2024 United States presidential election

If you're not a Democrat, kissing the MAGA ring is the only way to become President. So, one must toss away any scruples or morals and do what it takes. Just look at Haley, clearly trying to keep on the MAGA good side for 2028.

Akin to Weinstein's casting couch, it's a case of "just how badly do you want this job?".

Did anyone watch the Bill O'Reilly interview with John Stewart on the Daily show?
I think it was quite a good summation of the situation right now from two who have always been on opposite sides of the spectrum.
I like their general shared thesis that it's not that "hate" didn't exist before, but it's that now "hate can be monetised" and not only through conventional media, but by literally anyone on social media, and that is what has changed everything.
The more you hate the more clicks you get the more money you get.
