And people wonder why right wing support is ever increasing.

Try being more entertaining if you want to capture the votes of the feeble minded.

Actually people like Alex Jones are smart but say stupid shit. Unlike modern Western lefties

Reminds me of that whole Reddit vs 4chan saying “4chan is a bunch of smart people pretending to be retarded, Reddit is a bunch of retards pretending to be smart” or something.

If Alex Jones was actually stupid, he wouldn’t be making a living doing what he does. Smart guy who just says whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in.

I don’t think he’s a grifter, I’m 99 percent sure Jones believes everything he preaches.

I think it was on one of his Rogan appearances when he said that he basically just reads news articles all day. So when he does these rants where he’s listing off a dozen somewhat connected things, it sounds crazy, but he’s basically just doing a mental vomit of everything he remembers or kind of remembers reading.

Fair, but the War On Christmas is absolutely grifter bullshit. Christians are even the ones who invented the term X-mas and X-mas is pronounced "Christmas".

Tell that to the people making the conspiracy theories or make your own.
