    I wouldn’t consider it a sus association so much as it was just the zeitgeist of 2020. He was the only notable gonzo journalist covering the gatherings the left was interested in but wouldn’t attend ourselves. It’s an ecological niche that still hasn’t been filled well and the podcasts that featured him still don’t do street interviews for the most part.
