So they are now setting the content on infowars.com? Honestly, I can't tell since everything on that site looks so fake it isn't believable. The onion transition may be hard to detect.

Seems like there will be a new logo with an onion on it, judging from the tote bag merch shown in the article. That's when we'll know, I suppose.

  Assuming that the announcement video Ben Collins posted represents the new logo, it's a delightfully pride rainbow-colored InfoWars logo with an onion in place of the 'o'. https://bsky.app/profile/bencollins.bsky.social/post/3mjwx7iv5kk2m https://bsky.app/profile/bencollins.bsky.social/post/3mjwx7i...

I visited with my family in rural Missouri recently. Alex Jones and InfoWars is gospel to them. I was amazed at how many times cited him as an authority on various topics. I thought they were joking, but apparently, Obama made a promise with his father before his passing that he would destroy the United States. Oh, and of course, Obama is Satan, and Trump was sent by God to protect us all. Of course.

    It’s the weather, right? Not a big fan of west coast politics compared to back home but I’ll tolerate it in exchange for the sun :)

      The winters ain't bad either.

  As of even more recently, Jones believes Trump is under demonic influences.

    Maybe that explains the video Trump posted

  It's your duty as a Hacker News to subtly introduce the Free Software Foundation and/or GNU into a conversation with them. When they ask about it, throw a bunch of breathless praise on Stallman hacking the laser printer, building an OS from scratch, predicting DRM, fighting against cellphone surveillance, etc. Tell them you'll send them a link. Then link them to the Alex Jones interview with Richard Stallman. (It's a pretty good interview, btw.) It's like hiding broccoli in a chocolate bar they were going to eat anyway.
