Is he really though? Put aside his media antics and toxic behavior. Is he actually behaving policy wise any different than the average republican? We almost started a war with Iran when he assassinated their general, but we now know many top officials in the us and Israel were pushing him to do it, he actually resisted initially. Some people called him nuts for meeting with the taliban and beginning the process to pull out of afghanidtan, but Biden went ahead and continued it. Despite people framing him as Putins puppet, he further armed Ukraine. I would actually prefer if he was a wild card because going against the establishments plans would actually be really good for the world in a lot of ways. For example some leaks show he started to turn on Netanyahu because he felt he was blocking a settlement. But Trumps advisors convinced him to toe the party line. Obama was a bit more of a wild card with the Iran deal and normalization with Cuba, clearly a lot of the establishment didn’t want that based on their behavior and after Trump reneged it Biden didn’t go back and undo that.

What makes you think Trump will be any different? https://www.mtracey.net/p/never-forget-that-donald-trump-snookered

The point of the video isn’t his belief on that issue, it’s how easily he switches moralities depending on what he’s talking about. In a discussion with Candace Owens she accused him of being a contrarian and he slightly smiled then denied it. What he does is he picks a position that goes against the far right or far left, usually left of center mainstream dem, then starts twisting himself to justify it. That’s not a insightful or good faith strategy, it just appears that way because it’s usually easier to defend establishment positions. Say what you will about Vaush but at least he has something of a moral system he worked out and uses as a lens to view issues and develop arguments based on, as flawed as it can be.

If you’re discussing politics full time you should already have basic elementary morality figured out regarding the issues you are talking about. How can you be arguing about Israel for months and still not know where you stand on ethnic cleaning? Rather than developing a good faith position on it through logical discussion he decides his position in advance and forms his moral arguments around what best defends it. When he is talking to a right winger who wants to deport Mexicans he tells them they’re racists who are asking for something worse than execution, when he wants to defend Israel suddenly it’s ok. It’s not because he’s open minded, it’s because he decided in advance what his position is and has to contort his beliefs to justify them.

You’re conflating a minority of hardcore trump fans with the much larger group of independents that actually get him elected. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/12/02/trump-won-where-import-shocks-from-china-and-mexico-were-strongest/ a study found trump did best in counties that lost jobs to globalization

Then why did Obama voters vote for Trump in key swing states?

The donation receipt and party registration list the same mailing address

this says it’s a suburb of the greater Pittsburg area which is outside of Pittsburg, maybe they sometimes list it as part of Pittsburg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethel_Park,_Pennsylvania Sometimes people don’t submit their middle name on forms, I don’t do it. I don’t know what else it could be if the zip code is the same.

He donated to act blue. Just because he’s registered as a republican doesn’t mean he doesn’t support dems, many people just don’t bother to change their registration.
