This doesn’t warrant a mic drop moment, so here’s some text to cushion the blow.

In a certain light these groups could be seen as having a yin-yang dynamic in the sense that both can be characterized as fundamentally lacking talent but one wallows in it and the other sees it as a gimmick.

Questions: Is a dude who smells but generally endeavours to stay out of your way than an ideological fuckboy with clout chasing tendencies? could any of these people have failed become the kind of person who votes for Trump?

    I don’t think the two groups are as separate as you think.

    Sure, there’s a lot of assholes in the Jake/Logan Paul group who were always that kind of asshole

    But I’ve also seen more than a few of them who were neckbeard types who hit the gym and never really did anything to work on their personality.

      Wearing a fedora and m’ladying was their attempt to have a personality. When that went the way you’d predict, they went from, “I like memes, so I’ll be a living meme,” to, “I like shitposts, so I’ll be a living shitpost.”
