i hesitate to say it was manufactured, the reddit account getting exposed from years ago makes him seem more genuine to me. I suppose you could say it’s part of some grander plan from an intelligence agency but I try to steer away from that level of conspiratorial thinking.
i just think he probably has a lot of cognitive dissonance that he refuses to confront, he has always been a very weird/dumb guy, dude got himself kicked out of a gw bush rally for sneaking in an antiwar sign and shouting during it as an ~18 yo but then he joins the military a year or 2 later? i really dont understand how that can happen but then again the machinations of the mind of my fellow amerikkkans are nearly an enigma to me anyways
fwiw I think the only way for him to truly show he’s changed would to be to publicly denounce the US military in a way that would seriously damage his chances of winning the election, because i can squint and see the argument that he’s “hiding his power level” but i dont think you get to do that after serving as an imperial death squad goon
Yeah that’s the conspiracy thread I’m hesitant to tug but with no proof just a vibe it feels like the security state dabbling in left populism to get ahead of whatever chaos happens next

Exactly, he says the right things because he’s supposed to, not out of any internal growth or commitment. It feels very manufactured and it is
