The System is Down with Dan Smotz

65: Leftist SJW Maniac Changes His Mind w. Tyler Baggins

The question of the day is… What would it take for you to change your mind?… We all have deep set beliefs on everything from politics, to religion, to social issues, to conspiracies, and beyond. I would encourage you to question why it is that you believe what you believe and what evidence to the contrary it would take for you to believe the opposite.

The question of the day is… What would it take for you to change your mind?… We all have deep set beliefs on everything from politics, to religion, to social issues, to conspiracies, and beyond. I would encourage you to question why it is that you believe what you believe and what evidence to the contrary it would take for you to believe the opposite.

 

My guest today is a great example of the of value of having an open mind. You might not know him by name just yet. You might know him as “Unhinged Backflipping #NeverTrump Activist”. Tyler Baggins is a man who tasted some internet fame when a video of him angrily screaming at Trump supporters and failing to land a backflip outside a Trump rally went viral. This video was shared around by outlets like Infowars and Vice and quite often understandably used as an example of the irrationality of the hard leftist protesters.

 

But that was then…. and now…. Tyler is a Trump supporter. *gasp*

That’s right, Tyler has done his own digging kept an open mind and done a 180 on his political views.

 

My interest in having Tyler on was not because he’s a Trump supporter, but because I find it fascinating when anyone believes one way so strongly and end up changing their views when new information is presented to them. That is a quality that is grossly lacking in today’s social structure. In a world where everyone is telling you to be mad and hate people of of different beliefs, we need a lot more open minded maniacs like Tyler Baggins.

 

So what made him change his mind? Is he really an attention seeking troll? Does he use the same angry tactics to protest for the other side now? All of that and more on today’s episode of The System is Down “Leftist SJW Maniac Changes His Mind w. Tyler Baggins”.

Question Everything and Stay Uncomfortable 

Let's get weird!
