    I predict that even if Trump loses he will overshadow a Harris-Walz administration.

    It’s Long TDS.

    JD Vance’s plan to cut childcare costs: “Have grandma and grandpa help more.” LOL! The fact that you think either two of these dopes care about the American people is embarrassing. Trump called his own supporters basement dwellers, but I bet that turns you on. Freaking joke.

    Are you serious? How about the thousands and thousands of newly minted 18 year old adults who don’t care about politics and/or aren’t registered to vote?

    Its almost like i have 20 and 18 year old daughters. I literally never hear a single one of their gazillion friends mention giving a rip about who a pop star votes for.

    The ones who don't care, wont stand in line in November because Taylor talks about it today.

    Dude lol @ your anecdotal story being indicative of anything. She’s a global phenomenon. Her endorsement would absolutely make a difference. The margins are razor thin.

    You act as if all influence is done consciously. From a marketing standpoint, that is absolutely not true. Nobody ever claims to buy car insurance from the official car insurance provider of their favorite sports team because of that sponsorship. I've literally asked hundreds of people a question like that before and think I have ever only seen one hand. And yet, if you look at the data, it is causing shifts in purchasing behavior to sponsor a team like that.

    Jason Aldean and Alan Dershowitz care nothing for the American people.

    Neither do these hostages criminals: 20231013_233107.jpg

    I haven’t heard of him. But I don’t follow pop country at all.

    I could be wrong and don’t quote me on this, but I think Taylor Swift is ever-so-slightly more famous than Jason Aldean. By a hair. Might be close though.

    yeah this one was a gem

    Donald Trump’s rambling answer to a child care question, deconstructed | CNN Politics

    I think what he was trying to say was wears going to raise so much money in tariffs we can pay for child care and lots of other things.

    I’m not sure that answer is better or worse than JD Vance’s get grandma to help.


    Going back to the Lex Fridman interview - there was this gem. When asked how he may reach out to Democrats he said we are all just waiting to die and if you vote Democrat we will become communist.


    Lex Fridman(00:36:44) Well, politicians and the media can play those games. And you’re right, your name gets a lot of views. You’re probably legit the most famous person in the world. But on the previous thing, in the spirit of unity, you used to be a Democrat. Setting the politicians aside, what do you respect most about people who lean left, who are Democrats themselves or of that persuasion, progressives liberals, and so on?

    Donald Trump(00:37:15)
    Well, look, I respect the fact that everybody’s in there, and to a certain extent, life is what you do while you’re waiting to die, so you might as well do a good job. I think in terms of what’s happening now, I think we have a chance to save the country. This country’s going down and I called it with Venezuela, I called it with a lot of different countries. And this country’s going down if we don’t win this election, the election coming up on November 5th is the most important election this country’s ever had because if we don’t win it, I don’t know that there’ll be another election and it’s going to be a communist country or close.

    That's very possible because Trump acts like a teenage girl going through puberty who needs attention

    The thousands that registered to vote a couple months ago after she tweeted something. After her tweet there was a 20% spike

    The point is she has influence over a certain demographic and registering to vote puts you a lot closer to voting than not being registered
