One washed up celeb endorsing another. So weird.

The crab bucket effect is when people try to prevent others from escaping a bad situation.

What's the opposite of that, where bad people try to lift each other up in ways such that almost nobody would want any of them to succeed?

It's desperation before the curtain closes for them forever.

Dumpy is old enough that it's almost time.

Hoagie aint too far off either given that he's in his 70s and very tall, which tends to give you health issues as you get older.

It really is desperation. There's a reason why this wasn't going on in 2016-2020 for the most part. Only after losing the election did truth social come out (2022.) The money grab bible also came in 2021, after he lost.
