You say that like he wasnt just like every other conservative loser. American media in general is dangerous propaganda and cult thinking. He wasnt special. Cringe fits just fine.

He definitely was successful in brainwashing people. I don't want to minimize dangerous people like him

He didnt brainwash people on his own. They were primed by regular ol american propaganda. He wouldve been totally ineffective without the rest of american culture being the way it is.
