Yes, for a long time in America conservative views have been coded as low-status. Speak them and suddenly you’re a redneck, and who wants to be on the same side as bucktoothed hillbillies? It’s a pity that this shaming tactic is breaking down and people are coming out of the closet as chuds. Shaming is a really good tool to get people to behave when nobody’s looking.

The way to enjoy childish things is to have children and then enjoy it with them. See, I’m not playing with model trains…it’s for my son! He loves them! (Because he loves his dad and wants to please him.) Otherwise you give off strong Micheal Jackson vibes. I’m not saying it’s fair, I’m saying it’s what happens.
