We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Do you have a source for this?

As far as I can tell, Trump is popular among a range of social classes but also captured the college-educated conservative vote.
That's been the case ever since Milo's "Feminism is Cancer" tour.
Milo is one seriously vile man but his tour was brilliant and served as one of the main catalysts for blowing up the campus narrative about the left being tolerant and peaceful. Everyone else followed his lead. Shapiro, Kirk, Owens...All road Milo's coattails to fame. But really, it was all Steve Bannon. He produced that whole tour. Pure brilliance.
Also, Milo's probably an intel asset.

Milo is hysterical but he did write one of my favorite editorials:
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2015/04/20/tax-the-poor-the-moral-and-economic-case-for-regressive-taxation/
I can promise you he very likely didn't write a word of that, or anything else penned under his name at Breitbart. For that you probably want to thank Allum Bokhari.

Quite possibly true; I have enjoyed Mr Bokhari's writings on other topics so that would fit.
Milo was a brilliant performer with only one real act. He became a reductive version of himself after the F.I.C. tour. As far as writing goes, he could best be described as a lazy dysfunctional drug addict and fame whore who crashed out owing numerous people outstanding debts, allegedly.

@truthbait @amerika @glimse I used to like him back in the day. He was a major reason why I ended up on the #Fediverse.
@realcaseyrollins @truthbait @glimse
I saw him somewhere in Texas. It was a good speech, very dramatic, but also kind of compassionate. He's talented whether just a presenter or a writer. He handled the Q&A well, but maybe the questioners were plants.
"maybe the questioners were plants"
They wouldn't need to be. Like I said, Milo is a brilliant performer/orator. Spoken word is his strong suit. Written word is his weak link.

> Spoken word is is strong suit.
It was until he fell too hard in his drugs and pretended to be straight for a grift to get a job at some #Catholic network or something. Now nothing is his strong suit.
Keep your mind open to the possibility that he was never gay and was always straight.
The best part of that is the potential absurdity of two straight men, Gavin McGinnis and Milo, making out on camera at a publicity stunt in reaction to the Pulse Night Club massacre.
