The Knicks winning a world championship is cool & all but exposing the world to what an unlikable fraud this guy is might be the best part of this. NYC most hated ppl ever & somehow this guy was more hateable. There canโt be anyone left who likes this guy outside of spurs fans??
Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and heโs doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
Thatโs why Freddy is a phenomenon.
I once spent 5 days with the Mexican Cartel to make a docu-series & they were by far the scariest most ruthless people I've ever been around.
Their value for life was non-existent. This guy was the most ruthless of them all.
