There was also a lot of misogynist (and transphobic) vitriol directed at Coulter on SA and from the left. Ah, the bad old days.

Casimir Radon posted:Coulter’s relevance has been waning since the earliest days of the Iraq war. Surprised that she’s still around. The weirdest one to pop back up was Michelle Malkin when she tried to glom on to the "groypers". She's another one I hadn't heard a word about since Obama became president.

Ann Coulter is awful of course but I also remember her being critical of Trump breaking promises about immigration stuff so at least she seems to have some policies she cares about (albeit terrible ones) and isn't a hypocrite when her guy does something vs the Democrat in office. That's more than you can say about just about any other person in the RWM-sphere and it's all the praise I'm willing to give her. It's also an observation based on a really small sample size so she very well could have a thousand counter examples.

This probably isn't work safe, and there were some condemnable "jokes" directed toward Coulter so I'm not condoning all of this but does anyone remember the Rob Lowe roast where they just ripped Coulter the whole time? It was right around the rise of Trump and her loss in relevance and it's one of the few times, if not the only time, I've ever seen a right-wing high profile hate-monger take a verbal beat down and look like they're just now realizing "hey, this poo poo actually does kind of hurt". She's still an awful person but I always wondered how much she took in from having non-Nazis punch back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwoGrDa5g2c

She was only briefly popular on the right as "one of the good ones" because she wrote that book which was "as an Asian here is why Japanese internment was good and we should march Arabs into the camps immediately along with everyone who looks like me just in case" because they love that poo poo. But like she's not a blonde skinny white lady so they only care about her when they want to be racist, which is why she popped up again in the Trump era to reassure us exterminating immigrants isn't racist

There was also a pervasive and somewhat credible rumour that it was actually Michelle Malkin’s husband who was ghostwriting all her online material for her, largely because she could not argue for poo poo in real life and would just devolve into incoherent screaming until people gave up trying to engage with her. It was one of those unprovable “prove you’re not what I say you are” things, but her already minuscule credibility never really recovered from it.

nine-gear crow posted:The transition from Bush to Obama and the rise of the Tea Party was basically the end for her. The likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck displaced her as the go-to craziest and evilest motherfucker on the block willing to say anything into a microphone and no one wanted her boring played out antics anymore. They all quickly burned out and faded into irrelevance too, but she didn't even have a moment to try and regain her footing because by that point it was 2014 and The August That Never Ended had rolled around and Gamergate and its associated flotsam and jetsam washed in a wave of even crazier attention-grabbing figures in the likes of Ben Shapiro and Milo and Weird Mike Cernovich and Stephen Crowder and were able to capitalize with their e-savvy into spaces Coulter was too old and techno illiterate to even think of reaching. Wasn't Coulter a never-Trumper? I distinctly remember her bad-mouthing him in 2016. And Crowder and Shapiro were established neocon brands with their own shows nearly a decade before gamergate, and even then they didn't have any involvement besides a glib tweet or two. Anyway, Ann's book sales gradually declined in the late 2000s as younger conservative firebrand women took her place. I was expecting Michelle Malkin to fill the void, which she sort of did. But then Malkin apparently severed herself from the CPAC circuit in protest of them banning some proud boys, so now she's just organizing blue lives matter and pro-ICE rallies.

No she hates the poo poo out of immigrants and was one of his earliest big name conservative supporters for that reason, but no one cared because she was a has-been I think everyone stopped caring about her around 2007 or so after it became clear the wars were a disaster, she shilled for Romney in the 2012 primary but no one cared about that either. E: https://twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/795833821501460480 she seems to just kinda try to jump on whatever train is going to win, in 2012 she was for the serious sensible Romney candidacy, in 2016 she was floating the Nazi definition of German citizenship as a good idea for America, now she's calling Trump a wuss E2: she published this book in August 2016

Some of the old Chuds in my family apparently still liked Coulter enough to buy that Trump book (she really does hate immigrants, which makes sense as she is clearly of indigenous descent) but they are full blown TRUMP 2024 truck wrap infowarrior ride types and I just can’t imagine them forgiving anyone who betrays Trump. Like, who is she pivoting to try to capture here?

It looks like a surgical glove stretched over a skeleton!” In a really high pitched singing voice. Edit: Ok, turns out that was Jimmy Fallon, and not nearly as funny as I remember it.

Real question: is Joe Rogan really not smart enough to recognize where his place is in the griftersphere? Spotify just gave him nine figures. He and his friends are set for life, if they plays their cards right. The clear move is to take the vaccine and either lie about it or get angry whenever anyone asks you about it. Did no one bother to send him the memo? Or is he dumb enough to actually have the doubts he expresses?

You have to be really loving evil and really loving full of contempt and hate for your audience to consciously lie to them about the vaccine while knowing the truth and secretly getting it yourself. I think Joe Rogan sucks but I don't think he's that kind of guy, who wakes up and goes "I love scaring these dumb hicks because they give me their money no matter how many of them die". He's not Swanson frozen foods fortune heir Tucker Carlson. If Rogan says he didn't get it himself I think he's telling the truth and is just stupid.

The fact that he's had some liberal people like Bernie, Yang, and scientists like deGrasse Tyson lead many people to not think he's right wing. I tried telling a coworker a while back about how lovely Rogan is and how often he platforms horrible people, but he just responded with "but he also interviews left wing people too! he gives everyone a platform, you're just mad he does it to people you don't like!"

Man...people around here are all in a bad mood. The anger, tension and frustration in the air is totally palpable. I saw a "TRUMP Not Joe and The Camel Toe" decal in Zapf Chancery font on a truck today that someone thought was worth spending money on, so that was lovely, and a another guy standing outside the same grocery store who was obviously mentally ill wearing Apollo Creed style USA Rocky shorts and a Marines t-shirt delivering some sort of sermon about Covid and Bill Gates. People are losing their ever loving loving minds. Myself included if I'm being honest about it but my issues feel.... a little different. I'm noticing a poo poo load of really aggressive driving too, mostly by Big Loud gently caress Off trucks. Also, an obvious look of pain and anxiety on the faces of anyone working pretty much anywhere I go. poo poo's totally off the rails. If I overhear one more "nobody wants to work anymore", I'm afraid I might snap and go off. Not in a violent way but a verbal one at least.
