It's honestly hilarious how small the conservative footprint on the internet is - while absolutely awful and hateful... 3 million followers, really? I know niche content creators with bigger followings.
Edit: As an example - cooking recipes from old cookbooks (i.e. Dylan Hollis) has three times the audience.
They're a very vocal minority.
And violent.
Are you referring to Jan 6 alone or are there other examples?
"There were a large number of far right killings and car attacks at Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020."
Kind of weird to reference Kyle Rittenhouse after being exonerated, not to mention the antifa guy who shot and killed a counter protester, and was later killed by police. Like what exactly does that prove?
You asked if there were any examples other than J6. I provided examples. I don't understand your confusion.
I guess maybe you didn't read the article very closely, but those are terrible examples.
"Are you referring to Jan 6 alone or are there other examples?"
Other examples. Not good examples, you asked for "other examples." I provided other examples. Now you're trying to move the goalposts and say the examples aren't good enough?
Oh sorry I guess I should have clarified that I was looking for bad examples.
Unite the Reich in Charlottesville VA.
And that's actually a problem. We tend to form most opinions on what is "normal" based on exposure repetitions, and not on quality. A vocal minority of 3 million with a direct line of view of 100 million will substantially shift the Overton window despite being a minority.
Even really niche content like LockPickingLawyer on YouTube has nearly 4.5 million followers. And I actively see people referencing him. Libs of Tik Tok really only pops up in articles like this.
Of course, I also don’t really hang out in places where fans of it might congregate. But from my perspective it’s just not something that seems to have a large influence.
They consolidate into Truth Social and only stray from Republican focused groups long enough to jab Biden, hoping to convince opponents that they shouldn’t vote.
Did anyone see that interview with Taylor Lorenz? Chaya's so dumb. This anti-LGBT stuff is her bread and butter and she doesn't know a damn thing about it.
Well yeah knowing about people only makes being a professional bigot harder.
Got a link?
Ah like the state government laws in red political states?
Her jawline makes her look like she does a shit ton of stimulants.
Yeah, she's got that fucking Johnny Bravo phenotype.
Dont do my boy Johnny dirty like that.
I'm sorry champ. I like Johnny Bravo too, and I kinda regret my comparison now 😅
I hate her so much.
