It is a pandemic of willful ignorance in the gop. They do not read any of the court filings or depositions; listening to people's opinions instead of looking at the numbers. Blaming others for their own missteps and lack of policy. Justifying anything their cult leader says. Why his donors does not mind paying almost $400k for Melania's stylist, over $1m on private jets, about $50m on attorney fees. smdh

They aren't deep thinkers, they've been losing their whole lives and they're angry with anyone who is doing better than them. They know that they can't win an argument so they derive what little pleasure they get from life by laughing and sneering at people who aren't like them, running them down or winding them up. Just mean spirited people.
Although sadly, most of them are doing just fine. (There are a lot more things wrong in America than ignorance and greed - we value the wrong things when smart, caring people don't have a chance to do anything but survive while horrible, evil people live in luxury)
I'm Canadian and continue to follow closely what's been going on with our neighbours to the south and I will never understand how people who support Trump can deny he's a pathological liar who only cares about himself. I'm 62 and have never seen a politician anything close to what kind of person Trump is - never! I believe though that Trump will experience his "Waterloo" by years end and many of us will rejoice!
I'm here in the states and I'm 69 years old and I'm just as flabbergasted as you are around the globe! There is talk that these are uneducated and Midwestern fly-over hicks but three of my right-wing friends are highly educated and well-respected in their field. What they seem to have in common is that they all feel like they have never been listened to.

@@DeathBYDesign666they will change their stance like a light switch. A reporter asked Trump supporters about it but changed it to Biden. They were all against it. Then he informed them Trump said it and they were okay with it instantly. It’s that level of crazy
I think the lies he told on the 2 Georgia election workers was the worst. He put those 2 ladies lives at risk. That and separating kids at the boarder from their parents without having a tracking system.
That was horrible, absolutely. But speaking as an American, his worst moment was when he was taking questions in Helsinki and announced to the world that he believed Vladimir Putin over our own intelligence services. Never in my life did I think I would hear a President take the word of a hostile foreign leader over the NSA, CIA, FBI simply because he was telling Chump what he wanted to hear.
As an American from Kentucky myself, I can tell you it is racism that is left that he has not turned against that followers are still willing to follow. In 2016 I was telling anyone that would listen that I felt this was the first person that would not give up power willingly. I sadly was right. When you spend your whole life being greedy giving up anything is not in your nature.
Jan 13th, 2021, Mitch McConnell: "We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one." Jan 5th, 2022, Merrick Garland: “The justice department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law - whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy,” Here we are in January 2024. Mr Trump is not only free to run for office again but apparently also free to incite violence against judges and prosecutors.
And then Mitch became a silent supporter of Trump to a vocal supporter. The people who worked for Trump, and were fired, said that if Trump was the Republican nominee, he would vote for him. I'm talking about William Barr, his former Attorney General.
Not for long. Trump is going down. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but turn they do. Once the Federal cases get started he's in proper trouble. Especially now Joe Tacopina has just quit "on moral grounds" (that speaks volumes). He now joins the very long list of lawyers who won't work with Trump. His interview is very telling, it's pretty clear he thinks Trump can't win, as someone who is privy to all the case details he's better placed than anyone to know. Trump is toast. it's just a matter of time.
This is how someone felt after Trump tossed paper towels into the crowd in Puerto Rico. “Trump’s message to local residents”. he said, amounted to: “If you want to cry, dry your tears with this.” Trump Never Has Empathy.
I moved from the U.K. to the US ten years ago. The level of “extreme” in this country is what surprised me. Extreme religion, extreme uneducated, extreme polarisation. Trump has rounded all these people up who have felt left behind, outcast by the traditional system and hopeless and given them a false messiah and a a purpose. They don’t fact check, they don’t question and most importantly, they never will and when they have kids, they will perpetuated this cycle. It will only get worse IMO. This divide won’t heal.
As bad as this sounds, at least it means people are actively involving themselves in politics, even if you personally believe them to be lining up behind the "wrong" person. Compare this with the UK where the average person is actively annoyed by anyone who tries to speak to them about anything remotely to do with politics. People here go "I vote tory, its what i've always done" or "I'll vote against the tories because i've always hated them" but neither side actively tries to engage in anything with the other side.
@@nervnervnervnervnerv I take your point. In the UK, discussing ‘religion ‘n’ politics’ has always been ‘bad form’. This is not to say that folk have never been interested. So whereas serious discussion, in person, is still frowned upon, online is a different matter entirely… Thus many people, having no experience of discussion, are at the mercy of spivs and snake oil salesmen such as Farage. It’s bizarre. l’ve never (knowingly) met a single Brexidiot in person. But there were 17.4 million of ‘em. Demonstrably. It could be that I’m too ‘intimidating’ a person to be challenged on my political views face-to-face. Who knows? (And I’d be ashamed if that were to be the case.) Online however, the gloves seem to be off: ‘Brexity-folk’ are all-too-eager to advertise ignorance… and worse, most seem to be proud of being ignorant. Best wishes
These slogans work precisely because he does not define the when. For Trump he probably thinks it was great during the gilded age but for the middle class who he is doing great harm to, they think it was during the first part of the new deal or whenever. He just leaves the answer open ended and everyone assumes trump is on their side.
You hit the nail on the head. Trump supporters are ok with his lies because it gives them a safe space for their hate. He brings out the absolute worst parts of people. They need to have a chat with the people who were once in his inner circle then he turned on them like a junkyard dog. I have a feeling they wouldn’t believe them either.
The deep state got to them. They were part of the conspiracy against the dear leader all along. These people have an explanation for everything. It’s quite maddening.

The most disgusting thing Trump has done was his appointments to the Supreme Court. His choice of corrupt and/or barely or under qualified justices will haunt this country for decades, long after he is dead and gone. Of all the things he's done and said, THIS has been the most impactful on our society.
McConnell and the anti-democracy Heritage Foundation (along with the American oligarchs) paved the road to this religious-right, stacked Scotus for many many years. And more recently, they are the ones who told #45 who to choose. I place the blame squarely on them… 😵💫😵💫😵💫
The Supreme Court is the least of it. He appointed hundreds of unqualified right wing radicals to lower federal courts, so that they will be in the system for another generation.
That's definitely right up there. Getting rid of presidential appointment for the Supreme Court and making them elected officials is one of the biggest, and simplest changes America could make, in my opinion. That's right up there with outlawing lobbying, and getting rid of the electoral college, for me
@eddiehauser6661 I'm okay with appointed judges, but not for life. We can't even elect qualified politicians. Of course, we'd also need new ground rules, e.g. no lifetime appointments, minimum requirements set by the ABA, and justices have to abide by the same ethics rules as all other judges. As it stands now, any idiot can be appointed to SCOTUS, including myself. "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." - Groucho Marx
Some people are so full of hate that the only pleasure they get is seeing harm, misery and despair come to others! I believe they literally get off on it! smh!
Trump did call those who were killed in battle “losers” and “suckers” when he went to France in observation of D-Day. And he has no knowledge of most of the battles that happened during WW2, or during any war throughout history. He loves to brag that he hates to read, and he has no interest in history.
I,m baffled by his popularity, but I'm exceedingly baffled by the fact he is even able to run for office. Regular folk can't get a job at 7:11 with a misdemeanor. The most powerful man in the free world is allowed to be a lifelong criminal. His base can't answer the simplest questions like what has he done to improve your life? He hates his base, laughs at their stupidity, mocks their belief system, pretends to be just like them and like a high school introvert they desperately seek his attention. Sick!
The problem is, he's never been convicted of any crime. That's the reason he's using all kinds of delay tactics to postpone the criminal trials. If convicted of even a single crime, his polling drops significantly.
Yet convicted or not he's unfit for president by a long shot. People can clearly see he didn't care if Jan 6 turned into a blood bath and he could have stayed as president.Trump is all about himself and popularity .

FYI - The phrase “woke” and to “stay woke” is not new - the phrase was used in a 1938 recording by Black folk singer Lead Belly, and entered more common use in the 1940s by African Americans to “literally mean becoming woken up or sensitised to issues of justice”, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne. It's just been recently co-opted by the right as a linguistic boogeyman for anything they don't like.
Yes, that statement is true. The Right has done a great job in rebranding ideas. They made diversity into anti-white males. They took an arcane graduate level law course (critical race theory) postulating American law, has racism baked into it, to any history of non whites. Slavery is no longer depriving other humans of their agency to an unpaid insternship. Basically their version of woke and CRT is any view not held by white male, straight, Christian Nationalists.
@@anthonythompson1680"conscious" replaced in the US "woke" during the 1960s-1980s. It was also coopted by feminists here. And yes, conservatives hated that word too. If I'm not mistaken there was a 60 Minute segment of them complaining about it.

You should interview Forensic psychologist Bandy Lee who wrote a book about the Trump and his cult supporters. Even Trump's niece, Mary Trump has given an insight into the toxic environment within the Trump family.

Yes and like mine, so many families are forever fractured and divided. it is sad but that is how it is. It will all come to a head at some point and will straighten itself out eventually, but it will not be anywhere close to my lifetime. I have so many family members that will never be welcomed back to my house and I am 101% perfectly ok with that. I do not want to have to ever deal with them or see them again.
What they deliver and how they act are two completely different things if American life improves under Trump he can do pretty much anything Americans only care about their quality of life the democrats don't understand this all they care about is big businesses and foreign policies Trump has tapped into this and he will win again.
I am from the UK, and I like Trump. The thing is, he is not a career politician. However, I really can't understand how people can vote for Biden, a man who is so corrupt he should be in the mob
For Biden supporters, it is the blood of hundreds of thousands of dead people to a backdrop of high inflation, division, mass immigration, three or four new wars and a unhappy disenfranchised undeservedly poorer and more divided less happy America. But no, Orange man bad, right? He tells lies, oh no!! Please.
I greatly enjoy listening to you here in Ontario, Canada James O'Brien. You don't exhibit the sensationalism that US hosts do and you do a fantastic job questioning Trump supporters. You are brilliant and you're making a postive difference. Thank you for doing what you do!

The caller summed it up with "blind faith." The small-dollar donors who buy his NFT cartoon posters and hats and mugshot mugs .. those same people bought LearJets and swimming pools for televangelists. Fear sells, and the merchants are unassailable.
Is it not everyone else who has blind faith in the same politicians who crash the economy, increase the gap between the rich and the poor and are constantly at war?
You're right, Trump is not a new figure in American life. Our history is replete with hucksters and charlatans who convenience unsophisticated people to fork over their money. It's often a religious figure but they've lost their faith in organized religion and have replaced it with politics.
Some of us actually DID know but we were told to stop catastrophising. The same thing is happening here too. But we are constantly told 'it couldn't happen here' all the time by deluded optimists.
Yeah and as an American it is a bit astounding that someone can say they're worried about the direction of the right in the UK but say we're being hyperbolic about Coup-y Doo and the threat he poses O.o used to hearing UK friends tell me they're worried about the US but brush off my warnings about y'all but don't think I've heard anyone turn it around lol
Spot on, James. I lived in Tennessee for a decade under Obama, but soon as Trump got in power, I cannot tell you the amount of times I was told to "go home" if I dared to have opposing views... eventually, my American wife and I did eventually leave and "go home". Back in the UK now, and still find it unbelievable how hostile the US became towards foreigners, even white British ones... And now, I find the same thing happening now in the UK - which is incredibly sad for me and especially for my wife. I pray for a world that somehow finds peace and love in the majority again, but I'm losing hope.

I blame the people in positions of power like Cameron and the Republican party who grabbed a tiger by the tail because they thought they could profit by it.

There have been so many horrible things he's done . It is hard to decide . Easiest way to do so , might be to choose any day he has been in office , or campaigning.

I tell people all the time that I knew Trump was a joke since the eighties when I was in middle school. And still, adults can't figure that out when it could not be more plain.
I've said it a hundred times, he's nothing more than a carpet bagging snake oil salesman. The second he set foot on Aberdeen soil prior to the debacle that is the golf course up here it was obvious how he plays his audience. Unfortunately the people that we relied on to make sensible decisions fell for his BS and parted with their morals and money. And nothing has changed.

It's exactly the same as religious people believing the lies of religion. They are both cults which people sign up to in order to be part of a group. Religion was formed to bind people together.

I so agree with James saying Trump has carte blanche to do whatever he wishes with virtually no impact on his support. I have been questioning for years why Trump supporters waste so much time and energy defending him so aggressively on the PP tape allegations when it is blatantly obvious that they wouldn't care a jot even if Trump admitted it was true.

I'm sure I wasn't alone in anticipating what Trump was going to do in 2020/21. I heard his rhetoric for months in the run-up to the election about mail-in vote rigging and cheating that he claimed was going to happen. He was setting things up for the possibility that the vote wasn't going to go his way.
There's so much proof that the election was rigged and people have actually gone to prison but the courts still refuse to look at all of the evidence. Also 40,000 hours of cctv footage of January 6th has been released and it proves without a doubt that Trump did nothing wrong. It was the police who were the aggressors. You can see the footage on Wolves And Finance channel on YT. You'll be shocked.
They are already doing it again. It will be Jan.6 all over again. THIS time President Biden will be prepared for their treachery... the National Guard and/or Army will greet them this time!!
That's why alot of states changed their laws to keep the mail ins from being counted until the polls closed making it looked rigged when all the mail ins came in and Biden won.
He just did the same thing at the Iowa caucus. 🤣 “Thousands of supporters showed up”. I believe the final count was 338 total. And we’re talking deep red Trump country.
I almost said something that was beneath me and tacky. I will take the high road, but you are right. I am thinking it will be more figuratively . At least I hope and pray it will be figuratively.
Excellent points, what do these people see in this guy? I keep saying that most of MAGA had the same education that I had and yet they never learned how to tell fact from fiction, to put it mildly.
Human beings love adopting a belief system. It's a pain killer to get rid of the effort of having to think. People like Trump are very skilled at exploiting this dangerous fallibility in human nature. Once you are talking to any kind of "believer" the debate is pretty much over.
Did you see when he said at that Iowa rally that they all should vote for him at the elections - even if they are sick - even if they are very sick - so sick that their voting excursion would be the last act they do on this earth.

If Trump doesn't insult your intelligence you probably don't have any !
It is a pandemic of willful ignorance in the gop. They do not read any of the court filings or depositions; listening to people's opinions instead of looking at the numbers. Blaming others for their own missteps and lack of policy. Justifying anything their cult leader says. Why his donors does not mind paying almost $400k for Melania's stylist, over $1m on private jets, about $50m on attorney fees. smdh

Jan 13th, 2021, Mitch McConnell: "We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one."
Jan 5th, 2022, Merrick Garland: “The justice department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law - whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy,”
Here we are in January 2024. Mr Trump is not only free to run for office again but apparently also free to incite violence against judges and prosecutors.
And then Mitch became a silent supporter of Trump to a vocal supporter. The people who worked for Trump, and were fired, said that if Trump was the Republican nominee, he would vote for him. I'm talking about William Barr, his former Attorney General.
Garland should have had tRump arrested on January 21, 2021 and then build the case! Garland waited too long in my opinion.
And Mitch had his back this week concerning immunity at the SC.
It's like we're living in a dystopian nightmare
Not for long. Trump is going down. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but turn they do. Once the Federal cases get started he's in proper trouble.
Especially now Joe Tacopina has just quit "on moral grounds" (that speaks volumes). He now joins the very long list of lawyers who won't work with Trump.

Who's more dangerous, Trump or Biden?
I moved from the U.K. to the US ten years ago. The level of “extreme” in this country is what surprised me. Extreme religion, extreme uneducated, extreme polarisation. Trump has rounded all these people up who have felt left behind, outcast by the traditional system and hopeless and given them a false messiah and a a purpose. They don’t fact check, they don’t question and most importantly, they never will and when they have kids, they will perpetuated this cycle. It will only get worse IMO. This divide won’t heal.
As bad as this sounds, at least it means people are actively involving themselves in politics, even if you personally believe them to be lining up behind the "wrong" person. Compare this with the UK where the average person is actively annoyed by anyone who tries to speak to them about anything remotely to do with politics. People here go "I vote tory, its what i've always done" or "I'll vote against the tories because i've always hated them" but neither side actively tries to engage in anything with the other side.
Cults have always proliferated in US too. Always end bad though.
@@nervnervnervnervnerv
I take your point. In the UK, discussing ‘religion ‘n’ politics’ has always been ‘bad form’.
This is not to say that folk have never been interested. So whereas serious discussion, in person, is still frowned upon, online is a different matter entirely… Thus many people, having no experience of discussion, are at the mercy of spivs and snake oil salesmen such as Farage.
It’s bizarre. l’ve never (knowingly) met a single Brexidiot in person. But there were 17.4 million of ‘em. Demonstrably.
It could be that I’m too ‘intimidating’ a person to be challenged on my political views face-to-face. Who knows? (And I’d be ashamed if that were to be the case.) Online however, the gloves seem to be off: ‘Brexity-folk’ are all-too-eager to advertise ignorance… and worse, most seem to be proud of being ignorant.

The guy who said about making America great again “when was America actually great and who was it great for?” Hits the nail on the head.
^As did you... so agreed^
That is just one of Hitler's line. The only book Trump ever read.
These slogans work precisely because he does not define the when. For Trump he probably thinks it was great during the gilded age but for the middle class who he is doing great harm to, they think it was during the first part of the new deal or whenever. He just leaves the answer open ended and everyone assumes trump is on their side.
A slogan coined by Ronald Reagan
its more like 'Make America Hate Again'
You hit the nail on the head. Trump supporters are ok with his lies because it gives them a safe space for their hate. He brings out the absolute worst parts of people. They need to have a chat with the people who were once in his inner circle then he turned on them like a junkyard dog. I have a feeling they wouldn’t believe them either.

The most disgusting thing Trump has done was his appointments to the Supreme Court. His choice of corrupt and/or barely or under qualified justices will haunt this country for decades, long after he is dead and gone. Of all the things he's done and said, THIS has been the most impactful on our society.
McConnell and the anti-democracy Heritage Foundation (along with the American oligarchs) paved the road to this religious-right, stacked Scotus for many many years. And more recently, they are the ones who told #45 who to choose. I place the blame squarely on them… 😵💫😵💫😵💫
The Supreme Court is the least of it. He appointed hundreds of unqualified right wing radicals to lower federal courts, so that they will be in the system for another generation.
That's definitely right up there. Getting rid of presidential appointment for the Supreme Court and making them elected officials is one of the biggest, and simplest changes America could make, in my opinion. That's right up there with outlawing lobbying, and getting rid of the electoral college, for me
@eddiehauser6661 I'm okay with appointed judges, but not for life. We can't even elect qualified politicians. Of course, we'd also need new ground rules, e.g. no lifetime appointments, minimum requirements set by the ABA, and justices have to abide by the same ethics rules as all other judges.

And his revenge against Vindman's brother just shows his pettiness and malice.
Trump did call those who were killed in battle “losers” and “suckers” when he went to France in observation of D-Day. And he has no knowledge of most of the battles that happened during WW2, or during any war throughout history. He loves to brag that he hates to read, and he has no interest in history.
I,m baffled by his popularity, but I'm exceedingly baffled by the fact he is even able to run for office. Regular folk can't get a job at 7:11 with a misdemeanor. The most powerful man in the free world is allowed to be a lifelong criminal. His base can't answer the simplest questions like what has he done to improve your life? He hates his base, laughs at their stupidity, mocks their belief system, pretends to be just like them and like a high school introvert they desperately seek his attention. Sick!
Hear, hear!!!!
The problem is, he's never been convicted of any crime. That's the reason he's using all kinds of delay tactics to postpone the criminal trials. If convicted of even a single crime, his polling drops significantly.
Yet convicted or not he's unfit for president by a long shot. People can clearly see he didn't care if Jan 6 turned into a blood bath and he could have stayed as president.Trump is all about himself and popularity .

FYI - The phrase “woke” and to “stay woke” is not new - the phrase was used in a 1938 recording by Black folk singer Lead Belly, and entered more common use in the 1940s by African Americans to “literally mean becoming woken up or sensitised to issues of justice”, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne.
It's just been recently co-opted by the right as a linguistic boogeyman for anything they don't like.
Yes, that statement is true. The Right has done a great job in rebranding ideas. They made diversity into anti-white males. They took an arcane graduate level law course (critical race theory) postulating American law, has racism baked into it, to any history of non whites. Slavery is no longer depriving other humans of their agency to an unpaid insternship. Basically their version of woke and CRT is any view not held by white male, straight, Christian Nationalists.

@@Heywoodthepeckerwood You're calling me a liar? Lol. Very strange response. But I'm more than happy to have a PM chat with you and show you screenshots from my facebook, and show you my green card too... I've nothing to lie about.
Similarly to Brexit I don't blame Farage or Trump. I blame the people in positions of power like Cameron and the Republican party who grabbed a tiger by the tail because they thought they could profit by it. Brexit and Trump are guns, they were loaded by people who should have known better and then handed to a populations who were angry and wanted to pull the trigger.
There have been so many horrible things he's done . It is hard to decide . Easiest way to do so , might be to choose any day he has been in office , or campaigning. Then find news articles and film , review , and choose the worst thing he did on that day . And repeat the process , until it is easier to determine the worst he's ever done .
i suspect the man who could tell us the most disgusting thing he has done died in jail in suspicious circumstances
low info comment. Trump banned JE from Mar a lago and never went to the island... look closer to home
you are right,donald looked closer to home
@@elingrome5853 the finding was that the recently released documents didn't prove incontrovertibly that he'd visited the island, not that he hadn't. either way, it hardly negates the mounds of evidence of trump and epstein were pally and aware of each other's tastes.
We would have known years ago if Trump was involved.
@@Le4befar Very naive. Do you really think anyone that knew about a US President enjoying Epstein's entertainment would live to tell the tale? As the OP said, the most obvious person who would have known is no longer alive.
Yet millions believe him. Just as million’s here still believe Boris.
Education, by design. Or lack thereof. Makes it far easier to trick everyone. Especially if you have friends in the media to help.
That's a horrifying condemnation of the human race as a whole.
Obvious monsters are buoyed up as saviors by hundreds of millions, regardless of nation and information to the contrary.
Far too many people obey and whorship at the feet of monsters.
Haha the media have lied about Trump more than anyone .
Bring back Boris! 😂
what lies did Boris tell?
I tell people all the time that I knew Trump was a joke since the eighties when I was in middle school. And still, adults can't figure that out when it could not be more plain.
I've said it a hundred times, he's nothing more than a carpet bagging snake oil salesman. The second he set foot on Aberdeen soil prior to the debacle that is the golf course up here it was obvious how he plays his audience. Unfortunately the people that we relied on to make sensible decisions fell for his BS and parted with their morals and money. And nothing has changed.
. . . .or, perhaps, you're just wrong. Ever thought about that?
@@tarquinjones2002 here's another one that's fell for it😆😆😆😆
I'm not laughing......he's a monster
@@tarquinjones2002he's not. Trump was famous for stiffing contractors and running companies out of business. Did it in New Jersey too. That's how little he cared about the little guy.
Listening to your rational talk helps my sanity . Keep up the great work.
What they get is somebody in power and in the public eye who will legitimise their own racism so they cling to him for that reason
100%. It’s the same in the U.K. with the dingies. Hate, fear projected.

"Maybe Trump COULD have walked down 5th Avenue, shot someone, and not lost any votes, but he WOULD have been prosecuted and jailed..." ~ Al Franken
But would he lose the case? Would he be jailed?
Yes he makes them feel comfortable with their racism and no one else has done that for him in a long time.
Most Americans lead such insular lives..absolutely no idea what happens in the rest of the world
You’re right - an extraordinarily high percentage of Americans don’t have passports and never leave the country.
I don't know one person without one single decent quality... Trump has been in the news non stop for nearly 8 years and not one single demonstration of decency. His supporters are fully aware of this fact.. Extraordinary.
Trump's entire presidency has been contemptible.
I think we're finding out it's his entire existence that is/was contemptible.
When you don't stand for something you fall for everything.
I, as an American who doesn't care one bit about "The Royals", was really sad and appalled by the Queen having to deal with him. He was callous, ignorant and treated her with such disrespect, it was an embarrassment for many Americans. I feel the need to apologize for him, but I DIDN'T vote for the guy. I just want him to go away.
We are not allowed to actually use the correct description for Trump's politics or that of many on the far right in the UK. - Fascism.
You don't even know what Fascism means. Go home to Mummy.

Edit; I'll take anything he's said, done, or implemented as policy. I can wait.
The right in America doesn't have media representation? Did I hear that correctly? That is blatantly absurd.
My understanding is that there are many opportunities to hear the rights point of view. However, this doesn't fit their victim narrative.
@@LorraineTapper that's exactly right.
true. I am from Malaysia. I have to do my own research on Joe Biden failure for example the way the Saudi prince humiliates him, Biden abandoning east Palestine and France recalling their ambassador. if trump did any of that the media will remind us for years.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Bottom line is, you can't reason with a cult member.
It's exactly the same as religious people believing the lies of religion. They are both cults which people sign up to in order to be part of a group. Religion was formed to bind people together. It still does. The fact it is all based on lies is totally irrelevant to these people. They couldn't care less if it is true or not.

Great Comment 👍
Exactly why he went to the church for support. He'd give them their judges for it. Many were so power hungry they held their nose and complied. If anything should make you question Christianity and its teachings its the leaders of the church willing to chance going to he'll for that power and money. Logic tells you they either feel like he'll is worth it or they know it's all a bunch of bs created to control the masses.
Basically im of the opinion that someone who loves Trump is usually telling us what they are really like.

You are correct.
They are not only lied to, they are also taken advantage of. And they apparently like it.
Trump is an IQ test for America and we failed in 2016.
We didn't actually. We live under a failed constitution. We didn't elect for him. The constitution did.
Remember that. He has never won a democratic election. 0 for 2.
Yep,found out that we're really dumb 🤦
We had the same IQ test with Boris Johnson and failed
@Auto-bot1759 Didn't you actually vote for Boris though? Trump has never won the popular vote. We got him due to arcane rules.
We failed in Australia with ScoMo too, but we woke up pretty quick.
He's so successful as a businessman he got people living pay check to pay check to send him money.

I so agree with James saying Trump has carte blanche to do whatever he wishes with virtually no impact on his support. I have been questioning for years why Trump supporters waste so much time and energy defending him so aggressively on the PP tape allegations when it is blatantly obvious that they wouldn't care a jot even if Trump admitted it was true.
I live in the USA and i don't believe it,it's like he and his followers took everything we stand for and trashed it.
it will not be any consolation but the UK has the same problem. We do at least have some indication that the tide is turning away from the idiocy. (For a while at least.)
It was funny in 2015, eye opening in 2016, very concerning throughout his regime, and now it's outright scary.
I was horrified immediately-2016 election night - came home to an excited Trump supporting partner after working the election precinct from 5am to 10pm watching Faux news - I had a shot of scotch crying at 1am watching the results coming in - I said on that night that rights would be rolled back and roe v wade was dead - he said I was overreacting…. The other workers -also poc- at the polls said he could not be elected all day… my friends were like ohhhh you are making a big deal over nothing …. Too hyperbolic…Welp yet here we are in 2024 again….
@mmmsunshine5367 unfortunately the ignorance of his followers and the incompetence of the Dems will have him elected once more

Trumps lying is as natural as breathing air.
Give me 3 examples of his lies. And I don't mean him giving an opinion. Give me a blatent deliberate bare faced lie.
Number 1 lie , the election was stolen and hundreds of more look it up dude ! How do you know when the donald to lying? His lips are moving
Number 2 he lied to the American people about Covid said it will go away caught on tape telling Bill Barr to play it down and millions of Americans died he has blood on his hands but he really doesn’t care about his cult followers because he’s a cult leader fact
As an American who grew up in the heart of Texas and now lives in Northern Wisconsin, I truly appreciate hearing your perspectives. It helps to feel less isolated, so thank you.
As a human. Sentient, alive, and concerned. 1930's comes to mind. Shameful.
When he's told hundreds of thousands of lies, and done tens of thousands of immortal, disgusting things, it's hard to pick just one.
You can always tell when Trump is lying -his lips are moving.
You are brilliant man. He is a threat to democracy and stability
I'm sure I wasn't alone in anticipating what Trump was going to do in 2020/21. I heard his rhetoric for months in the run-up to the election about mail-in vote rigging and cheating that he claimed was going to happen. He was setting things up for the possibility that the vote wasn't going to go his way.
Maybe because there's election fraud every cycle 😂😂
There's so much proof that the election was rigged and people have actually gone to prison but the courts still refuse to look at all of the evidence. Also 40,000 hours of cctv footage of January 6th has been released and it proves without a doubt that Trump did nothing wrong. It was the police who were the aggressors. You can see the footage on Wolves And Finance channel on YT. You'll be shocked.
They are already doing it again. It will be Jan.6 all over again. THIS time President Biden will be prepared for their treachery... the National Guard and/or Army will greet them this time!!
100%
That's why alot of states changed their laws to keep the mail ins from being counted until the polls closed making it looked rigged when all the mail ins came in and Biden won.
He just did the same thing at the Iowa caucus. 🤣 “Thousands of supporters showed up”. I believe the final count was 338 total. And we’re talking deep red Trump country.
I take it you were there, were you?

Excellent points, what do these people see in this guy? I keep saying that most of MAGA had the same education that I had and yet they never learned how to tell fact from fiction, to put it mildly.
These people grew up getting brainwashed by right-wing media telling constant lies.
Human beings love adopting a belief system. It's a pain killer to get rid of the effort of having to think. People like Trump are very skilled at exploiting this dangerous fallibility in human nature. Once you are talking to any kind of "believer" the debate is pretty much over.
Psychopaths and narcissists are skilled at it
People act like they are under a spell with following Trump!
It's a maga cult ...
Did you see when he said at that Iowa rally that they all should vote for him at the elections - even if they are sick - even if they are very sick - so sick that their voting excursion would be the last act they do on this earth. He actually said it! Vote for me, even if you meet the Big D as a result! .. and they will! 🤮

Its not lying, its telling people what they want to hear!
The lie is secondary.
Do you mean James?
@@clivet3252no, Jesus
They don’t think they are being lied to. They even think, when we try to let them know that, that we are lying to them.
The fact that Merrick Garland did not order a special prosecutor the day trump left office seemed like malpractice to me... did he think it would look any better to do so when trump announced he would run for president again? One can only hope the newscasts of trump losing court case after court case will be his undoing.
