I’m so glad I can’t be bought like these people. Embarrassing.

Interesting. When critics, former allies, media figures, insiders, and longtime supporters all start peeling away, you can call it ‘the crazy wing leaving.’

Or… you can consider the possibility that repeated defections from inside a movement are not random.

I think you'll find those you named are the least of "your" problems.

I believe Tucker has been compromised with threats to his family & or bribed with money.

All the others were simply grifters. 100%.

Telling how AOC is still in but MTG & Massie are now on the outside.

Then quit. No amount of money is worth your family.

In a vacuum, I’ll grant you that the defections of someone like Thomas Massie or Joe Kent could be eye opening.

However, when (a) they’re supported by the absolute worst people in politics and (b) they run to social media, you know they aren’t genuine and just want to cash in on the grift.

Anyone who leaves is either manipulated by bad people or cashing in.

Convenient theory. Almost completely insulated from the annoying possibility that some people simply changed their minds.

I keep reading that Massie votes with Democrats. What specifically has he voted with Democrats on? I’m not taking up for the guy, just trying to figure out what people are talking about and if there’s any truth in that statement

Ben Shapiro is a pristine role model compared to the idiots like Fuentes and Tucker Carlson


Shapiro is the reason Fuentes even exists, and Fuentes' audience dwarfs Shapiro's by several orders of magnitude.

I'm not sure how you can watch "influencers" like tucker, Candace and Megyn Kelly and come to the conclusion that they're simply just changing their minds. if nothing else, tucker's interview with the New York Times should have been eye opening.

like I said, in a vacuum I could easily accept that Kent and Massie just changed their minds. however, Kent's first course of action was to make the rounds on the podcast circuit and Massie's alignment with folks like Ryan Matta & Tucker tells me all I need to know about him.

Fuentes is a democrat just like all the other pseudo libertarians.

Sigh. No one cares if they're a Republican or a Democrat. They're all the same, advancing towards a nearly identical agenda.

Fuentes was all-in on Trump 45. But he correctly called that Trump 47 would be very different. Trump became the very Swamp he originally railed against. While Fuentes himself sat out 2024, many of his listeners pulled the lever for Trump. It hasn't worked out, at all, and Fuentes was right.

Maybe Trump shouldn't have started a war that nobody in the base other than Fox boomers wanted.

Rand Paul has to be primaried from the Senate. That guy is radioactive because he’s very articulate and can easily control the narrative on an interview by conveniently leaving out certain facts that would disprove his narrative.

It’s no wonder his next door neighbor nearly beat him to death a few years ago. He’s an a-hole.
