Travis Swope

Travis Swope podcast host and expert bullshitter. I am a capitalist to the core and believe government needs to get out the way. Specifically, I am pro-gun, pro-choice, and pro freedom. Let people live as they choose and seek their own happiness. Read the constitution and decide for yourself. In fact, do all of your own thinking. The country is divided like never before and our future as a Union is not guaranteed. The ruling class aims to disrupt, divide and control us. Don’t believe the hype in the mainstream media. Be respectful to one another but think for yourself and question authority. Remember, if we’re all thinking the same then someone is not thinking!
