It's not so much Trump has used them.
They have used Trump.
And there does come a point in time where somebody outlives their usefulness and their utility, right?
In a very Machiavellian way, they see that that gravy train is about to come to a screeching halt.
Why?
Because the man is truly fucking crazy.
And he really should be put out to pasture.
And so for them, they've now found that new channel of grift.
And that's why they're so hot to trot, because now they're going to try to be a little bit on the line of kind of let's be credible.
You know, let's go on that space because that actually has a little bit of room to grow because they're really they've tapped out the super crazy Maga land stuff.
They've tapped that out.
I mean, they can find some new conspiracy theory, but I think they're trying to say, let's go into the credibility lane a little bit here and let's try to pick up some new people.
And there's something that I have been harping on all week, which has been the J.D.
Vance election interference in Hungary's elections, right?
We have sent the vice president of the United States, not we per se, to Hungary to help an autocrat in Viktor Orban achieve his fifth consecutive term as prime minister.
And one of the things that Orban did effectively and at the very beginning of his autocratic reign was he took over media.
OK, he eliminated the independence of the media, the free press, which is very much a page out of the Orban playbook that Trump has been trying to do here with the consolidation and these big merger mergers and these big anti-competition things that we're seeing, including cracking down on journalists like Don Lemon and Georgia Fort and other.
Right.
Like this is kind of a part of the game.
when you actually have the kind of wild wild west of digital media that a lot of us are living in now including tucker megan alex nick fuentes and others when you have to now start trying to curb even that measure of free speech because you know that is exactly where trump is going if trump is not able to bring them back into the fold then he's going to try to silence them like he does to all opposition in this country
