Candace Owens Rips MAGA’s Super Bowl Meltdown: ‘Conservatives Are Now Fully Deluding Themselves’
This story raises questions about governance, accountability, and American values.
The coverage treats a silly social media pile-on as proof that conservatives are “deluding themselves. ” It is an easy storyline: right-leaning voters supposedly can’t process pop culture without conspiracy. That framing flatters the press more than it informs readers.

“Reality: you lost the Super Bowl narrative. Bad Bunny had an objectively successful performance, whether you like it or not,” Candace Owens said.

The coverage treats a silly social media pile-on as proof that conservatives are “deluding themselves.” It is an easy storyline: right-leaning voters supposedly can’t process pop culture without conspiracy. That framing flatters the press more than it informs readers.
What gets missed is that people are reacting to a bigger pattern, not just Bad Bunny. When entertainment institutions lean predictably in one cultural direction, audiences notice and push back. Mocking them as irrational avoids the real issue of cultural gatekeeping and the quiet expectation that dissenters should simply clap along.
A healthier conservative view is less about “winning the narrative” and more about public trust, fair standards, and institutional neutrality. You can say the performance “worked” and still question why major stages feel so one-note.
The principle at stake is whether Americans are allowed honest disagreement without being caricatured as unfit for reality.
