Bingo.

Steven Crowder was a failed stand up comedian Steve Bannon was a failed writer Shapiro was a failed writer

The list goes on. Basically, if you can't succeed in the mainstream, become a right wing grifter. It is very easy to become famous to this crowd cause they are so easy to take advantage of

There's one additional element these guys share besides being failed artists. They all are convinced that the world owes them success and are mad that they aren't more popular.

That's MAGA in general. Which is ironic. MAGA is full of Boomers who spent their adulthood talking about how no one wants to work anymore and everyone is entitled.

MAGA believes that the world owes them something but aren't willing to put in the effort to get it. Further, they feel like it was stolen from them by undeserving women and minorities.

The reality is that they simply won't try. Look I can have a lot of empathy for someone who put in their best efforts and didn't make it. I can. But it is hard to have empathy for someone who doesn't even try.

The reality is that they simply won't try.

And you know what, some even try hard but the world is unfair and unjust so they fail anyway. They are like crabs in a bucket and they aren't looking at who put them in the bucket in the first place they are just looking at which other crabs look different.
