About

My Flight Attendant Just Came Up to Me refers to a snowclone made in parody of a tweet by PragerU employee Will Witt in which he described a flight attendant shaking his hand and whispering their thanks to him, before saying "One day, people will be able to say they are conservatives without fear of shame." In parodies of the tweet, Twitter users changed the word "conservative" to other, more humorous adjectives.

>PragerU

oh boy this tells you everything you need to know.

PragerU poses as a "research institute"/"university" but they are not. There is no scientific work happening here, PragerU is simply a far right wing "think tank"… but the fact that they have to hide that little tidbit about themselves by misleading people with their branding poses them closer to "propaganda tool"
