May I ask — with respect — why you followed AJ?  I have wondered for years, what am I missing here?  I could not tolerate even 5 min of his ranting.  I am no neuro-linguistics expert, but I have read and tried to learn about how hucksters and cons use skillful verbal tactics to snare vics (thank you sensei, Scott Adams and Donald Trump, for teaching me).  I am not sure whether AJ is using such for his f*ckery, but I find his voice, his meandering invective, his phrases, all are the worst kind of nails on a blackboard.  I have long been curious what is it about him that causes anyone to tune in?  Did he start out differently and entrap everyone like frogs in his boiling pot?  Is there a sub-rosa message buried in what he says that excites people’s reptilian brain responses?  Is it brainwashing like playing Beatles backwards?  WHY does anyone listen to him, and how can they stand it???
