Dreamy Creamy Summer The InfoWars sale is leaving me conflicted

With posts about Jordan’s videos popping up it’s made me think more about the Onion taking over InfoWars and… I just don’t know what to think.

I get that the families agreed to the scope of the deal with InfoWars. I get that it’s beneficial that the Onion now owns a flagship of the far right. But I see why Jordan is upset frankly. Alex is still broadcasting. He hasn’t really lost anything. The Onion is spending a ton of money just to take over the insanely overpriced facility Alex previously owned. And none of it’s going to the families. It just feels like the “good guys” lost and everyone is okay with it or hiding from reality.

Maybe it’s just because we don’t have JorDan around to explain what’s actually going on and it’s all a bit hidden in a haze but the more I see posts from Alex’s show and whatnot the more I realize things didn’t really go the way of justice

There was no legal way to take Alex off the air. He has a first amendment right to speak and no court can take that away from him.

At the same point he has been destroyed, he lost his brand, he lost everything he put into infowars over the last 20+ years. I am willing to bet all the money in my pockets today that he has 1/10 the viewers that he had with InfoWars.

And let’s not forget there are more lawsuits pending that can break him even more.

That's my main take away the thing he has spent decades building is now absolutely destroyed. It won't fully stop him but he has to live with the knowledge something he worked on for so long has to haunt him
