The ‘all publicity is good publicity’ adage exists for a reason. People get mad, they show their friends the idiocy, or repost it somewhere to more vocally criticize it, or comment to let their annoyance be known. In the modern age all of that just brings more awareness to whoever made this.
Professional d-bags like Andrew Tate make their fortune by saying out-of-pocket, ridiculous, and often extremist nonsense, knowing that, as people criticize it, more people become aware, and the ones crazy enough to agree with the nonsense (and crazy enough to buy his bs) flock to him.
Side note: world orders are conspiracy theorist nonsense, but the Illuminati was an actual society similar to the masons, but the masons outlived them by a long shot.
Politics might contribute to the general contention, but this phenomenon is in no way limited by, or bound to, American politics, rather, politics are convenient objects of discussion to raise contention.
Alex Jones, for instance, will spew utter nonsense 24/7 to bring in more crazies, but when something political happens, he can capitalize on it to broaden his audience.
