      Not knowing who Benny Johnson is, I genuinely was reading this as the debunking-Noem left wing post. It’s amazing there is an audience who sees that and thinks a guy in a chicken costume justifies calling in the National Guard to wage war on our neighbors.

      But then, the enemy is simultaneously too weak and an object of derision (chicken costume guy), and too strong and a reason to suspend laws (12 terrifying people in casual clothes, most of them apparently press).

        They do experience schadenfreude, however. Just don’t tell them that. They don’t know what the word means and it will confuse and anger them. (edit: corrected typo)

        Benny Johnson is a serious prolific MAGA influencer that has been invited out by the administration to cover Alligator Auschwitz in Florida. Benny’s podcast was also why Jimmy Kimmel’s show got suspended - a member of this Republican administration made a veiled threat about Kimmel on Benny’s podcast and that is why Disney took the show down.
