re: Sam Harris admits the election was stolen from Trump by Democrats and that’s a good thing

There’s no desire for the winning party to make sure elections were on the up and up. There’s no desire for the media to look into it.

For sure. 2020 wasn't new, except the motivation behind it and where everyone said we should be looking.

And it still produced a whole lot of nothing, except four years of Biden.

and I certainly cant recall conservative pundits in 2016 suggesting fraud was justified.

This isn't a claim that I've made.

Four years of whomever is pulling the puppets strings.

Upvote.

So Sam has now responded on his podcast, and yet again, it does not help out his position. He says he misspoke when he said “warranted” and should have said “justifiable” and that he was being hyperbolic over the meteor analogy since if he truly thought that he’d be openly encouraging a Trump assassination when he’s not that dangerous: YouTube

Honestly, Sam is crystal clear that it’s all about who Trump is as a person over anything policy related. Like he goes after Trump personally, but then defends basically all of Trump’s policies and agrees they’re good. Like, what?! Then shouldn’t you be voting for him? But a snob like Sam can’t stand for a slob like Trump being President even if he has good policy.

He also says the only two people other than him remaining on the Left that haven’t lost their minds are Bill Maher and Andrew Sullivan. At least Maher was sued by Trump for a joke and had to personally spend tens of thousands of dollars in court, so it makes sense why he hates him, but neither Harris nor Sullivan have this excuse. Here’s the thing: y’all are in a cult that celebrates DeSantis and refuse to see he’s anything more but a more polished and calculating Trump. Again, if DeSantis had been elected in 2016 and did almost everything Trump did excluding the rhetoric, you’d barely hear a peep from these three save for minor bitching (barring Covid which would have been justified).

Sam Harris is TDS personified. He can clearly see all the problems in America, and lets the guy trying to solve them and whose policies he largely agrees with cloud his mind simply because he’s an obnoxious slob.

Here’s my issue with dumbfricks who make this claim: who are you comparing him to? What about him is so bad that it makes his character lower than that of Bill Clinton? Obama, who weaponized a huge portion of the government to go after his political enemies? Lifetime career grifter “the Big Guy”? In my politically aware lifetime I think Carter, Reagan and Bush II were decent people as presidents go. But if you want to shite your pants over Trump, you’ve got to show why he’s in some different league than the other three I mentioned. And I’ve never seen a rational justification for that. He’s crass, he’s a narcissist, etc. No arguments. He didn’t shove a cigar up an intern’s twat in the Oval Office or sic the IRS (and so many other agencies I lose track) on his political opponents.

It’s unbelievable in that podcast he defends all of Trump’s policies, but still says he finds Trump to be the biggest threat to American democracy.

Well, Trump making bogus claims about a stolen election doesn't really shut that opinion down.
