Ashley St Clair was a conservative, MAGA influencer who got her start at age 17. She was funneled through the alt-right incubator, spewing hatred across the internet (transphobic, racist, nationalist rhetoric) until she finally had her second baby with Elon Musk. After exposure to him and witnessing his increasing radicalization and harm (after after he turned on HER), she left the movement and has become a prominent voice against the Right and the tactics that MAGA uses. The question of the day is... is it real? Or is she just "grifting to the left" purely out of self-interest?

#conservatives #grifting #transgender #ashleystclair #maga #debates
Laura PASSIONATELY defends the "she's definitely a grifter" perspective while Chloe takes the "she's not perfect but I think she IS learning" side. We debate long and hard about the correct way to be a good ally, what she SHOULD be doing, and the evidence both for and against her shift to the left being genuine or not. Regardless, the facts about her checkered past remain: she was a conservative, MAGA influencer who rose to popularity incredibly quickly & was funneled through the alt-right incubator, working with Turning Point USA, the Babylon Bee, and other right-wing organizations specifically designed to spew hatred across the internet (transphobic, racist, & nationalist rhetoric). Once she had her second baby with Elon Musk and broke a deal by announcing publicly that the baby was his (because he notoriously likes to keep his private philandering lifestyle incredibly secretive), he turned against her and weaponized his base to levy incredible hatred at her. She finally broke ranks and switched sides, speaking out against big tech, billionaires, and the entire MAGA ideology, explaining that by doing some reading and learning, she was able to see the error in her ways. The question still remains... is any of it REAL??
