Right-wingers backing the Democratic Coalition

Sure, there's a right wing out there, but it’s just too fractured, and honestly, the media basically treats them like they don't exist. This whole election cycle has actually been dragging on for three months now, even if nobody officially announced it until later. There was this real risk of a third party gaining traction, so I guess the media did their thing to prevent that, and the major players—the Republican Party and the Democratic Party—shortened the timeline just enough to keep things tight. If you actually bothered to flip through the newspapers or check the news sites, you'd see this campaign has been running between these two "rival" camps for ages. During all this time, they've just been using various players to try and force some kind of unity within the right wing, though it rarely works.
And I don't think it's a coincidence that this thread popped up on the forum right before the elections. We aren't kids; we've seen how this works and we have our own opinions, so we shouldn't fall for this little "eggshell" trap. Just look at the threads about those televised debates—you can see how organized they are, though it's always done with that typical leftist bias. By the time a show ends and you jump onto a site like Reddit, there's already a mountain of comments calling right-wingers "primitive" or "backwards," and it makes you want to give up entirely because everything has already been said and spat out. It's an old tactic used by the old guard.
The Libertarian Party is the only real force here; everyone else is just background noise.
Are you trying to suggest there's a conspiracy where conservatives are being painted as fools for believing in conspiracies?
The left-wing pundits are doing a fine job for themselves, I'll give them that.
