Yes, and most of that consumer base needs to stop tolerating quite a bit of reactionary bullshit (yes, American "conservatives" aren't conservative, they don't keep status quo, they actively destroy it for regression, they are reactionary).

Conservatives have always been reactionary. This isn't a US thing it's a global thing, they don't want to keep things the same they want to return to some rose-tinted version of history that never existed. They're the ones that call themselves conservative.

But you can't call everyone you disagree with a delusional idiot even if they are, because the insult loses its power. So we might as well call them by then preferred name
