Topics
Dave Smith认为,如果2024年美国总统大选公平公正地举行,特朗普很可能击败哈里斯。但他对选举的公平性表示担忧,并认为强大的既得利益集团可能阻止特朗普再次入主白宫。他还探讨了如果哈里斯获胜,特朗普的支持者可能会认为选举舞弊,这将是美国政治格局巨大变化的体现。他认为,从长远来看,哈里斯胜选可能导致右翼人士更加反体制,这可能是对自由和繁荣更有利的局面。他还分析了特朗普执政期间的不足之处,以及他再次当选可能带来的负面影响。 Dave Smith还讨论了以色列问题,认为民粹主义右翼运动必须直面这个问题,不能回避或含糊其辞。他批评了Charlie Kirk和Vivek Ramaswamy对以色列游说团体AIPAC问题的回避,以及他们将批评转向其他国家,认为这是他们试图逃避问题的一种表现。他认为,如果民粹主义右翼运动想要保持其信誉,就必须直面以色列问题,不能回避或将批评转向其他群体。 Robbie Bernstein则表达了不同观点,认为特朗普可能在某些方面做得比拜登更好,例如乌克兰战争和移民政策。他还指出,奥巴马执政期间枪支销量创下新高,这表明即使总统对枪支管控的立场强硬,也可能导致枪支销量增加。他认为,切尼夫妇支持哈里斯,是向军工复合体示好,而非争取选民。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why might it be better for right-wingers and libertarians if Joe Biden won in 2020?

Joe Biden's presidency could have allowed right-wingers and libertarians to see the flaws in the system more clearly, leading to a stronger anti-statist movement.

Why does Dave Smith think Donald Trump's presidency could lead to a political realignment?

Trump's presidency could make right-wingers deeply anti-statist, questioning the legitimacy of elections, media, government, spies, and the military.

Why does Dave Smith find Jon Stewart's questioning of Kamala Harris's association with Dick Cheney compelling?

Jon Stewart's questioning highlights the absurdity of Kamala Harris using Dick Cheney's endorsement as a badge of honor, given Cheney's controversial past.

Why does Dave Smith criticize Charlie Kirk's response to the question about AIPAC?

Charlie Kirk's response avoids addressing the specific concerns about AIPAC's influence and instead questions the motives of the questioner, which Smith finds evasive and weak.

Why does Dave Smith believe the question about AIPAC is reasonable?

The question about AIPAC is reasonable because it addresses a significant foreign influence apparatus that spends millions to oust politicians not sufficiently pro-Israel.
