    TPUSA became famous in large part due the free advertising generated from liberal and leftist outrage over their messaging, but in 2024 they no longer need that outrage to grow. They are now large enough a brand for their own community to generate that press for them.

    You can ignore their shit stirring, but it won’t cripple them, it will just mean you don’t know what their enemy of the week is.

      it will just mean you don’t know what their enemy of the week is.

      That doesn’t exactly sound like a negative to me.

      I say they’re irrelevant because they have no experience in anything other than spreading propaganda to keep right wing idiots in a permanent state of fear and outrage. They argue in bad faith. They’re neither interesting nor insightful. They have no accomplishments. As people, they’re remarkably dull and uninteresting.

      So again, why give them the attention they seek?

          I already know what they’re doing. Hell, I could write a ChatGPT prompt that would spit out the exactly same drivel as these clowns and save myself the time.

            Ha, not a bad point, but now you know they’re outright, irrefutably, no dogwhistles endorsing racism and can even point to a specific example if you need to.

              The far right has been doing that for as long as the far right has existed. Strom Thurmond, Barry Goldwater, David Duke, etc etc.
