to try to get attention. To keep his ignorant followers attention he had to do the red meat. He couldn't do a regular debate or discussion of his views.

The Grifting was a huge part of this as it is with many other right wingers on social media.

So she needs to keep the money coming in and figuring out how to do it. It will be easy for the next few months as I'm sure they will buy whatever shit they sell and if she decides to do appearances they will pay for it. It's in the long run when things might change.

I think if she met a wealthy left leaning type that could provide same or more wealth and lifestyle she would easily take it.

In the end it's about the grifting.
