      Then we would have eyeliner wearing Venereal Disease Vance and he’s just as worse!! It’s an “evil vs evil” situation and the only people who lose are the American people who tried to change the narrative! I legit feel like I am walking in real time through some “Idiocracy” film set watching for Luke Wilson to pop out and say JK, but NOPE… here we are! :/

        Trump is only successful because he holds a coalition of wacko together with his personality cult. Vance does not have that cult following. He would not be able to hold the coalition together. One of Trumps kids might be able to, but they’ve all been pushed aside by Musk. Musk can’t take the reigns because he is an immigrant. If Trump goes. the whole thing quickly falls apart.

          Thank you for this comment! 100% agree! (He is a multi unsuccessful businessman). This is a straight up cult mentality and GOP voters won’t know until it affects them! (Which it is but wayyy too late). They already chose ‘Good vs Evil’ and sadly we all have to suffer! I honestly hope ever Drumpf supporter feels the wrathX100! I honestly will not even bat a damn eye at them! Savage!

          I had a Drumpf supporter living by my house (Drumpf signs, stickers, etc.), and just in the last month lost his job and put up his house for sale!!!😂 SORRY NOT SORRY! They CHOSE that and NO ONE is to blame but them for their votes! So, I honestly have 0% of sympathy for them! 🖕🏼

          But I love that comment because Venereal Disease Vance does not have the same following! Thank god!!!

          Also even if Musk is able to find another puppet it’ll be notable smaller than Trump’s. Musk cultists generally align with STEM weirdos no offense to folks in STEM but I’m sure you folks are familiar with the types I’m talking about.

            You mean the business majors who think they’re an engineer because they spent a year majoring in engineering? Jk yeah I know these morons, they’re all throughout stem and if they see any value in the humanities it’s them being really into philosophy but like in the same way some salespeople are really into tech, ie lacking comprehension or context.

              Also why is it always some fucked up bastardization of Stoicism? Why can’t it be Cynicism or fucking Bellicose philosophy it’s always fucking bastardized Stoicism.

                Probably because they think of it as manly logical philosophy. I always liked stoicism because it helps with my panic attacks and it’s always weird hearing these guys talk about it. But also bad stoicism doesn’t challenge them, it doesn’t ask them to reconsider their actions, or to reevaluate anything. It merely says to be tough.

                And in that vein it isn’t just bad stoicism. Some of them get into neitzche or get really into egoism and do that about as well as their goddess Ayn Rand.

                They just want to hear that they’re smart and special and should be in charge.

                  Also whatever the absolute fuck is going on with “Rationalism” which much like objectivism is quite the opposite of what it’s called. Seriously I feel like these STEM weirdos need to be forced to camp by themselves for a month or so, just factory reset them.

                    Be careful what you wish for. I thought lsd would fix them but no, instead of becoming one with humanity and the earth they made it weird and tried to act like it was the secret to getting vc money.

                    So yeah they might just get into month long camping alone and start influencing on it and gentrifying fucking off into the woods.

                    And yeah rationalism and objectivism are so yikes it hurts. And their understanding of Stirner is lackluster at best. These are the sort of people who would read proudhon and only take away the bigotry or decide that since all property is theft they should just start stealing

            I think, at the very least, it was over exaggerated.

            I also think it was fake. I fucking hate the guy but he’s so full of bullshit that I literally don’t believe ANYTHING he claims.

            He could say he breathes air and I would have my doubts.

                Yeah. He probably did. Can you disprove my disbelief?

                This fucking useless scumbag just wanted attention. That’s my opinion. Appreciate any counter-evidence.

                Cause if it’s just u and me, without any actual evidence, anything could be true.

                  Because many people witnessed the scene, there was a body, etc.

                  The evidence for this event is .001% Trump’s words.

                    This does not mean that it wasn’t staged. He could have been a person with nothing to lose and be like „I’m gonna kms anyway, might as well do it for trump“.

                    In my humble opinion you are severely underestimating how insane people can be.
