When Taylor asked Chaya why she felt trans people were "dangerous", Chaya could only respond with "it's a lie". If Chaya can't even defend her positions to basic questions, how is coming across as smarter or better prepared than Taylor?
I don’t know, that bit just felt like useless grandstanding responding to useless grandstanding. In contrast, Taylor’s lack of preparation with respect to the books was pretty bad. Tayor didn’t know them, hadn’t looked at them, and came across as wildly unprepared.
So I think Chaya was not that great at handling the questions that looked overtly like ideological traps, but Taylor looked unprepared for actual facts and hard examples. Overall that means Taylor comes across a lot worse.
Obviously people can disagree but I don’t understand why liberal social media commentators are circulating this. It comes across as desperate and just promotes Chaya as sounding like the rational and fact-based one. To people outside of the extreme progressive online bubble who actually watch the interview, Chaya sounds level-headed and prepared with facts that Taylor couldn’t refute.
But, to be fair, I think a lot of the audience for the liberal social media commentators don’t expect their followers to actually watch the interview, so they are probably just building their own brands.
