2028 Poly Market Odds and the End-Stage Trump Supporter

from JD Vance, Drafted To Iran, & The End Times | The Tim Dillon Show #511 · #511

6 min

Tim runs down Polymarket odds for 2028 Democratic and Republican contenders (Ossoff, AOC, Newsom, Vance, Rubio, Tucker, even Trump at 2%), then describes the "late-stage alcoholism" energy of remaining hardcore Trump supporters, illustrated by an anecdote about his friend's father who refused to stop drinking.

In this bit10 moments
  • Trump compared to an old-time carnival barker at least being upfront about destruction.
  • Poly Market odds show Assaf at 15%, AOC at 20%, Newsom at 14% as potential Democratic nominees.
  • Republican midterm strategy: their slogan is 'it's the end times, deal with it.'
  • Tim notes Vance is at 50% in succession odds, Rubio at 20%, Tucker at 3%.
  • Donald Trump himself has only 2% odds on Poly Market for another run.
  • End-stage Trump supporters described as drunk, dancing in driveways long after block parties end, yelling at children.
  • Supporting Trump at this point is like late-stage alcoholism where it's no longer fun.
  • Story of a friend's father who refused to quit drinking, switched to clear liquor instead, died of cirrhosis three years later.
  • Modern Trump supporters are like that refusing alcoholic: doctors say stop entirely, they negotiate to 'just switch to clear.'
  • The paradox of end-stage Trump supporters: they live like it's always the end times, yet somehow keep surviving and killing others.
