In reply to the discussion: Something Tells Me Kyle Rittenhouse Will NOT Live Happily Ever After [View all]Takket
(23,547 posts)10. i don't think so either.
we are all appalled seeing bozos like Gaetz offer him an internship, but the reality is white supremacists and the gop and people like Gaetz don't give a flying fuck about Rittenhouse, but they do see the potential for power and profit that come from attaching themselves to his right-wing-base celebrity. Rittenhouse is now a commodity to be consumed, and he'll have the world at his fingertips right up until when his usefulness is exhausted. they they will dump him into the dustbin of history and Rittenhouse will find himself in his mid to late 20s with no fucking clue how to put an actual life together.
Real life example: George Zimmerman.
