Robert Barnes reflects on the "lawfare" waged against InfoWars, noting that Alex Jones faced over two dozen lawsuits following the 2016 election. He credits the InfoWars audience for acting as a modern-day version of Thomas Paine's revolutionary networks by sharing links and bypassing social media bans. Barnes asserts that this grassroots distribution of information was the primary catalyst for the populist movement and the ending of COVID-19 lockdowns.
