And yeah, I figure he’ll live but he’s almost certainly not gonna get rich and famous. That’s all I meant

Pretty sure this guy with zero relevant experience is going to be rich now. techcrunch.com/2025/02/06/a...

Yeah, but that guy was in the mainstream news for a solid 9 months. This guy is an attempted influencer with a gofundme because he was on one episode of a web show.

Like I said, it won’t ruin his life. It’s a speed bump. But this guy did not beat a murder case on TV, so I doubt somebody’s just gonna give him a million dollars

There’s a lot of impunity on the right but I’m very resistant to the idea that these people are indestructible or that everything that happens is good for them.

I am a journalist. Bet anything this guy is back in politics by 2027. People who got fired from state GOP‘s because of my journalism two years ago are getting jobs again. Someone I wrote about being at a Nick Fuentes rally has a Senate confirmation on Thursday

Oh I didn’t see the whole show. I didn’t think this guy actually worked in politics, I thought he just happened to be in the kind of groyper podcast scene

He didn’t, but they all want to. They all want to be in politics in some form, whether that is an influencer or a c4 or doing something at turning point. I don’t know that those doors are closed to him now. We’ll see.

By “this guy” I meant one in the article that I was linking. I was just trying to provide a variety of examples.

Ohhh, gotcha. Yeah, I guess I’m just more skeptical that this guy is able to maintain his level of micro-celebrity, let alone make money off it. Like that’s what people mean when they say this’ll be the best thing that happened to him.

But I totally see what you mean about getting hired by Turning Point if that’s what he’s basically after.

Yeah an established c4 pays better than influencer 99% of the time.

Well that’s what I’m saying. There’s a whole world of jobs that aren’t celebrity that he’s perfectly eligible and qualified for. Perhaps more qualified now than ever.

For sure
