Want really his trajectory anyway.

Way easier to just cash in from the sidelines and take the profits without the potential accountability of actually being in any office.

Most celebrity commentators never go anywhere near an actual office. Whether they be left or right.

Metaphorically, luckily not literally.

He was too left leaning before he died.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

*As he died.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 59 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

He really wasn't. As more offline people found out who he was, it quickly became clear that most people found him repulsive.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 43 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

And Trump isn't repulsive?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

With Trump, people either idolize or loath him. With Charlie Kirk, people either kinda like him or loath him. There's a significant difference.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Experts often say that Trump is somehow unique, but I've never understood that idea. If anything, he seems far less impressive to me than a typical politician, due to his constantly broadcasting his low intelligence.

Anyways, I hope he is unique, since he's old and unhealthy. He'll personally be out of our hair pretty soon.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

His low intelligence is the reason so many people love him. Well, not that specifically, but because he talks in a way they understand. The same way they talk. Combined with the belief that being rich (even if it's a farce) must inherently mean someone knows what they are doing, and you get where we are now.

Trump: "nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen"

Conservatives: "this is the most intelligent man alive"

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Everyone else: please stop fucking children!

Conservatives: ...well...

[–] ramasses@social.ozymandias.club 1 points 9 hours ago

He was a republican podcaster, and thats what it is. (also can u let me know if this comment federates, new instance)

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 hours ago

He seemed like was too easy to.... trigger

[–] doug@lemmy.today 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nowadays he couldn’t even be neck and neck with anyone.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He wouldn’t even have a shot.

…another one anyway.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

There was a time when I wasn’t sure if he was serious about his beliefs or if he was just trolling. I see now he was dead serious.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you I’ll be here all week try the fish.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 5 points 10 hours ago

no, thank you, doug

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

His JFK any% Speedrun was seriously impressive

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

I'm just glad to see he finally leaned left in the end.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 17 points 12 hours ago

His fans gush for him just as he gushed all over his fans.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 11 hours ago

Sic semper tyrannis.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 8 points 11 hours ago

Of NAMBLA, maybe.
