Just started reading this book for the same reason. Really enjoying so far!

Frustrating that the same crowd who felt it necessary to be “skeptics” during a global pandemic…do not question the bullshit peddled by conservative propaganda.

That explains why his “argument” does not include a shred of supporting evidence. He states his conclusion and then implies that anyone who disagrees is a fool.

He did the dog whistle 3 times by my count.

Recommend pulling the thread on his involvement with Constellis aka Blackwater in 2018. Don’t look at it from the perspective of your average person in 2018, but from that of your average post-9/11 vet. We all knew at that point.

Having spent many an evening blackout drunk in foreign ports as a Sailor, I’d be willing to accept the story IF he had realized the error and removed it in the many years since he got it. “Oops I got a Nazi tattoo and just left it there” is a bullshit story.

If I were his friend and knew he was legit (assuming, just for arguments sake), I’d suggest he spend some more time in the public eye earning that trust and then run. And of course get the goddam tattoo removed.

This guy makes me think about Fetterman and some of the other people we’ve elected who turned out to be jerks. It’s unfortunate, but I think now we need to really make people earn our trust, and this guy just ain’t it.

Just wandered to your feed because I’m reading Culture Warlords and in awe of your courage. I know this is like a month old but I really wanted to offer words of support. You are a fucking badass. Transitioning is hard. Not transitioning (my choice so far) is also hard. Be kind to yourself. ❤️
