He may have blind spots and self deception, but my word, he is charismatic, and comes across so well.
He’s a brilliant speaker. He speaks with far more depth than any politician generally … for me, it’s still difficult to tell what’s true because he is simply so good on camera

I believe he is sincere. He is a guy that went through countless psychedelic journeys. I followed him since the beginning of his public appearances. He admits he doesn't know what will happen but has faith. Nobody knows what will happen right now and most are polarized. I feel like we all need to depolerize to some degree and we'll be alright. Whatever will happen will happen I will try to remain centered. If the world goes to shit at least we can do it gracefully 💚

He is definitely a great speaker l, he's got like 20 years in the game, I will give him that. I guess the difficulty is not getting taken in the by the charisma and actually look at what he's saying plainly. I think if you read a transcript of what he said it would be hard to take him seriously but his charisma papers of the inconsistency gaps

Not really a fan of Aubrey, was following him to research him years ago... I found the video of him to be good, he seems genuine for sure, his tone did seem a bit like a Religious figure, but I know he is not one.. I basically agree with what he had to say, we are very polarized and this is due to absorbing information from bias sources with agendas, and all the sources one can find are bias, doesn't matter where it comes from, so in the end one has to look at Trump, and then make Up your own mind of what he is about, as Aubrey said he is not perfect but I don't see how a man like  him, with all his already established Wealth and Fame, is a super phony and into becoming President for his own super selfish reasons, its too much hassle too much work for him to do it, so he has to have other reasons for sure. but ppl are blinded by their programed prejudice from al the Bias sources, and are not making up their own minds...

A simple teenager understands why a villain would want to be leader of the free world. You have to be mentally handicapped to not get this, and if you are, I'm sorry, I mean no offense. 

I think you've got much work to do my friend. 

Why would a villain want to be leader of the free world? Can you think of any reasons? 

My guess is you'll now want to pivot to "he's not a villain" and scrap your whole "it doesn't make sense for him to put so much energy into it unless he really cared about things" argument.

People say he's an asshole and not PC but it's really a distraction, which gives the impression you're making a criticism but in reality you're actually not addressing the most egregious things that he's done and aspects of his personality. 

I understand the sentiment of wanting more clarity in politics and on the face of it I do agree. However Trump is not truthful, when people say they want truth and point to Trump it suggests to me that what they really want is someone to identify what they're worried about, which Trump does, and then provide a solution, which Trump doesn't do. What Trump does do is convince them that he can solve these problems, which is dishonest. The truth for example with inflation is that yes it's higher but the US is doing much better than every other developed nation. Unemployment is also at its lowest, Trump had said the opposite on both these issues and then claimed he can solve the non-existent issue. So no he's not honest. 

People priortise politicians that make them feel good rather than truth, it has always been this way but I think Trump has taken it to another level. 

The nature of government is to govern people.  Very much like how medical doctors save peoples lives but they do not make people healthy.  You can go down a long list with every politician including Obama of not delivering, for instance, how the poor got poorer, particularly among black people.  Harris gave a speech that she supports Muslims and then on the next day, she speaks to Jewish people telling them she will find Israel in their fight with Hamas.   The two largest transfer of wealth have been under the democratic party, this is because progressive minded people tend to get educated and get good jobs in california and new york which are democratic states.  Biden and Kamala happen to keep saying the economy is great for the last 3 years.  This is not true and its not even their fault, its the endless printing that is the problem. Money printed since Obama.    
I dont think this problem has to do with political ideology but rather just my chance.  Fundamentally people are selfish and are too busy to focus on others.

Its clear that a lot of people has been captured by some weird ideology and see Trump as a vilain. To me one of the best videos Leo has ever made was the one on ideology. He should probably watch it himself at this point.

I don’t see it since he wasn't a vilain in his last presidency and he hasn't started his new presidency yet. Its like your all nostradamus and already know what is going to happen. I don’t know whats going to happen maybe he is going to be a vilain or maybe not. I have faith everything is going to be fine though just like last time.

I sure as hell was a lot less worried during his presidency then during Bidens.

Well Said..

Some ppl around here are like Monday Morning Quarter Backs, they think they know what is the right thing to do, or who is what to a very high degree of Certainty, which is a aspect of Over Confidence in one's self, which leads to Blindness... If all of You that think You know what is what, why are You not in Government or in leadership positions, maybe You are but I bet You are not... 

In the End we don't know what will happen, I'm not a Trump Supporter, I'm anti Establishment, I think the whole thing is corrupt, the system is broken its obvious as things are not getting better for the masses but worse, our economic system no longer works in this environment, nor does our education system or medical/health system, everything has to transform.. The only thing I do know is the Raising of Human Consciousness is the primary fix and cure for all of this...

You say he’s not a villain. Others say he is. Someone is very wrong. Who do you think it is? 

Here’s a quick heuristic for you to easily find the answer. How flawed have you noticed your own thinking throughout your life? Have you noticed you were wrong about many things? Have you been called wise, intelligent, and a good thinker by many? Would you say that you have high integrity? 

Now, realize this: how many intelligent, wise, and integrous people have you seen for Trump? 

My all-time favorite video from Leo is the one on self-bias. It’s like 3 hours long. Have you sat through it and wished you could see your selfishness and tried like hell to identify how you deceive yourself? If you do, you might find your position on Trump exists for reasons other than being founded on good sense-making. Are you ready to see what aspect of yourself you’re blindly serving?

All of America is like that, but a Neanderthal would actually be smart enough not to believe in fairy tales and see them as salvation.

[zazen]

The reason the left may not learn from their mistakes is evident on this forum. Calling people kids, childish, brain rotten, neanderthal - for even trying to understand the other side or suggesting there are kernels of half truths with plenty of false truths attached to it. Populism is simply when the ruling class loses popularity with the populace due to elitist detachment - which the left have excelled in with their progressive politics. This is a battle between detached progressivism and dark populism.

Not all populism is facism, but most facists are populist - facism hijacks populism and rides its wave turning it destructive. Populism isn't inherently good or bad - its a force of the disenfranchised, that can be twisted towards toxic ends to create dark populism. We shouldn't confuse populism with what it can become, but should be wary of it going dark. Instead of carrying a nation to renewal it can bring it to ruin.

This 2024 election result wasn't populism's first appearance, as we had seen it in 2016. But progressive detached politics means power has slipped more and more through the establishments fingers, as we can see across the West. People don't trust the current order or the establishment that's presided over it. People will only trust or believe in an outsider, or a insider who acknowledges outsiders and doesn't play by the establishments rules in order to create change. The problem is of power getting into the wrong hands, and Trump isn't the best of hands. Most people are aware of this - but will over look his flaws because they feel they have nothing to lose as the status quo is bad anyway.

They'd rather bet on the only figure speaking to them and of their concerns. Whilst Kamala is speaking on using the peoples tax money to provide trans gender affirmative care to prison inmates. People see these progressive talking points and policies which focus on less than 1% of the population - and conclude the left don't have their priorities straight. 

People are conflicted siding with the Republicans due to Trump being flawed and divisive, and the extreme elements of his support base. People are caught between wanting populism yet fearing it or what it could turn into, between rejecting establishment and being wary of who's promising to renew it but who will only ruin it in reckless abandon.

Populism is about handing power down, not up. But the question is in who catches the torch - a leader who'll bring light or darkness.

I would tend to agree. There's a reaction occurring in some that coincides with an awful lot of name calling and presumptions of superiority. It's nothing new in the political world, but it's been cranked up to 11 lately. I believe I've been able to make all my points without once resorting to insults, and I fail to see how the alternative is the preferred way.

It seems like a lot of people on the left have ramped up their rhetoric, resorting to name-calling and accusations of superiority as a way to shut down debate. It’s almost as if they think being loud and aggressive automatically makes them right. Meanwhile, you’ve managed to make your points with respect and reason, while they just fling insults like it’s an Olympic sport. But hey, if throwing tantrums and labeling people is the new standard for being “enlightened,” then I guess we should all go back to preschool and start over.

It's understandable that there'd be increased emotions at a time like this, but I feel like there has to be a better way to process the situation. It's somewhat paradoxical too, because many of those who sling the insults are also well-developed on an intellectual level. There must be some other factor influencing their judgment on how they should act.

I believe it has to do with the fact that we tend to paint the left as more emotional than the right, and somehow, this has brainwashed the left into believing it. It becomes a pattern, and it starts to shape their reality in how they express themselves. Never underestimate the power of brainwashing; it’s a very powerful thing. And of course, a brainwashed person can’t see that they are brainwashed. It would take a miracle for them to realize it.
