Does Ann Coulter Really Believe Her Own Anger and Hatred or Is It Part of a Dog and Pony Show?

Back in 1992, the right-wing political landscape was a cauldron filled with bile, false promises, and venom. This toxic mixture, including figures like Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, and the infamous Newt Gingrich, began to take a permanent place in the arena. Over the past couple of decades, we've seen this anger and hatred in the Republican Party escalate to unprecedented levels, evolving from something concerted but not entirely deceptive to a rabid state that makes one think of a Cujo, the crazed St. Bernard.

I've always approached right-wing media with a grain of salt, understanding that there was often a desperate attempt to appear righteous, even if that righteousness was built on lies. Back in the day, the GOP had to face accusations of dishonesty, which made their anger less convincing. Now, they have news sources that have convinced them that lies can be truth, and they often present these as authoritative. Most people know these sources are lying, but their anger and hatred have become a performance, a show they've been putting on for 30 years. However, there is a significant portion of the population that genuinely believes the propaganda they consume.

The anger and hatred inflicted by some right-wing media, particularly Fox News, have turned their followers into rabid sheep, much like Trump's MAGA supporters. These supporters are not just passive recipients of propaganda, but potential suicide bombers, as they are convinced of the truth in the lies they hear. This phenomenon is not just limited to Fox News; it's a broader issue within the GOP.

Ann Coulter: A Pundit of Fortune and a Master Grifter

Ann Coulter is often seen as a pundit of fortune, one of the original grifters who rose to prominence during George W. Bush's two terms. As a blonde, skirt-wearing figure, she likely tapped into the appeal to conformity, much like Madonna or a conventional 'whore,' shifting her focus from being a satirist to a full-blown political grifter. During the Trump era, political prostitution became unregulated.

Her recent interview, which led me to believe she had 'signed too many blood contracts' and was living in a state of ferropenic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, a ghost, suggested to me that she might need to be more careful in her statements. The term 'amazing satirist' used to describe her was likely a nod to her early days, when doing abhorrently disgusting and mutually exclusive things was seen as satire rather than political grifting.

Coulter's public persona often mirrors the characteristics of an octopus, known for its ability to change color, texture, and even fit through any opening as long as it can fit its beak. Candace Owens and Blaire White are also often referred to as octopuses for their ability to easily adapt to different political landscapes. This phenomenon is often replicated by women who lack opportunities in politics and are quietly allocated a specific type of role—this type of woman is often referred to as an 'octopus.'

Debunking the Myth of Conviction and Morals

Many grifters like Coulter lack conviction, values, or morals. They are often driven by the limitless potential of earning fame and fortune without genuine belief in what they say. Once the Trump era began, political prostitution became unregulated, and Coulter capitalized on this.

Looking back at her public statements, particularly those during the Trump presidency, it's clear that Coulter's anger and hatred are often part of a larger show rather than genuine belief. Much like the satirical performances on the Colbert Report, where Dave Chappelle portrayed a satirical neoconservative, Coulter's original satirical performances were often seen as more entertaining than genuine protest.

The transition from satirist to grifter was seamless—a testament to her adaptability. Today, Coulter's public statements, much like the current GOP rhetoric, are filled with extreme racism, xenophobia, and hate against LGBTQ individuals and women. This transformation from satirical to genuine anger highlights the widespread acceptance of hate in modern political discourse.

While Coulter may have changed, the same can be said for many in the GOP. They have shifted from a concerted but deceptive effort to a more brazen and direct approach to political grifting. The question remains: is Coulter's anger and hatred part of a dog and pony show, or does she truly believe it?

As we continue to navigate the political landscape, it's crucial to maintain a critical eye and consider the source of the narrative. The smear campaigns and rhetoric we see today may be part of a calculated strategy, rather than genuine belief. Understanding this dynamic is essential for any accurate analysis of the political climate.
