It happened in narrative fiction.

I say less consequential and probably it's actually more consequential over time, but less sort of urgent than say someone like Candace Owens might be.

And so you just don't see it in the same way because your average interaction with, say, a radically left-wing Hollywood actor isn't them telling you their opinion.

It's them performing a role or playing a part.

Because the right was sort of boxed out of that, the major apparatus of culture formation for the last several decades, we found, in part because of the work of Daily Wire and in part because of the work of others, we found these alternative lanes which are much more direct

talking into the camera, saying what you believe.

And so that's where we've actually built our audiences.

That's the kind of trust that was placed in us from day one.

And so I think you see the abuse of it a lot more clearly on the right.

And there may be something in this sort of conservative mindset that makes us more susceptible to, say, conspiracy theory.

You know, when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I had a teacher in high school who had a poster on the wall that said, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

It's a great Nixon quote.

But that is a conservative kind of point of view that because we are in a sort of bunker mentality, we are hard done by and we are beset.

And so you do begin to see...

you do begin to see probably threats that aren't there.

Patterns that aren't there.

I mean, I think that's probably part of the bunker mindset is well put because I think a lot of it is there's a sort of feeling on the right that I certainly see that people feel like the world is moving in a direction they really don't like.

and therefore there must be a small group of people that are in charge of this process.

With very tiny hats.
