A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media. Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing #BrandSephora #2020_CapitolSiege #MemeAmusedEatingPopcorn #IRLPersonalityInfluencerGabrielZamora #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackfishing #ToponymAmericaSouthPuertoRico

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

The release also echoed many other gripes from now-President Donald Trump and other conservatives, such as the U.S. having 'out-of-control immigration.' Since the networks' launch, Merit failed to attract viewers, averaging just 24,000 primetime viewers in 2024. In August of that year, the network laid off dozens of staffers. And that October, McGraw spoke at Trump's racist rally at Madison Square Garden, promoting the network during his speech--to no avail." https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/10/15/2348741/-Dr-Phil-s-anti-woke-TV-network-goes-broke #2025_ #BrandMeritStreetMediaMeritTV [Wikipedia]

Then there are the shopkeeper-type conservatives, who think the culture wars are all a silly hoo-ha about pronouns, toilet usage, dramas about Cleopatra and the Royal Family as seen on TV. They scold that we should be properly concerned with material materials: the cost of living, inflation, mortgage payments, industrial disputes, the future of the Conservative party. Both conclusions, from the complacent left and bean-counting right, are based on misapprehensions. They derive from a double falsehood. The culture wars are really taking place, whether the left likes or not. And the culture wars are a bread-and-butter issue, whether the right likes or not.

What was missing however, was the realisation that such conceptualisation assumes a common cultural understanding and objectives i.e. the #PoliticsStatusQuo - essentially, the further spread and reach of #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated values / a #TheoryHyperculture perspective - not the flourishing of divergent perspectives and with it, the surge in #ConspiracyTheory_.ies, the emergence of #EpistemologyAmateurParticipatoryDisinformation, #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteAutodidactDilettantism and charges of #MetaphorWarfareCulture and #CatchcryCancelCulture, supposedly mobilised as a singularly, unified attack against #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues - representing a manifestly binary duality of #MetaphorVersusEverydayPeopleLiberals. #TheoryModernityReflexive

Supplementary #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

The higher up a hierarchy a lobster climbs, this brain mechanism helps make more serotonin available. ... According to Peterson, hierarchies in humans work in a similar way - we are wired to live in them." https://theconversation.com/psychologist-jordan-peterson-says-lobsters-help-to-explain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489 #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationSocialLobsterKing #NMUKITVChannel4NewsCathyNewman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54&t=413s #CauseEqualityGenderPayGap
Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/

the collection of images conflate violence and anarchy with legitimate #PhenomnProtestDemonstration. They serve to incite #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic through the use of a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman.

Supplementary "Conservatism is only defined as 'maintaining the status quo' by liberals. The reason that they pegged that definition is because they cannot figure out why a conservative thinks as they do thus they are left to try making a definition based on observances. The USA was founded on guidance by Golden Rule. A true conservative lives by the Golden Euke [sic] thus seeks to keep laws and traditions that were founded upon it. Thus from that perspective the definition given by liberals is correct but far from accurate overall since a conservative will similarly seek to change anything that violates the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule requires being mindful and equally fair with others. Liberals don't see it that way. Liberals seek to have the balance swing in their favor, and they think that all are alike in that aspect. So let's take the issue where a liberal wants to 'tax the rich'. That, of course, comes from envy and covetness, both of which violates the Golden Rule. Since it violates the Golden Rule then the conservative will be opposed to it on those merits alone. Further, though, they apply the Golden Rule and ask their self, 'if I were wealthy then would I think it fair to be taxed at a higher rate than I am now taxed at?' The answer is, 'no', therefore it is also seen as a double standard, and double standards always violate the Golden Rule. So for that reason they will oppose the 'tax the rich' policies though they are not rich themselves. In that same situation, though, Liberals try to figure out why the conservatives aren't joining with them. They assume that all have the same goal as they (to swing the balances in their favor) so they are left to trying to figure out why the conservatives are not uniting with them. They figure that it must be because either the conservatives are opposed to change or because the conservatives think that they will become rich some day; it is beyond their comprehension to assume that they might be placing the Golden Rule as a higher standard than their own best interests or for the ability to get gain. So the liberals come up with their definition for 'conservative' yet it is in left field and nobody can convince them otherwise. Progress happens with conservatism because of two factors: (1) each will follow the Golden Rule in their pursuits, and (2) each is free in their pursuits. Notice how that doesn't work with liberalism because liberals will seek their own interests in their pursuits even at the peril of others. You see this mentality being revealed even in comedy. On Gilligan's Island there was the liberal portrayal of 'the rich' in Mr Howell; with that it was comically portrayed how he stepped on, and squashed, others in order to get to the top. He is given a liberal mentality of being self-centered yet they try to suggest that he is conservative (hence would be following the Golden Rule). That's how a liberal may act in such a position and, of course, that's because the character was created by a liberal. Another example is Welcome Back Kotter (again created by liberals) where Horseshack's uncle is wealthy and had gotten that way by stepping on others. Again, that defies the Golden Rule hence defies conservatism yet the liberals try to portray conservatives as such. I'm reality, that is liberalism being branded as conservatism. I [sic] the conservative world, progress is made because a person sees an opportunity to provide what others want and so they pursue it. Conservative policies do not punish them for pursuing it but rather make it possible. Thus for the motivation of making a living at doing what they want to do they are able to become the best at it. Some will fail while others will succeed, but all have the opportunity. Liberalism closes the door on progress because it evolves to crony capitalism. Crony capitalism seeks for the corporation to have unfair advantages over others. In other words, they want the balances to be tilted in their favor, which is the mentality behind liberalism and is being manifest in the larger scale. Crony capitalism only occurs under liberal corporate leaders - never conservatism. Crony capitalism stifles competition so that the corporation can immorally obtain more wealth than would have normally been gained. When scales get moved in favor of one or another then it will stifle progress every time. Hence liberalism will have a gradual decline when in power. But since conservatism seeks to keep everything fair, and allows each to keep what they earn, then progress will naturally take place." [commentary] #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleNTGospelOfMatthewGoldenRule i.e. "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

Addendum the tweet used to support a status quo position i.e. Harris' win is inconsequential because it relied on support from others (evoking a #MetaphorVersusCompetitionCooperation stance). Or put another way, to what extent have other candidates been measured against the same criteria (when they might have been bank-rolled by #PoliticsSpoilsSystemCronyism, #LiteralImpartialityReligiousInterest etc)? #PhenomnCulturalHegemony
#AdvocacyUSStudentsForLifeOfAmericaChristineYeargin "Kamala is not a win for women. She was polling at virtually zero and a man swooped in and picked her because of her gender and skin color, not her abilities. A woman who wins on her own and for her abilities and experience is a win for women. This is not that."
Addendum the comments seeks to diminish the significance of #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyKamalaHarris being selected as US vice president through claiming that it was simply #TauntTokenism and a case of #PolicyAffirmativeActionDiscriminationPositive.

Addendum such issues are clearly much more complex than simple binaries of 'this versus that' and when taken out of context reads like #PhenomnResponsibilityBlamingVictim i.e. that such responsibility falls solely on the shoulders of #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC.s, as per the tenor of this tweet. While certainly not wanting to over exaggerate this too much (as clearly the phenomenon of slavery is on a completely different scale to any comments made by a newsreader) however at least metaphorically, this comment feels like support for #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryHouseNegro (where Lemon's criticism of black youth is reframed as unquestioning support for the #PoliticsStatusQuo) against Lemon's supposed #TauntWoke perspectives, which according to this slavery metaphor, casts him as #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryFieldNegro.
