    As progressive values become more mainstream being an edgy conservative becomes a form of counter culture.

    This shows in those god awful conservative memes people make that say shit like “Im not like other girls, I dress modestly, dont drink or do drugs and the only man I get on my knees for is JEsus” type shit. or the male equivalent where they talk about how theyre the only real man left in a world where people drink soy lattes and dont beat their kids.

      This. There’s this idea that ‘the counterculture’ is inherently progressive. It ain’t.
