I really don't think there's content out there for this. I would LOVE to be surprised though. If true, you know what that means: we all need to start making content. The stuff writes itself - think about how hypocritical and contradictory the UFC is in its everyday activities.

It's like the double whammy of bullshit conservative spin and HORRIBLE corporate practices wrapped with a bow of violence. Looking at it from the left is literally like watching a train wreck.

Good for you that you can put yourself out there. I'm happy for you.

As for Rage Against the Machine in the presence of conservatives, well, that's just such a classic "bruh" moment for me. Where I grew up, we listened to a lot of hip hop despite being majority white and suburban, and it was always wild to me to hear acquaintances rapping along to socially-conscious stuff and then following it up with a conversation about how black people suck. It's like, ayo, you literally just criticized yourself and don't even realize it.

When you put it like this, this reminds me a lot of how conservatives handle dating apps. They literally have to hide their political affiliations to have a shot in cities.

With left-leaning fighters/fans, you have to basically hide your political affiliation in a similar manner in order to truly engage with the community as a whole. Fascinating. Edit: We need to go undercover. >_>

There are dozens of us!

In all seriousness, when I started making videos about this, I noticed a LOT more people receptive to it than I realized. It made me realize that there were entire communities out there for this. On reddit, it was MMAPoliticsAndCulture that was mostly left-leaning. Here, it's us.

The reality is that sure, it's a majority conservative. But not by a ton. The dems/libs/leftists are just quiet because who the hell wants to talk to conservatives when you're trying to enjoy a sport?
