- mizzao 2y agoEric Adams, for one.
- Apocryphon 2y agoRussell Brand
- notahacker 2y agoOddly enough, Russell's political transformation came long before the world's least surprising revelations, probably because he'd got to the point of his "revolution" where the left considered him tiresome and the pandemic was a reboot opportunity. Elon is the starkest example of "journalist contacts him about historic allegations that were never going to amount to anything other than embarrassment and within a couple of hours he's come out as a Republican and therefore rendered himself immune to shame over personal indiscretions of the sort only Teh Wokes care about". Again, trending that way because he was genuinely annoyed at pandemic regulations and not a fan of Teh Wokes but interesting to see how far he's taken it...
- evan_ 2y agoBlagojevich
- misiti3780 2y agohe was setup though.
- wasimanitoba 2y agoHe was hilariously brazen in his attempt to sell a Senate seat. His attempt to claim it was all a conspiracy against him was even more hilarious.
- bdangubic 2y agoTrump
- gengwyn 2y agoHe was always right-wing coded so not really a switch, but Andrew and Tristan Tate are two huge ones that did the grift and it's played out for them.
