Internet trolls are real people, and all too often they fall into their toxic rhetoric by starting to believe their own “jokes”.

    How 4Chan Took Over the Republican Party with Elle Reeve
    
    Episode · Factually! with Adam Conover · Here's a harsh truth: the internet is real life. The toxic mix of misogyny, racism, and anti-democratic sentiment that has been festering online for years has now blatantly spilled over into the rhetoric of Republican politics. But how did the online right-wing become so extreme and unhinged? To explore this question, Adam sits down with journalist Elle Reeve, author of Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics. Together, they discuss how incels, mass shooters, and white nationalists found fertile ground to grow on the internet, and how their influence has seeped into the broader political landscape.

  @adamconover there was a video several years back of some young teens that showed up to a rally in the uniform. Of khaki and white polo, and counterprotesters were handling things. The 2 kids got isolated and immediately tore their shirts off. They were panicked, shouting that they don't believe any of this and it was just for fun and engines.
  Things like Charlottesville are tfunnythough
