The guy's a moderate liberal, he's vocal about that in almost every video. Yet somehow people are acting like last week he suddenly stopped being a loyal Trump supporter.
He's a grifter who claims otherwise. A fair-weather "friend" who purports to espouse the classical liberal values, but when push comes to shove completely cans his values for the sweet coin.
I voted for Trump in 2016, but it was more for the meme. Didn’t become a true Trump support until 2018.
I’ve been watching Tim since he was at around 100k subscribers back in 2017 I think? Here’s what I can tell you. He was the slowest red pill in media by far. If you know his story, he left MSM because they were trying to force him to push a narrative. He didn’t want to. He left and started his own thing.
Tim has been very clear since the beginning that he is a fence sitter that mainly leans left, but is more a skateboarder liberal, which a left anti-authoritarian. More like a classic liberal.
What he has never changed on is calling out the MSM machine. Why I liked him was that he would do commentary on why certain news was bs and explain why it was bs.
He would criticize Trump, but in a fair way and did the same for the left. He’s the one that helped me see and become redpilled. I’m from the Bay Area, CA, so I was a default liberal. He was never a fan of Trump but he would credit Trump when he did good, something the MSM never did. He would call out the lies. And overtime he slowly began finding himself only really criticizing democrats because they were telling endless lies & the MSM was covering for them. That’s what he truly hates. He supported Trump for an enemy of my enemy kind of thing.
But he helped wake me up completely because I wasn’t much of a fan of the RINO commentators. Basically he was perfect for me because I felt like I became an independant out of nowhere. I would consider myself an anti-authoritarian liberal. I strongly believe in Free-thinking, but equally love my country, the founding values & principles of our country, and value free market enterprise.
What Tim did was help me look critically at the very media that all of my peers would regurgitate. He helped me see why they were doing and how they did it.
So yeah, do I think he should have stood his ground on his values and not backed down when this fraudulent election went down? Yes. But am I surprised? No. He’s always been a fence sitter, but fence sitting is precisely why he’s good at what he does. You need someone who’s not entirely on your side, but calling out the lies and teaching people how to see it. I’m full MAGA now, but I imagine he helped accomplish that for many other people too.
I’ve been watching him less and reading here a lot more, but he serves a good purpose. When the time came, he’s still a fence sitter. But I think he’s also very aware of how much control YouTube has over him. He’s very good at dancing on the line that stops him from getting outright banned. He got a fuck ton of traction this last year. So you can criticize and it would be totally valid, but you can’t view him as a MAGA patriot, but you can view him as someone trying to take down the MSM, which is also important work.
I’m not asking you to like or support him, I’m only giving you more context to not hating him.
The attacks on Tim Pool are even worse.
