Listening to the latest Sam Harris pod where he starts off by criticizing the left for saying trump voters are racist/irredeemable (ofc)...and then clearly he's been embarrassed enough by his crew in the post election days ...so he claims to be handing in his IDW card 😂😂
He says no one else speaks for him and he always thought the IDW was tongue in cheek anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️ [Not like he posed in the bushes with the gang for an official introductory article or anything]
Sam: continues on peddling the same bigoted bs he always has, just temporarily inconvenienced by the fact his pals were openly doing regular bigotry and not the "intellectual" kind

Sam fans: yesssssssss ...see Eiynah?!!! He's so much better than them!

Me: nope
The thing a lot of idw sympathetic ppl don't grasp is that tho the label was a joke and funny and all that ....the label wasn't the main issue with them. They have tried to distance themselves before too when they realized how widely mocked they were.
It's the substance of what they put out. And that is unlikely to change after this election. Whether they do it together or on their own. Sam has done his part in promoting and defending many of these dangerous picks ..and as usual when it gets tough he washes his hands of it
I'd have some respect if he acknowledged his part in propelling this crew and the harm that has caused. Rather than attempt to put it off as some 'always meant to be a joke' thing.
He is spending quite some time explaining to his listeners how there isn't any credible evidence of massive voter fraud .. imagine needing to convince your audience of this lol
Ok so after complaining that really u can't both sides the two parties bec trump really did threaten democracy. He says yes the Dems are also sowing division by calling half the country racist...and that goes to the top... someone like aoc thinks half the country is racist
He really fkn despises AOC ....in the first 2 mins he lies so blatantly about this tweet of hers too, says she is seeming to encourage vengeance...and calling for ppl to keep lists of *anyone* who'd supported trump in *any capacity* https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324807776510595078?s=19
Another great line from this episode is

"Trump isn't Stalin or Hitler" 🧠🧠

He is constantly trying to thread the needle of keeping his anti left audience happy and also criticizing trump because this shit is genuinely scary.

Funny to see him flip flopping all over the place
Aaand there it is "those of u who think not acknowledging how bad Trump is the only way to resist the craziness coming from the left ...all I can say is that it's quite clear that ur wrong...in fact the left has drawn a massive amount of energy and seeming credibility from him"
The real problem guys...with trump is that the left seems more credible because of him.

More 👏Racism 👏 where u 👏hide your👏 power level 👏 and 👏 gaslight ppl👏

This obvious stuff makes us look bad!!
...and as expected the ppl are ready with the bar lower than low.... "OMGwow Sam is so principled ...much credit to him for vaguely sorta saying he *finally* no longer wants to associate with the clown crew that was supposed to be a joke anyway" 🤡
I will be very interested to see how this weak ass IDW retirement is received by other IDW members tho 😂
