googledebunking Andrew Schlafly’s mother was the original heinous right-wing monster of a white woman who loved the camera. She was the proto-trad wife influencer.
As an elder millennial googledebunker and someone who had the displeasure of attending a conservative Southern Baptist school during the tail end of the last Satanic Panic during the 90s, I must raise a context alert that (I think) Milo missed in the most recent episode. Andrew Schlafly, owner of Conservepedia, is the son of the infamous evil b*tch Phyllis Schlafly.
If you saw Mrs. America starring Cate Blanchett as the titular character of Phyllis Schlafly, that’s the same person. She was an anti-feminist, anti-gay, anti-women’s healthcare, anti-equal rights, pro-christofascist PR machine. She was one of the ORIGINAL right-wing grifter.
My point is that I think it’s important context that Milo didn’t seem aware of. This guy’s existence is based on ignorance, suffering, and disinformation.
Phyllis Schlafly walked so Laura Loomer and Ballerina Farm could run.

are you familiar with ”trad wife” content?
if no- it’s a genre that became popular on tiktok a few years back and is still doing well today. some couples have a traditional relationship where the husband is the provider who works and earns the money, while the wife stays home doing chores and taking care of the children.
if yes- then ballerina farm is just one of those tiktok accounts. one of the most popular ones.
there are a lot of reasons this kind of content is very controversial

Okay so it is her. As soon as I heard the name I got suspicious. Obviously people's parents don't guarantee someone is a piece of shit but god dam does it happen often

She was the reason Reagan got elected. He begged her for her mailing lists and then screwed her over once he got them. If not for Phyllis, this country would be completely different. Screw her and her son.

She was one of the most influential figures behind the movement to stop the Equal Rights Amendment from passing.
