    Just listened a bit. These guys deep dive quite a bit, but I hope that this bump is from people who are previous Trump voters that now realize how fucked they are by Trump and get angry.

        He’s created that in large part because of the media environment around him. Many republicans were upset and outraged on Jan 6th until they heard the fox news, rogan, etc line

        Change the media consumption and a lot will follow from there. Changes to which media are more dominate are going to matter more than people think

        Trump is a conman and excellent salesman.

        In a cult he could say whatever and they’d believe him. This did not work out well when he tried to get MAGA vaccinated with the vaccines “he” produced.

        Instead he floats everything under the rainbow and runs with whatever gets the most cheers.

        https://youtu.be/klYjLMJ4z3E?t=646 Timestamp 10:47 for a cult expert explaining it.

      Do they actually do interviews with experts? Or is it just two dudes pretending to be experts and presenting (mis)information

        Yes they do. They also interview a lot of the Democratic congress critters. The lawyer that represents Luigi has been a regular contributor to the Meidas Touch for the last year or so.

        Jon Stewart’s podcast is also good if you want interviews with experts. He also gets far more nerdy and into the weeds in his podcast than he ever was allowed to on TV or streaming
