I don't think you measure events of the last week in days or weeks.
You might not even measure them in months.
You certainly don't measure events based on tertiary insight from YouTubers and Twitterati.
Now Ted Devotee Syndrome?
I don't know how much he knows and how much he's hedging.
PS- You didn't answer my question about a Kamala Presidency. You brought her up speculating that her Presidency would have brought a safer and more stable world. How so?
The clip isn’t about the podcaster’s “insight.” It simply shows several influencers and commentators who loudly supported Donald Trump and helped promote his campaign now publicly criticizing or distancing themselves from him. That’s a real shift within the same media ecosystem that amplified him in the first place. Observing that isn’t relying on their analysis; it’s just noting that some of the people who helped build the movement are no longer fully aligned with it.
And it’s interesting that when someone on your side criticizes Trump, the reflex seems to be that they must be ignorant or “hedging.” That’s not really engaging with the criticism; it’s dismissing it or pretzelling it to fit your narrative.
As for the question about a presidency under Kamala Harris, the point isn’t that everything would be perfect. The point is that it would likely look much more like the conventional diplomatic approach the U.S. followed under Joe Biden: predictable messaging, stronger coordination with allies, and fewer erratic policy shifts.
For instance, the Biden administration prioritized rebuilding alliances through organizations like NATO, coordinated closely with the European Union, and led coalition responses to events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That approach emphasized stability and partnership.
You may disagree with those policies, but it’s hard to argue that allies generally viewed that style of leadership as chaotic or unpredictable. A Harris presidency would almost certainly have continued that general framework, something that tends to produce a calmer international perception of the U.S.
In other words, not a clown show brought to us by Donald Barnaby Ringling Circus and Cast.
