When I started following his threads there was about 7,000 subscribers and now there are over 125,000 subscribers so he is reaching and developing his audience. Besides the rally in South Dakota, Luke has shown up to Waco, Miami, and South Carolina. He also was at rallies that he has covered for David Pakman and he is also helping other bloggers with their outreach (re: Pondering Politics blog).

He occasionally makes an error and isn't very knowledgeable about politics prior to 2000, but that knowledge will develop over time. He does appear successful enough that he is able to make a full-time job out of it.

I thought he was about 25 years old. When I started watching his hair was extremely long and he had more blonde in his hair. Two haircuts later to look more professional helped him out and most likely helped him get near the MAGA rallies without being beat up.

young for his age, too.. which isn't that old.. not from where I'm standing.'

he looks tall but it's hard to say for sure.

Be Safe Beasley!

I went to another page that has a photo and it says that he released a song back in 2020 when he was 18. That would make him 21 or 22 years old. That is also consistent with the information that I saw in earlier episodes where it was mentioned that he was a musical performer.

Here is his Spotify page:
https://open.spotify.com/artist/0c20uQ6jvCxpLmRCIG0YiU

As far as height is concerned, I think that is about 5'9" or 5'10". His hair was also much longer when I started watching him than in the photo on his Spotify account.

He might feel that it is for "old people." I gave up on Twitter when Elon bought it and haven't logged into my account since then. I have a Facebook page so that I can connect with my college buddies, but otherwise I don't use social media.

He does have a Tik Tok account though where he might be more active. That app seems more popular with the people around Luke's age.

I am wildly impressed that he has the nerve to go among the troglodytes like this. It looks really scary to me, so I have a ton of respect for his courage.

However (she said, changing the subject abruptly), I am concerned about something else. I tried to go to his website, http://lukebeasley.com/, which he mentions at the end, and got the following weird message (I tried to do a screen cap, but my tablet wasn't cooperating):

GoDaddy
The domain lukebeasley.com is registered, but may still be available. It’s parked free, courtesy of GoDaddy.com

Now I'm worried that his website has been hacked or something. Wtaf?
