I always like to tell people that if influencers had no power, they wouldn't exist, right?

And every vote matters from a political perspective.

And therefore, if 100,000 people are following somebody like Erica Kirk and they decide to vote in alignment with her, that can make an impact on our society, on our leadership, on the direction of our country.

And so they are incredibly prolific.

And it's not just a numbers game here.

I think a lot of people like to play that game where they say, you know, well, they only have X amount of followers, so therefore they are not, you know, as valuable.

I don't really believe in that, right?

I think there are more qualitative metrics we can use when we're talking about who these women are and the impact that they're having.

Yeah, it's incredibly important for the far right to have these women who are willing to sort of lay themselves on the line and share these messages publicly.

Because what it does is it makes everyone else feel like these messages are okay.

And if somebody who is on social media sees Erica Kirk or Alex Clark or Allie Beth Stuckey make a particular comment online publicly...

then they feel it's okay to make that same comment in their mom group or in line at school pickup.

And that's how the messages begin to spread, right?

The community, the word of mouth, both digitally and in your everyday lived experience, that has a lot of power.

If we look at specifically in the United States, the past three elections and how close those elections are, we're talking hundreds of thousands of votes in certain states.

A hundred thousand votes is somebody's online audience.

And so that matters, right?

That matters.

And so even if it seems trivial at the time, in my opinion, it is very much not.

And I don't think that we can overplay or overstate the influence of many of these women.
