Blake Lively

They don't sit around and watch

long episodes.

He definitely has a dedicated audience on his streams, which, Megan, I think you're right.

The left drove so many young men, especially straight into his arms and empowered him with their rhetoric that was often wildly over the top, inaccurate, wrong, and bigoted against men in so many cases.

Just did that for the last 15 years and then don't want to have to reckon with the consequences.

But

More so, he's, for many, many people, a meme.

They're laughing at him.

They're not laughing with him.

They don't really know much about him.

They don't have much context for him.

And it's a meme.

It's a meme.

It's a meme that has been used as a distraction from some of these structural problems that people would rather not talk about because it implicates them.

It implicates the worldviews that they have perpetuated.

It implicates the worldviews that they still hold dear about the ickiness of populism and the hoi polloi being wrong about their own fates.
