Saying Donald Trump was a Democrat once is fairly meaningless. He was a (wannabe) high-roller in the New York real estate market, which means that he needed favors and contacts with the city politicos… which are almost 100% Dems. So, like any other NYC power-player, he donated to the party and swore loyalty… at least to their faces.
Once he got out of the NYC market and started to dabble in TV and “branding” he could afford to ditch what few Progressive public views he (claimed to have) had and move on to… whatever the fuck he is right now.
Ivanka and Jared may indeed actually have some Progressive-leaning views. But it doesn’t really matter: If they are so willing to suborn those feeling in favor of carrying out Daddy’s policies, then they couldn’t have been to strong to start with.
But you’re just employing circular logic to arrive at this conclusion.
Ivanka Trump was a registered Democrat, and voted as such, for her entire adult life. She participated in all kinds of liberal fund raisers and political events. She was, from all outward appearances, a typical rich liberal.
But it turns out that such things don’t preclude you from being a piece of shit.
Of course Joe just mutters and nods along because at the end of the day he’ll let anyone say almost anything and agree with them because he needs those fringe psychotic clicks.
Remember Alex Jones has a White House press pass and legitimate news orgs do not.
Alex was also saying that the government has a lab in San Francisco where agents take psychedelic drugs to communicate with extradimensional alien demons in order to destroy humanity. They plan to use 5G wireless to mutate our DNA to make us easier to control.
I find it to be an interesting warning. How many other liberals are similarly “weak” liberals who are generally progressive but could be easily swayed by personal economic or social pressure?
Probably quite a few, because they convince themselves that going along with the rotten gives them a position to influence the rotten and make it less rotten. And in the meanwhile they get to enjoy the spoils of their position. And they never really make it less rotten.
I don’t understand Rogan’s popularity. The dude is the Larry King of podcasting where all questions are asked of controversial guests are softballs and anytime said guest shits something from their mouth, Joe is like “wow” “huh” “really” “huh” “wow”. Bros gonna bro I guess.
His ex-wife basically said he does.
He’s a crazy person who found a niche for other crazy people and people who like to laugh at crazy people.
It’s not all that different than a lot of things really.
It’s the rich person’s convenient version of Democrat: socially liberal on gay marriage/abortion but very suspicious about anything that raises his or her taxes or makes life easier for low income people.
