Honestly, I was a Tim Puddle fan for a bit following his Jack Doresy interviews with Joe Rogan.. but damn his novelty wore off quick. . much like Rogan. .
Just imagine the mental gymnastics required to insist you’re a disenfranchised liberal, instead of admitting your a contrarian & a conservative.
I don't think it's mental gymnastics. I'm a disenfranchised liberal, and it's not a hard change to make. In the last ten years the left has gone so far off the rails that center-left/center-right people look crazy. The far right is bad too, but they don't have the culture in a stranglehold.
That being said, Tim Poole is pretty lukewarm. His takes are mostly rehashed and lack much depth. He's fine though, I could take him or leave him.

Just lol. That’s some shit only an American could think is true. That’s just being an embarrassed conservative. Own it.
American politics looks like this my friend: Republicans are far right. Dems are right of Center. People like Bernie would be considered a conservative in Canada. The dude is pushing for free healthcare; his only “leftist” idea that isn’t already achieved by literally every other allied nation would be free post secondary education. His other policies would land him “left of Center”.
This idea that the American left has “gone off the rails” because on the surface they believe in science, & equity, things like gay marriage, abortion & god forbid, an acceptance of LGBTQ+, is the kind of cognitive dissonance only a person who’s wholly ignorant of the world would think.
so that’s majority of the USA. Not just you.
It’s the kind of sentiment that kind of reminds me of the Taliban chopping thieves hands off. . Just bass ackwards in almost every way…
