“Young Conservatives” rapping provokes cognitive dissonance

Something about this make my eye twitch. I think it’s because I suspect these guys are serious … and yet, my only exposure to this level of idiocy has been through the Colbert Report, which isn’t serious, only straight-faced.

Privileged white dudes appropriating “street” language and poses, while dressed in suits, to espouse highly conservative, near libertarian notions, just doesn’t seem to click, in my mind.

This would be hilarious if they intended it as parody. But they don’t, so it’s awful. Weird. I struggle to even explain it.
