After playing a clip of Erika Kirk vowing to elect JD Vance, Tim says the whole Turning Point movement has curdled into personality-driven grudges rather than ideas, contrasting it unfavorably with the more mature-seeming far left.
- Tim on Erika Kirk's speech about JD Vance: if you're a normal human being, this gives you pause—it's a grotesque display of the quest for raw power led by his widow, 90 days after his assassination.
- The movement is descending into something about personalities and people rather than ideas, becoming boring in the process.
- Tim observes that watching these people air personal grudges and engage in back-and-forth banter feels small and petty.
- The Trump stuff used to be fun, but now it's dark and the whole thing has degenerated.
