Was there something recent that spurred his obsession with BAP? I know those guys generally think Nick is a huge homo, but did BAP say something recently or is this just Nick trying to pivot the focus off all the homosexual/trans/in love with jaden stuff to something he feels he has more control over?
Also, maybe he is possibly trying to recapture his "glory days" when he was going after the alt-right in the "optics wars"? He needs something on the right to measure himself against and convince people he is the better alternative to.
