Curious, am i the only one.

I don't know the details because i honestly dont read more than the headlines -- for years now ----

BUT.

Is anyone uneasy that podcasters, or people like Loomer seem to have so much influence on our side?

It gives me the creeps.

The only reason Loomer has any influence is because when she says something seemingly at odds with Trump the media magnifies it.

If you want to see somebody who is podcaster that has real influence, the name you want is Joe Rogan. And he’s not even a conservative.

Yeah heard his name saw a few....seconds in my whole life.

hat gets me is Loomer speaks-----and freaking semi high level people - get fired or hired.

It's like on our side we gotta say "I'm ignorant. I'm anti-knowledge. I'm pure Taliban minus the beard and turban"--- and if yu don't embrace that, you're out.

If the other side continues "they them" extremism from Coastal White 401K liberals - so be it - they can keep getting what they deserve.

If they pick a Beshear or a Rahm Emanuel who doens't have to embrace the Progressive line -- - I might have to give a shit again and join up.

As it should.

Romanoff had Rasputin. Stalin had Lysenko. Hitler had his astrologers and quacks.

Trump has Loomer and Kennedy..

It seems that most authoritarian leaders manage to surround themselves, and take counsel from- a menagerie of charlatans.

Self styled wizards, seers and magicians.

Those who tell the cult leader what he wants to hear.

What's working on me is --- it's like a badge of honor now.

I was fine with 'aw shucks' politics. I liked it. A lot. Still do. I resented the "i'm better than you' from the faculty lounge who never made a dollar in the real world --and i still resent them. BUT.......



But now i feel its "I'm stupid, and I'm proud of it...and you better be stupid too" and i feel it's literally gonna kill many and cede certain discoveries to other countries.


Oh well saw a headline - Hegseth bringing Christianity to the military.

Well that means the gay soldiers will have more sex at least.

Paging conservatives?

They have gone missing. But they will likely be found the next time Trump has a colonoscopy.

Yep. They changed their name to MAGA and crawled up their Orange messiah’s nether regions.

Ok. Not exactly missing. We know where they are. But they have changed and are no longer conservatives.

Do I need to recite their comments on Trump from 2015/2016 and compare that to their more recent comments?

You mean they are Gorbeachev loving Reagan hating Liberals who now don't meet a war they don't like?

You mean they used to have long hair and backpack and brown rice and protested the Man - yet not they are white 4901K toting self segregators who just love them the cheap labor and the S and P 500?

;)

BUt yes, some of your point is well taken. "Liberal" and "Conservative" mean less than before. It's anot all about the tribae and the Mufti du jour.

Please also recite what HIllary and her supporters used to say about Obama. Please recite what TMF obama supporters said about Hillary and her supporters.

I fully admit, Conservatives were totally anti Trump until they jumpedo n the bandwagon. (heck the Righties used to get bad at me when i as against many Free Trade Deals....I got scars from those fights ;)

But - don't pretend it doesn't happen all over the place .

There are a few I can see - like George Conway, etc. I can't see any real affect, but I'm glad they're there and not NAGA.
