The debate last week confirms we are in election season mode. This weekend I conceived of the idea of hosting "Online Trump Rallies" on my channel. I would not simply restream his rallies but create one of my own. Perhaps, have a guest speaker like Scott Pressler or Brick Suit guy, play a select portion of Trump speaking and maybe give 3 reasons at each rally to Vote Trump.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK.
Here are some thoughts about why I am torn about following through:
PROS:
I'd feel guilty if he lost and I didn't do everything I could to help him win;
Could start a trend that would have a genuine impact;
Potential channel exposure to new audience.
CONS:
I have worked hard to be fair in assessing every political figure good or bad.
To maintain transparency about good or bad in any candidate including Trump. Hosting rallies undermines a lot of of my work to display "old school" journalistic impartiality/integrity.
Its a lot of work;
Maintaining a schedule together with Baldwin trial and nightly shows could be impossible.
Im creating a cartoon intro to go with this song (or something similar) that will be played at the start of our nightly show for a minimum of 3 months.
I think it would be better if the characters in the vid were based on Diggers/Followers/Ghetto folk. You would send me a pic and I would have AI create an avatar based on that pic to pop in the vid.
I am offering different tiers of Avatar placement from:
i) Background Cameo; $25/$20
ii) Feature Prominently: $60/$50
iii) Select your activity (like dancing round a bonfire or throwing a virgin into a volcano, etc); $100/$75
and
iv) Featured as a singer singing a line from the song. ($150/$100)
As a way of thanking my regs, I offer the lower prices in those categories for people who have been Followers/Diggers/Ghetto folk for 2 years or longer. Those lower prices also apply to people who are regularly super-chatting/ranting even if they haven't been around for 2 years. (If you think you're an OG, you probably are.)
Spots are limited. ...
@JoeNierman Not Sure if you will read this but i will post it anyways.
Hinduism's the only ancient faith still going, and its many forms, Ganesha's elephant head, Hanuman the monkey, aren't separate gods. They're forms drawn from the stories, faces of one underlying reality. The texts record what people believed, not what can be proven. That's exactly why calling another faith evil from inside your own is shaky ground.
I take great offense from coming from both of you who are both religious. One Jewish and one Christian to call another religion backwards and evil. Not everyone agrees with everything.
To me, a Jewish person and a Muslim person are the same thing. I know that's not accurate, but that's how it felt before Joe explained the difference. To a layman like me, born into a Hindu and Christian family, the newer religions feel like simpler versions of the ancient ones. One god, one book, one set of rules beats juggling a whole pantheon.
The discussion was about Americans holding American ...
