    Funnily enough he used to be pretty left.

    It’s like this right wing conspiracy pipeline is a honeypot for pond scum that reveals who they really are.

      Populist rhetoric works because it offers seemingly simple solutions to complex problems and excuses behavior that would otherwise be unacceptable.

      Sometimes it’s even a good excuse, others just an outlet for hate and stress.

        He always struck me as one of those people who wasn’t, in his heart of hearts, actually left-wing, but rather just wanted to be counter-cultural. The culture has shifted around him and now if he wants to be counter-cultural it means being alt-right.
