There's a whole class of "professional conservatives" who seek to grift by selling books, or hosting radio or TV talk shows.
You can tell the grifters from the serious thinkers. The grifters merely parrot basic talking points: gun control bad, liberals bad, abortion bad, liberals hate America, taxes bad, America #1, military great, thank you for your service!
But they're incapable of deep, nuanced analysis. Their "analysis" is very narrow. And as the culture moves leftward, so do they. Hence, Conservative, Inc. opposed gay marriage in the 1990s, but supports it today.
The role of Conservative Inc. is to channel right-wing discontent into a safe direction (the Republican wing of the globalist agenda), and away from populism, nationalism, or hardcore traditionalism.
For him, it is a huge paycheck that’s it (well except thstnhe gets to stroke his own ego every night, which he seems to relish doing)
I’m sure ehe has good,qualities, but his narcissism kinda shouts for,attention too
He has an army of worker bees that do,all,the heavy .ifting for him (as do most talk show hosts) like researching, running down leads, interviewing etc. All he has to,do,is read the teleprompter every night. “His” opening monologues might even be written by other people too. I seriously doubt that he is out there doing the research himself. Maybe he does, but I have my doubts
