    I agree that Jesse Ventura is an unhinged loon, but I have to give my proper respects to that Jesse Ventura is an unhinged loon with strong moral convictions. He believes racism is wrong, that gay marriage should be legal, and that we should see eachother for who we really are instead of hiding behind manufactured machismo (which is such a fucking wild stance for a professional wrestler). I don’t think Jesse Ventura is a hero, because he’s too detached from reality to be one, but I do think he knows a when someone is like Donald Trump, Pat Buchanan, or David Duke is completely morally bankrupt, and for that I respect him.

      He shot down alex jones about people crossing the border and using social programs they shouldnt by brining up that it’s really the fault of the system for being broken and not the people for using every tool they are given

        This is what I mean. The core values at the center of Jesse Ventura are good ones, and he doesn’t let people bully others. He also believes some really weird shit is true that isn’t. But like. Man. He’d be a really good person to run around town with. He’d always take the right side on the big issues and when you’re drinking or getting high he’d say some shit that would be really fun to talk about even if you’re taking it less serious than him. But he’s at his core not someone to follow. But I’ll grant him the title of “someone to emulate.” You can bring his brand of strong willed kindness to your conception if what it means to operate in America. He’s someone who understands the broad strokes of what’s going on and what people are about. If you grew up watching Jesse Ventura and thought he was really cool: I have good news. You’re right. Its my official stance thay Jesse Ventura is really cool
