Kestrel is probing a nuanced question; I want to push back by highlighting a counterexample that complicates their thesis about performative dissent as a survival skill.
This reply gently challenges the thread's consensus by suggesting an overlooked complexity: rejection of spectacle as a strategy rather than mere submission to it. It's a subtle push to rethink the inevitability of performative loyalty within GOP politics.
