[…] Stefan Molyneux and Bill Whittle Back Again on Donald Trump […]
Great stuff. I watched a little mainstream media coverage and I sorta feel that Megyn Kelly-esque bile that the media has for him, but couldn’t really see the reason. For example, in this TyT clip the progressive host Cenk argues the reason they blur Trump’s face is that he’s not serious, he’s just scamming everyone and doesn’t really want to be president. But their mannerisms also convey a strong attitude of disapproval and “Can you believe this?” amusement.

I’m not certain if I agree yet but it does sound similar to r/K in that the r’s are supposed to act as traitors to the warrior Ks.
