The Kamala Harris campaign is said to have falsely claimed "Mr Pool is promoting a 'plan to give Trump total, unchecked legal power so they can jail and execute those who don't support Trump if he wins".

Rather, he has been critical of both Trump and Harris. Under a dramatically improved definition of center as "Left-wing is for social freedoms but also for economic restraints, while right-wing is for economic freedoms but for social restraints", Tim Pool is most certainly a centrist as being for both social and economic freedoms, with a preference for only small amounts of social and economic restraint of various kinds.
Tim Pool is seeking damages for higher security measures needed to fight off the people who often put death threats against him as a result of comments like those by the Harris campaign. Despite being mostly a centrist, the death threats are by almost entirely leftist individuals.
He may have have been centrist years ago when he was working for Vice, but he's about as right wing as it gets these days. Anti-trans, anti-immigration, pushes the right wing victim complex, he was one of the
top 20 spreaders of baseless conspiracy theories on the 2020 election on social media, oh and he was literally being paid $100k per episode by Russia to help Trump get elected up until like 2 weeks ago.
That's not "arguably center-right", that's right-wing MAGAtard.
Like the neighboring comment you're left-right compass seems a bit skewed. Why is being neutral on someone being trans "anti-trans"? Tim Pool invites trans people as guests on his show, so I disagree that would be considered anti-trans.
If a guy with a long history of calling calling people pedophiles and groomers because they are gay or trans or are against removing books from schools because of lgbtq content is "neutral" than my left-right compass is definitely skewed.
I bet if I said Tim Pool wasn't against Nazi's, White Supremacy, or the conspiracy theories about school shootings being fake because he invites people like Alex Jones, Milo, and Nick Fuentes on his show you would have responded that just because he invited them on the show doesn't mean he supports their causes....he just likes free speech.
As for being anti-immigration, that would be a new position for him to have for sure, what quote is that based on?
How about the conspiracy theory that so many illegal immigrants are voting that it's swaying the outcome of elections despite after all the scrutiny of the 2020 elections turning up 30 cases of non citizens casting votes.
Trump himself unlike Obama has always been in favor of gay marriage, therefore is stronger on gay rights than Obama. Secondly, Trump signed gun control legislation as president, so he accepts gun control. Thirdly, Trump apparently hosted a gay wedding at one of his premises, which only a centrist or left-leaning person would do. Fourthly, Trump is a centrist on the freedom of expression, having substantial support in some cases but not in others. One thing both Trump and Tim Pool have in common is they both support abortion at the state level... a moderate position. It seems both Tim Pool and Trump are mostly moderate centrists in many ways.
What Trump and Pool have in common is their stance will reflect whatever they think will benefit them the most financially or politically.
Trump supports abortion when he's talking to swing voters one day, the next day he's bragging about abolishing roe to evangelicals, and then he will go on national TV and claim that democrats want to abort babies after they are born.
He will sign an executive order on bump stocks after a guy with a bump stock gets off 1000 rounds in 10 minutes, hitting 400 people and killing 60 (which was overturned thanks to the judges he nominated), and then a few years later he will tell the crowd at an NRA event “During my four years nothing happened. And there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing. We didn’t yield” "I am the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House, your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president”
