Cenk has seen the writing on the wall, and knows the dems have no future.
Problem is, the fact that he is able to pivot so smoothly and quickly means that he wasn’t drinking the koolaid.
Which means he knew Trump wasn’t Orange Hitler. That he knew most of the things said about him were lies. Because if half the stuff they said about him was true, no sane person would work with him.
So, if he knew before that it was all a lie, but he’s only pivoting now, that means this is self-interest, not enlightenment.
Which means he is not trustworthy.
This is something to keep in mind as more and more lefties try to pivot to the Trump Coalition, which they will.
Keep an eye on when they turned, and what they said before they turned. Not just about Trump. About covid. About immigration. About white people. About middle America. About heterosexuals. About the working class. About men.
Check the receipts.
Doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t work with them, but it means we must be judicious about how much trust we extend.
Works the other way, too. Ron Paul was laying tracks for the Trump Train before even Trump was on it. Hell, before there was a train. At great personal cost and risk.
The compass needle is swinging away from “experts” with academic credentials from certifying institutions, and towards those with a track record of accomplishment, skin in the game, and, most of all, proven loyalty to the American tribe over the political class.
America is a blood-and-soil nation, like all the others, and, while we have a permissive culture about allowing others to join the club, they must prove their loyalty to be allowed to do so.
Let’s remember to keep that in mind as the rats start to abandon the ship.
I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said – what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.
