I question if that's even possible in the post-smart phone era. People under 40 years old now a days almost solely get their news from some form of social media. Therefore step 1 for being a viable candidate in any democratic election is being able to drive engagement in enough of the electorate from their content or from associated influencers. It's almost a prerequisite for that to be a raging blowhard narcissist.
