The reason why populism is - well - popular, is that it is a basic expression of common sense. One can sense that their leaders are speaking much more truthfully than their opposition, who just openly lie.

Dr. Ghate, I have noticed advertising by evangelicals trying to attract new recruits on news channels. Is this because of the chaos nihilism they see Trump creating for them?

Look back at reality. Trump didn't cause chaos, Leftists did. Leftist sparked racism, division, silencing opposition, anti-Americanism, a summer of riots, child porn, child sexual mutilation, abortion up until being born, and massive pro-elitism. AKA: fascism.

You have to consider the impact of Obama’s policy of globalization sending manufacturing jobs, etc. overseas. It was significant and this set the stage for populist enthusiasm for someone like Trump.

The underlying problem is the mixed-economy. If people can be voted in to change the outcome of free trade (voluntary trade vs coerced outcome) then the ‘gang warfare’ Rand spoke off is the outcome. Don’t pin this specifically on Obama or any POTUS, it’s the mixed economy

there is a lot of talk about a Manhattan project for AI. It would be interesting if ARI laid out a clear principle based argument for the right to privately own artificial super intelligences and how this relates to government regulating technology that has potential or actual military uses. Also talking about how startups like Anduril are a replacement for bloated corrupt military industries. Sometimes it seems ARI’s voices are missing from these contemporary discussions that grab young people’a attention especially in tech

I am a Trump Supporter but I was a late Trump supporter. In the 2016 Republican Primary, Trump was way down my list. I believed he was a Hillary plant in the Republican party so that Hillary could win easier up against Trump which we knew the Clinton's and Trump was tight. I was one of those that held my nose while voting for Trump in 2016. I became a strong Trump supporter in 2020 mainly because his policies was good for America. In other words he proved himself in his 4yrs of Presidency. In 2024 I am a fanatic for Trump. lol I am MAGA which simply means Make America Great Again! So I went from holding my nose in 2016 to a radical Trump supporter. 75Million legal votes for Trump in 2020. Trump is making huge inroads into the black and hispanic vote that are coming over in droves and leaving the democratic party in 2024. Something big is going on for 2024. A huge shift is taking place. Perhaps the American people have woken up to who the democratic party has become a dictatorship. The democratic party is become the party of elitism. The Republican party under Trump has become the working class party. I believe the democratic party has gone to far and is the dictatorship that wants to set up a totalitarian regime. When you put up 4 fake indictments and try to bankrupt the man and try to put him in prison for 300yrs all coincidently in an election yr the American people see what is going on. It is the weaponization of the justice system against your number 1 political opponent that only happens in third world countries and Communist Countries. It is the democratic party that has transformed into the Communist party. Communism and Freedom can not exist side by side.

I think many are fanatics, but there are many who are not. They recognise his flaws but see the alternatives as much worse. Certainly if you frame it as Republicans vs Democrats, then the latter are _very_ much worse. ARI doesn’t seem to recognise this, as far as I can tell. They tend to see it as “two wings of the same bird,” to coin a common phrase. Imo, that was more apt 10-20 years ago, not today.
He accuses trump of negatively labeling huge swaths of Americans … in the same vein of talking about tech leaders, political leaders and media. That doesn’t sound like huge swaths. Who labeled huge swaths? Hillary, Obama and Biden did. I think he’s operating out of rules for radicals. Blame others of that which you are doing. Perhaps he’s a plant?

It's very important to point out the flaws of the nationalist, strongman-loving fans that are enamored of Trump. It's certainly possible that a rational person could vote for Trump as being less problematic than whatever Biden and his handlers are. However, that argument must begin by pointing how awful Trump is in terms of his behavior, policies, methods, and actions. Know in brutal detail what is awful about your candidate before choosing him in the voting booth.

Such a rational person would have to be way out of touch with what is going on in the external world, like Trump's constant flip-flops has constant false claims and his erratic behavior some of which was downright criminal, possbly openeing himself to charges of espionage. What was he going to do with the documents stolen from SCIF's and his constant lying about returning them including telling his lawyers to lie and even lying to his lawyers, finally provoking a raid by the FBI. Given Biden's support for the criminal Hamas, the best you can do is not vote since BOTH fall below the minimum acceptable standards. Todd Schnitt played an audio of Trump saying, while displaying one of these files at his Bedminster home, "I should not have this". Given that a fully rational person would be informed as part of being rational, making it a point to be in touch with the wxistence that esists, one could not vote for Trump. Especially now that he has been convicted

Trump was in office four years and did a great job. He's pro a strong military but against war. U.S. nationalism is something Ayn Rand believed in as she strongly supported our constitution. Being a nationalist is nothing more than showing strong support for the constitution. Leftist have tried hard to convince the ignorant that nationalism means something nefarious. Leftists are Ayn Rand's little people. Liars, cheaters, twisters of facts and reality. Only the small fries use such tactics.

We know all about Biden's Soros backing. We know all about the collusion with the FBI (Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation!), with the old Twitter, with other media organizations to silence opposition. We know all about attempts to FORCE people to take the Covid mRNA vaccine; while deliberately delaying the non-mRNA Covid vaccine. We know about initiating a war in Ukraine and their proffered excuse to keep the Military Industrial Complex funded. We know how they created a disaster in withdrawing from Afghanistan. We know all about the top Dems backing the 2020 riots, assaults, arson, murders. We know how they then flipped their view and went to insanity's length to try to portray protestors seeking to have election irregularities reviewed as "terrorists." We know all about the disaster of an economy. We know Biden's Red Rage speech (closest things to Hitler ever seen in American politics). We know all about Biden's hand "accidently" slipping over little girls' breasts (videos are online). We know Biden got kickbacks from Hunter's illegal dealings. We know how the Biden administration has weaponized the justice system. This is why we vote MAGA. Only the willfully evil vote Biden.
