This is what happens when you realize you can make tens of millions of dollars a year saying whatever batshit thing pops into your head and selling chinese snake oil.

tbh I'm surprised he didn't use the popularity of fidget spinners as a springboard for some mind control conspiracy [editline]e[/editline] oh shit they got to him first

I like Alex Jones, he's so easy to relate to. For one thing, neither of us has kids.

He pretty much admits to taking advantage of retards and it all being an act.

alex jones funko pop when?

At best I have friends who just like him ironically for memes. I actually really wonder where the hell his demographic are if he has so many fans.

It's weird thinking that Alex Jones operates out of the most liberal city in Texas. He's this weird blemish on the liberal paradise that is Austin.

[QUOTE=StrykerE;52562501]Isn't Austin itself a weird blemish on the conservative paradise that is Texas?[/QUOTE] Exactly. It'd make more sense if he was broadcasting from somewhere like Amarillo or even Dallas. Austin is a weird choice, and the only reasoning I can think is because it's also the capital city.

[QUOTE=StrykerE;52562501]Isn't Austin itself a weird blemish on the conservative paradise that is Texas?[/QUOTE] So we got pimples growing on pimples? That's both gross and interesting.

They might not believe every single crazy conspiracy theory, but they generally agree with his "war against the globalists" angle.

[QUOTE=Flicky;52562378]It's weird thinking that Alex Jones operates out of the most liberal city in Texas.

[QUOTE=Tudd;52563134]It really isn't that weird. It is the state capital and thus a hub for conservatives or other politically fringe groups.[/QUOTE] It also has voted reliably democratic for years?

[QUOTE=Tudd;52563134]It really isn't that weird.

I live there and I can tell you it's [i]very[/i] liberal. [img]https://thepolitikalblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/texas-voting-shift-1996-to-2008.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52563146]It also has voted reliably democratic for years?[/QUOTE] The point I am making is that you still have some of the most prominent conservative lawmakers who live in the vicinity and operate in the state capital. Alex Jones being anywhere remotely liberal-leaning is abit weird, but he grew up there apparently. I go to Austin quite often and quite aware of the general demographics though. :v:
