SEP 23, 2024 — John McEntee and Walter Masterson aren’t just slinging punchlines—they’re building influence. What started as a TikTok war between a meatball-munching conservative and a sprinkles-loving liberal has turned into a culture clash with millions of viewers, viral soundbites, and political impact. McEntee, a former Trump aide, has turned meme warfare into a messaging machine, blending humor, ideology, and media savvy to shape how Gen Z sees the right. The feud may look like theater, but it’s become one of the most effective tools for framing partisan politics in the age of attention spans and algorithms.
