        Wow. This is highly problematic and I will not be spending $20 each on a dozen copies of your new hardcover book.

      It doesn't matter to the people she is grifting. They ain't rational.

      As long as she throws in some hate every once in awhile she could speak in tongues for all they care.

        honestly with a lot of these people i think their brains are smooth like a couple chicken breasts in their lil' skulls, they didn't get their positions by being skilled at grifting but rather having the exact kind of cursed brain that produces this kind of shit without needing money. She (and other but not all right wing grifters) would be posting this shit with like sixty followers if they weren't scions of connected people. Another one that comes to mind is bret stephens, my mans would be crying about being called a bedbug even if he were a copywriter for Sears or whatever.

      Easy to mistake contrarianism for intelligence, if you aren't that smart.

      Bari Weiss's fans were never that smart, but they sure think they are.
