5. I think he is a blatant misogynist but throws in just enough TED TALK-like talking points to sound rational

and manages to fool his audience into thinking "how reasoned" he is. I see he has fooled a lot here as well as he repeats his defense of incels while pointing the blame for increasing suicide rates among young white males (ignoring the increase in suicide rates among other demographics, especially the elderly of both genders) directly on Democrats and Democratic policies/attitudes.

I saw his Deadline Whitehouse interview and realize why some are taken in. But, perhaps, think why you would want to laud someone who is agreeing with RW talking points while blaming Democrats (i.e., you and I) for all the problems.

Just enough rational comments thrown in to fool people, as any good author should do to sell his books-- and he DOES.

BULLSHIT.
