Will Trump win in 2024? | Joe Rogan and Lex FridmanJoe Rogan also talks about why he won't have Trump on his show. In 2016, there was only one major polling company that accurately predicted Trump winning the election. That same company predicted that Trump would lose in 2020. They haven't disclosed exactly how they did it (don't disclose the secret sauce) but they did it. To me, Trump is a symptom of something much deeper in society and the idjits that focus on the symptom, which is the majority of society, will miss the entire forest for a single tree. BTW, in your YouTube preview box, this video was cued and it's WELL worth listening to. Rex Murphy is a political commentator, author and a well known personality in those circles and had a talk show on Canadian politics for over 20 years on the nationally subsidized news channel, the CBC Jordan Peterson is now well known. This video, although an hour long does an extremely good job of explaining what is actually going on in Canada right now as well as our relationship with the US and what the future holds. And what's happening in Canada is pretty scary by any objective standards

The point they bring up about the shortcomings of Zoom parliamentary meetings at around the 10-11 minute mark was a shocking realization for me.
They are FAR less likely to come to solutions virtually in much the same way that people can't seem to agree on anything on social media while the opposite happens when you meet people in person...you tend to agree more and come to solutions in person.

On political correctness and wokism "A form of collective dementia." In much the same way that attention spans seem to have shortened due to the influence of social media. strategies seem to all be short term out in the world. Everyone is playing the 'short game', meaning they are only looking for quick returns. The long game is absent from most people's strategies. Political correctness and wokism are BOTH short term strategies that lead to new longer term problems, as was always the way it was going to go. It's just a matter of following the logic to it's final conclusion. There is definitely something to Jordan Peterson's psychological analysis of the left vs the right. The left generally seem to be more 'creative and imaginative' while the right seem to be more orderly and structured, and these two different types of thinking behavior create different types of government behavior. It's a fact that you need BOTH working WITH each other to have a balanced government. One without the other is a problem. The world is currently experiencing the after effects of a Liberal rule making government in many superpowers (USA/UK/Canada/ Australia etc) and those short term strategies are what has brought upon the world the plight we're in, especially the economic and social distress the world is experiencing.

Did you see Peterson's response to this? He asks how he 'deadnamed' her/him if she WAS born with breasts and how accurate would it have been to say "he was removing 'his' breasts" when the entire reason she was removing her breasts was because she was born a "she" and then transitioned to a "he". She had to be a she to have the breasts in the first place to have them removed. This is the exact thing he testified about in front of Canadian governments years ago that put him in the spotlight. He testified that passing laws enforcing the use of pronouns and making it a criminal offense to NOT use them was illogical and psychologically, biologically and philosophically unsound. And here we are...

The only individual that is a possible viable candidate, over when I look past the existing horizon, is Hogan. It just may be his time.

I wouldn't be surprised if in this fake society we live in, we ended up with a battle between two of the most polished, powerful men in the country. Desantis is a more polished, slick version of Trump and Newsome strikes me as a male version of Hilary Clinton...lifer politician, slick and sleazy. I'm going to be looking forward to whether people remember all the hypocrisy of the pandemic, especially among those on the left who preached safety but went back on their own word whenever it suited their personal wants or political gain. I think most people will forget it all.

news.yahoo.com/poll-just-18-of-americans-say-biden-should-run-for-reelection-in-2024-a-new-low-140538311.htmlPoll: Just 18% of Americans say Biden should run for reelection in 2024 — a new low"Just 18% of Americans say President Biden should run for reelection in 2024, according to the latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll — the lowest number to date. Nearly two-thirds (64%) say he should bow out. And for the first time, more Democrats now say Biden should pass on a second term (41%) than say he should pursue one (35%). The survey of 1,672 U.S. adults, which was conducted from July 8 to July 11, represents perhaps the starkest evidence to date of the president’s deteriorating position with voters — including those in his own party. Since late May, the number of Americans who say Biden should run for reelection has fallen by 7 points; among Democrats, that number has fallen by 8 points."

I don't know if you read it, but I posted this in the Canada / Authoritarian thread: Trudeau is currently running at an ALL TIME low public approval. In Canada, we'd be calling an early election and he's have been ousted but he managed to seal his final 3 years in office but making a deal with his competition to unify in support. So he has locked in his term in office and will be leading the country with an all time low support from the public. What can go wrong?

POTUS Johnson was the last President to decline to run for a second term. I think he may soon have company.
The present POTUS is winning the Race, though, because Johnson at least made it to his third year before he was a Lame Duck. Both have something else in common, though...the mistakes and missteps of a Commander In Chief in decisions of war, that caused the Lame Duck status.

A few months ago people were saying I was nuts for some of the stuff I was saying. It's hard work being able to see ahead of the curve when nobody else can.

www.businessinsider.com/trump-back-washington-july-first-time-since-presidency-2022-7Trump is returning to Washington, DC, for the first time since leaving the White House, and he's expected to talk about a 2nd term as president
"Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at an event in Washington, DC, on July 26, Axios first reported. A source told CNN he's expected to discuss policies he might pursue with a second term as president. Trump recently suggested he'd already decided to run but hadn't chosen when to announce his bid."
