    Makes sense. He’s part of a larger cultural manipulation “movement.” It’s not so much that it’s organized but that he and people like him are useful to the fascists as he’s one part of a larger worldview that keeps reich wingers attached to the far right and therefore solid votes for MAGA.

    There really is a conspiracy of cultural manipulation, but it’s not like they all get together in a smokey room and discuss plans. It’s more like a whole bunch of useful idiots working in their own self interest that play into a larger movement which is what Bannon aimed to weaponize and what people like Muskrat signal boost on their platforms. :/

      It’s not a formal conspiracy, but an alignment of interests among the oligarchs and grifters.
