    I remember when people were so excited to elect this guy.

    Yeah, because he was running against Mehmet Oz, who is RFKJR with medical credentials, somehow, and a disgrace to all turks everywhere.

    Fun fact, my dad tried to paint him as a turkish role model/aspirational figure, back when he was more well known for surgery and being on Oprah.

          Seeing as how there are always designated no votes in the Democratic Party at the Federal level, and you’ve seen this since the 90’s, I don’t think the TBI is the reason why he’s voting conservative. He’s getting personally enriched, just like all the other rotating villains.

            I gauge things through his spouse and how she was a large part of his popularity and momentum on the campaign trail, especially after the stroke and the primary.

            So on some level people were kind of voting for her. And she’s pretty much disappeared.

              Interesting.

              I’d honestly never heard about that detail before. I’ll have to read more about him.
