Alex Jones's viewership has shifted from libertarians to a mix of sovereign citizens and white nationalists.
I think he's most emblematic of the Republican Party as it is now. Like, his brand is overtaken by the Fox News and all of that stuff. Because prior to Trump's ascent into a global monstrosity, his brand was cruelty. His brand was whatever it is we can do to hurt the weakest members of our society is what we need to do. And they've overtaken that. So now he's kind of left with this weird conglomeration of sovereign citizens, white nationalists, people who want to say they're not anti-Semitic, yet at the same time are so anti-Semitic. And then, of course, artificially inflated Russian bot views.
