      This is the same RNC that put up a banner saying “WE ARE ALL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS”. They are evil fascists who do not respect law and order.

        he’s easy to make fun of. he’s hyberbolic and hypocritical

        and he’s ‘controversial’. the press can’t get enough of building him up into this big figure, when he’s anything but, but when they do they weirdly fixate on how ‘hunky’ he is, which is even more bizarre.

    I keep hearing this guy’s name, but I have no idea who he is, and he has no influence on me, or anyone I know. I don’t even know where to go to hear him. Social Media platforms, I guess. I’m not going to bother, I don’t care.

    I really wish we could stay focused on important issues, and stop letting MAGA decide the conversation. We need to dominate the media with the real issues, and refuse to engage with Trans and Hassan Piker nonsense, or whatever the conservative boogeyman of the day is.

    Whenever we are talking about stuff other than Health Care, Data Centers, AI, Flock, the AmerIsraeli War®, Epstein Files, Sociopathic Oligarchs, CORRUPTION, etc., we are losing. Whenever they bring up their favorite nonsense, toss it aside, and shift the subject to anything from their LONG list of crimes.

      If he had no influence they wouldn’t be so obsessed with him. He is platforming dsa and progressives candidates. howwoh I is that not good against the far right facists?

      He has no influence on you but he does for a ton of terminally online stream viewers who might otherwise become chuds

      I’m not telling you to follow him (I sure don’t) but the more he’s demonized by the right in such a laughable manner, the more young people get exposed to him.

      Fascists and corporate shills desperately want you to not focus on anything that matters, hence this nonsense.

        They might be implying that it’s nonsense to be having a conversation about whether trans people deserve equity, since they obviously do.

          Exactly. You’re letting the fascists control the discussion when all you do is react to whatever topic they want you to be focused on for the day. That’s the nonsense part not the topic of discussion.

          It’s also nonsense to suggest that it’s ok to murder 100s of schoolgirls, or that trump didn’t sexually abuse children, or that the private healthcare system is somehow better than universal, or that flock is not an invasion of privacy.

          And yet for some reason only trans people were singled out as unworthy of protection somehow, even though their lives are currently being destroyed in the US.

            Abortion nonsense, trans nonsense - all the topics the fascists bring up to try and gain support from their bigoted supporters. The items are not nonsense, the fact that they are using them in this way is nonsense.

            Abortion is a human right. People who are trans are humans, deserving of full human rights.

            The fact that this is even up for debate is… nonsense

    I’ve heard of projection but this is way too on the nose. Or maybe it was on the wall. Not sure where they projected the image of him on, but I bet they only needed one hand to hold up the picture in the bathroom!
