The Martyr Made Podcast ” is the top-ranked show on iTunes .

It's the “look what you made me do” defense, but about a baseless fraud that continues to rip the country apart.

It all started with a long Twitter thread back in July 2021 , in which Cooper credited “discussions w/enough Boomer -tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent”.

Cooper’s Nazi revisionism was the bridge too far for a lot of right-wingers who might have been previously inclined to credulously boost his message.

This kind of reflexive contrarianism can be seen among other MAGA-friendly podcasters with huge platforms.

People like Cooper , through their deranged brand of anti-establishment” activism, are already helping lay the groundwork for another Big Lie .
