    It will be interesting to see how he goes.

    I have found that, nowadays if media exposure gets taken away, a lot of people tend to chill out and drift more left leaning. Right leaning thinking for many tends to require constant nudging to keep people in that camp. So being isolated from that feed might do him some good. It will at least do the world some good.

    I’m not saying, “take away the media and all is well” but there is a section of society that is heavily swayed by it.

      It does sound, though, like you’re saying “take away the propaganda channels and the right will dry up and blow away.”

      That might be true. Nice if so.

      a lot of people aren’t rapists either, regardless of media exposure

        Very true. I don’t expect that drive in him to change much beyond any kind of self introspection. But maybe his divisive rhetoric changes. Or he just become vindictive and it just gets much worse.

        Honestly, I am just sick of talking about Brand. He is a odd manipulative sex pest goblin, goodbye to him.
