Right-wing narrative collapse in real time

Someone posts a clip of Abdul, frames it as "the narrative they're going with is: Abdul is a gay Muslim," then quotes Jack Posobiec saying "straight men do not do this." So the actual narrative is: we're supposed to be outraged about who Abdul is and what he does. The setup assumes you already know the attack line. The joke is that you're supposed to recognize the clickbait frame before it's even finished. This is culture war mad libs. Fill in the identity category, attach it to a clip of someone existing, declare it a "narrative they're pushing," and let the outrage machinery do the work. No actual argument required.
