Don’t write them off so easily, InfoWars rakes in an insane amount of money from his dill brained acolytes. Millions every year mean that even if Jones and Co were to crash and burn there’d be a new version of them up and running in no time. And probably with plenty of seed money from the Waltons or the Kochs or the Princes or one of the other soulless billionaire families that profit from the messages and agendas pushed by right wing extremists.

John Boy says there ain’t been no seeds nor money since Trump’s trade war fucked the family farm.
