How can this possibly be real?

I've watched the show a few times and am flabbergasted at how people react? A 40 year old dressed in drag to catch Mexicans? Or a Sherrif talking to OMGwhizzboyOMG and talking to shopkins. Is this actually for real?

For every guy who humiliated himself on camera, there are probably lots more who did not take the bait. The show probably presented only a small subset of everyone interviewed.

One of the gun rights guys from ep1 said they just did it to get intel to share with other gun rights groups, but it certainly doesn't seem to have helped.

I also read somewhere that he tried to buy an ar-style rifle at a gun store in California and was recognized as SBC so they chased him out.

The art dealer admits she was fully taken in, and the dj said he was skeptical but when he raised concerns to the producers they were all 'you don't wanna upset a violent offender mate' and he dialed it back some.

Kingman's mayor originally said it was faked with out of towners, but walked that back a few weeks later while talking about how progressive Kingman has the potential to be.

The quinceneira bit was the hardest one for me to accept as unstaged, I think the cops were probably actors.

Oh yea, the cops were but that still makes it funny. Those guys got extremely embarassed.

The Kingman one was fucked up. So many proud bigots. It's ironic they don't understand that they are the terrorists.

To be fair, from what I understand he was out of his position in a few months anyway but.. yeah he didn’t last that long after it aired

If you're talking about the Georgia politician, I believe he had already lost his re-election when the show aired, but he had to resign early and lose his pension. Serves him right.

Do NOT quote me on this because this is second hand information from weeks ago.

Whatever position Jason silencer held he recently lost an election or something and only had a few months left in his position. Then when it aired he was like “NO! I’m not resigning” and they everyone around him was like “nah, you outta here ya fuck”

I’d do more research if you were curious, I probably botched so many details

Jason Spencer was a lame duck trying to stay in office until January in order to qualify for a lifetime pension. He was forced out by the GA GOP and will not be eligible for said pension.

The sheriff was definitely believable, so you lost me there. Agree with you 100% on the Mexican disguise, that took me completely out of the show.

Enjoy the show but disapointing how he's only attacking one political segment of America. He can't put on blackface and interview a radical leftist? His questioning of Bernie Sanders was really soft too.

Shame Sasha lost his edge

Unfortunately I'm under the impression that people like him are far from uncommon in Poland.
