    Well he may or may not be dumb. Assuming he’s a “social media” personality he likely generates outage intentionally, which means saying dumb shit on purpose to build his follower base. Of course even if these “influencers” are smarter than they let on, they are the moral equivalent to drug dealers or prostitutes, not much better than just being legit “dumb”.

    That's perhaps part of it, but we also never had a hate-monger like this with anywhere near this level of power.

    Do bear in mind that that's what you voted for.




    Edit; in b4 the references to Obama making like one or two poorly thought-out comments, or Joe "Gaffe Machine" Biden saying something stupid ........ and falsely comparing any of that to someone ho literally ran for POTUS on a platform of racist lies, and dividing the country politically.

    In the Presidential acceptance speech, Joe Rogan spoke and Adin Ross was cited as having an impact on the outcome. Yes, we are in an intellectual crisis in this country. Not limited to the right of course, but there is one side where education is mocked. Just saying.

    I doubt anyone is mocking education. More likely they are mocking indoctrination or the failure of public education (like Baltimore).

    Walsh is legitimately dense, though. He claims to be this arbiter of truth with regards to trans studies and then he went on Rogan’s show and even he had to fact check him due to the multitudes of straight up BS he made up on the spot. Guy is a dolt.

    Ya, I'm just a nobody on a message board. I hardly think I affect the national discourse.

    You, however, voted for and shill for a lying hate-mongering racist rapist.

    So try again please.

    But you're not really in a position to bash anyone else for 'hate mongering'.

    That would be like Kamala Harris calling someone else a babbling moron.

    But you're wrong again.

    I'm perfectly in a position to bash a national politician for his consistent, frequently racist, hate-mongering.


    Ya see, I'm totally different from your hate-mongering political hero; specifically, I don't consistently tell outright lies to engender hatred against people. I may find fault, accurately point out the depravity they support, or otherwise make accurate criticisms.. ..... but I don't repeatedly tell outright lies. Read that until you comprehend the difference.

    Next, I don't have a national platform from which to speak, nor obviously to implement laws or policy. Read that until you comprehend the difference.


    So - sorry. You've failed again in trying to drag someone down to the level of baseness that you vote for, support, and shill for.

    Not a fan of Omar and she should have never made that statement. That being said there should be some term for people who have been conned by a reality television star to vote against their personal self-interest, this person being a prime example.

    I guess unwitting victims would be more appropriate than "idiots" and "stupid".

    Well, anyone that has seen your "viruses arent real" posts would likely come to that conclusion
