2007–2010: 17-year-old Candace Farmer receives threatening, racist voicemails in Stamford, CT. Family, with NAACP support, files federal civil-rights lawsuit against Stamford Board of Education. Settles in 2010 for $37,500. This is literally the first time “Candace” appears in any headline — framed as a victim of white racism.
2015: Launches Degree180, an aggressively anti-Trump clickbait blog. Her editor: Zoe Weiner, daughter of Mark Weiner — Bill & Hillary Clinton’s top Rhode Island bundler who raised millions for the Clintons over decades.
June 16, 2015: Trump announces his presidential run. Within days, 4chan/Reddit anti-Hillary meme warfare explodes.
April 12, 2016: Candace launches Social Autopsy — a doxxing-adjacent “anti-cyberbullying” database — on Kickstarter. Conveniently: “Accountability” for anonymous online posters.
May–November 2017 – The Pivot: After Social Autopsy collapses, Candace uploads a tearful YouTube video titled “I Used to Be a Liberal” claiming the backlash “woke her up.” She begins posting anti-feminist, pro-Trump content under the handle RedPillBlack. Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA immediately amplify her. The “great awakening” narrative is born.
Late 2017: Creates Explore Talent acting profile.
June 2018 – The Instant Legitimizing Marriage: After a very brief courtship, marries George Farmer, son of Lord Michael Stahel Farmer — a multi-millionaire Conservative peer in the House of Lords, major Tory donor, and co-treasurer of the Brexit campaign.
2018–2023: Blexit, Trump White House visits, PragerU, Turning Point stardom, bestselling book, Daily Wire co-host — full MAGA darling status achieved.
March 2024: Fired from Daily Wire after escalating antisemitic remarks and public feud with Ben Shapiro.
2024–2025: Goes fully independent. Begins openly pushing Frankism, “Jewish gangsters running Hollywood,” and “Christ is King” as a sectarian club. Nick Fuentes wing of MAGA cheers; evangelical/boomer wing recoils.
July 2023 – September 2025: Multiple glowing interviews with Andrew Tate — divisive character, accused human trafficker adored by Groypers.
February 23 – September 2025: Launches “Harvey Speaks” — extended prison interview series with Harvey Weinstein, the single largest individual donor to Bill & Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and every major Democratic cause for 25 years.
Now zoom out.
Candace insists she’s just “asking questions” and doing fearless journalism.
Looks like the most patient controlled-opposition play in modern political history.
