I am finding that #scoopz is about a 30/70 split on #maga folks and more liberal people.

Most people have my side. There is still a significant following who do not really pay attention to news, and just blindly regurgitate everything #trump says, which is my main goal with these videos - to make them say stupid stuff, and turn people against them.

None of them realize #canada is fighting and still think it'll be the 51st state.
