Rightness Re-Archetyped

MAGA and the Russian state both use Disinfolklore to create illusory realities that change mental archetypal identities in the minds of many (most?) who are exposed to it. Rightness as previously defined according to the Reagan/Thatcher model of the Right is re-Archetyped according to MAGA Disinfolklore’s idea of what is “Right.” It is never moral to be an adjudicated rapist or to usurp power in the manner which the Federal indictment of Druidey Don’s Jan 6 conspiracy to defraud the United States of its rightful government set out.

This passage extends the “Rearchetyping Right” theme with a crucial moral dimension: the concrete, adjudicated evidence that the rearchetyped version of “Right” violates its own claimed values. The Reagan/Thatcher vs MAGA comparison makes the transformation visible — from principled conservatism to something that accommodates “adjudicated rapists.” The parenthetical “(most?)” reveals the author’s alarm at the scale of the rearchetyping’s success.
