The Alt-Right Has Lost Control of Redpill
A classic meme about being radicalized is now so absurd that it means almost nothing at all.
INSERT: The terms "red pill" and "blue pill" refer to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth, by taking the red pill, or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill. The terms refer to a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix. Wikipedia

Finchem, R-Oro Valley, appeared on RedPill78 hosted by Zak Paine on Saturday, and the two men spent two hours discussing the audit and election fraud allegations.
Finchem has long asserted that the goal of the audit is to not find fraud but restore integrity in Arizona’s election. However, during the interview he said he hopes that the outcome will result in Arizona’s electoral votes being awarded to Trump, though President Joe Biden won the state by 10,457 votes. Congress certified the final results of the Electoral College in January.
Trump himself has claimed that the audit will uncover massive fraud showing that he actually won Arizona, and that the revelation will open the door to similar discoveries in other states that he lost to Biden in November.
The interview also touched on a number of conspiracy theories popular among those in the far-right, including conspiracy theories about George Soros, misinformation about an audit in Antrim County, Mich., and continually debunked claims of over registered voters.
During a Q&A session, a caller claimed that the government had been corrupted and that the drug cartels are also involved in election fraud and Finchem began to interject.
“I think the question you’re asking is whether we are living through a slow motion coup,” Finchem said. He went on to claim that he felt former President Barack Obama was connected to the “Chicago crime syndicate” and that the Biden administration is connected to the Chinese government.
RedPill78 has been spreading conspiracy theories around the Arizona audit effort, falsely claiming that an aircraft owned by the Phoenix Police Department was surveilling audit workers and using electronic surveillance to do so. Paine also alleged that the aircraft may have belonged to the FBI or U.S. Department of Justice
“They’re (the media) creating conspiracy theories about bamboo paper,” Finchem said.
The conspiracy theory of bamboo ballots began in December with Jovan Pulitzer, an inventor and treasure hunter who claimed that China uses bamboo to make paper and that fraudulent ballots could be detected by looking for the fibers. No counterfeit ballots have been found in any United States election, and there’s no indication that such a thing happened anywhere in the country. . .
