“I first encountered the term ‘omnicause’ in a 2024 article by Hadley Freeman. As Freeman puts it, ‘The Omnicause is, simply, every cause you must care about if you’re A Good Progressive rolled into one, because everything in the world is connected.’ Thus, ‘trans rights are connected to Palestinian rights are connected to environmental concerns, and any self-respecting progressive who cares about one has to care about the other two … According to The Omnicause, they’re all magically connected. It’s the fatberg of causes, and the fat gluing them all together is Western narcissism.’ Freeman defines the omnicause as specifically a progressive thing. I disagree. The right — and I have my own personal experience to back this up — is more than capable of having an omnicause, and what we saw from President Trump’s awkward interaction with DoorDash Grandma was an assumption that the MAGA fatberg would hold strong.” (04/24/26)
