why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What, you think they can focus on policy?

Are you for giving people healthcare? - no

Are you for not bombing children? - no

Are you for taxing the wealthy to redistribute to the majority? - no

Are you for making things more affordable and equitable for poor and middle class Americans? - no

Then what are you for?

MEN IN WOMENS SPORTS, VACCINES BAD, EDUCATION BAD, WOKE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY, THEYRE MAKING THE FUCKING FROGS GAY, PEDOPHILES NEED PROTECTION, THINK OF THE POOR BILLIONAIRES, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE RIGHT? FLOCK CAMERAS SHOULD BE INSIDE YOUR HOMES, DATA CENTERS IN YOUR BACKYARD, GIVE ME YOUR SWEET SWEET DATA, WE LISTEN TO YOUR CONVERSATIONS THROUGH YOUR TV --Your average conservative

I'm legitimately not sure whether, as Hasan Piker, I'd feel more like I'd made it (to some extent you can judge a person by the quality of their enemies) or if I'd worry more about stochastic terrorism.

I've watched some of Hasan's reactions to this, and it mostly just seems like he thinks the RNC is sad and obsessed with him. He doesn't need their attention and he's certainly not afraid of them
