In a way, it's kinda scary to think of MatPat going into politics. Cause you know he can do research when he needs to, but more importantly, he knows how to bullshit and convince people with bullshit. To this day, I'm still 100% convinced Rosalina is the daughter of Luigi and Peach, so basically Mario got NTRed by his brother.
So MatPat might actually be dangerous, because his reputation is clean enough, and he's done mental gymnastics for long enough, that he might actually be able to convince people to do what he says.

But he's also either bad at reading people, stupid, or secretly evil. The day I found out he hired MovieBob to write for him, is the day I decided I want nothing to do with this man anymore. MovieBob is THE genocidal psychopath of our time. The guy literally complained that Hitler gave eugenics a bad name... Like what the fuck are your plans for mankind if you're concerned that people don't like eugenics?!
So my question regarding MatPat is, what kind of person hires someone like MovieBob without doing a background check? Or does he look at MovieBob and thinks he's ok, because MatPat can't see behind the layers of fat and read the Blob for the psycho he is? Or is MatPat evil himself? I don't know... So I don't trust MatPat. Not for one second.
In the modern day we complain about guilt by association, but there's been a proverb as old as time, that goes something like: "tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are". The Romanian version is closer to "birds of a feather flock together". This isn't two people that had one online conversation once, and people are using guilt by association because of it. MatPat hired MovieBob, out of his own volition, to write for his child-friendly show. MatPat chose this association.

You'd think that the least bad possibilities is that MatPat is stupid or bad at reading people. But imagine he ends up President, and he is surrounded by people he badly chose, who manipulated their way into his cabinet, and MatPat never realized these were bad people. And then one day, his staff start goating him into starting a world war, because it would be good for the arms manufacturers.
In Trump's case, even he admits he had some bad people around him during his first term, and look at the results. Even his defenders agree that 2016-2020 wasn't as great as it should have been. In these cases, who your leader picks around him matters as much, if not more, than the leader himself. You can't have someone that picks psychopaths around him by mistake.
