  • I have listened to every single Newsom podcast. Worst thing I would say about him is he comes across as inauthentic. I roll my eyes every time he says “I appreciate that”. If he can’t break that stigma, he is destined to end up like Hillary Clinton.

    As for having people like Charlie Kirk, a lot of the hate that I hear about him is mostly taken out of context.

    For instance, when he says how smart they are, he’s not wrong! Charlie Kirk built a massive following from nothing and made a genuine impact on elections. If you are not willing to recognize that, then you are never going to be able to counter this.

    You don’t have to agree with your opponent, but you do have to respect them.

    Personally, I have enjoyed his podcasts where he talks to opposition the most as it gives me an insight into their way of thinking without having to go to conservative friendly media. I never heard of Charlie Kirk before this, and ended the podcast feeling like I understood his followers more (and also hating Kirk’s guts).

    He often gently gives pushback, but he’s not there to debate. He’s there to learn. And I have learned as well.





  • “All we want is voter ID, you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID, you go to a gas station, you give ID, but for voting, they want no voter ID. It’s only for one reason, and it’s because they cheat. We would pass that in 15 minutes,” Trump ranted, seeming to slur his words at times. “If you don’t get it, you’ll never pass that. You’ll never talk about mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots make it automatically corrupt.”

    Donald hasn’t been to a grocery store in 60 years. Give him a break!














  • Are you just describing a full on civil war? There’s not going to be any states protecting other states.

    Some of the competitive districts will be in republican states, so they’ll invite the military in (Gov Lee of TN doing this already in Memphis).

    For other states, they will need to decide how much they want to escalate the confrontation with the federal government. Places like Arizona or Arkansas may not be able to at all.

    And, Republicans only need to win enough seats to maintain the house after their redistricting BS.

    Anyway, I hope I’m only describing a sci-fi/fantasy movie, but seeing the lack of respect Trump has for democracy already, I am not that hopeful.
