Joe (kinda sorta) endorses Ron DeSantis for president, saying DeSantis did a great job on Covid and "freedom."

Other dumb poo poo Joe has said recently:

Made fun of people for being worried about SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade when the original leak happened.
Stimulus checks created inflation.
UBI will make people lazy. Poverty is a good motivator.
Paternity leave is stupid.
Thought Australia outlawed people from growing their own food and got mad at Jamie when he couldn't pull it up (because it was fake).
Praised the Florida Don't Say Gay bill.

Not just praised, but continuously misrepresents the bill's written language, intent, and actual effect.

In a way I'm kind of glad for the increasingly mask-off conservative rhetoric from self-proclaimed 'centrists' and 'liberals'. It's a shot in the dark but I think it's helping people wake up to the idea that liberalism isn't really a leftist ideology... in Canada our answer to 'Democrats and Republicans' are 'Liberals and Conservatives', and when I grew up the narrative was that they did accurately represent the left and the right. IDK if Civics classes in high school have updated that but you don't need to look far, from neanderthals like Joe who call themselves liberal to see something fishy is happening. My former best friend used to call himself a liberal and trot out his disdain for Ayn Rand any time someone would call out some reprehensible conservative thing that he said. He's into Jesse Lee Peterson and Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson poo poo now, and he joined the army. So yeah, I guess he's a liberal.

I broadly agree, though I worry that whenever someone who claims to be a "liberal" or "centrist" or "disaffected Democrat" like Rogan/Bret & Eric Weinstein/etc. turns out to be a right-winger, a lot of their fans still go along with them because of the weird trusting parasocial relationships that podcasters have with their audiences.

Speaking of those folks though, it is endlessly hilarious to me how many of Sam Harris's friends have turned out to be complete lunatics. He has the worst judgment of all time when it comes to picking friends.

I don't know if he still does but he used to defend Douglas Murray whose "press" tour for his most recent book is him going on Stormfront screeds.

I initially misread your post as being about Charles Murray, but I don’t think it makes much difference wrt Sam aside from (as far as I know) Charles not having a new book out.
