The videos and content from these conservative creators is getting more mainstream. I’m just seeing it more. And they’re getting more access than ever before. It’s a lot!

I've been thinking about how this is maybe the biggest propaganda arm of the administration. Between the antifa roundtable this week and Benny Johnson's remote shoots with Kristi Noem, it's only gaining more momentum.

Great article:

Scrubs was so important to me growing up (and I think that shows up in a lot of the videos I make).

Anyway, i cannot wait for this revival.

All to say that the Nazi-Americans pushing lies and propaganda on behalf of the Trump administration, don't actually know or understand the Constitution - or Christianity, for that matter.

Benny has long been obsessed with this imagery. He once demanded a co-worker do a photoshoot of him draped in an American flag.

He left the flag on the floor, with zero sense of irony. I folded it with another Eagle Scout.

(also the person he's promoting here is a white supremacist)

Seems to me the least American people in these interactions are the ICE agents and Trump administration ignoring basic American rights.

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

More so than outrage, my bigger emotion in all this is sadness. It just sucks, man. Especially for the very talented people left doing good work in spite of what's going on around them.
