Reporter discovers the hottest cth meme of 2019, writes 2500 words about it

“You have a generation of American men who found themselves incapable of continuing the tradition of engagement, success or whatever that they had been bequeathed,” says Matt Christman, one of the hosts of Chapo Trap House, the podcast leading the way on Hunter-loving-for-leftists. “If you don’t have money, that means you stay in your parents’ basement. If you do, it means you get corrupt fake jobs and do the most crack anyone has ever done. But the basic deficiency, the ill-suitedness for thriving is the same. So that’s where the recognition comes in.”

“Hunter proves the rot is at the heart,” Christman says. He might not mean to, but the president’s son is taking down shibboleths about propriety in Washington, confirming the disaffected leftist worldview that beyond the stump speeches and the glossy magazine profiles, politicians’ families are just as lost as the rest of us, if not more. To his fans, he is the id of American excess. What’s cooler than that?

kind of amazed that Chapo and “the dirtbag left” are still relevant enough to get a politico article in 2023.

Liberals love any excuse to never be introspective about their own failings. Clinton loses the most easily winnable election in American history? Must be the chapo boys. Now everything they do wrong is actually the dirtbag left’s fault.

If chapo didnt exist it would be something else

I dont love him. I just think he is a great representative for the USA as a whole. Like you should keep him around after the revolution and have him roll joints for the masses.

Hunter’s just Peter’s neighbor from Office Space.

Despite describing the Chapo Boys as “irony-poisoned” the author is so stuck in Ted Lasso liberalism that they instantly forget what “irony” is.
