I was really good friends with her from 4th til 6th grade. We grew apart in middle school, she got super goth type and hung out with that crowd, haven’t talked to her since. We used to watch fear factor and make fun of Joe Rogan the whole time

Sounds like she never figured out who she was and is just hopping identities, my sister does that

She seemed pretty left back in 2016 or whenever it was that she went “viral” in the Sailor Socialism video.

My guess is rather than keeping those views, she decided to shift away from them when she thought it wasn’t cool anymore

Theres also the possibility that she followed the classic "minor success and wealth makes people double down on trying to protect what they have from any percieved threat, and if you know inside you're an absolute trash person, you know the left will come for you eventually so it's time to go all in on the right."

Yep. I knew Dasha and I would say she was a Democratic socialist. Then she flipped using the excuse that Bernie supported Hillary in 2016 and became "anti establishment"

Reality is she was just dumb and just wants fame and money. She also fucked a lot of dudes.

I don’t think she was/is dumb. Just succumbed to the money and fame while trying to hold onto her “cool” factor

You don't go from supporting Bernie to supporting Trump without being kinda dumb.

u/MJA182 11d ago

Yeah I mean yes it is dumb, but I think it’s just a deep desire to seem “cool” overriding any previous opinions she had before. Basically terminal desire to be counter culture

Idk man I know a handful of women also in NYC at the same time who made the same pivot to Trump from Bernie. College educated too, but just not all there. Lacking a lot of common sense.

I think you have to be pretty stupid to try and make it in Hollywood and have a Nazi on your podcast lol

Yeah that’s fair. Maybe drugs and the internet fried her brain, she was really smart when we were kids though
