Frankly, this whole thing is probably very good for his brand, which is making money by being the center of attention at literally any cost
The fact that anyone is even talking about this shithead again is probably the best thing that’s happened to him in years. it’s almost certainly instantly revitalized his career of being a tremendous piece of shit.
It is rumored that Laura Loomer reported him to ICE out of spite in some cunty bitch fight between the two of them, but she may have actually done him the biggest possible favor ever by providing him exactly what he always wants: victimhood and relevance. The fuel on which his shitty fire burns.
(seriously, no one‘s even heard from this son of a bitch for eight or nine years, and now he’s front and center in the news? Fuck!)
I doubt it will even be a matter of hours until he’s got an entire new YouTube channel and book deal dedicated to this bullshit, just raking in the money
yea, the entire maga brand is all about being vastly superior to every other group in every possible way, while simultaneously being perpetually oppressed and victimized by the very people who are supposedly so inferior to them
it's all mind-bogglingly asinine bullshit. let him stir up the whole planet's gay-but-also-maga acolytes into a frenzy from abroad. go get'em tiger
He probably thought saying he is now "ex-gay" would immunize him from the wingers, too.
You’re right. Ignore all of this nonsense and let him fade into obscurity. His former followers will trash him, because he dared criticize ICE, and thus, dared to criticize The Leader.
We’re in election season for midterms, and the presidential and general elections start the very next day after midterms, so we are effectively in the presidential elections as well - that means we have to stop giving attention to distractions and people who grift from them, like Milo. If they’re not moving the needle on the most important decisions being made in the next two years, it’s a distraction and a grift, just ignore it, put it on hold, or let the experts handle it, especially if there’s literally nothing you can do except amplify a message you have been handed by someone else.
He briefly repudiated prez when it looked like he was toast after 2020, then embarked on a crusade to pull catholics to the right wing, (now known as the devil.)
Edit: I am not sure the repudiation was after 2020 actually, I forget, and don't care. I already know Milo is a piece of fucking shit.
