Hasan Piker on how Trump seized online cultureUpdate: 2024-11-13
Description
For decades, conservatives worried about losing the fight for cultural relevancy.
During his campaign, Donald Trump aggressively courted Gen Z and young millennial men — appearing on podcasts, streams and alongside influencers, discussing everything from combat sports to cocaine use. A PR campaign which many have credited, in part, for his election victory.
Hasan Piker is a rare political streamer on the American left; on election day, his coverage garnered 7.5 million views overall. He joins the show for a discussion about why many young men have drifted rightward, and he addresses what that appeal is fundamentally about.

I'm appalled you could say Poilivere isn't the same as trump. they are both products of the IDU that harper runs. they both dislike Trans ppl (many other similarities with groups of ppl) Mike Roman (up on Rico charges with Guiliani) worked on both campaigns. they are BOTH in bed with foreign governments. I always knew you were bias but this stmt is ridiculous imo.
