Brett Cooper, a star YouTuber with young MAGA who lives on a farm outside of Nashville, was the profiled in the New York Times last weekend.
Why it matters: The story describes Cooper, who signed last month as a Fox News contributor, as part of a new, internet-savvy generation of conservative influencers.
Zoom in: Cooper supports President Trump, but her focus is culture, the article says, "specifically, making conservatism look cool and normal to young people."
Cooper says conservatives of the past undervalued pop culture: "This is our real life, especially for young people ... The majority of our lives aren't spent debating policy and debating political candidates. It's spent engaging with social media, and that's where we learn values."
State of play: Cooper, 23,lives on a farm outside Nashville with 10 cows, 10 chickens, five pigs and three ducks, the Times' Jessica Testa notes.
Cooper has 1.3 million Instagram followers and 1.6 million YouTube subscribers. The article followed her on a visit to a farmer's market in Franklin, where several fans walked up to meet her.
