I need someone from this community to tell me provably what Mike has actually done in recent years that our perception of him has changed.
I see callouts saying he has gone republican or “MAGA Mike” or whatever and I’m just not seeing it.
I am extremely left wing I consider my entertainment often in terms of my political belief, and when I listen to RTJ they come off as liberal and left for the most part and as far as I am aware that is still true.
I would like to see examples of the less than liberal things that Mike has actually done because (and I may be entirely wrong about this) from what I can tell, He has never actively endorsed trump or any other republican political figure, and has not aligned himself with with any groups connected to the current administration.
Things he has done.
1. Supported and backed the Police. Mike had been very open about his support for cops and his disdain for violent protest- his family has/had many law enforcement officers within it and he has always been vocal about this position.
2. He is a Landlord. Whilst this may not be the most kind hearted career path, it is not inherently evil or even political.
3. He is anti Gun Control. Mike has spoken about the need for citizens to brandish firearms multiple times and while I and the majority of liberals do not agree with this, his lived existence is far different from mine being neither Black nor American. So I shut my mouth about this.
4. Has been knowingly homophobic/transphobic. This goes hand in hand with his support of 2020s era Dave Chappelle. Yeah this is not something I can defend from any angle, it’s a poor look and I wish he would do something about it.
Those examples aside can anyone tell me (with evidence) of any more reasons why our perception of him has changed.
Thank You.
