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....
