Don't think I've seen this much hilariously salty people on Twitter come after me since J.K. Rowling quote-tweeted me. This is audience Ana Kasparian has cultivated. I wonder why... 🤔

Wow! I never was into TYT and only discovered them through the Hasan connection. Tbh, this whole thing has made me realize how left of left I am. I've always had an aversion to people who I feel put on a front or aren't genuine. Keep telling it how it is! We need people like you 💙
My favorite was one guy who was like "I'm going to laugh at you when you get killed in the same way you're laughing at this ceo" or something like that but he deleted it because I think he got the sense that kind of thing doesn't bother me. 😂
I was told that as well. It’s funny how people like that think they’re acting any more righteous while feeling the exact same kind of anger toward me. So, then does the next person get to feel anger toward the person who is glad of my demise, for being glad of someone’s demise? I smell hypocrisy.
Crap like that is why I'm on Twitter less and less. I can't subject myself to these people anymore.
As for TYT...I'm ending my subscription. Ana has gone off the deep end and if I have to hear one more line of "Um actually the right wing has been very friendly and welcoming" I'm gonna puke
Keep being you Mike. TYT became unwatchable for me after Ana started bashing trans people.
I'm sorry, but you can't be progressive while trashing people based on who they are as opposed to the way they choose to be.
TYT was unwatchable long before that. Idk why anyone is surprised. Cenk has always been a petulant, self-absorbed, man-child. Ana has always been a NIMBY Karen who hates seeing dirty homeless people. This is all just who they have always been.
Yeah it seems innocuous and people tried to gently reason with her when it happened, but she just kept doubling down. One of their trans employees Bennie Carollo quit because of this drama. No idea if anyone good is left because I don't watch TYT now.
Hey Mike, you're doing amazing work lately. Particularly love seeing you so outspoken for trans people.
And I gotta tell you, when I was going through it over on Twitter, Anna Kasparian was a massive bully towards me. Felt attacked at every angle. Ugh. I'm sorry she came after you. She's heinous.
Same here. I was a centrist with left-leaning instincts in 2016, but TYT woke me up and turned me into a progressive... the TYT of then would HATE the TYT of today.
What Rebecca said on stream last night was 💯 the grift was the lefty stuff and they are returning to what they always were. That's Cenk at least but they love being adored and the right is doing it for them. They will flip flop but everyone sees it clearly!
We truly live in the age of the grifter. You know you have a problem when someone critisizes a podcast host you like and you take it personally and have a meltdown.
“Trump is not a fascist, how dare you for saying that he is! You must be thrown in a concentration camp! Sure do wish he was fascist so that I can get my wish of punishing you!”
I stopped watching TYT altogether after they ran cover for Jimmy Dore as long a they did. Barely even talked about universal healthcare after the Force the Vote nonsense. It’s been going downhill for years.
And I think that is the exact reason for this recent convenient change.
I laughed last night when you called her A K Rowling. I think that's gonna take off.
Interesting exercise is to see how many stories they do that no one else covers, not bc they are journalists breaking stories - just they cover non-issues, crime stories from 6 months prior, bc they have an agenda.
Shockingly, their views on the main YT channel have been decreasing since the pivot, although engagement on Twitter is WAY increased (Cenk&Ana’s right wing tweets get 10x the likes as their left leaning ones). They also seem very jealous of Hasan, which makes me think money isn’t a factor 1/2
2/2 They do get invited on a lot of right wing media now (Piers Morgan constantly, various right wing podcasts). I’m not sure how much those shows pay tho. It doesn’t seem to have made a dent in their YT views at all tho.
Twitter engagement is pointless to examine IMO. They will get theie desired attention as long as they tow the conservative line on trans people and crime. Attention is money.

However they are stuck on the 8 kids out of 100,00 that go through years of therapy,hormones, parental consent, and get gender surgery (usually top surgery) https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/

Just incredible, i lost all respect for her after that birthing person shit but she's really just going down the dimmy jore path.
I truly believe theyre trying to make the new Daily Wire
Yeah, they're definitely rushing in to court that right wing crowd.
love ya, mike!

Erm… Umm… That sounds pretty contradictory…

Grifters indeed.
I’m sorry, twitter sucks
Also, I had no idea J KKK Rowling quote tweeted you
