Can anyone confirm the facts about the guests in the article? I know it's on fucking medium.com, but the screenshots are fairly damning, and I suppose I'd just like to see if anyone knows if these claims are bad faith or not - I haven't been able to verify much myself.

    I think it's important to remember that in America people are so politically ignorant that the majority don't identify with any ideology. They just repeat the rhetoric rote of whatever prevailing ideology surrounds them. This is why the vox populi can change so rapidly; there is no foundation for which the majority are tied. They can be quickly and easily swayed by strong rhetoric.... but only if it confirms their biases. So, in some ways I almost feel like in America there is a good case to be made for right-wing outreach. This is especially true if the message is against "the elite" which the right-wing are already primed to oppose. The biggest element of political analysis the right is missing is as to how profit is made and why that goes against everything they believe about the right of the individual to earn the fruits of their own labor.
