2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

I’m not mocking I’m being serious. If The Rock ran on something similar to Bernie’s platform he would landslide Trump and or any Republican that runs in 2028.

The Rock would be the perfect avatar for a resurgent democrat party in 2028.

Liberal Masculine outsider who would make populist leftist policies seem common sense centrist

Picking the Rock to run in 2028 when his likability is currently at its lowest since he hit the mainstream is exactly the out of touch move I could see the DNC pulling

How is his likability low? Wrestling fans don’t count

Lol wrestling fans will never turn on Rocky. The general public has caught on to the fact The Rock is a corporate puppet. Some of its small shyt like being an egomaniac on movie sets and being fake like this:

Why Dwayne Johnson is a phony - The Quinnipiac Chronicle

Johnson posted a video to his Instagram of him going to In-N-Out, which he claimed to be visiting for the first time. In summary, the video shows Johnson going through a couple of In-N-Out drive-thrus and people being amazed to see someone so famous. He took a couple of pictures, tipped handsomely and pretty much exuded “look-how-famous-I-am” energy the whole time.

In other words, he stroked his own ego. He wrote in the caption of said video “Loved everyone’s positive vibes and ‘holy shyt it’s the rock’ energy.”

Seems arrogant enough, but the problem is Johnson lied about something as innocuous as going to In-N-Out for the first time. He posted on Instagram on Feb. 23, 2017 saying that was his first time at In-N-Out too.

And again on Aug. 1, 2022, Johnson claimed he had In-N-Out again for the first time, pairing it with his very own Teremana tequila.

Others I'd consider more important like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's 2024 Controversy Explained

The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one that I thought was the best decision for me at that time. I thought, 'I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence and share: This is who I’m going to endorse.' I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that. But what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts, which is division. That got me. I didn’t realize that then. I just felt like there was a lot of unrest and I’d like things to calm down."

And because traditional media doesnt cover ever man heres the perspective of popular commentary channels that cacs enjoy

His movies have been flopping. People think he's a phony.

The Rock for President as a Dem would be a fitting send off for the Democratic Party, tbh.

Nominating a Republican is their dream.

Trump has shown hit pieces don’t matter. If The Rock runs on a populist platform he landslides IMO.

Trump has shown that voters want an avatar who can be seen as the protagonist leader of a movement

Movies in general are flopping for the most part. Trump wasn’t breaking any ratings records for the apprentice

You think anyone left of chairman Mao or Joseph Stalin are Republicans.

He endorsed Biden

No Trump showed the power of weaponizing misinformation, voter apathy, and the Dems tendency to assume minorities will just vote for them + voter suppression out the ass

Plus The Rock is not the guy you seem to think he is, your perception on him is lagging behind this recent shift. If you had suggested Batista or even Cena, also a corporate puppet but without being in every other summer blackbuster for thd past 10 years, I wouldn't have said anything. But America is tired of smelling Rock's yearly action fest in the jungle where he never loses a fight, he'd need to do some PR that seems genuine to shake his new reputation

Your criticism is benign compared to Trump’s reputation.

If The Rock ran on an updated 2016 Bernie platform, you wouldn’t be excited to vote for him?

If he ran as the guy that’s gonna take down the oligarchy by raising their taxes out the ass, you wouldn’t be excited for his candidacy?

People don’t give a fukk about character anymore. It’s about being an avatar for a movement and someone like The Rock would be perfect for it.

Didn’t know that but like I said he could run on common sense centrism but his policies are populist

 

[88m3]

he didn't allow their boy putin to run roughshod over ukraine which isn't a real country and just a creation of the west.

Apparently. I actually caught one of them trying to blame NATO for Ukraine yesterday when Putin has directly said himself that his motivations were "historical". More people are out here willings to embrace fascism than one would think.

 

[wire28]

I'm confused.

Are talking about the centrists or the "Bernie woulda won " contingent? Cause this criticism applies to both.

But white daddy Bernie would have saved us
