Pretty good biopic of the ultra shitty, Uncle Tom, dumbass temporary frontrunner of the Republican party.

The Daily was good about him today too.

He has so much charisma and lies so effortlessly that it's almost hard to see him disappearing from right wing politics after this. He's going to be on the short list for VP, a Cabinet member if a Republican wins, and a Fox News personality at worst.

Does he have charisma? He reminds me of Ben Shapiro. Talking fast and saying extremist nonsense.

You have to pull your personal opinions out of it, for people who agree or align closely to him they don't get the "wait a minute that was nonsense" moment. They just hear confident rhetoric that provides a solution for whatever issue, explained in a way that makes sense. He seems smart and he has an answer for everything.

It reminds me of 2016 Trump where there's an answer that pleases everybody and the only shortcoming is that it won't work. How do you build a multi-billion dollar wall while being fiscally conservative? Someone else will pay for it! Don't think about whether or not that makes any sense.

In summary: conservative voters are largely uninformed idiots completely incapable of introspection or reason.

Let’s be honest, your average voter is largely a pile of contradictory, poorly researched opinions regardless of political leaning. Conservative voters on the other hand are usually actively _mis_informed, making them much more dangerous.

I’m not sure the Daily was good. It was basically a “populist with contradicting lies about race and wokism and no experience with international politics making nonsensical promises and who uses salesman rethoric to convince the Maga party”.

Which is actually pretty accurate.

Why bring race into this? The dude is a shitty human period.

Because it's a special type of cognitive dissonance to be a POC and run for the side of racism.

Just like Republicans gays who act shocked that the party of homophobia is homophobic. It's relevant because it just shows how full of shit he is

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
