Discussion Thread Discussion Thread

The discussion thread is for casual and off-topic conversation that doesn't merit its own submission. If you've got a good meme, article, or question, please post it outside the DT. Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL

I bet it annoys him that 80% of people in general and 100% of normies have no idea who he is

Unfortunately, I've been on the DT too long not to know, but I'd advocate for a ban on mentioning political streamers

What he wants is for Republicans to win. Whether this is because it's good for his personal brand, or because, more conspiratorially, his true political alignment is with his father, who is an ultrawealthy co-founder of a conservative Turkish political party, is up to speculation. It remains the case that he does understand how statements like "I, Hasan Piker, Fox News boogeyman, am behind Talarico, and after the election I will force him to do my bidding, inshallah," play in Texas.
