This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Revival? Conservative politics was at its peak in the mid-2010's after the Tea Party wave and it has been all downhill since then.
Tell me you're too young to remember Reagan without using those words ;-)
The Republicans never even held the Federal House in the 1980's. While Reagan himself was immensely popular, his downballot effects were muted, especially after 1984.
The Republicans in 2016 held more state houses and more governors mansions than they had held simultaneously since the 1920's. In 2014, the Republicans had their largest Federal House majority since the end of WWII. Electorally -- barring event driven setbacks like 2008 -- the Republicans had managed to build a juggernaut by 2016 that rolled state government after state government into their column. There was a point in the 2010's when the Republicans had Democratic state legislative control on the cusp of going single digits. Then, after groaning halt and reversal in 2016 and 2017, the trend reversed hard in 2018 and, since, they have lost 8 governorships and the Democrats have gained unified control of state legislatures that used to either be Republican or split, net.
If you consider that Tucker got O'Reilly's slot in 2017, it seems less that he was a voice of a conservative revival and more that was a harbinger of the old one's doom.
Conservative/Liberal lines were not as correlated with GOP/Dem lines during the Reagan era, although that was around when the re-sorting began. It seemed to take root finally in the late 1990s, as pro-life Democrats became rarer and rarer, Old South Dems were dying, and the liberal Northeastern Republicans were retiring or switching parties.
