58. That's exactly what he is...

A libertarian. He's said so more than once. I do truly think the only reason he "supports" Democrats is for the sake of his pot being legal. He sure doesn't seem to have anything nice to say about any vulnerable groups. He couldn't hide his misogyny in 2016 over Hillary. He loves to tell LGBTQ's and others to be quiet about their "pet issues" and stay out of the way. He can't even hide his dislike for children.

I honestly think if a pro-pot Republican (not a Pol Pot Republican) came along, he'd gladly ditch the whole charade and back them. Because he agrees with the QOP far more often than he disagrees with the Democrats, especially on social matters.

Yet, somehow, he has fooled so many people into think he's a good guy and on our side...

I've never understood his type of humor and wonder how he became so popular. Frustratedlady May 2022 #1
