    If they want to be contrarian, that’s the left’s whole brand.

    We’re the ones with all the facts on our side that no one wants to be true. We’re the contrarians, we know how all the things that everyone loves sucks, and all the things everyone hates is good.

    But no, they call the right edgy when their whole mantra is “popular thing good, unpopular thing bad.”

      They don’t want to be truly contrarian, they want to elicit the same sort of reaction as a three year old who makes “poop” the punchline of every joke because they know it’s a word adults admonish them for using. Which ties into the bit in the article about these New Right men wishing violence upon women because they remind them of the elementary school teacher that scolded them.
