π€ SpeakerAppearances Over Time
Podcast Appearances
Well, it looked quite small.
It was less charged up than we've come to expect.
It wasn't a collapse.
They had the event and, you know, people went, they had speakers and whatever.
But this is not what we have come to expect for CPAC.
It's not what we've come to expect CPAC to represent.
from a sociocultural standpoint in American politics.
And incredibly, the idea of Trump being impeached was cheered at CPAC, humiliating organizer Matt Schlapp, who said, no, no, no, that's the wrong answer.
They're still cheering.
And you can see this guy in the back sort of like, oh, dear God, we are about to get eaten alive by the monster we helped build.
Now, for comparison, here's one hundred thousand people at the Boston Common in Boston, Massachusetts.
Here is the crowd in this is in Dallas, Texas.
of all places, just the massive, massive crowd, not a crowd of donors, not a crowd of insiders, not people with conference badges and VIP meet and greets.
And it's just regular people who decided to show up.
And it was all over the country.
So this kind of leads us to ask
Maybe the obvious question, what actually represents political energy right now?
Because for years the narrative has been the right shows up and the left doesn't.
