This is a very intentional goal, and conservatives have been pushing for it basically since Reagan. For a while, saying that you where a white supremacist was generally not acceptable socially, being too racist was considered bad.
Now, conservatives are proudly bigoted, and that gives cover to everyone else. Every time somebody makes a racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic “joke” and gets no pushback, it makes it a little more acceptable to keep making those jokes.
Every time a conservative pundit or influencer goes on a racsist tirade, or homophobic one etc, it tells the people watching that its ok for them to be super bigoted.
And so they are.
Sure, recently mixed concrete is basically just wet powder with sand and gravel. The powder will absolutely stick. Hypothetically, if the bird then flies around long enough for it to dry, the bird will probably get itchy feet, but the concrete will dry and flake away fairly quickly.
