e like putting the toothpaste back in the tube. You know it could be somewhere. Well that's a bad analogy. Forget that analogy. But anyway. The New York Times shows some polling that Americans now overwhelmingly support GOP positions on numerous trans issues. So Daily Wire is reporting this. Amanda Prestigiacomo. Wow what a nice name. Amanda Prestigiacomo. That's just a great name. I can't pronou…
← Previous segment →'t really make any difference because the election was over and it would just make it hard for Johnson to work on the transition I probably wouldn't have said anything until I was sure the transition was working okay. Because it would have been creating a problem that didn't need to be created because there was no benefit from it. It was good that we found out eventually. That part's good. I'm going to say Mike Johnson probably played it correctly because getting the transition right was at the moment more important than just one more piece of evidence that Biden's brain was shot. We already knew that.
But it was funny seeing a video from the time of this in which Karine Jean-Pierre, spokesperson, was asked you know why does Biden even care about this? Like what's behind this? And she tried to explain it without knowing anything about the topic. It's like uh well it's because the importance of it to the public and to the to the to the way we the public and also the the very he cares about it he cares about it and the and it's because the importance is very important so the importance to the public and the importance of it is what. And it was just hilarious. She didn't even know what the issue was. So who the hell was in charge anyway?
So you put it all together and you can see that there's a complete collapse of the Democrat Party. And I have a theory about what causes the acceleration of the crash. If you divide voters into two types there's the people who follow politics and maybe that's 5% and they kind of they be influenced by seeing both sides of an issue. So Mark Pincus probably followed politics enough that you would read an article about the fine people hoax and changed his opinion based on new data. That seems to be true for some of the tech leaders who were leaning Trump that they did follow politics as they should. You know it's part of their job. And so they saw earlier that factually they could make a change because the facts were now different than what they once understood.
But most people are not in that category. So my hypothesis is that for the vast number of people who vote but really couldn't answer any question about politics, if you went to the average person and asked any question just any question about anything in politics and look what comes out of their mouth it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter who it is you just look what comes out of their mouth and you go uh do you follow the news at all? You know that's what it feels like. I think that that group, the people with weak preferences or don't follow the news that much, that for them their choice of a candidate and choice of party is closer to a fashion accessory. It's a way to support their brand.
So if you thought one side was the evil side and one side was the good and open-minded side and you thought you were good and open-minded you would back the good and open-minded side as you've been taught to. But I think at this point Biden and Harris have so destroyed the brand. I mean just absolutely destroyed it. And there's nobody on deck. It's not like everybody's waiting for Pete Buttigieg to step up. There's absolutely no character in the Democrat Party. None which anybody can say yeah there's my inspirational leader. It's interesting that Hillary Clinton was once that person but at least she had the first potentially the first female president thing going for her. So you know she had the sort of the Bill Clinton glow. So she had all the right people. So even though she was a terrible character and she probably lost because she wasn't a good character but at least she had something you could grasp on to if you're a woman in particular. But now what would they grasp on to? Harris was the biggest incompetent we've seen. Biden's brain wasn't there. Nobody's on deck. What exactly are you going to hitch your wagon to? Nothing. There's nothing there.
So people who want to brandish their brand are not going to look for the failed completely collapsed Democrat Party with unpopular views on everything. There's no way you can just associate that with your brand. The only reason it worked before is that the fake news had created such a bubble that you couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. Literally couldn't tell the difference. So under that world you could say oh these are the good ones. I want that associated with my brand. But now when even Snopes is debunking the fine people hoax and you know we can see the total collapse of the traditional news specifically because it's fake then there's nothing to support the bubble anymore. You know the podcasts broke the bubble. I think that's what it was. I think the Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, the communication skills of all these people just broke the bubble.
Now what do the Republicans look like? Let's say you've got Trump who survived an assassination attempt in the most remarkable way. People like to be associated with bravery and manliness and manliness which they missed. But also you have the smartest most successful people in the world taking sides with them or at least not resisting. So now you know you're hearing good things from everybody from Bill Gates to Bezos to Elon kicking it off, the All-In Pod guys. I hate clumping them all together but it's faster to say that way. So now if you wanted to be associated with something where the most awesome people in the country are associated, to me the most awesome people are the ones who are making the biggest positive difference and they seem to be almost universally moving toward Trump. Everybody from Jamie Dimon saying hey those tariffs are actually a good idea for negotiating. It's really everything. So everybody who's smart and capable and especially manly because that matters. You know no matter what you think of manliness it matters to politics so it has to be mentioned.
Trump it all. China loves him. The public loves him. You can wear a red hat now. And I think that means that what it looks like is a complete collapse on the Democrat side. But I think you're also going to see it in polls. You're going to see that they're just not going to vote for the ridiculousness anymore. Or at least enough of them won't. And here's just such a good example of the total collapse of the Democrat Party. So I always talk about two movies on one screen. You know how you can watch the same thing and come up with two different views. As Owen Gregorian was saying on X yesterday it seems this 28th Amendment story has formed into two movies. Against all odds because it's a pure factual statement that is super easy to check. Does the 28th Amendment exist or does it not exist in a confirmed approved way? And the answer is it's not confirmed and therefore it doesn't exist. But because both Biden and Harris posted on X and social media that it was real and that they're responsible for making it real, Democrats think it's real. Republicans, no it's not.
So of all things it's literally the easiest thing you could check. Is this part of the Constitution or not? One Google search would be the same answer every time. It's not even being covered up by part of the news so it's not like MSNBC is saying it's real. I need a fact check on that but they're not saying that's real right? And still

it creates two movies. Half the country probably thinks it's real. Anyway Democrat strategists are whining about the future, the party. And one of my favorites was Jamal Simmons, one of the Democrat strategists, and he said that their vibe is off. Our vibe is off. Got to burn down our image. See how he talked about image? He didn't say we have to improve our policies. He didn't say our policies n…
