    No he doesn’t actually, he’s genuinely dumb. Covid broke his brain, and he retreated from the criticism into a right wing bubble and that’s now his entire worldview because it’s just one big echo chamber

      It cost a billion dollars to shut Alex Jones up. Did it maybe have something to do with Rogans $100m Spotify deal?

      Both can be true, it is always a mix of believing and pretending to with them. I listened to him advance arguments about prez’s lawsuits on media he knew were bs, and castigating environmental protesters with arguments he knows are not valid.

      But yeah I am sure he believes a lot of it, or starts to believe in the echo chamber even. These people have no fealty to reality, society, the republic that made them rich and protects their wealth. They believe in nothing outside of self interest, emulating people like the president.

      They do not even look at it like true or lie, good or bad, only if it helps them or not.
