I read Voltaire and Diogenes and Petronius and the other great trolls, and decided to become the world’s greatest troll. Not everyone will understand this motivation, and perhaps I don’t understand it. But I succeeded. This is pretty on the nose.https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/31/trolls-for-trump …

I never wanted good press! Or any press at all. But I learned that if you want good press as a conservative, you can’t hit the left hard. You won’t get on TV. You won’t get NY Times op-Eds. That’s why the left is winning. The right plays by the left’s rules.

The media coverage of me is objectively dishonest. Have I trolled? Sure. They remind us of this. But they never mention my mindset book, which sold over 100,000 copies. That’s how The Game works. If you’re effective, they define you by a low point. Forever.

Ben Shapiro has tweeted stuff as bad or worse than I have. But that gets buried, because he plays nice. He defends James Gunn while attacking Roseanne (pro-Trump). Shapiro does good work, not hating. But facts don’t care about your feelings.

By any objective measure, NO ONE on the right in the past 2 years have broken the stories I have - Susan Rice unmasking - Security clearance slow walking + Trump’s dysfunctional personnel - John Conyers A member of Congress resigned cuz of me. How often is that mentioned?

@jeffgiesea I threw the biggest Inauguration event. People new here (the people who call me fake MAGA as if that stings) don’t even know this. Because the media doesn’t honestly cover me.https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/2017-trump-inauguration-deploraball-protest-233890 …Show this thread -
And all of the above is a reason why I moved on from Trump. He did not keep his campaign promises. I get to say this because I was - by an objective measure - instrumental in getting votes. And when MAGA people yell, I don’t care. This was a small part of my life.

As a perennial outsider, I see the world differently. I never sought donor dollars. Bullshit like "FINISH THE WALL" doesn't impress me, and there are no structural biases built in to make me pretend to believe it.

Not ONE person was hired from Great Again dot Gov. I broke these stories almost two years ago. Now everyone talks about the lack of Trump loyalists in the White House. No shit. His actual supporters were frozen out. That's on T.

100% true about conservatives. Bill Kristol is in heaven right now because he's getting the approval he always wanted from the left. In turn, he sold out all his readers, and his magazine folded, but to him, still worth it for the approval of the left.

After all, Ben wouldn't want to jeopardize becoming the conservative host on CNN's inevitable pivot to a "balanced" lineup.

The problem with softening your punches like that is it eats your soul. Your heart of hearts can't forget who your master is.

Shapiro is not too bad. Just that he follows the victim heirarchy. Roseannes so called offence is higher on the emotive heirarchy than Gunns...
