Your bread and butter is like, oh, you guys are so academic. You guys are so smart with all this like sexual, political, feminist theory stuff. I love talking about influencers. I want to bring my specialty to the table.

I'm so happy I could have that impact on people. So, you know, you the listener, you talking to you. If you listen to this podcast, you know that I often tell stories about culture and politics through stories about online influencers. This episode will be no different. And I want to talk about someone who I have spent years paying attention to. And that is a one classically Abby.

And she'll be like, but I'd never wear, you know, pink eyeshadow and false lashes like these crazy promiscuous women of today.

So I put Classically Abby in here because she is, to me, the early 2020s example of a truly conservative, like Republican influencer. She is like, let me explain. Oh, I'm so happy I can finally talk about this. It's like... It's like standing up after six years of sitting down.

In 2019, Classically Abby joins YouTube as someone who's clearly trying to just be like a makeup influencer, like a Tati Westbrook type. I have these screenshots of some of her first videos. And they're all they're like, classic winter look winged eyeliner, high end makeup, try on, you know, Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palette review.

It's a masterpiece. She's so fascinating to me. Immediately after this video comes out, and it goes pretty viral. It has a million views. She immediately turns into what I wrote in my notes as if Phyllis Schlafly was a YouTuber. Here are some of her video titles. Why you should dress modestly. Get the attention you deserve. Why WAP is degrading to women. Dear ladies, it's good to act like a lady.
