Mike Rowe isn’t a progressive, though I wouldn’t call him a hard-core MAGA supporter either. He’s a media figure who’s attentive to the working class, hosting numerous series about labor in America, including the Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs. He’s also a narrator for numerous programs on that network, like Deadliest Catch.
Rowe isn’t a fan of socialism either. That doesn’t make him conservative, as you know, but the people upset about his lengthy post criticizing the democratic socialist agenda seem oblivious to that. Democratic socialism causes the same kind of misery for its people, except they vote for it. See, it’s different; they give you options from which to choose. It’s communism with extra steps. His post is epic, which our friends at Twitchy posted about:
Not the way I planned on spending my afternoon, but 7,600 comments should not be ignored! Bots, trolls and personal attacks notwithstanding, the critics of yesterday’s post were dominated by a large and vocal contingent who rushed to remind me that there’s “a difference between socialism and communism,” an obvious indication that they didn’t actually read the post.
Shelley Armour writes… “Mike! You know there is a difference between democratic socialism and communism, right?”
Hi, Shelley. Yes, I know there’s a difference, and I understand what the difference is. The larger point, and the fundamental flaw with your comment, is that you seem to believe the candidates within the Democratic Socialist Party are both “democratic and socialist" simply because that’s the name of their club. Well, maybe some of them are. I really couldn’t say. What I can tell you for sure is that more than a few have called for the complete dismantling of capitalism, free markets, representative government, property rights, borders, police, prisons, and the Constitution in general....

Mike Rowe, MAGA conservative or not, is a better person than every single one of his detractors. I have been in some of the “jobs” he has described and they wouldn’t brave their pinkie finger into some of the places he has been.
Mike Rowe for President! He can do all the dirty jobs like cleaning house of Deep Staters.
Why not go straight to the, ah, expert?
His honesty and logic is going to trigger the left liberal Democrats across the board. They can’t take facts and truth when it opposes their narrative.
CAN YOU IMAGINE TEAMING MIKE ROWE WITH ELON MUSK & TURNING THEM LOOSE???
We are stuck with the losers who actually spend their whole lives moving up the food chain for the job. Mainly lawyers. I want someone for president who doesn’t want the job. Like Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator.
It’s like when I tell people to go read The Doctrine of Fascism by Mussolini after they call Trump a fascist. They never do or will.

The body count depends upon their BMIs and perhaps mean height.
A ton.
So that would be about 10 average weight males or 6-2/3 rosie o’donulds?
Excellent post.
Ayn Rand could sniff out the con artists a mile away...
As I heard it..:
A socialist shoots you in the back, a communist shoots you in the face.
I foresee trouble on the near horizon at the Borough Of Weights and Measures. Is this a ton of kindergartners or a ton of linebackers?
A Socialist drives the car off the cliff in third gear. A Communist drives the car off the cliff in fourth gear.
A Socialist allows a man into women’s locker rooms. A Communist forces a woman into men’s locker rooms.
The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. Of course the Communists are going to call themselves Socialists.
