1 minTim compares the current political landscape to Game of Thrones with no clear good guys, predicting AOC will eventually be torn down the way Bernie Sanders was after allegations against his campaign staff.
- 2:49Game of Thrones appeals to Tim because there's no clear good guy—just chaos with families competing for power, which mirrors current politics.
- 3:04Trump, the media, the left, and Hollywood are all bad actors; Tim can't identify anyone trustworthy enough to hold power.
- 3:16Even saints on the left eventually fall—Bernie Sanders had sexual assault in his camp and became a rapist in the narrative.
- 3:33Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being beatified now, but she'll inevitably be attacked by her own side at some point.
- 3:49Both sides don't need to do anything; they just cannibalize and attack themselves in what amounts to a civil war.
