Cerberus (Sadly, No!) on conservative attempts to reclaim cool.  (Short version:  In your dreams, Buster.)  But the supporting arguments are much more fun.

And it’s a real shame, because these posts practically write themselves with their total failure to grasp even the outlines of the broader culture the wingnut finds themselves lost and confused within. I mean, with their insistent demand to dominate all culture and gain its reputation without work or effort, and of course their myopic failure to grasp just why they will never ever understand the culture they flail around, it’s pretty much a gold mine for us snark merchants.

Even more so when the whiny conservative in question decides to mix some good old fashioned dominant group with a persecution complex baggage into the mix in order to blame his personal failings on some Lovecraftian conspiracy of PBR beer cans and trucker hats.

In short, ladies, gentlemen, non-binary individuals, and fluberts, start up the popcorn, because we are in for a treat.

(That may be one of the reasons reactionaries keep trying to clutch meaningful rock/folk songs in their dripping claws--they know music gets to the emotions, but they don't know how to write anything but dreck.)
