Look up Erika Kirke’s audition tape for The Great Race #LeSigh

Ha ha, classic case in point!

Go google it my dude and be prepared to cringe yourself into next week

Isn't that basically the story of andrew breitbart?

I also don't get that cover picture. Ultimately it all just makes me feel bad for the kid who is probably saying "dad, stop" constantly.

Word in the neighborhood is that this Vance Glawe guy went AWOL from his family a few years ago and his criminal record is oh boy 😑

Were they recruited?

Like I don't have the vocabulary to express just how much this is all through the looking glass, kayfabe, breaking the 4th wall (or even some 5th wall we haven't defined yet), inception, just...weirdness of how they approach this and the relationship with the public as "victim/audience."

I watched one yesterday for the first time. Know your enemy and all that. Ten minutes was enough. Angry performative ragebait they either can't believe in, or hadn't really listened to themselves saying out loud. It was profoundly weird, sad, and seemed like a big ol' cry for help.

In politics, in the law, in academia ... everywhere.

Tragic they would have so much influence in something that actually matters (government).

Many such cases.

Or you just have to to make something up about being persecuted by liberals, see the OU student who used the Bible in a assigment (incorrectly). She got on fox news.

The shock-jockification of politics isn’t a great thing. Rush gets held up as a person who pushed forward in talk radio, but I think Howard Stern and similar FM types helped create a space for him to succeed by filling your standard FM radio signal with outrageous stuff. And it kept rolling.

My favorite brand of MAGA are the previously voiceless degenerates who earn a following and a MAGA platform for no other reason than having said the N word on Tiktok.
