PRO TIP
If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot
leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.
I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

the more explicit nazis are fucking things up for the less explicit nazis, and so the less explicit nazis are trying to differentiate to protect themselves politically. it's really funny cause they're all basically nazis.
I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.
