Thank you for this video. I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

This is the worst case scenario for the US. I used to read about how past empires fell due to corruption, aging political representatives and the degradation of public infrastructure, but I never imagined I would be watching that happen in front of me only a couple decades later. I thought "history repeats itself" was just a trite phrase people would say to try and sound profound. I thought we were supposed to learn from the past. Clearly we have not.

This has happened before in the United States so it is not causing that country to descend into darkness, it is literally part of their history as you pointed.
I have a horrible suspicion that the aftermath of the US election on 5 November 2024 is going to seem disturbingly similar to the aftermath of the election on 6 November 1860.
Police were alerted to the presence of a shooter. They all have radios and the entire force could have been notified in seconds. Did their radios stop working?
the scraggly guy in the fedora in the stands behind trump is vincent fusca, who qanon supporters believe is secretly jfk jr lol. this country is such a joke
Is anyone going to start asking "why does Trump have so much support", maybe if the leaders of the US started asking why does he have this support they could offer his supporters a viable option, since they are so afraid of what Trump will do if/when he wins.
Unfortunately, Republican supporters only needs empty words and hateful rhetoric to garner their support. They don't want actual help, not when they have the soothing balm of reassuring words.
There absolutely needs to be an investigation, though it is hard to imagine how we could ever get to the truth. Unless a whistle-blower would come forward. The level of political corruption in the US is so high now that this kind of situation is not surprising

I think all this truly shows is how social programming has truly mesmerized most American citizens past the point of even being able to use their own thinking processes!
I am 70 years old and I've watched this happen it is extremely depressing.
'Most'? 😂...how many Americans out of the population of 330 million do you know?
@@71suns how many do you know, to confidently refute that?
How's that 2nd Amendment working out for you, America:)
It's patterning a bit to the left.
Joe Biden condemned the failed assassination of Donald Trump. Of course. He missed.
It allows people to protect their homes.

We are bc we are politically uneducated
Oh okay and u expect ppl to be able to read ur mind.. nothing in your comment suggest any kind of joke now does it? ... thats what the term 'lol' was invented for .. and emjois .. the laughing kind.. not the crying kind
@@jadebel7006 Bruh calm down, this isn’t an argument.
remember in 2016 trump was suggesting that "second amendment people" should take care of hillary clinton's supreme court appointments if she gained office?. this is the political climate he has ushered in.
What about Joe Biden's recent suggestion that it was time to "put Trump in the bullseye"? Or what about Owen Jones's alarmist suggestion (made in his last video) that a Trump re-election with have "shattering consequences for the 248 year old American republic"? A lot of people on both sides are guilty of using reckless, hyperbolic and stupid language in politics.
@@dan79600 Great whataboutery, but the shooter was a registered Republican.
I think Trump is more brazen in this.
And furthermore he's responsible by his words and actions of January 6 th.
Something far more damning to him than for Biden or Owen's
you are "wrong" definitely this "won't be a boost" to Donald campaign .... on the contrary, it will help to clarify that Donald is the one to blame for this acts of violence
yes I remember him encouraging political assassinations back in 2016. this is the political climate that he ushered in
It’s a nice thought but i disagree
Lmao TDS has taken a turn for the worst since Saturday 🤣 😂
Thank you OWen - for this incredibly courageous and important words. You could no possibly be more right on all you have said!!! Shared on al lmy social media - ofcourse - as always! Stay safe and strong, Owen!
The US is finished. Please address YT cens@rship. It's disgusting
👍
You Tube allows graphic and fatal police videos, yet people are getting shadow banned for mentioning a certain "country".
This is what happens when American can only choose 2 candidates from the frail care, retirement home
Exactly 💯
Our world is already in darkness. Is there a worse darkness than the current insanity?
Probably but it has lately been brought on by right wingers … he’s a republican. Go figure!

Always.
What do you mean--descent into darkness?...America has been there for years.
Watch the first five seconds of the video and your question will be answered: "the *latest* descent"
Bernie Sanders has completely rolled over for establishment! The equivalent in Britain would be Jeremy Corbyn saying he totally supports Keir Starmar for prime minister!
Well he said that at the time as it was what the labour voters voted for!
Descend into darkness? They have been there for many years. Difference is that people now realise how decadent this nation really is.
Thank you for the comprehensive coverage.
Thank you Owen. You are a STAR! TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
I really don't care. Do U?"😂😂😂
Do you remember Melania Trump dons jacket saying: "I really don't care. Do U?"
The first lady made a surprise visit Thursday to a detention center in Texas to show she cares for the plight of immigrant children ... 2018
Humanity has jumped the shark. I'm glad I'm closer to leaving this dumpster fire.
Opening statement, summed it up perfectly
There is no political "left" in the US. We're all, as John Steinbeck said, just a bunch of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
There is a political left, it’s just not the democrats.
True.
As a European I think this statement is 100% correct. This is how the ruling classes in the US keep their power. The lower classes believe that they will all be millionaires someday and part of the ruling elite.
dang that hit home

Thank you, Owen. Once again, your analysis is astute andyou are right on every point
Actually the United States began it's descent into darkness as a British colony at Jamestown in 1609. One could say, "The rest is history."
Donnie got an earful!
Too soon? I guess not😂
You are pathetic
@@firdaus99031Just in time.
ROFLMBAO! No, "lend me your ear".
Brits need to understand that American politics is best described as a constant stream of Suella Bravermann and Nigel Farage and stances against it. It is not funny. It is not harmless fun. It is deliberate and cynical.
Owen, you have a knack and dare I say, a gift for what you do. Thank you for this . As an American expat, it seems clear to me, from where I now reside... this is undoubtedly accurate.
Owen, I hope you would one day sit with Sami Hamdi and make a podcast of that! Two great and compassionate minds, it would be epic and inspiring.
Kudos to you, thank you for what you do. It's important, relevant, and much needed. We hear you.
America's fixation with guns.
We descended a long time ago.
This has happened before in the United States so it is not causing that country to descend into darkness, it is literally part of their history as you pointed.
*YOU COULD NOT BUY THAT PHOTO FOR $5 BILLION* That is the election win in one photo...!!

I agree

"Descends" into darkness? We've been there for a while.
Now you're in the Underdark.
Thank you Owen. Hard to hear, but you’re spot on. Subscribed!
I have a horrible suspicion that the aftermath of the US election on 5 November 2024 is going to seem disturbingly similar to the aftermath of the election on 6 November 1860.

Police were alerted to the presence of a shooter. They all have radios and the entire force could have been notified in seconds. Did their radios stop working?

This descent began in 2000.
Why in 2000?
@@Keepthepeacesharethelove Because that was the year that Bush II stole the election.
In 1492 is more like it.
@@huizhechen3779 Why 1492?

Is anyone going to start asking "why does Trump have so much support", maybe if the leaders of the US started asking why does he have this support they could offer his supporters a viable option, since they are so afraid of what Trump will do if/when he wins.
Unfortunately, Republican supporters only needs empty words and hateful rhetoric to garner their support.
They don't want actual help, not when they have the soothing balm of reassuring words.
There absolutely needs to be an investigation, though it is hard to imagine how we could ever get to the truth. Unless a whistle-blower would come forward. The level of political corruption in the US is so high now that this kind of situation is not surprising
Have all of the JFK files been released. No. We won’t ever get the truth
Thanks Owen, as always you give many of us hope knowing there is still someone in the world with sanity & decency. 🇦🇺❤
