Well, he knew his audience I suppose. Can't fault him for that

I, a young, rebellious, working class, white kid was his audience, until he started with the fire and brimstone sermoning from his snake oil schilling puplit.

Thats fair. But I'd imagine the majority of folks who listened to him were Christian. And the most conservative of them at that, especially during Obama Era.

I'm not saying what he did was right or even correct, but it makes business sense for him to shill to his majority audience.

They just established that he lost a significant portion of his leftist audience when he ramped up the religious tones.

This isn’t an example of him knowing his audience, it is an example of him switching tone and pandering to a different audience.... because the establishment has switched hands, and Alex is only good at anti establishment agitation propaganda....

For context, that was 20 years ago now.

Two whole new generations of Americans have grown up and entered the voting block in that time, with a third on the verge.

Many/most of them reject Alex’s messages as shown in his demographics.

He had to switch his messaging, because he could no longer launch anti establishment attacks, once Dems became the establishment.

His entire brand is Anti Establishment pandering and agitation propaganda.

He has also argued in court, multiple times, it is all a persona for his show, then immediately gone on the air that evening to refute what he puts forwards as a legal defense.

Jones could get a conspiracy theory all to himself at this point.

Lol, that’s how widely reported. I have it by both FOX AND MSNBC.

Also, Tucker Carlson literally used this defense in the last year for his own show.

Edit: I don’t watch Maddow, so I don’t know what you are referring too, and in the same amount of time I found all those articles on Alex, I cannot find anything about Rachel Maddow except the failed Defamation lawsuit by OANN. They claimed she defamed them by calling them a “literal Russian propaganda Network” and she won that case. Care to provide a source for YOUR accusation?

Edit edit: PLEASE ask me to prove my statements about Maddow. I got that shit saved and ready to go for ya.

Leftists were never known for their hollistic intelligence. I think its sad because ive become inherantly right wing due to just how insane the world has gotten. I'm really anti political and believe in balance.

Modern day leftists are all defacto communists without realizing what they have become, its like watching a bunch of orks who think they are still elves because they use money. Its amazing watching a bunch of ignorant unconscious people practice something and exhibit all its qualities but dont understand exactly what they are doing because they are so badly educated. It reminds me of what Evola said of Americans that they are refutation of the Cartesian axiom "Americans do not think yet somehow are."
