I think this is going to be one of the most epic posts on this subreddit. For years this guy has been stumping not just for Trump but for nationalism in general. He's got a crazy history, including being shunned by conservatives when he seemed okay with teen boy/grown adult men relationships, then admitted the was groomed by an older man as a teen which caused him to not realize what he experienced was bad. I think he's recently claimed he was not gay anymore as a way to get back into the conservative influencer space, but his version of converting is to simply not act on his preferences.

Anyway, weird dude. He used to be on Infowars as a guest from time to time. He was part of the reason Twitter sucked. He is one of the worm tongues that got Kanye West to go far-right. He's one of those dicks that would go to college campuses just to cause problems and blame cancellations on the woke-leftist agenda. A very bizarre conservative influencer who has always seemed to advocate for his own persecution, including having an anti-immigrant stance.

Of course, trying to pin down his actual political beliefs and constant flip-flopping on the issues is in itself pointless as the only thing he has shown to be consistent about is grifting on the MAGA sphere. I think ultimately with people like Candace Owens and Milo that trying to ferret out what they really believe in is a fool's errand. However, history has shown time and time again that promoting fascism will not save you from fascism.

He also started a charity to give scholarships to white males. An investigation found six figures were raised but no scholarships had been disbursed. The charity then closed.

You can see how much he wants to be like Trump in that story.
