While I’ve honestly been trying to tune out the election shit, I was streaming the world series feed (through completely legal means I can assure you) from a Fox station in Florida. Much to my dismay, I was completely bombarded by these ads saying Trump supports amendement 3 which would legalize weed in the state. I scroll on social media for like 5 mins later on and I see this fucker on Joe Rogan.

Its a pretty clear attempt at targeting independent socially moderate/liberalish fiscally conservative independent bros that, honestly exist and could decide the election if its close. All while Kamala is really leaning into winning over “dick cheney democrats” that dont exist outside of focus groups in the beltway.

Im calling it now. Trumps winning again.

    Its not Rogan alone.

    Its a clear cut general election strategy all around to target a certain type of younger (usually also white) center right independents. The guy who smokes weed, watches MMA, still listens to Eminem, maybe voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 if at all, Says hes socially liberal and fiscally conservative but also hates trans people.

    This is a weird non voter demographic that presidential candidates usually dont touch with a ten foot pole. This definitely favors Trump in an extremely close race where any little bit could make the difference. Especially when Kamala is going after a group of voters that are already safe dems
