Sam Harris, despite earlier this week positively comparing Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden to Trump, has had a true epiphany on Trump’s appeal. Really, he did. This is worth 8 minutes of your time and now he gets it, even if I was sickened by his comments earlier this week. It’s all fallen into line for Harris to where he not only realizes why Trump will win but why he deserves to win. He admits he was an a-hole to Trump supporters and apologizes for it due to this epiphany.

Earlier this week? Bro, it’s Monday.

But I’ll definitely listen to this in the morning.

Sam Harris and his fake intellectualism can go frick himself for comparing Trump to Hitler.

(I’ll rescind this comment when the US declares war on the Jews, some other minority, and other countries)

I agreed with about 20 seconds of that podcast. Harris has his own head so far up his arse that he just now realized that the left are a bunch of condescending assholes? Hell he is condescending in that podcast in which he rails against condescension.

What a crock of shite. Spends 8 minutes saying the reason we love Trump is because he is a piece of shite and makes that us feel superior him.

That whole thing was Sam saying “Trump and his supporters are too stupid to realize his flaws. I see them. But I can see how his idiot supporters can’t.”

And I like Sam Harris.

Sam makes out Trump to be uniquely more immoral than other people and I just don't find that to be true.


Also, "shamelessness" for what? If Trump has anything to be ashamed about its not being a typical rich guy from NYC. I have no doubt most rich celebrities and athletes and the like have many similar "sins" as Trump. The difference is no one has ever cared enough to look into it.

The part I agree with is the contrast. Non-judgment vs judgement+.


I mean, Kamala Harris genuinely slept her way up the ladder.

Joe Biden slept with his current wife while she was still married to someone else.

I'm just not finding any unique sins Trump has that dems don't.

Sam Harris is the quintessential "overeducated shithead".

That could be the worst explanation of Trumps appeal that I have ever heard. They just don’t get it. The left sits there in their sanctimonious ivory tower casting down bread crumbs to the unwashed masses and tell us that we are horrible people. You can hear it in this jackasses voice. They will never understand the appeal of God and Country. You bet this cat had never flown the Stars and Stripes ever at his home and never thanked God for what we have in this country that literally billions of people worldwide would give anything to be a part of.

Sam Harris is more ate up with TDS than almost anyone in America. I literally have to fast forward through his rants when he starts in on Trump. It's a purely emotional reaction, which is the opposite of what he purports to value.

Wow, that was total self-serving garbage. He still doesn't get it. He suggests Trump has no virtues. Thats a complete lie. His epiphany is that because Trump is a lout he can't judge his supporters and that absolves them of their guilt while the Left want to hold them to account for their sins of racism, etc.

This is a perfect example of a supposed brilliant person who cannot step outside of themselves and be objective. He has no insight into himself, none.

“Trump has hurt our standing in the world”

What a fricking delusional opinion of what he thinks other world leaders think of is. There is no region, sub region, territory, state, or country who if they could, wouldn’t take down the USA the minute they could.

American exceptionalism will only continue to exist if we do what it takes to remain exceptional. He’s half right when he says this apologizing blaming for the sins of the past mentality from the left is what Trump supporters flock to, it’s the only path to continue if we want to lead the world. We’ve amended our laws as needed faster than any other long standing developed nation on the planet.

Trump will never send pallets of cash to Iran.
He will never bow to a Saudi.
He will never let his sons negotiate with CCP for sweetheart deals
He will never apologize for American exceptionalism.
