    Paul Krugman Retweeted Will  🦥 Menaker

    A remarkable number of the most prominent purveyors of right-wing snake oil, from Alex Jones on down, make their money by hawking actual snake oil, i.e., supposedly magical dietary supplements.https://twitter.com/willmenaker/status/1031585883236036613 …

    Will  🦥 Menaker @willmenaker
    The guy who is regularly touted as a "leading intellectual" figure on the right also openly hawks sawdust and caffeine based brain pills. If you're a conservative or "classical liberal" it means there is no friction when your brain glides over this fact like a maglev train pic.twitter.com/wNIncul4gK

        Sawdust for brains takes sawdust supplements. There's consistency there.

        Huckabee [used to, and may still] hawk cinnamon-based "biblical" diabetes and cancer pills -- which, given the conditions involved, is truly terrible.

        It is important to call them what they are: polemicists. Not "thinkers," not "intellectuals" but polemicists who always arrive at the same conclusions and are focused on winning over being correct. That happens on the left, too, to be clear, but the confusion is not as bad.

        Chapo Trap House don’t sell brain pills, though there’s no word on whether they’d shift units if they did

        Once they realize they can gain loyal, gullible followers by spewing their one-sided bs, they just expand into other easy-money schemes to take advantage of those who trust them. It’s disgusting.
