I would say both are true. Kirk had the number 1 youth conservative movement. But, even with that, he isn't as well known as some people think because very few of the youth are engaged in politics. Most of the people I know who know of him are the terminally online YouTube politics watchers. Which is not a large group. I would say the same would be said of whoever the most influential leftist young political thinker is, maybe Hasan. They are big in a circle, but its not really a that big of a circle.

Literally everyone with a voice in politics in controversial, so that's not saying much.

		Some are more controversial than others. Some also seem to enjoy controversy more than others.

		Things are truly twisted when conservatives are being called socialists.

Unfortunately controversial because impressionable people have been misled into believing that anything right of liberal progressivism is fascist and evil. How do you recover from that?

Or perhaps anything left of fascist evil is considered controversial?

We can each play this game.

		Progressives identify as such. “Fascist” is thrown around as an epithet to dehumanize people who you disagree with, to justify murdering them in cold blood or motivating others to do it for you. It’s not really comparable.
