Walter Hudson, a public commentator and Minnesota state legislator, posted a series of tweets on September 20, 2025, discussing American prosperity, political leadership, and the effectiveness of boycotts.

In his first tweet at 16:42 UTC, Hudson reflected on societal trends in the United States. He wrote: "The Kirk Moment: Part 3

Evil persists due to the naivety of the innocent.

We're the victims of our own success.

The American project produced historically unprecedented prosperity.

It's made us soft.

It's time to uplift Trumpian leaders."

Later that day at 18:00 UTC, Hudson followed up with a brief post stating: "This is the way."

In another tweet posted at 23:01 UTC, he commented on consumer activism and television viewership. Hudson stated: "Why would you boycott a company to bring back a show you weren't watching?

His viewership was abysmal.

This isn't going to work. Leftist boycotts never work because they always assume there's some massive segment of consumers as nutty as them.

Normies couldn't care less."

Hudson's remarks about "Trumpian leaders" refer to political figures who align themselves with former President Donald Trump's style and policy positions. The phrase "the American project produced historically unprecedented prosperity" alludes to longstanding debates about economic growth in the United States and its social consequences over recent decades. Boycotts by various political groups have been used as tools for protest or change; however, their effectiveness has often been questioned by commentators across the political spectrum.
