That is a lie. They did not endorse him.

Please do not blame Arabs for Trump winning across the nation.

Dems are going to have 10 million less votes nationwide.

1. There are 2m Arab Americans TOTAL.

2. The biggest numbers are in safe Blue states CA, NY.

3. Non-Christians voting strongly for her.

4. It was white people not voting for Harris that did it.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Will that crazy **** Elon Musk do a Trump and move from business to presidential candidacy?

I hope Elon gets a high profile role. The more public exposure he gets in terms of speaking and not just snipe-tweeting, the more the general public will realise that the guy is a total f***wit.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Trump never said that.

He said disinfectant. Are you really going to run with semantics on this idiocy?

Might be random, but quite profound, from a profound show



Ultimately it doesn’t matter if you’re “good” or “right” or “left”, you are what you do, the company you keep.

He constantly hosts conspiracy theorists (RFK, Terrence Howard, etc etc) and he doesn’t truly challenge guests when they say wrong things.

Whether he agrees or not, he gives those views massive mobilisation, views, shares on social media etc..

Similarly, he lightly pushes back on Trump re 2020 election, and then leaves that hanging, and endorses him a few days later.

Does it matter what his views “truly are”?
By his nature and audience size, he is giving endorsement to conspiracies, to bullshit right wing talking points, and says he doesn’t believe that peaceful transfer of power is important.
And that’s ok, he is allowed to do that. But to hide behind some vague idea of “just asking questions” is cowardly and BS.
There is no “deep down”.

Damn this is a great post.

I’ve felt a bit uncertain these days with family and friends who are pro-trump and whilst that isn’t bad in itself, it’s what his actions are and what he’s said and the fact these people don’t seem to have any issue or concern with it all.

Im a pretty chilled person and I can treat all kinds of people with respect but am I just as bad as them all if I still hang out with them even despite their support for a horrible human?

It’s so hard.
I definitely don’t think that you are, especially if you have raised some concerns to them.
And if there are specific topics or red lines, then you are entitled to those.
But I think it is natural to want to avoid friction in these circumstances, it’s just potentially getting more difficult.

The idea in the show is that he has definitely done terrible things, and he wants to be told he is still good deep down. He “needs to know I’m a good person” (noting of course he is a horse-man, not a person…. Side point!)
It’s a way of minimising things he has done, harm he has caused.

I assume you have other family and friends who you also spend time with.
And maybe that will become a bigger focus.
If you have kids, try to help them see why blind support for a wannabe dictator is bad. Try help protect vulnerable people you know, rather than deliberately expose them to harmful messages (like Rogan is doing).

 

[Suspense]

Have to hope people like Thiel and other businessmen can turn him from his more dangerous ideas, out of self-interest at the very least you'd think.

Thiel has been a supporter of the tariffs on China specifically.

I believe in free trade. I'm not in favor of tariffs, but I would make an exception for, you know, our one massive geopolitical and ideological rival.

Of course, when push comes to shove - it may be a different story. I can't see Trump walking them back though - it was probably the largest plank of his whole platform outside of immigration.

Won’t see out 2026. Will be the next presidential victim of the second amendment

It was the Latino vote that won it. Harris failed to shore up that base. It went up 50% for trump. And women vote went down for Harris as compared to trump.
Women and Latinos for trump .

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I have a feeling trump will be assassinated and Vance will take over.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

It's plain to see that the majority of Americans are racist and only out for themselves.

He said disinfectant. Are you really going to run with semantics on this idiocy?

Trump was talking about how disinfectant and things like Glen20 kills covid and asked if there was a way to make a product to help people. Than later because of the reaction he literally started being sarcastic about it and the media made out he was telling people to inject it but don't let reality get in the way of a good story. If anything it shows Trump doesn't pretend to know everything and had good will intentions about it but you guys make it into something it wasn't. Those tactics are prevalent reason to why he won and with the popular vote to. They see you guys spin things and that's why calling him Hitler dictator ECT doesn't have the effects it should because nobody believes the Trump derangement anymore.

Women and Latinos for trump .

I mean it’s 12-13% of population, so at most it was 1% swing.

also, both women and men went down for Harris. Men went from Trump +8 to +10.
Disappointing to see the results for women, but ultimately men are more to blame.

Women were

The other demographics didn't change much but Latinos did massively .

 

[black is White]

So all you can add to the discussion is everyone who voted for Trump is racist and he's going to be assassinated lol. Speaks volumes about you and your character.

Almost everything Trump has ever said/done has been completely misrepresented, deceivingly edited and taken completely out of context delibately. He isn't the bad evils boogeyman the media portrays him to be. A perfect example is what happened the other day where the media made out he said Cheney should face a firing squad. When in reality he was using an old hippie talking point saying how it's been easy for the Cheney's to start and send people to war which they've always promoted but wouldn't do it themselves and would cower in the firing lines. Is he a bit blunt and abrasive yes but that's not necessarily a bad thing even tho it has been bad because it's been drastically used against him and I think this time around he's learnt a little from it and has softened a little which is a positive. Also I will add everything the media say and claim about Trump that's negative is exactly what majority of Trump supporters believe the left is doing and that they are only projecting their wrongdoings onto Trump which is literally a fascism tactic. Here's some examples, Trump is colluding with Russia and we find Biden and his family where making dodgey deals with Russia, china ECT. That was fake information they claimed as we find out they very well knew it was legitimate and they tried to cover it up and lie about it. The Steele dossier was literally created by someone on Hillary Clintons campaign team and the FBI knew that and still ran with it. They said Trump wants to Lock up and censor their Politcal rivals yet they try to Lock Trump up and censored him and his supporter's for a lot of things that ended up being true like the Hunter Biden laptop and Ashely Bidens diary. Look at the raid on Trump for the presidental documents he was witholding. For the record every modern day president has taken home their presidental records Obama has thousands in his home, bill Clinton and Bush still have theirs. They tried to get Trump on a technicality they'd do anything to take him out of the equation. Then we find out Biden has records from his vp term, well Only the president themselves are allowed to take home those documents, how does he have those documents for so many years without any questions? Trump had them visit him months before he was raided to see if they where in a secure location and they told him to replace the locks and then months later without warning he gets raided lol. No raids on Biden tho and no other former president even questioned. To make matters worse Biden was withholding the documents in multiple locations one being an insecure Chinese funded University (you can't make this stuff up) in the end they just say Biden is to mentally fragile to face any accountability lol. Literally the definition of a two tier system and hunting and trying to lock up your political rivals. Do the left question any of it, of course not it's just look at this 10 second sound bite of look at the evil orange man. A lot of people are waking up to the gas lighting race baiting mass hysteria creating mainstream media and their cohorts. It's time you guys started playing devil's advocate and actually look at both sides to a story because I can tell you now the mainstream media in most places including here in Australia are extremely biased on a lot of fronts and that's probably where you have gained your perceptions from but it's not a true and fair representation of reality. I'll also add how it's extremely hard for people who support Trump to explain these things to people who have only seen one side of the argument, 9/10 it doesn't go down well so they just keep quiet because how can you explain to someone the hundreds of instances they have been misled on, Trump supporters aren't racist bigoted deplorables they don't like facists or want a dictator they just want common sense policies mixed with an American first agenda and are sick of career politicians who have exploited the system for decades and believe their country has been in decline because of it. They want RFK jrn to go after big pharma and clean up the food and health industry and if Elon Musk can provide efficientcy tests on government workers and lower the costs of government workers and increase productivity that is also a big win. Elon was able to fire 70% of Twitter and it still functioned like nothing happened. Whether you like him or not that is something to boast about and personally I'd love if we could do the same thing here in Australia as I've had family work for some politicians and all they do is drink alcohol on the tax payers money. I wish Australia introduced tariffs years ago to keep the manufacturing jobs metal fabricatiors ECT and not close down our trade schools and sell out to other countries. That's the sort of thing Trump has run on from the start. He even warned Europe you can't keep relying and propping up Russia and Saudi Arabia for their oil and wanted USA and Canada to start providing it. He was mocked for it but it was a great idea that aged like fine wine. He also started making united nations countries start paying a more fair share despite being hated for it that is true leadership that literally goes to the core things he ran on in the first place. Basically everything he said he wanted to do he attempted to do it including building the wall which I thought was ridiculous at the time but it's not to far to say he basically won this time because of his illegal immigration policy. They have had what 10 million + known illegals come in? It could very well be 20 mill all up that's almost The population of Australia which is wild. To make matters worse some democrats where arguing to allow them to vote and voter ID laws are racists. Idk how any Aussie from the outside looking in couldn't question that and think what the hell is going on. I'm sorry for such a long response that's a little all over the place but it's just a quick summary from the top of my head that I know rings true to all the people in the same circle as myself. This is where majority of Republicans belief systems dervive from. It's not ridiculous identiy politics or emotionally driven hatred for the opposition that is literally the bread and butter of the democrats.

How do they know who voted for Trump if the polls aren't accurate enough to predict the election?

 

[Sir_Loin]

A very very lucky f’wit that had a gold mine as a trust fund then being a complete weirdo paid off

Even with the plastic surgery and hair grafts he’s always going to be weird. He can’t shake it off

 

[Carringbush2010]

She’s happy with her Saudi sponsored 2bn investment fund that doesn’t make any money

Irrelevant to my post

There is no need to respond to me man, its all good. Please don't hurt anyone.

Holy shit you must have no intellectual respect for yourself.

We all watched it. What are you even trying to do?

Trump never told people to injest bleach like your making out. Watch the clip without your Trump hating glasses on. It's something he should have asked the professional behind the scenes it was a dumb moment but it's not what a lot of people made it out to be. Later he did joke about injecting bleach making fun of the situation and again everyone made out that Trump was anti science and was telling people to inhale or inject bleach. He asked what was a dumb question. Go and watch it properly they talk about how they where trying things with ultra violet light and hitting the virus and Trump mentions how some disinfectant can kill the virus in under a minute and if there's a way to incorporate that.
