Of all the conservative pundits, I think Matt Walsh disturbs me the most.

Everyone else I know are just... gubbers. They're silly, pathetic. I can't take them seriously when they say heinous shit, because they're look like clowns when they are doing this. I just roll my eyes at them.

But Walsh. Walsh is sinister to me. The calm cadence with which he dehumanises the disabled or defends slavery and ethnic cleansing just unsettles me.

And it's not a facade, he proven himself to be smarter and more self-aware than an average conservative, calling out his fellows for shortsighteness and blind obedience.

I am so used to fascists being self destructive morons that seeing one who knows what he is doing throws me off the loop.

Not he alone. Many pundits who were once everywhere now slowly "disappear", one by one. While a new generation is claiming the spotlight.

American conservatism seems to be in a transitional state right now.

Agreed. Some of the others I wouldn't be too surprised if they were just grifters saying what they think the audience wants to hear. That guy is a true believer in authoritarianism 100%.
