He's literally just an ambulance chaser. Him, Meidas Touch, Majority report. It's all just entertainment masquerading as political commentary that makes money from your continued attention and scrounging for tips. He's not going to help you, Rachel Maddow is not your friend. It's just there to distract, pacify and give you a place to vent. So you can feel like there are people out there who get it and care about you. It's just a place to collectively blow off your frustrations, so you never actually get mad enough to do anything. They're the left equivalent of Charlie Kirk. Just all grifters.
Edit: I am sorry if it hurts your feelings. It's hard to find out that the parasocial relationship you develop with "influencers" is not real and the opinions they espouse not totally genuine. Or, did you think that these millionaire pundits who rose to fame during the last election cycle and are operating for profit businesses based on the sensationalism of how "ABC SLAMMED XYZ" were an actual form of resistance and not just a merch store paraphrasing CNN articles before shilling for Ground News?
My feelings aren't hurt. ?
its called Resistance grifters, jojo, robert reich and the people that were on twitter the same thing. mirror image of the russian backed right wing grifters, except right wing ones use more misinformation and disinformation, instad of making a headline of "someone did X this, or that"
basically its pretending to criticizing to gain more support while not engaging in resolution conservation or encouraging any movement(its always shocking this shocking that, or trump did this astounding thing),. i learned the term on reddit posts, resistance grifting is what your describing.
ambulance chasing is a little different, its lawyers waiting a crash site was the original idea, looking to get the services of the victim, basically vultures. all those billboards of lawyers for injuries, those are all ambulance tracer, "saul" is considered one, you know they are extremely scummy by the way they smile on those billboards.
