“who are Republicans spending time with online and what do those people believe” is a story that the media has completely ignored for years and we might be in a different place if the public was actually aware how many of those people are outright Nazis

Most people will never make a video or bother going outside normie channels. Even then, youtube’s own algorithm defaults to auto play, which these weirdos don’t turn off, and serves them up videos of kids, mma fights, and devolving toxic masculinity.
The quality of the YT algorithm is certainly worth discussing, my comment was about how people get pushed to platforms that are not mainstream. The radicalization there happens out of sight!

The left VASTLY underestimates how effective transphobia has been at tacking people to the right. It’s disgusting and I wish it weren’t so, but this shit got mainstreamed and now marginalized people are being harmed.
But this is what actually needs to be addressed: understanding how bad actors like Walsh can come across as good faith to regular normie liberals who aren’t very online, how they effectively use transphobia, and what we can do
