I watched Matt Walsh's "Am I Racist?", Dinesh D'Souza's "Vindicating Trump", and the Daily Wire's "Identity Crisis". These were some of the weakest docs I had watched in some time.
One common theme I touch on lightly in the video is how these movies so aggressively use imagination to sell their message. I think it speaks to the fear I see conservatives express over things that don't seem to exist in the world. Or at least aren't nearly as dangerous as they pretend they are.
If you are a streamer reacting to this video, please wait at least one week after its upload date, but if you're just using short clips, you can play those right away. Also, please provide a link or some other means of directing people back to this channel. Thanks!
