So the vibe shift wasn't imaginary, it was just obviously not permanent. And yes, there was still some Trump backlash (Snoop Dogg and Target found out the hard way) but the real shift back was Minneapolis. All the celebs were quiet at the Golden Globes before and much louder at the Grammys after.

I can only speak for my little corner of the world, but in music there was in fact a genuine vibe shift. Explicitly conservative songs were topping the charts. Let's Go Brandon was a viral meme. Nickelback headlined Kid Rock's festival with no notable backlash.
What was really up with all that "vibe shift" stuff after the 2024 election? Like, what was the environment like, what was going on with members of the media that they bought this? I'm genuinely curious.

I dont really do social media, but thought I'd do my part. I'm playing Petruchio in the St Albans Abbey Theatre production of The Taming of the Shrew. And feedbacks been really good! I'm certain there's no one in my followers nearby but in case: www.abbeytheatre.org.uk/whats-on/tam...

The fear I have, is that one day Esther Ghey will just blame social media for her daughter being trans and that's why she was murdered. Not because of transphobia, but because she was trans and was 'tricked' into it. And her journey to the terfside will be complete.
Esther Ghey genuinely seems to be forgetting that Brianna was murdered. Her death was not because she was on social media. The 'real world' was so hostile that she was isolated in school, was unable to make friends and turned to social media. When she befriended someone 'irl', she was murdered.
I would listen to the @iwriteok.bsky.social Behind the Bastards about Scott Adams today, if I hadn't listened to it last week as a little treat
