He makes his pitch to the "regular crowd" and they barely can tolerate him.
His last resort is to pitch to the fringes...way out there in lalaland wearing tinfoil hats so "the others" won't suck their brains out. The conspiracy theory haters of "the other" and fearful of them too.
They EMBRACE him and REVERE him and ADORE him.
He finally finds his niche. Happy Ending or ominous beginning?
