18,000 New Chapters Apply Overnight After Erika Kirk's Speech

Bigotry sells in Shinyland. Rush figured that out. Fox Noise figured that out. Did Kirk figure that out too? I have held for years that Trump's dalliance with the "birthers" was market research, to see if an openly bigoted campaign could gain traction.

I wonder how many people watched "All In The Family", because they thought it was about some victimized conservative, beset by leftists? Did they ever realize Archie was portrayed by a liberal, putting on an act, for money? I remember seeing the ads for the show, thought it might be worth a look. Turned on the premier episode. Listened to Archie's bellowing for ten minutes, maybe less, said "this isn't funny, it's offensive", turned it off, and never looked at it again.

Are people today, lionizing "leaders" that are nothing but cynical opportunists, pushing their bigot buttons, to take their money?
