    An older relative is here for the holidays and was watching some YouTube yesterday. Somehow, there exists a 30 minute which talked all about what a genius Trump was and how he doesn’t like electric vehicles. Just this endless stream of “Donald Trump visionary policies on…” and his brilliant predictions that were all true. No details, references, or a critical thought about how Trump probably doesn’t know that there’s anything inside the parts of the car he can’t see.

    Edit - what I am trying to point out is that this goes way beyond traditional news outlets. I don’t think this guy watches a lot of news. I do think he considers himself well informed. We are Canadian, BTW. He’s into cars (and an incredible mechanic as well as being a generally good person I enjoy spending time with) so this is on his feed.

      Which aspect of cars is he into and which Youtube channels does he watch? I’m curious if there are any particular channels that have led him down the “pewdiepipeline” and what differences there might be between my feed and his that have spared me from any overt exposure to the same garbage.
