  • To expand on that, I think these are people looking to set themselves up for continued grifting in the post-Trump fascist movement. Being just critical enough “of the Trump campaign” now will allow them to say they jumped ship in August 2024 without actually committing to abandoning Trump until after the election. They want to be in a position to claim they were ahead of the curve due to their astute political acumen. But don’t want the short term fall out from actually doing it, nor the potential risk of being proven wrong in November.

    It’s a transparent move, but it’ll be effective on the post-Trump MAGA base, as these are generally not bright people.

    This is awesome of him to do. And as an aside, Robert J. Sawyer’s Neaderthal Parallax trilogy is one of my favorite sci-fi trilogies ever. It’s about a team of Canadian physicists who accidentally open a portal to an earth in a parallel universe where Neanderthals became the dominant species on the planet. The series explores how their modern society may have evolved and how their technological and social development may have differed from our own. I highly recommend it for fans of hard sci-fi and alternative history.
