Welcome back to "Stream of Kurtiousness!" I want to talk today about whether MAGA has the potential to fracture, given a few lunatic podcasters seem hellbent on doing so. You see a lot of people online who appear to have become politically "aware" and part of MAGA all of about two weeks ago. The podcast bros and their audiences have no political learned experiences to form opinions based on feelings and vibes. There's a guy named Comic Dave Smith online who has no basis for any of his beliefs but posts crap that gets engagement. Uneducated people will see his stupid takes and believes it as fact. Candace Owens has become so demonic in her obsession to get clicks that she's slandering Charlie Kirk's widow. It's pure evil. In the current political environment, social influencers don't need mass support to succeed. New media is great because the mainstream media can no longer set the agenda, but just like in high school, a certain number of people in new media are simply jerks!
