If he doesn’t know what the trolley problem is and somebody asked him about it - I bet he’d google to learn what the polling was. I’ve mentioned it before but he has one of the worst cases of polling brain I’ve ever seen. It’s fascinating to me.

American politics is a land of contrasts: liberal ghouls, centrist ghouls, republican ghouls, libertarian ghouls, and ghouls who get angry at “labels”. And it’s like an HBO series that’s 100 hours long and has 100s of ghouls in important roles.
Edit; I might be thinking of Eric Garland
I remember his name from years ago when I used to listen to cth. All I can remember about it is that they made a lot of fun of him. Maybe he was super-pro Hillary? In any case - I think he went full MAGA.

Yeah for some reason I keep confusing Garland with Sargent. It’s been happening for decades.
Garland becoming a MAGA fascist, wow who could have seen that coming
