Um, you'd be wrong. We just don't care for the shtick, which manages to come across, in its cloying vulgarity and sheer volume, as a perfect example of some of the daily spewage we have to read here every day.
I think the real issue is that right-wingers, generally an ill-tuned chorus of perpetual crybabies and sore-asses anyway, have nothing better to do online than engage with people they don't respect and endlessly repeat the same stupid arguments with people they dislike or hate, day in day out, year after year.

Just scrolling by and came on this one - a striking example of something I have repeatedly observed coming from Blatham, Hightor and other like posters here.
It is a remarkable and stunning example of the projection of their own preconceptions, refusals to consider alternatives, and narrow-minded prejudices directed at an imagined "vast right wing conspiracy" on those here, who even question their pronouncements, or who have the temerity to disagree with or lightheartedly mock their usually inflated and self-important pronouncements on current political affairs. That, combined with what appears to be an increasingly doctrinaire rejection of disagreement in any form or of any degree as necessarily emanating from the presumed bad intent of necessarily bad folks on "the right" - has become increasingly tiresome to me.
It appears they well understand the perceptual, psychological and reasoning disorders of which they so frequently accuse others here, but at the same time fail to recognize that they themselves increasingly appear to be the chief victims of these disorders. These may be side effects of a long-continued and increasingly emotional political opposition which has cost some the ability to see merit in opposing views and defects in those they favor - dangerous habits for any reasoning person.
I have been disheartened to note the disappearance of the sometimes delicious irony that once attended blatham's posts here. It's gone and has been replaced with increasingly venomous, anger and intolerance. In a similar vein I am disheartened to see hightor's once rational willingness to consider alternate viewpoints, and see the virtues and defects of both sides in ongoing disputes, increasingly replaced with one-sided and narrow judgements of the, necessarily well intentioned "left" and an equally evil intended "right".
What is behind all this ?
I suspect it might be a result of the adverse side effects of their growing need to whistle energetically in the dark as we approach the coming election, and as the prospect of their hoped for triumph and vindication fades from view.
These are turbulent and uncertain times, and almost anything could happen to distort the best of current projections. That said, the prospect of a Biden election appears to be VERY dim at best.
The growing public perception that Democrats have ignored their political responsibilities and dedicated the last three years to increasingly hate-filled and sometimes illegal efforts to unseat Trump, all of which have failed, and that, now, in the midst of a very serious external threat that no one saw coming, they are continuing this mindless, reflexive opposition even to clearly well intended efforts to deal with the public danger it represents, will not go unnoticed by the American people. Evidence of this is mounting.
The so-called First Law of Holes is, "When you're in one, stop digging."
