That's not what a grifter is. A grifter is generally someone who lies/manipulates people for their benefit - generally profiting off of people's outrage.  

I've seen people believe that Candace Owens is a political grifter, because she doesn't actually believe a lot of what she's saying. She's just saying it for the money/attention. 
Sometimes it's hard to tell if they believe a lot of the nonsense they're saying.

All in all, they stand up for things like dignity (through good behavior), courtesy, and not getting yourself arrested.  Qualities such as this are not a bad thing in today's society, which is sliding towards lawlessness.  

It's sliding towards lawlessness in large part because of people like Trump that the hodgetwins support.  

If you actually care about dignity, courtesy, you have to be able to call out other conservatives, not just liberals when they're being bad. 

I was being sarcastic about the grift.  Their channel is clearly an entertainment and doesn't claim to be anything more.  For someone to call it grift is beyond me.  Who could they be stealing from?  Are they diverting money, power, or resources away from people that need such things?  

I agree that both sides need to be chastised but if you follow my threads, including the Trump Thread, then you'll see how I mock and call out Trump quite frequently.  You should go in there to post, and I'd imagine that you'd have a lot to say.  So your point needs to be given to someone else, please.  

But this thread specifically, calls out misbehavior from their reaction videos.  If you either of you don't like that, you can find one better suited to you.   Chris is even more annoying, because he uses the word "grift" in every posting and doesn't even appear to know what it means or have any examples to show for himself.  

Them turning into The Conservative Twins after they failed as standup comedians is an absolute grift it seems like you don't understand what a grifter really is especially political ones.

Your lack of punctuation is atrocious. 

What does being a standup comedian have to with grift, especially given the fact that the subject in question failed at that?

Watching the conservative twins after they failed at being comedians means that I don’t understand what the word “grift” really means, according to you.  Those things don’t really have any clear relation that the reader can make conclusions from.  I recommend that you consider taking a critical thinking class, Chris.  If you want to discuss in here in the future, I’m only going to do it if you’re commenting on a video that I’ve submitted to the good people here. This back and forth stuff is getting too tiresome to continue further, because it seems so useless to argue over the meaning of the word “grift”. My head hurts after speaking with you so I’m gonna get to something else now.  Thanks

You are the one that lacks critical thinking skills.  Them turning into conservative commentators after failing as standup comedians is so clearly a grift that even a blind person could see that.
