And the regular media amplifies him and subsequently his message, and then he gets tangible power. The other way of looking at it could be that people like Fuentes were influential before social media but just went on behind the scenes. Now you can read about their conversations with powerbrokers within a few hours of the meeting occurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media gives far greater reach for those types with a larger section of society able to soak it in, resulting in a more extremely-polarised general populous. "Behind the scenes" keeps more extreme views further away from easily influenced youth, lets say, than social media does. And, of course, it gives power and credence too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted November 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2022 This is good. Quote Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes convicted of seditious conspiracy From CNN's Hannah Rabinowitz and Holmes Lybrand Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes has been convicted by a Washington, DC, jury of seditious conspiracy for orchestrating a far-reaching plan to stop the peaceful transfer of power after former President Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. The conviction is a win for the Justice Department, which has argued that the US Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, was more than just a political protest that got out of control — but rather a violent attack on the seat of American democracy and an effort to keep Biden out of the Oval Office by any means necessary. There are four other defendants facing multiple charges; the verdict is still being read in court. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely his career is done. I guess when you have serious mental health issues, are a complete narcissist and have ridiculous wealth, it's hard to get any serious help.

sne Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm starting to think he might not win the 2024 elections. As others have mentioned, how come Kanye is not under conservatorship? He seems easily as unhinged as Britney was when she shaved her hair and attacked that car with an umbrella. I think Kanye is a Musk level a-hole who is in love with himself and his own voice, but the guy also clearly needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump, the current favourite for Republican nominee for the 2024 Presidential elections is still the funniest and scariest thing. How in this day and age can he be in this position. As I’ve said before I don’t think there is any chance he can win but given everything how is he still in the race? I know the answer but it still amazes me.

How can anyone with half a brain listen to any of that and think "Oh yeah, I'm going to listen to this guy he knows the truth!" Free speech is one thing but for people that stupid/ignorant should, the only answer is sterilization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell he’s got no idea what he’s talking about but has been listening to some dark sources and is regurgitating it back like he’s just had an epiphany and needs to share it with the world.

According to NY Times he hasn't paid a cent in income tax in 11 out of the past 18 years by exaggerating his companies losses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
