ask you if they compare him to every dictator in the world and it's all they have between now and election day who wins? If it's all they have it's just more cowbell. It's going to sound like people will just be used to it and it'll just look stupid.

Yeah so let me give you a good general rule for persuasion or for spotting a dishonest argument. Here's a good rule. Somebody who has an honest argument in politics or anything else is going to say here are the pros and here are the cons but when you consider all the pros and you consider all the cons on net I'm in favor of this or I'm against it. Now then you've got something to work with. Maybe you debate the facts maybe you debate the priorities but that's an honest argument. Here's all the pros here's all the cons here's what I think about it on net. So if you see that you should engage as an honest debater yourself you know if you want to be a good person because that's an honest person. They're trying even if they disagree with you it looks like they're trying.

Now here's what not an honest debate looks like. Analogies. If all you're getting is scary analogies you know this is like the Great Depression you know this is like Hitler you know this reminds me of you know the destruction of the Roman Empire you know right. If you have analogies without an argument that is a dishonest debate. It's dishonest because they're not trying to win on any kind of logic or priorities or anything they're just trying to scare the shit out of you. So I don't know why nobody else is mentioning this. Why am I the only one to mention that the attacks against Trump have nothing to do with his policies? It's entirely analogies. They're simply taking other people in other situations well you know Hitler in 1939 well you know what it's not 1939 he's not Hitler and almost nothing about that applies but if your brain thinks it does then it can be persuasive.

Now I'm not saying the Democrats are not being persuasive. They are. It's just all they have. They really have to run as far as and hard as they can from policy because Biden didn't deliver and everybody everybody can see for example that the border's a mess and crime in the city and all that.

I'm going to agree with Biden people on one thing. I do think the economy is better than the press or the public maybe is quite realized. Now you say to yourself but you know prices are too high yes and the debt is out of control yes. So if you looked at those two things they actually are a mess but it is we have a strange economy where employment's not so bad and if anything employers are going to be begging for workers. I do think workers' pay has gone up maybe not as much as inflation. It does look like we're getting our supply chains slowly but consistently we're getting our supply chains under control. That's good especially the critical stuff you know not fast enough not nearly fast enough but moving in the right direction. So I'm going to give Biden a B minus on the economy. B minus which is probably better than the public thinks it is because that when you buy the gas and you buy the groceries you know you just vomit in your own mouth. I mean even I do and I'm doing okay. Like when I buy groceries I'm actually shocked. I'm shocked and I can afford it so you it's not affecting my life too much but I was shocked when I had this little pile of groceries and they're like that'll be $200. I'm like what that little that little pile that's $200? I mean it just my mind exploded. Normally I don't even pay attention to honestly you know I hate to say it because it's such a douchebag thing I don't really pay attention to small consumer item prices because you know it doesn't affect my life but it's so high that I'm actually paying attention and I'm actually making decisions that I wouldn't have made before about well maybe I don't need that. So yeah I can see why people think the economy is garbage but it's probably a little bit better than they think. It's just not affecting them personally yet. I am worried about the crushing debt. I don't know how we get out of that.

All right here's Governor Newsom talking about Trump. Let's see if you can find his policy criticisms. Policy criticisms. Here's Governor Newsom. He warned that efforts to prevent former president Trump from getting on the ballot in his state would be political distraction. So he doesn't want to do it but oh that's very big of him isn't it? Like it matters in California. California doesn't matter. Trump's not going to win California so it doesn't matter what they do. So Newsom instead of Newsom saying it doesn't matter what we do because he's not going to win California he just says it's a political distraction which is actually pretty smart because it sounds more like a high ground. You know I'm the adult in the room don't bother with this trivial stuff. He's right about it but then he says this quote there is no doubt. I like that there's no doubt. Oh no there's no doubt. See if you have any doubt about what follows in the rest of the sentence because he told you there's no doubt so what follows must b
