“Abusive relationship,” sure, that applies where a victim has some dependency on a perpetrator, where that dependency constitutes a kind of “bondage” of the victim by the perpetrator.
Where is the dependency? What is conservative media providing to these people that they cannot do without, and cannot acquire elsewhere?
The only thing I can think of is acceptance of them as they are, where “as they are” pretty much means “unjustifiably prejudiced in a variety of ways.” If they can in any way be described as “being in an abusive relationship,” it is predicated on their being shitty people already. If they want “acceptance of them as they are,” it is wholly available outside of conservative media, and conservatism altogether - all they need to do is stop being bigots.
If you’ve got other ideas about what constitutes the dependency, I would love to hear them.
