When did your sort of online provocateur type stuff start to align specifically with like conservative politics and like the Republican Party?
In college, you start posting a lot of conservative content online.
I went back and looked at your content, Ashley.
Like many right-wing influencers, a lot of it centered around posting videos of queer people or activists at protests, like protesting things like ICE.
or people wearing masks in 2020 and kind of making fun of them.
You use the terms crybaby liberals, triggered liberals, and deranged liberals like hundreds of times.
So this is actually what I wrote in my notes here, that there are so many people who post that sort of content online.
It's very cruel and it's also incredible for engagement.
Did you feel passionately that these people you were posting about and were making fun of, that they deserved the things that you and your followers were saying to them?
Or did you just enjoy the engagement and attention?
Take me into the mind of 19-year-old Ashley.
Oh, she's not.
She's apologizing to me for my organization purposes.
Ashley, like I said, I was going through some of your tweets and I have to point out, not entirely on a lighter note, but like I said, there were so many deranged liberal tweets.
There's this one from July 29th, 2019.
It's a selfie of you.
Sorry, I know you're cringing if someone's not watching the video version of this podcast, but it is kind of funny.
It's a plain selfie.
You're wearing a MAGA hat.
