but that’s because Tate struck me as the kind of person that anybody with two brain cells to rub together would just stop paying attention to him after reading about him for five seconds, but most Americans no longer have two brain cells to rub together. Think how many of these right-wing boneheads are given a platform to speak and their five minutes of fame because we’re all into such political drama (remember Milo Yiannopolous?). So of course there’d be an easy possibility that a douchebag like Tate would get plaudits from dumbasses like Carlson and Rogan from the start. I mean, the guy posted stuff that read like serious versions of the troll posts on Chem Trails And You (“reading books is for pussies!”)
