The Vipers
Watching Thomas Massie’s concession speech, a room full of his fiery supporters, and I am quickly transported to what I am actually seeing — this was a Ron Paul speech of old. And maybe we do still sneak in Rand Paul — endosrser and supporter of the guy after all. Along with amusingly enough the endorsement of Kyle Rittenhouse who… Bastard jackass even if I take the unpopular defence attorney position on and there get kicked out of any respectable table regarding.
In the end, the guy won every age demographic except the over 65s. And I have no great sense one way or the other if the circumstance of this election were different, the swamp of campaign and social engineering from the parties required would have targeted the campaign younger — gotten the ad spots on the tik and toks, bought off something in the Fuentes and Rogan and Pooles instead of Fox News and Newsmax and Wheel of Fortune. Thomas Massie was, as so happens, more Doge supportive than anyone, conceptually. Also moved forward past Trump on two campaign promises in releasing the Epstein Files opposing the war in Iran and foreign intervention — his two big crosses against Trump and major animating reasons on how the guy was elected.
What do I make of this Ron Paul energy, for a man who is set to go to his off the grid homestead and drink a lot of raw milk? Who the heck beat him and off what?
YouTube is dumping ads for the latest from Ben Shapiro. I don’t know. In earlier periods when I watched some conservative content and some things that maybe code culturally conservative, I would understand — but now I sense a desperate lurch at that time he has lost 80 percent of his audience, I seek a full expose on the nature of propped up conservative youtube content with Shapiro as test case. The sponsored video I am not clicking on is on “Brainrot Defeated”, a celebration of the defeat of Massie. And if nothing else, Shapiro is a fan of military bombings, so it passes. But I have watched the ads of Massie’s opponent and that of the next congressman from that Kentucky district. I have heard him speak after Trump and Vance. He ran a full speed run against The View. And have a scintillating ad with Massie getting ready to have a three-way with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex and Ilhan Omar — to be sure, a metaphor visually depicted and I guess working well for Kentucky Fox News viewers.
