I ask this in particular after this particular cognitohazard dropped:

is the most condescendingly toxic kind of Reddit New Atheist and has made that part of his brand for decades, so that already rules out most religious people that don't just see religion as some sort of country club gathering.
He has the same creepy misanthropic view of children, where he holds them in contempt and clearly wants to violate them too, that a lot of kiddie-creeping boomers do, so that probably rules out most people significantly younger than him unless he's directly throwing money at them and they're accepting it.
He believes in (or at least professes belief for profit) a lot of Qanon shit, in particular against trans people, so that even rules out a lot of wine liberals that I assume would otherwise clink wine glasses to his smuglord quips.
He's just about definitive Blue MAGA, which red MAGA despises anyway, so he isn't likely to have much a fandom there outside of fickle "he is one of the good ones" gimmicks where he might show up on a chud podcast or something sometimes.
I truly don't know and I'm sincerely asking: what demographic is left with all of that (and more) carved out that might like that particular piece of shit? What's his revenue source besides being rich already?
Exactly this. He watches MSNBC and takes their word as gospel for what a good liberal should think, anything outside of that is unserious to him. I remember his contempt for the Bush administration but once Obama stepped into office things were "back to normal" despite Obamas policies being a continuation of GWB, then Trump broke his fucking brain and thought brandon brought things "back to normal" despite being a continuation of Trumps policies.
He gets more upset with people protesting the US' involvement and reminding him of the genocide in Gaza than the fact it's actually happening. He views it as a strictly religious conflict and "dumb" in his words. He's the definition of a civility lib.
I had some downright ghoulish coworkers at my old district that would cackle about bloodshed in the middle east as a bunch of (slurs slurs slurs) killing each other nonstop because they are (ableistic slurs slurs slurs) and found it "funny" and even said it was "popcorn" for them while watching CNN.
Ghouls. Fucking ghouls.
Thankfully my dad isn't this bad. He doesn't like the fact that it's happening but having to see and hear about it is bad and protesting is going too far. He has 0 material analysis of why its happening, only that it should stop by way of Hamas being destroyed for being "terrorists". He doesn't like the Israelis either but he would never call them terrorists
Treat interruption is a high crime and misdemeanor for brunch liberals, that's for sure.
"What if BLM made me late for work? I would (tacticool fantasy of murder revenge here)" so went one conversation after the George Floyd protests.
Sometimes I think I should take my lunch in the staff lounge as the tech guy instead of our office, but I don't need to know how incredibly reactionary some of my piers are.
I wanted to eat my lunch in my own classroom, but there was some petty school-specific rule against it so I had to hear, for years, about which murderfucker was on the Iron Throne that week, or about how epic this one SV moment was. Totally not condoning it while gobbling it up and oinking all the while, of course.
