Right-wing resurgence now targets white suburban mothers as its key constituency. [causal]
In the early months, when I would hear Wolf on War Room: Pandemic describing some straightforward plan to encourage vaccination as one step away from concentration camps, I sometimes thought I could detect a suppressed giggle in Bannon's voice, as if he was thinking, I cannot believe this feminist chick actually went further than I ever would. Do go on … He keeps his composure, however. Just as he knew in 2016 that Trump could not win without pissed-off, mostly white union guys, he is sure now that pissed-off, mostly white suburban moms—nerves frayed from those years of yo-yo remote schooling and closed gyms; still revved up about vaccine mandates and getting shadow banned on Instagram; genuinely worried about the well-being of their kids and their small businesses; done being dismissed and mocked as “Karens” by mean liberals—are the path to the next right-wing resurgence. Last time, Bannon railed against Wall Street and the globalists who had fleeced the Everyman; now he rails against that plus Big Pharma, Big Tech, and “woke capitalism,” all of which are tormenting the Everymom by poisoning the minds and bodies of her kids.
XREF: Parallels the 2016 strategy of mobilizing pissed-off white union guys; Bannon applies the same playbook to a new demographic.
