        I like you, you’re a great poster here, but it’s wild to pretend that “just a steamer” means they’re unimportant nowadays. We’re not far from a streamer president in CURRENT YEAR, the amount of influence is incredible. I don’t like that fact, but hey, I gotta adapt.

          It’s basically impossible to have a streamer president in 2026.

          Maybe the democrats could have one in 2028 but why compete with the reality star republicans in a race to the bottom?

            I think a race to the bottom is the only way in the US… shit, anything is better than the opposition they try to throw at the party of evil lawl

            I wasn’t saying streamer president immediately, but we’re for sure on track for streamer president by 2040. People love entertainer presidents (I mean…) and “streamer” or “YouTuber” is far more recognized as a parasocial-able figure to latch onto than “traditional media guy” at this point.

            Edit: oh! I meant “In CURRENT YEAR we’re not far from a streamer president” rather than “we will have one right now”—I’m sorry for my bad verbiage in my other comment!
