The analysis of history for these people is judging a book by its cover.
When people say they want “adults back in the room” or even “common sense in government” they’re basically voting Blue Curtains 2024. If the position is so crudely universalist while lacking in actual subtext, it amounts to (paradoxically) vibes based voting under pretense of avoiding vibes.
Extreme short version is Redditors got so sick and tired of teachers in their classes possibly overreaching when it came to interpreting a passage of literature that they found a new dogma: nothing can be interpreted beyond its own most obvious meaning. If an author describes blue curtains, that is all that is being described. Paul Verhoeven wasn’t criticizing fascism in his Starship troopers movie, even if he directly said he was and that he was pissed off at so many of the actors in the movie missing the point while the movie was being made, according to blue curtain theory all that can be derived from the film is DUTY GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP.
