it being inferred he was a left wing extremist like some others in the news right now was so stupid... dummies...

I have to disagree because I think this conclusion is a trap.

The people listening to that stuff and eating it up? Yeah, dummies.

The people SAYING that stuff though? It feels very intentional because it's a win-win for them. At the beginning they get the base riled up, donating, and engaging with the propaganda machine. Then later on when Luigi suddenly gets off on a technicality, the outrage over that fuels even more furor, donating, and posting/watching.

Conservatives live on outrage. It is irresistible to them. Especially to the white persecution complex ones like my extended family, god damn.
