If Fred was A Trump supporter and Barney expressed another view would Fred have threatened violence?
Would Barney have somehow brought Fred around to a modern stone age point of view Trump=bad?
I think so and so what America needs is a Barney for president, or does Barney go bad with power?
Yes. And he will send Bam-Bam to break your knee caps.

Fred would belong to whatever party could deliver free beer and brontosaurus burgers - his self-interest is pretty evident. Given that, I suspect he’d be a left-leaning independent.
He wouldn’t likely be a Trumpist, since Barney - a flaming liberal if ever there was one - remained a steadfast friend.
Barney appeared to have no political aspirations, so I doubt he’d allow himself to be drafted onto any ticket. He’s also not an American citizen.

I knew things yesterday that I no longer know today.

People are looking for an episode of Oprah from 1988 with Donald Trump. Specifically because he apparently claimed that, if he were to run for President, he’d do do as a Republican because, well,
Bizarrely, BlameItOnJorge neglected to mention one crucial fact: even if most of the spiel he gave was genuine, the part about Fox News almost certainly couldn’t have been part of it. The Fox News channel wouldn’t even go on air for eight more years after this episode. And, unless the local affiliate Fox Network news had grown a reputation as a right-wing cesspool in less than a year after the network’s official launch, there’s no way he would have mentioned it.

Why does that get kudos?
Surely that belongs in the "What did you know that you don't know today" thread
Most,,, probably all of the posts there are "things"
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Contrary to popular belief, I only control half of their impulses to click the kudos button toward me.

This is probably both the best and the worst kid’s show on TV:
It’s probably the best because, well, how can something with a time traveling wheelchair (piloted by a granny who’s apparently schtupped half of America’s presidents) that can turn into a DJ booth that shoots dinosaurs be bad?
And it’s probably the worst because, well, it’s hard to give kudos to a show that does shit like arguing that you should have to earn your basic, lowest-tier Maslovian needs; endorsing drinking raw, unpasteurized, and pathogen-laden milk; blatantly whitewashing history; and encouraging kids to invest in Bitcoin.
