Honestly, this is probably one of the best examinations of what's been going on with the MAGA/Conservative side of things in the last week. Your analysis is one reason why I call myself a Ronin, someone who walks alone on this battlefield.
I've noticed that many of the supposed MAGA influencers, including ones we knew, have seemingly been flipped on like a switch. They've been activated by this Epstein stuff, and it's affected a lot of people because of just how base everything is. The constant ramping up of calling everything or everyone pedophilic has led to a fever similar to that of the Satanic Panic of the early 1980s (leading up to things like the PMRC, etc). It has clouded a lot of people's minds. Thankfully, I saw it for what it was early on, and figured that a lot of the furor would die down due to the malign influencers failing. Though, unfortunately, they keep on pushing it (and I will name names: Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, anyone largely associated with Tenet Media, among others.)
It's made me take a further step back and regard how much influence I get on a day to day basis, and even how much influence is pushed upon folks of faith. It's one of the reasons I had to take a break from the recent churches I had been attending: misinformation and faulty considerations (including some folk who would be on the same philosophical persuasion of John MacArthur, who I am not a fan of myself.)
Overall, though, this Epstein thing has really made me look at who is out there and what they're portraying, and I've noticed that about 80% of the "new media" influencers are full o' bull. This is including some that I followed pretty heavily in the previous year to two years. It's also refined me to find the people and stick with the people who make more sense and are either calm, or are more realistic in their mindsets.
As a closing, a thank you for what you do. I hope at some point in life, our paths will cross and we can share a whiskey, and laugh about all the yahoos that have tried to master us... while we master ourselves.
thanks, kyle. speaking for myself i am going through information warfare overload. everyone has a theory or opinion and each one seems crazier and crazier. your take quieted my mind. i appreciate that.

Be the Rabbit and not the Dog. Lead like the rabbit and don’t follow like a dog with a knee jerk reaction. 👀
