Checked in on VICE News’ pivot to being absolutely fucking unhinged. It’s like when you creep an ex and are surprisingly sad at how poorly they’re doing

Not saying some of the Vice personalities haven’t made the pivot but this is misleading cuz most of the top 6-8 videos are clips of when Shane interviewed Destiny who’s not even remotely a right winger. All of those videos are of Destiny shitting all over conservatives and their nutty bullshit.
I spent two minutes listening to this and the entire time it sounds like Shane is going to pop a blood vessel as he strains to come up with iterations of "vaccine hurt? you hurt? vaccine hurt YOU?"
I think Democrats must pay attention to that pipeline. This is a big issue for working-class white male Trump voters. Democrats have done next to nothing to address the system of divorce. Maybe they should consider it. Me: never married, no kids.
I think part of it is some men yearning for a return to traditional gender roles, which the govt. can’t do much about. Though they can make single households more feasible. A divorce isn’t just a personal issue, it’s also an economic one. Many can’t get by on one income, divorced or not.
If both partners were working, a divorce means that household income is cut in about half, while expenses increase. Both now need to pay for their own rent, food, etc. plus the kids’.
Even before Vice just gave sensational coverage that was devoid of substance. Like a five minute tour of dangerous places can have any explanation of the community.
They pivoted to unhinged when they fired Gavin McInnes and hired a bunch of gender studies graduates. After that happened it became impossible to convince people that Vice was once cool.
