It feel like both those are sarcasm. If one or both of them isn’t, I’d have to completely guess.

I like how he says the most insane crap ever, but won’t type out crap.

Was the Russia hoax docs the trade off for the Epstein files?

It's quite the coincidence that the minute Trump burys the Epstein investigation, suddenly they find the incriminating docs for the russiagate hoax.

If I'm Trump, I'd probably take the deal too. The epstein list was never going to be released anyway. (Sorry just being realistic).

Exposing the Russia hoax evidence does more good politically for the country than the Epstein list.

QANON/MAGA (circa 2020: GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE.
QANON/MAGA (august 2025): Actually, Trump is making a GREAT DEAL to trade God's Children for RUSSIA HOAX EVIDENCE.

I think while initially, and tbh persisting for a good bit, there was considerable overlap between MAGA types, Q types, and other far right leaners, this is much less pronounced now. If you want to get a decent idea or understanding of this the recent conversation between Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes is a good illustration.

Does any of that really matter when come voting time, they will all just get in line and vote for pedophiles no matter which group they fall in to?

A sixteen year old gill maybe a minor but she is well aware of her sexuality, I was 'hit on' many times by girls as young as 13 when I was a young single coach coming out of A&M. I did nothing to encourage or 'groom; them at all other than be 6'2" athletic blue eyed guy!

Holy moly. Every rough ridin' creep bad person’s favorite, “she was totally asking for it” response. I wonder where he was and what he was doing when this was totally happening to him in real life?

Let's not go out of our way to prosecute GOP politicians while we constantly give dems a free pass. We're still working on holding dems accountable for sedition/treason from 9 years ago. Plus there's all the mortgage scams they're running that don't get delt with. We can go after GOP politicians but there's a line right now

Did American Eagle pull off a "wokefishing" campaign?

So, here is what I surmise happened with AE:

1) They released an ad campaign that anti-woke people would like, because it has a beautiful woman showing off her beauty.

2) The ad campaign included messages which could easily be interpreted in a way that is offensive. People have said that the ad campaign promotes eugenics (a HUGE stretch). But, the language is just as easily interpreted in a non-offensive way. "My jeans are blue" is a clever play on words related to genes that you pass on and jeans that you wear and, presumably, can pass on. They never really mention that Sweeny's eyes are blue, but the inference can be made that there is a relationship between her blue jeans and her genes for blue eyes.

3) Leftist media goes crazy. AE is talked about non-stop about being evil by the MSM.

4) AE doesn't apologize, but doesn't defend any racist message that could be pulled from the ad. "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." Simply deny the fact that the ad is racist, and that people who interpret it as racist are choosing to do so.

5) AE not backing down to wokeism results in support from right-leaning media.

All of this could have been easily predicted. In fact, the positioning of the ad makes me think that AE was actually out for all of the free press that was going to come with the ad campaign, insinuating racist language just enough to draw the ire of the press, but not enough to actually be racist. Since the demand for racism is higher than the supply, AE decided to provide something that the MSM would sell as racism that the average American consumer was not going to buy as racism.

The result is that AE got about $1billion worth of free advertising, and Sweeny got a huge boost to her career, as long as she can get hired by Hollywood again.

I would think that this could be easily repeated by other companies that are not all that entrenched with the far left side of the political spectrum. Ads that will be offensive to 10% of the population, will become the number one news item at the time that they come out, and the other 90% of the population will roll their eyes at the racism accusations.

AE effectively went fishing for a ton of free publicity without harming their brand. On the contrary, AE might actually have a stronger brand now than they did before the campaign. They landed a real lunker.

Anyone have any other examples of a "wokefishing" campaign? Any ideas of a good one not yet implemented?

Are there actually woke libs who were upset or is that all part of the fantasy?

Obviously. Because you’re always 9 steps behind or whatever - Dax(a woke lib, but also a conservative pub, but also can change depending on context so I’m always right)

I think there was some legitimate backlash, but I also don't think the backlash is getting talked about outside of MAGA land nearly as much as inside.

uch as inside.

Honestly it would be a pretty fascinating research project to map out how this story spread. I follow some pretty woke libs and I saw like one mention of eugenics from someone I didn't know and that was legitimately it. Meanwhile my timeline was Zohran love 24/7 in June.

To all of the people saying "racist," I think the OP wanted to discuss what is in that particular video, not whether he is otherwise a racist. I don't think I've heard of that guy before, but he sure hit the nail on the head in that video.

Being a racist doesn't categorically preclude you from having valid points and informed opinions about anything in the world, and indeed his points in that video are dead on.

In that video, Nick Fuentes states the uncomfortable truth - and the Hodge Twins AGREE with him. Liberalism is built on lies about race, gender, immigration, crime, climate, and history. The Revolution of Common Sense requires that we state the truth, right the wrongs, and discard political correctness. Nick Fuentes is a realist.

[nicname]

Fuentes probably believes some of the things he says, but not all. He’s an edgelord who constantly moves further and further right in order to shift the Overton window. Lots of people obv believe/believe in everything he says.
