    I will not spend 2 minutes (let alone 13) watching the guy whose claim to fame is he fell in a bonfire break the news on a massive nation wide conspiracy any more than I would joe rogan or, hell, RFK probably has a podcast still.

    If there is actual information, provide a reputable source. Not a guy with two seasons of a sitcom on fox and a couple comedy central specials that got increasingly depressing.

      It’s crazy you are being down voted for having a logical approach to what may possibly be complete bullshit.

        Not really.

        People want to believe there was some magic conspiracy that, somehow, absolutely NOBODY has talked about when trump can’t even go a decade without talking about wanting to bang his own daughter. AND they managed to pull it off, not when trump was actually in charge, but four years later when Biden was.

        Because the alternative is realizing just how hateful this world is. And having to question if maybe “I am against genocide and won’t talk about anything else” and “we should have run bernie instead” might not have been particularly helpful in encouraging liberals and progressives to actually fucking vote.

        You see it any time personal accountability becomes a thing. The republicans flocked to qanon because it meant they were actually special and great and it was everyone else who was an evil jewish space lizard or whatever the fuck. Not that they are odious hate fueled shitheads. And… apparently lefties really wish they were Dave and Tommy. Rather than acknowledging that… yeah, glazing liz cheney ain’t it. But maybe villifying anyone who can provide progress for not being Progressive enough isn’t it either.

      What the guy was pointing out was pretty interesting and suspicious. Weird things happened down ballot and no one is talking about it.

        Just like it was really weird that nobody was talking about shoving horse medication up our asses to cure covid.

        Here is the thing. if you approach the data we have from the perspective of wanting to find something weird? You will. EVERYBODY has been clowning on nate silver (long before he became a parody of himself) because they don’t understand statistics or sample sizes. But when you actually look at the demographics who claimed to have voted and general polling… it paints a very reasonable and incredibly depressing picture of how trump won.

        https://catalist.us/whathappened2024/ is a good write up of things but it mostly speaks to what we all kind of knew going in:

        1. Americans are ridiculously misogynistic
        2. Americans don’t like brown people. This, somehow, isn’t just the white Americans.
        3. Historically religious groups (e.g. Latinos) favor republicans.
        4. Older generations tend to skew conservative AND actually go vote

        But hey. I would LOVE to see an excuse that isn’t just “we are a country full of racist misogynists who just want to hurt people and people who can’t even be bothered to vote in their own interests”. But if the only person listening to the truth is a guy who has made a career out of being open with his struggles with mental illness (both genetic and experienced) who has been going further and further off the deep end since the mid 00s? Yeah… there is probably a reason other people aren’t listening to The Truth.


        To be clear. I actually really like(d) Christopher Titus. I think he did an excellent job of using humor to make people acknowledge mental illness, toxic masulinity, and even domestic abuse. And he somehow did it on god damned fox. But he has also very clearly had troubles over the years and it was evident even from just the tone of his humor during his stand up specials.

        And just because someone has a podcast doesn’t mean they are qualified to speak to… anything. All it means is that they have a microphone and someone explained to them that they could use stuff they would already buy or do to lower their tax burden.

            Then please. Educate me as to what this great secret that only Christopher Titus is brave enough to share it is.
