(42,862 posts)He's acting in his own self interests... trying to portray himself as some sort of brilliant political genius with "self-fulfilling" prophesies.
In reality he's just a cynic trying to pass off his juvenile rants as wisdom. And his "fans" just lap it up and perpetuate his negativity and pessimism.
In the end, he always reminds me of one of these TV psychics like Edwards or Browne. Their "misses" are always forgotten and never spoken of again, but the occasional "hit" (or even coming close to the target) are perpetually touted and trotted out as "evidence" of their abilities... as if they know what they're doing or have some special powers of perception.
Michael Moore is a complete FRAUD! He's a grifter. (And he's as big of an asshole and jerk as West and Sarandon and Uygur.)
But when it comes right down to it, here's what I'm trying to point out... His doom and gloom "predictions" and lies only serve to create an atmosphere of negativity: Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
Fuck Michael Moore!
