry, left-wing North-easterners)
- Jojo Siwa
- Netflix (republicans love oligarchs)
- Electric cars (leftists now dream of buying Japanese kei cars)
- Sports Betting
- Crypto.com Arena
- AI
- Big hats (blame Melania)
- Hating your husband
- The Big Mac
The Left:
- Having a fat ass
- The 2nd Amendment
- Public Media
- Insisting on calling it The Staples Center
- Freeing Puerto Rico
- Country music
- Renowned Historian Heather Cox Richardson
- Cigarettes
- A liberal arts education
- Elected representatives that have no fucking backbone
- Ice cream (we see you, Ben & Jerry’s)
- Diversity
- Patriotism
- The Costco $1.50 hot dog and soda combo
