Sorry, had to do a reality check on that one.

Noam Chomsky does not support Donald Trump. In fact, Chomsky has been a vocal critic of Trump on numerous occasions. He has often criticized Trump's policies, approach to governance, and the overall impact of his presidency on both domestic and global issues. Chomsky, known for his progressive and leftist viewpoints, sees Trump's administration as detrimental to many aspects of society, including democracy, the environment, and international relations.

Yeah I've been a consistent critic as well and I agree with all of Gnumeo's points. The MIC is in absolute full swing w the DNC, transition of neocons complete with the Cheneys. On brink of WW3 as we type

It is hilarious to me that we just read several paragraphs on how Trump could change his mind and transform but that the Cheney would finally say enough with this dangerous fool is a bridge too far.

I read the other Naomi’s book, so no thanks plus today’s 9/20/24 headlines are a doozy

Ah, the old “They’re going to start WW3” line. For how many election cycles have we heard someone say that about their opponents?

I miswrote -- Dems already started WW3 with recent moves related to Ukraine. I should have written nuclear annihilation. That is a risk that continues to escalate by the day

Thanks for speaking up. You beat me and I'm sure many others to it. Chomsky is a vanishing breath of fresh air.

Chomsky was a big fan of the vaccines and government forced intervention- he’s lost his way.

He's old, directly in the covid killing group, and was terrified. So...

That doesn't change at all the brilliance of the decades of his previous work.

I was disappointed with him too over the covid fear porn reaction, but it IS understandable with a tad of compassion.

Kinda seems like you're othering Chomsky.

Thanks for posting what I was just about to post. He lost me over all that as did all leftists and others who promoted the same.

I just tapped my good friend Chat GPT for that one!

I DID NOT say "Chomsky supports Trump". What I said was "The issue is that he is LESS LIKELY TO BLOW THE ENTIRE WORLD UP than his main opponent.

That means a great deal. Even Chomsky agrees - hardly a MAGA fan."

Chomsky, like many intelligent people, recognises that it is perfectly possible to despise BOTH major parties. And to see different policies. He certainly will not be "supporting Trump", but I also can't see him supporting the current US regime that has brought us closer to WW3 than the Cuban Missile Crisis... SEVERAL times in just the past 3 years.

And as K'mala is nothing but an empty air-head riding a wave constructed for her - even more than Zelensky!! - there will be a continuation of disasterous and (planetary) suicidal policies.

As I clearly said, Chomsky is not a MAGA fan - but nor is he a Demonrat fan.
