I loathe the term influencer. I hate that the word implies 1) that's their sole purpose, 2) they're actually capable of it, and 3) it paints people who take in their content as sheep looking for influence.

That, and it sounds like none of those apply to her.

Kat is the real deal. And she's married to the owner of The Onion so she's definitely cool too

Apologies for the snark. Misread your reply.

I wasn't fast enough to read the snark, regardless I appreciate the re-evaluation.

Well, fortunately for you, there are plenty of 80 or 90 year old ~~conservatives~~ centrists out there who couldn't care less about influencing that you can go vote for instead.

People are collectively sheep, objectively.

But not you, right? You're different. You don't fall for the stuff those silly other people fall for, they're the sheep, you're a smart wolf above the mere proles?

Utter shite supremacist rhetoric.

I had an experience this weekend with someone quoting Bart Simpson and later purchasing a Butterfinger candy bar that same day..

No one is immune to propaganda.
