He lost a lot of his fans since 2016. I used to listen to his pod casts. But since about 2016 I completely lost interest. "As a person, I find Trump more objectionable than Osama bin Laden." I wouldn't waste any time with a crank like that. That particular quote also makes him out to be a fraud. Because his whole schtick since after 2001, with Hitchens, Dawkins, was the fight against "theocratic fascists".

It's even more ridiculous, after the fact that Biden has turned out to be a complete disaster. Everything has gotten worse under Biden. And it's still just the narcissistic "orange man bad". Even Sam Harris had to admit, after the Afghanistan debacle, that he was wrong about Biden. So the responsible thing would have been to vote for the candidate who wouldn't get people trapped in Taliban controlled Afghanistan and killed.

@fattyjaybird7505 Sam Harris' brain is broke. He has lost a lot of fans. And in this case he said the quiet part out loud -- any means is justified to remove Trump from society. The most extreme for of cancel culture. All these "Trump crimes" are cases of bureaucratic crime and corruption. Russiagate was the FBI, with help from other agencies CIA, NSA, fabricating a scandal against Trump. Fabricating evidence for warrants, lying to investigators, is criminal. This Trump raid is most likely over the Crossfire Hurricane documents. Trump declassified them and wanted to publish them. The DOJ held it up for redactions, intentionally taking forever. They don't want the names of corrupt bureaucrats revealed.

@clonusmaximus4600 Biden had options to prevent the Afghanistan debacle. But he's mentally gone. He's basically the elderly man driving 50 mph in the fast lane with a mile of cars backed up behind him with his blinker stuck on. For example, air strikes would have prevented the Taliban from taking Kabul, with no casualties on our side. The Biden admin. didn't even answer the phone when this was happening. All embassies, foreign nationals, and US residents had to figure out what was going on independently, to get out. Biden really is unfit for the office. Everything he has touched has gotten worse.

Even Hitchens, who only liked maybe 50 people on the entire planet, would have been delighted that Trump vanquished the Clinton dynasty.

The "expert class" considers Trump to be a danger on par with Hitler. But we have seen the results of the expert class being in power with Biden, record inflation, more war internationally, abandonment of Afghanistan, spike in energy prices, and recession, after just one year. And, yes, they want to end democracy if that is needed to stop Trump, even though Trump is much more competent.

I'm wondering how people like this square their utter contempt of Trump, with the fact that he was competent as a president, while everything has got worse under Biden, economy, crime, immigration, foreign affairs, everything the Biden administration touches gets worse.

@Rex73777 Not even 1% of religious people think it means they have to conform to a 2000 year old book.
