'That's just how he speaks.' 'He was joking.' 'It was locker room talk.'

@realz I get the idea of trying to test a sample in order to get an idea of the whole, but I think there are logical problems with what he can draw with what they did. Sampling is a daunting endeavor with questionable reliability in the best of circumstances - take polling for instance. To get reasonably reliable data, many controls are required. Given the exceedingly short timeframe, he couldn't reasonably expected to have accomplished that. I know that he provides some qualifications at the beginning of the video and identifies some caveats throughout, but he knows that his target audience are not likely to take those into consideration. I am going to listen to the interview and see if he makes a point of qualifying his findings.

@Adam135, you just advanced to level 10!

2020-11-27 18:25:10 UTC  

Frankly, covfefe.

2020-11-27 18:25:22 UTC  

things aren't boding well for the Donald it seems

2020-11-27 18:26:10 UTC  

Locker room talk? I like it.

2020-11-27 18:26:16 UTC  

hell get'em in 4 years

2020-11-27 18:26:19 UTC  

I know you do.

2020-11-27 18:27:32 UTC  

> things aren't boding well for the Donald it seems
@Adam135 All they need is one hit in order to forget the litany of misses and get all hyper again. It doesn't even matter how important the hit is.

Trump is done. His flock will never be.

2020-11-27 18:28:40 UTC  

they are trying to see what sticks

2020-11-27 18:29:01 UTC  

Yes. Yes they are. It's all fantasy.

2020-11-27 18:29:04 UTC  

I agree there are problems with the sampling, but those problems are solvable if done by the government

2020-11-27 18:29:10 UTC  

They would assert that it is all part of the plan to get it to the SC.

2020-11-27 18:29:20 UTC  

He grew a pretty loyal following, 75 million now almost.

2020-11-27 18:29:22 UTC  

And without the government this is the best you can be expected to do

2020-11-27 18:29:37 UTC  

It also places bounds

2020-11-27 18:29:44 UTC  

You now know some maximum

2020-11-27 18:29:52 UTC  

If something intersects with reality, it won't be because they knew it. That ship has sailed. Before the election would have been a better time imo.

2020-11-27 18:29:54 UTC  

Barnes just said “even rekita” referring to saying Powell is wonky. So I guess rekita is pretty far right wing

2020-11-27 18:29:57 UTC  

If nothing gained traction so far, I don't see how it would fair better on SCOTUS

2020-11-27 18:30:28 UTC  

Rekieta is just unabashedly right wing, I dunno how far he is

2020-11-27 18:30:44 UTC  

He does 3 hour live streams and things get more personal I guess

2020-11-27 18:30:52 UTC  

Ah

2020-11-27 18:31:18 UTC  

Barnes, even though he is right wing, has an awareness of a centrist perspective

2020-11-27 18:31:33 UTC  

> He grew a pretty loyal following, 75 million now almost.
@Adam135 I contend that not all of them are blind followers. Not by a long shot.

2020-11-27 18:31:53 UTC  

I.e he words his stuff more ... Dunno the right words for it, professionally? Neutral?

2020-11-27 18:32:24 UTC  

Reserved?

2020-11-27 18:33:09 UTC  

> I.e he words his stuff more ... Dunno the right words for it, professionally? Neutral?
@realz That's might not be mere coincidence. It goes a long way. Some people know that.

2020-11-27 18:33:14 UTC  

Barnes is giving qanon too much credit as being not as crazy as it really is

2020-11-27 18:33:18 UTC  

They don't seem blind, they seem pretty moderately informed and have extreme skepticism for the media

2020-11-27 18:33:44 UTC  

as they should

2020-11-27 18:33:55 UTC  

I've heard him bash qanon many times quite sufficiently heh

2020-11-27 18:34:11 UTC  

Lol that doesn't leave every claim as reality until proven otherwise @Adam135

2020-11-27 18:34:41 UTC  

I almost never take any one at face value any more, I research everything

2020-11-27 18:35:18 UTC  

My point is, if faced with the same decision again in 2024 as they were in 2020, it's likely they will vote the same way

2020-11-27 18:35:23 UTC  

Yeah he is live-streaming right now and kinda hedging and saying thing like the left conspiracy theories are much worse.

Left conspiracy theories used to be like antivaxx stuff and gmos are bad. But now I see that incorporated into qanon quite heavily @realz

2020-11-27 18:36:00 UTC  

Mmm

2020-11-27 18:36:13 UTC  

Well I don't feel the need to defend qanon heh

2020-11-27 18:37:04 UTC  

What exactly is qanon saying these days?
