Without us there would be no men! Where was Trumps mother? He has such a hatred for women! He fears being vulnerable, he bumbles along side his woman. Such a bully!
Why isn't everybody with a strong platform speaking up like Leigh??? There needs to be more people in this world like her! She is a real BRAVE American Patriot!
I tried so hard to educate and post as much as I could. I only posted things I fact checked that were absolutely truth. But I was called “too political” and “too much.” I literally had people unfriendl me and then message me that they didn’t want to see all the politics. This is in California too. I think stupid people love to say things like that, because they don’t understand most politics.
I'm a lifelong Democrat. My entire family voted Trump. I never felt so betrayed and abandoned in my life. I fear most for my great grandchildren, because my grandchildren will get the government they asked for. So much work to do, so glad you’re in the fight, Leigh.
Hi Jeffrey. If someone votes differently than you want them to, they are not betraying you, or anyone else for that matter. In a democracy, people have an absolute right to vote in any way they wish. Good news: you are not entitled to their votes, no matter how much you think you are; so they didn’t betray you. Jeffrey, there ain’t no good guy, there ain’t no bad guy, there’s only you and them, and they just disagree… (~Dave Mason)

OMG Leigh. You absolutely nailed it. What an incredibly accurate understanding you have of what just went down in this American Experience of the Presidential election. You understand it, you document what you say, you put it all together in a straight forward presentation of what just happened, and you do it so eloquently.

Two of the hardest lessons I have learned: 1. Love is not enough. 2. MONEY is more important than integrity, honesty, character, honor and now, even freedom and democracy.
Leigh....I have been waiting to hear what you have to say about this new "situation". You have been a LIGHTHOUSE 🌊ever since you started your podcast. Now, you are critical and important for so many of us. Thank you, Leigh. You are a QUEEN 👑 with a heart of gold. 💛💛💛
@@PoliticsGirl Hi Leigh...This particular talk is not only informative, but it serves as a "balm" to those pf us in America who have broken hearts 💔and feel a sense of terror and betrayal. Thank you for staying with us through this harrowing journey. We need you now more that ever, Leigh ! 👑👑👑
Thank you for your courage. My parents escaped Germany in the 30s to escape Hitler. This is our 1933 Reichstag fire in which Hitler took power telling the people if they voted for him they would not have to vote again. They didn't until 1946 after the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. We need to unite for the sake of freedom.
Look up the time nazi Germany attacked there own radio tower and killed an innocent to frame Poland I'm capable of looking at alterd evidence demicrats gave testimony of Trump asking for more troops that day to protect the capital looks like demicrats did the falce flag trick
It’s my first time on this podcast, and I must say you said everything I’ve been thinking. It’s quite unfortunate that we’re in this predicament…. However, this is not the time to roll over. We need to come together NOW more than ever!
If America comes through this it will be because of people like you Leigh. I pray that America will be up to the fight. I pray you will find each other. I recommend that you make personal connections beyond the internet. Link arms and support one another. Standing with you from Australia.

The smartest thing women who voted Harris can do in the next year or so is move to Blue states. Drain Red states of marriageable prospects and watch those states suffer immensely for it. Women have so much more power than they think they do. They just gotta have the power to flex it.
Thank you! I meant it when I shouted as I marched in Washington DC, that We Are NOT GOING BACK!! I’m a fighter and will always be a fighter!! No pathetic little misogynist man-boy and his minions are going to knock me down without a hard fight! Viva la Résistance!!
@@brianbarre4587It's the violent oppressive rhetoric of the Reich wing, and their elimination of the very rights that keep women alive that deserve reciprocal rhetoric from women. "Tit for tat" as the saying goes. Though, Republican men may find that they don't get either of those things if they don't change their tune & reinstate our rights to bodily autonomy & reproductive freedom & the right to receive care that will save our lives. And, then they'll truly be SOL because PROJECT 2025 is planning to outlaw their porn too.
@@brianbarre4587 suck it. You MAGA nuts have spread enough of your own violent rhetoric. You don't get to claim the moral high ground here when you're celebrating by advocating for violence against women, LGBTQ+ people and immigrants.
Thank you so much for this video. Coming from a Veteran with social anxiety and a young son, this has been quite the awful period. While I saw the possibility of Trump winning, I still allowed so much hope to enter my heart with Kamala, who I still believe would have made a wonderful President. This crushing defeat, and all the subterfuge with this election has me feeling like I've lost my mind. How do you win running the most uncharismatic and nastiest campaign, appealing to the worst of us the whole time? Again, thank you for this, as it does bring some peace to my mind knowing I wont be alone in this fight. This Veteran stands with the people and the Constitution of the United States of America, not the Divided States of Trump.
You absolutely deserve a bigger platform. The resonance of your words and your eloquence are commanding. Watching millions of gloating idiots applauding the quote "Your body, my choice" makes me nauseous. Stay strong America, from France 💙
@@ocelotcatI wish we could, for now Macron is getting ready for Trump's economic plan. We don't have more info. The 10% tariff on US imports is very concerning (not even mentioning the 60% for China). The trading market will be severely impacted everywhere.
“Something is very wrong here…” “Demoralizing.” Yes. Yes. Tragically yes. You are giving voice to so much of what I and countless others feel-the shock, pain, rage…fear . I genuinely do not understand why there appear to be no substantial investigations into the legitimacy of this election.
Lots of voters were disenfranchised. Many were scared off by bomb threats from Russians. Some people, just racist enough to not vote for a black woman didn’t vote at all. Loads of ballots were lost. Most people know nothing of agenda 2025.
Because the election itself was fine. It’s the unfortunately legal gerrymandering and the shit ton of disinformation. The voter suppression laws and the intimidation. The apathy of a huge swath of America that can’t be bothered to inform themselves so just believe whatever lies they are told by the people they admire.
@@JustinOldman-y4h I’ll do you one better. I’ll bet you any amount of money you’re willing to lose that Trump will leave the economy in much worse shape than he’s getting it. DO IT. Take the bet. Or just concede you know I’m right, 🤡
@@PoliticsGirl Start a movement getting all women who voted Harris to move to Blue states. Leave those Red states as blueballed as possible and watch them twist. The economic damage that would inflict, coupled with that of Trump’s, on Red states would be staggering.
@@shacktime I only wish I can see the look on you're face when all you're favorite people start getting arrested for Treason and crimes against humanity. You didn't think the military coming in is just for deportations did you?
I took the weekend off social media and TV. I spoke to my family members who I always called when I am feeling afraid, this is the first time they told me they felt the same. They couldn’t even pretend to make me feel good. BUT, I’m not letting myself feel afraid anymore. Listening to programs like yours gives me the strength to fight and to know we can still fight for our rights. We still have a voice and the power to make it hard ,or if not impossible, to stop these bastards.
I know it’s not much consolation at the moment but know that there are millions of people worldwide who are with you guys in the US and who will fight along with you. Don’t lose hope. You will survive this. Sending fighting spirit from Australia.
I am from Australia and I cannot believe the republicans won !! I was so mad and sad after the election and I am not even from America. I wish this video was on every TV screen in America, it really got me motivated to hope that America can take back their democracy. Thanks so much PoliticsGirl for that amazing and inspirational video 💯
as a foreigner, looking at america in disbelief and disgust, you will lose so much and the global environment will end because of this. humanity lost. because of systematic erosion of education.
I am in this fight! My 13yo daughter entered my bedroom at around 5 am on Nov 6 completely destroyed and asked “are they really gonna take our rights away?” I scrambled to find a soothing yet honest answer and the best I could come up with is “we’re fortunate to live in S. California” I ran the gamut of emotions while watching this video, and after disengaging over the last week, I have officially entered the mobilize and fight back phase. Thank you for what you do and looking forward to standing with you in this fight! ✊🏼
@ you don’t understand what you are standing for or against if you think it’s about getting an abortion. And if you think the term “abortion” is just people ending unwanted pregnancies. The more you know the better so you can know how “you” feel about the subject.
Thank you Politics Girl for helping me figure out my purpose in life is. (age 67 w/stage 3 lung cancer I'm unable to fight) I have renewed energy & fight. I have a much larger fight to fight than just my own. I want to fight for my country rather than just myself. I am much more assertive w/ a short death sentence than I have ever been. Maybe that was what I needed. Don't feel bad for me. I feel good just knowing I have enough left in me to fight for my country. Thank you for giving me strength. 😢
God bless you. I'm so sorry for what so many evil people in this country have chosen. Decent, sane people have to help and lift each other up in what's to come.
Dear Lady, you are astonishing! Bravo, well spoken, I am a 73yr. old man living in Mew Zealand, stumbling through the darkness of the blind! you are enlightening ! so very right in what you are saying. The FEMININE aspect of creation holds and manifests the Ascetic inner manifestation of life, and without the flourishing of this quality we end up in ignorance and destruction. I bow to thee wondrous individual! Heartening thoughts, Roderick from NZ.
Thank you! It's so nice to hear critical thinking! There is a real shortage of that in this country. Misogyny is what this country is built on and it will be the end of us. Thank you for your intelligence!
@@JustinOldman-y4hRemember what you just said when you too lose your rights, freedoms, protections, privileges, opportunities, benefits, livelihoods, money, security, safety, & future to the Republicans' PROJECT 2025. Odds are you aren't wealthy enough to matter to them. You'll suffer right along with us libs you wanted so badly to own.
@@Trish-ur5xk exactly! They threw the biggest, traitorous, violent tantrum in modern history OVER A LIE, and they're attempting to talk trash about how we're reacting to the United States of America being forced into trump's #Project2025 authoritarian regime. The ignorance is nonstop.
Resistance Liberalism!!! I will never give up my values, integrity, character or honesty. We must make our voices loud and clear against HATE and FASCISM. No two sides, no compromise. Full stop.
You don't seem to realize, with all due respect, that the slow march to socialism which you're describing is what the banks want. The banks are designed to create conflict and will thrive either way. The banks, and the banking class, and the legal fraternities supporting them, are the problem.
You do know that the Democrats are the ones spewing that fascist crap, you fall for it and get right in line for it. You are not tolerant at all, in fact while reading this you fill with rage and want to scream horrible things at me and you probably want to cancel this comment instead of engage in a conversation. That is what the fascist does, you do not tolerate opinions that differ from yours.
Thanks PG I needed this. I literally just told my therapist I was done with absolutely everything for the next 4 years because the public told me my efforts weren't wanted. That the only thing I cared about for the next 1600 days was protecting my family. You have made me rethink this.
Just watched this vid via The Meidas Touch podcast and can say unequivocally it was the most therapeutic and best 42 minutes of time I've spent post election. As an old white retired Army veteran I agree 100% with everything you said and subscribed to your channel. I will also be recommending you to like minded people as we recover and rally towards becoming a formidable opposition to what we're about to experience. In listening to you it quickly became evident that you're not just on fire, you are fire as you touched on everything from questionable election result data to how we essentially have allowed our government to fail us. No doubt there are countless defenders of democracy and the rule of law but it obviously wasn't enough. Though my list of concerns is long, my greatest concern is the suffering of innocent people as Trump's administration not only legalize racism but actually institutionalize and mandate it. Unchecked racism has always plagued this country and as of Jan.6 2025 the floodgates will swing open. I have no words to express my thoughts on this but you so poignantly point out that simply double middle fingering our way through it is exactly what the opposition is depending on. We absolutely have to regroup, reassess and build upon existing resources and develop new ones that we become a resounding force throughout Trump's term and into the next election. It's not a safe bet that Trump supporters will have second thoughts in the coming months and years as they have had hard evidence right under their nose for years but still chose a tyrant over a democracy. They're as detached as he is from everything that's good and right. No doubt the current situation is what it is but it ain't what it's going to be.
Wow! Perfectly articulated! I don't think you missed any facet of what we're all thinking & feeling. Thank you Leigh & please take good care of YOU!💓🙏💓
Thank you for helping me find my backbone again. I have been stuck in the depression stage of grief mainly out of fear for my daughter’s future. But now I can’t help but feel anger and acceptance. Not acceptance that I have to live with this, I refuse. However it’s acceptance that I recognize this is real and I can’t just sit and be numb to it all. So thank you, truly.
Not all of us, I promise you. I’m so heartbroken, I don’t know how to process this. Is it IQ level, lack of empathy, misinformation, etc.?? How do we fight this, I have two daughters I would die for. I’m so angry that Americans betrayed my two innocent and beautiful daughters. I’m angry at the farther left that marched and posted against Harris because of the situation in Gaza. So you are okay with Trump though, seriously??
Look into alternatives. Federally-qualified health centers will be VERY hard to defund. Doctors have to have residencies to become fully certified. Those are FUNDED by Medicare.
I'd recommend Mexico. The dollar goes much further there until you can establish your income. Plus, if you're on Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid, Canada will likely not allow you to immigrate as they only want people who won't be dependent on government benefits.
Leigh, I hope you stay engaged as a voice and continue as a leader as folks need your keen insight and commentary. We will have to see what unfolds in the coming days and months to see how severe the damage is to our institutions. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of buyer's remorse in the coming months. Hopefully, you will continue on CNN as a voice of reason and common sense. I have not seen anyone represent democratic norms as well has you have. Thank you.
Leigh, I cried when I saw you had posted this. I was worried about you, Sister. Yes, I will be fighting like Hell! I've been feeling a bit guilty about the violence that stirred inside of me hearing and seeing men post 'YOUR BODY, MY CHOICE,' but I know I'm not alone in this. If anyone touches one of my nieces, they're gone. Much Love to you, my friend.
And then what? Now you're a criminal slave, trapped in a penitentiary. Then what? Now the 'movement' to which you used to belong is down a man and fighting an even more arduously uphill battle. All because, what? You wanted to satisfy a blood lust and a vendetta against some arbitrary enemy to prove how bad-assed you are? Use your head
The audits are already happening as they always do. I'm afraid you won't find any solace there. The scary America we are seeing revealed is really real. It was a powerful harnessed push of a group that thinks they want what they just got paired with enough apathy on the other side to not push back.
You failed to mention that VP Harris pulled an HRC on election night. When all major networks called the election for DJT, did Harris come out to speak to her loyal supporters? No, just like HRC in 2016, Harris sent out a lackey to speak to the crowd of supporters and told them to go home and there will be more to come. This speaks to her lack of character and leadership.
Thank you Leigh! I have been numb and embarrassed by these election results for the past week. Now, l am angry and ready to get to work to keep our democracy alive. I will limit my media intake and read/listen to those who speak truth to power and ways to get and stay involved. That means you, Heather Cox Richardson, Jen Rubin, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell and any others who support our fight fir democracy. I love the image of you breaking fuentes nose 🎉
Thank you, Politics Girl! I really needed to hear this. You are right we have to stand up for each other and what is right, even if some of us die. Look how the Ukrainians have put their freedom above their personal desires and their fears. I hope they are an inspiration for us all as things get very hard. 🙏🏻
Thank you for posting this video. I've been keeping up with your insights over the past year and truly appreciate your motivating comments. After the election, I noticed you were quiet, but never thought you were ready to back down. I live in Northern California and always felt 'safe' being in a blue state, but realize that none of us are truly safe with what's ahead in our government. This video will give a lot of good people hope and motivation on how we need to proceed. I will be sharing this with everyone! Thanks again.
The more I listen to this the more I agree with Leigh. Are we really that soft and cowardly that we won't fight for the freedom we take for granted? Well, I'll have to act on my own. Y'all do you. I'll sit comfortably knowing that I at least tried.
You have been such an inspiration to me. I cried for 2 days. Now I'm preparing. I'm paying attention to my usual sources (you, BTC, MTN, Pod Save, Bulwark, etc)... my governor (Newsom) and other Blue governors... I am fearful not for me, but for my 3 severally disabled grandsons... I am their caregiver, it limits my physical participation. I will do my best. I did manage to convert 4 life-long Republicans prior to the election... only took 3 years of constant badgering. Let's do this!!
First of all, you need to understand the terms you're using/misusing and that you have been deceived your entire life. Any place, ANY PLACE, whereat the "Governor" is the highest executive authority is a place were said "Governor" still owes their allegiance in same way back to the Bank of England. That is a fact and that is the type of 'system' that you're preparing to do battle with. None of you are ready
An Aussie here! I felt exactly the same way, absolutely shocked that such a despicable human being would win another election, over an intelligent accomplished and decent candidate. In Australia any politician with a hint of scandal or inappropriate behaviour are forced out of politics. Any person with a criminal conviction could never run for any position in politics. The USA elects a criminal, adjudicated rapist and a traitor who incited a riot where police were assaulted and lost their lives. I was devastated when Trump won the Election because this will affect all Western countries and it’s so depressing to think that a country could be full of people who think Trumps misogyny, racism, criminal behaviour is ok. I could only imagine how hard for decent people who didn’t vote for Trump, have to now live in fear of the demented, fascist imbecile and his vile MAGA followers.
Americans have elected a convicted felon and a convicted sex offender as their commander in Chief. Merrick Garland should bear full responsibility for this. He sat behind the wheels and did nothing for two years. Then, too late. Time will tell. GOOD LUCK USA
I didn't and absolutely would not vote for that madman. Thank you for your concern for our country and the rest of the world. Please know that, despite what the numbers say, our country is not full of his supporters and we are very scared. Please don't give up on us, one day we might be able to right this wrong.
Australia is a corporation; it will do what it needs to do in order to continue doing business with the United States and Minor Outlying Islands. I'm sick to death of the apathy and 'well-wishes,' we're all in this together or stay out of my way.
You've obviously not seen Dutton says trumps right and he wants us here in aus to take the same directions I hate slimy Dutton but it's another reason not to vote for him
This was a f****** amazing speech. You just gave so much depth. So much knowledge. So much passion. So much context. So personal. Wow just wow! Thank you so much!
It seems half of the people voted for the outlaw cowboy because the current democracy that they're living in is starting to mutate into another form of democracy that allows strange elements like Wokeism culture to invade your family values and are legally empowered from any voice to oppose it. The people voted and the mandate is given to the outlaw cowboy.
I wish someone like you were President. If these people are not respecting the rules, why on earth are the Democrats in power still sticking to them. They need to put a stop to the madness. This is their very last chance. They blew every other one.
Oh Leigh, I noticed you were gone. I was wondering. Thank you for stating so concisely every single thought I've had in my head over the last week. I'm comforted by the fact that I am not the only one who has had all these thoughts. I am also terrified that by fact that you saying all these thoughts that I have also had, out loud, it makes them more real. I know many of us are already starting to inhale again, and making steps to figure out what to do next. I appreciate your guidance, and your admission that we aren't exactly sure what's going to happen next, and the reminder to prepare for anything. My heart is breaking for all of us. May We be strong and on the correct side of history again soon. 💔🤍💙
I have had the exact feeling in my chest as a devastating heartbreak. I’ve never had that feeling in any situation, besides a break up when I was in love. I have two daughters (one 21 and one 12), and I feel like we have failed them. I’m scared. As a wife, Momma, teacher, runner, human, etc., I don’t know what to do now. I don’t want to turn my back on America, but I’m so disappointed.
Leigh, you have said everything I have been thinking and fearing, including how 'weird' this election was. Something is terribly wrong. I wonder why everyone simply accepted the results. Thank you for your bravery and encouragement. We need each other even more now. ❤
Leigh, I am a fellow Canadian-American with Jamaican roots, and I am truly hurt over what has happened. Thank you for bringing up all "weird" points because I thought i was losing it, wondering how this all could happen the way it did. We must fight and keep our democracy afloat until we can right this wrong. Reading your book, btw it's helping me understand American government as I was not educated here. 😊
Thank you for your support and for reading my book. I wish everyone could. Not enough people understand how it works and it made us so vulnerable to misinformation.
This needs to be heard by every person in America. It is excellent. We need you to help us. Give us direction. My family, especially my sister and daughters, are terrified. Help be our voice. Everything feels upside down.
Thank you Leigh. This is the reminder and hard truth that I needed to hear. Thank you for your strength and straightforwardness. I follow many in the left and center and have been so disheartened by their seeming acceptance of where we're at. I feel like people are sooo unwilling to tread into the behaviors of maga that they think the high ground is to ensure that things are "normal" when there's only proof of the opposite. Trust needs to be earned not just given or hoped upon. People need to stop saying that "half the country" wanted this. They simply don't whether they know it or not. Half the voters of this election is NOT half the country.
Glad to hear your mighty voice again. Your voice and your family's work in the background during the upcoming times are more important than ever. Your small family project is this precious pesky pebble in the next administration's shoe, and has already a remarkable impact far beyond the United States. Keep up this inspiring educational content, for it is the only antidote against this grim mist that has clouded democracy.

This is our 1933 Reichstag fire in which Hitler took power telling the people if they voted for him they would not have to vote again. They didn't until 1946 after the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. We need to unite for the sake of freedom.
If we all feed them our fear they have all the power. If we stand strong together they have nothing. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🇺🇸
This is not our fire. That comes later.
Look up the time nazi Germany attacked there own radio tower and killed an innocent to frame Poland I'm capable of looking at alterd evidence demicrats gave testimony of Trump asking for more troops that day to protect the capital looks like demicrats did the falce flag trick
Except then the US, late and reluctantly, helped win that war. We weren’t the problem.
Why do you suspect the DNC is so willingly transferring power over to "literal Hitler" w/o even so much as a mild objection?
Jesus Christ this lady is insane !
Insane as in incorrect? False
Insane as in she’s correct, true.
It’s my first time on this podcast, and I must say you said everything I’ve been thinking. It’s quite unfortunate that we’re in this predicament…. However, this is not the time to roll over. We need to come together NOW more than ever!
If America comes through this it will be because of people like you Leigh. I pray that America will be up to the fight. I pray you will find each other. I recommend that you make personal connections beyond the internet. Link arms and support one another. Standing with you from Australia.
Thank you for your kind words and know it ain't over till it's over.
Please help us 🙏🙏😭🙏
As a 71 year old white man, Nick Fuentes is enough to me me throw up. I'm glad I moved to a blue state.
Fuentes has always been a walking, talking example of mental illness.
I never saw a clip with Fuentes before, but wow, what an evil man.
@@lydia397 He lives in his mom's basement and regularly complains he is a virgin against his will. Tim Pool dropped out of grade 9 because the classes were too hard. It's astonishing that people listen to these fools.
Me me too.🙂
The smartest thing women who voted Harris can do in the next year or so is move to Blue states. Drain Red states of marriageable prospects and watch those states suffer immensely for it. Women have so much more power than they think they do. They just gotta have the power to flex it.
Thank you! I meant it when I shouted as I marched in Washington DC, that We Are NOT GOING BACK!! I’m a fighter and will always be a fighter!! No pathetic little misogynist man-boy and his minions are going to knock me down without a hard fight! Viva la Résistance!!
@@brianbarre4587It's the violent oppressive rhetoric of the Reich wing, and their elimination of the very rights that keep women alive that deserve reciprocal rhetoric from women. "Tit for tat" as the saying goes. Though, Republican men may find that they don't get either of those things if they don't change their tune & reinstate our rights to bodily autonomy & reproductive freedom & the right to receive care that will save our lives. And, then they'll truly be SOL because PROJECT 2025 is planning to outlaw their porn too.
You're awesome and not alone! 💙
@@kellykat8057perfect response and absolutely true! 💙
@@brianbarre4587 suck it. You MAGA nuts have spread enough of your own violent rhetoric. You don't get to claim the moral high ground here when you're celebrating by advocating for violence against women, LGBTQ+ people and immigrants.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. Coming from a Veteran with social anxiety and a young son, this has been quite the awful period.
While I saw the possibility of Trump winning, I still allowed so much hope to enter my heart with Kamala, who I still believe would have made a wonderful President.
This crushing defeat, and all the subterfuge with this election has me feeling like I've lost my mind.
How do you win running the most uncharismatic and nastiest campaign, appealing to the worst of us the whole time?
Again, thank you for this, as it does bring some peace to my mind knowing I wont be alone in this fight.
This Veteran stands with the people and the Constitution of the United States of America, not the Divided States of Trump.
You absolutely deserve a bigger platform. The resonance of your words and your eloquence are commanding. Watching millions of gloating idiots applauding the quote "Your body, my choice" makes me nauseous. Stay strong America, from France 💙
Please please help us France, we need you 🙏🙏😭🙏🙏
@@ocelotcatI wish we could, for now Macron is getting ready for Trump's economic plan. We don't have more info. The 10% tariff on US imports is very concerning (not even mentioning the 60% for China). The trading market will be severely impacted everywhere.
“Something is very wrong here…” “Demoralizing.” Yes. Yes. Tragically yes.
You are giving voice to so much of what I and countless others feel-the shock, pain, rage…fear .
I genuinely do not understand why there appear to be no substantial investigations into the legitimacy of this election.
Lots of voters were disenfranchised. Many were scared off by bomb threats from Russians. Some people, just racist enough to not vote for a black woman didn’t vote at all. Loads of ballots were lost.
Most people know nothing of agenda 2025.
Because the election itself was fine. It’s the unfortunately legal gerrymandering and the shit ton of disinformation. The voter suppression laws and the intimidation. The apathy of a huge swath of America that can’t be bothered to inform themselves so just believe whatever lies they are told by the people they admire.
Dear Leigh, love what you're doing. Solidarity from the UK. ❤
@@JustinOldman-y4h are you having a tantrum because you can't go to the Capitol and shit all over at this time? Loser! 😂
@@JustinOldman-y4h I’ll do you one better. I’ll bet you any amount of money you’re willing to lose that Trump will leave the economy in much worse shape than he’s getting it. DO IT. Take the bet. Or just concede you know I’m right, 🤡
You are a light in this dark world! Thank you for not leaving us
❤
@@PoliticsGirl Start a movement getting all women who voted Harris to move to Blue states. Leave those Red states as blueballed as possible and watch them twist. The economic damage that would inflict, coupled with that of Trump’s, on Red states would be staggering.
😂😂😂
@@georgefire72 We’ll see how well your snark ages. I’m claiming like milk.
@@shacktime I only wish I can see the look on you're face when all you're favorite people start getting arrested for Treason and crimes against humanity. You didn't think the military coming in is just for deportations did you?
This was the pep talk I’ve needed. It broke through the numbness I’ve been feeling.
I took the weekend off social media and TV. I spoke to my family members who I always called when I am feeling afraid, this is the first time they told me they felt the same. They couldn’t even pretend to make me feel good. BUT, I’m not letting myself feel afraid anymore. Listening to programs like yours gives me the strength to fight and to know we can still fight for our rights. We still have a voice and the power to make it hard ,or if not impossible, to stop these bastards.
I know it’s not much consolation at the moment but know that there are millions of people worldwide who are with you guys in the US and who will fight along with you. Don’t lose hope. You will survive this. Sending fighting spirit from Australia.
I am from Australia and I cannot believe the republicans won !! I was so mad and sad after the election and I am not even from America. I wish this video was on every TV screen in America, it really got me motivated to hope that America can take back their democracy. Thanks so much PoliticsGirl for that amazing and inspirational video 💯
Then I hear people here in Australia hoping Dutton does the same Here not over my dead body
BBC/Guardian Reporter Greg Palast took a closer look at the 5th... Worth hearing what he found so far.
I'm white...so fascism is good for me...
@Right-Wing_Law_Enforcement it will only be good for you if you are white, male and rich. Otherwise it will hurt you and your family.
Americans did "take back their democracy".
It's how we elected President Trump
AGAIN
Happy story about Nick Fuentes: he was doxxed and had to run to his Mommy's basement. They found that too .
So he figured out that it might just be his body, their choice. He might not like what they choose.
😂😂😂 karma
And he assaulted someone that came to his door. They got pepper sprayed, and pushed down the stairs
I’m expecting news to break he’s been caught having gay sex in a public bathroom any day now.
Nick’s residence, our choice.
as a foreigner, looking at america in disbelief and disgust, you will lose so much and the global environment will end because of this. humanity lost. because of systematic erosion of education.
I am in this fight! My 13yo daughter entered my bedroom at around 5 am on Nov 6 completely destroyed and asked “are they really gonna take our rights away?” I scrambled to find a soothing yet honest answer and the best I could come up with is “we’re fortunate to live in S. California”
I ran the gamut of emotions while watching this video, and after disengaging over the last week, I have officially entered the mobilize and fight back phase.
Thank you for what you do and looking forward to standing with you in this fight! ✊🏼
I stand with you!!!
If all your 13 year old daughter is worried about her right to have an abortion then you did something wrong.
@@tommcdermott8398you’re a special kind of moron 😂
@@tommcdermott8398do you know how many GIRLS have been forced to carry their children who were rApED? Go back to your propaganda echo chamber
@ you don’t understand what you are standing for or against if you think it’s about getting an abortion. And if you think the term “abortion” is just people ending unwanted pregnancies. The more you know the better so you can know how “you” feel about the subject.
Thank you Politics Girl for helping me figure out my purpose in life is. (age 67 w/stage 3 lung cancer I'm unable to fight) I have renewed energy & fight. I have a much larger fight to fight than just my own. I want to fight for my country rather than just myself. I am much more assertive w/ a short death sentence than I have ever been. Maybe that was what I needed. Don't feel bad for me. I feel good just knowing I have enough left in me to fight for my country. Thank you for giving me strength. 😢
Praying for a miracle for you 🙏🙏🙏. Thank you for your courage, sending healing energy and love your way*hugs* 💜🙏💜
The most thoughtful and eloquent take on the election outcome I've heard so far. Thank you.
It is riveting and so very accurate.
Thank you for staying in the fight Leigh. We cannot stop fighting.
As a 62 year black woman I THANK YOU for your words🙌🏽
@@JustinOldman-y4h Whaddya mean? Playing the victim is the MAGA party line.

Dear Lady, you are astonishing! Bravo, well spoken, I am a 73yr. old man living in Mew Zealand, stumbling through the darkness of the blind! you are enlightening ! so very right in what you are saying. The FEMININE aspect of creation holds and manifests the Ascetic inner manifestation of life, and without the flourishing of this quality we end up in ignorance and destruction. I bow to thee wondrous individual! Heartening thoughts, Roderick from NZ.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Leigh, for your inspiring words. You are a true leader. I'm glad you're back!!!
Thank you! It's so nice to hear critical thinking! There is a real shortage of that in this country. Misogyny is what this country is built on and it will be the end of us. Thank you for your intelligence!

PERIOD! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
You don't seem to realize, with all due respect, that the slow march to socialism which you're describing is what the banks want. The banks are designed to create conflict and will thrive either way. The banks, and the banking class, and the legal fraternities supporting them, are the problem.
You do know that the Democrats are the ones spewing that fascist crap, you fall for it and get right in line for it. You are not tolerant at all, in fact while reading this you fill with rage and want to scream horrible things at me and you probably want to cancel this comment instead of engage in a conversation. That is what the fascist does, you do not tolerate opinions that differ from yours.
Thanks PG I needed this. I literally just told my therapist I was done with absolutely everything for the next 4 years because the public told me my efforts weren't wanted. That the only thing I cared about for the next 1600 days was protecting my family.
You have made me rethink this.
Just watched this vid via The Meidas Touch podcast and can say unequivocally it was the most therapeutic and best 42 minutes of time I've spent post election. As an old white retired Army veteran I agree 100% with everything you said and subscribed to your channel. I will also be recommending you to like minded people as we recover and rally towards becoming a formidable opposition to what we're about to experience. In listening to you it quickly became evident that you're not just on fire, you are fire as you touched on everything from questionable election result data to how we essentially have allowed our government to fail us. No doubt there are countless defenders of democracy and the rule of law but it obviously wasn't enough. Though my list of concerns is long, my greatest concern is the suffering of innocent people as Trump's administration not only legalize racism but actually institutionalize and mandate it. Unchecked racism has always plagued this country and as of Jan.6 2025 the floodgates will swing open. I have no words to express my thoughts on this but you so poignantly point out that simply double middle fingering our way through it is exactly what the opposition is depending on. We absolutely have to regroup, reassess and build upon existing resources and develop new ones that we become a resounding force throughout Trump's term and into the next election. It's not a safe bet that Trump supporters will have second thoughts in the coming months and years as they have had hard evidence right under their nose for years but still chose a tyrant over a democracy. They're as detached as he is from everything that's good and right. No doubt the current situation is what it is but it ain't what it's going to be.
Literally everything you say perfectly summarizes how I feel, watching your videos feels like a fog being lifted and clarity piercing through.
Wow! Perfectly articulated! I don't think you missed any facet of what we're all thinking & feeling. Thank you Leigh & please take good care of YOU!💓🙏💓
Leigh, I kept looking for a post from PG - relieved to see this post. A very powerful piece. Let’s all start yelling “Full Recount, Recount, Recount!”
We need a THOROUGH INVESTIGATION and recount
Why do both sides think the election is fraudulent when they lose?
Thank you for helping me find my backbone again. I have been stuck in the depression stage of grief mainly out of fear for my daughter’s future. But now I can’t help but feel anger and acceptance. Not acceptance that I have to live with this, I refuse. However it’s acceptance that I recognize this is real and I can’t just sit and be numb to it all.
So thank you, truly.
What’s next ? At least 4 years of making America great again ! MAGA ! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's mind boggling to see how everyone is accepting this as normal politics. It is shameful to see what America has become. Very 😭
I don't know, but Biden looked the happiest he's been in a long time at his post-election speech on Thursday.
Very mind boggling 😢
Not all of us, I promise you. I’m so heartbroken, I don’t know how to process this. Is it IQ level, lack of empathy, misinformation, etc.?? How do we fight this, I have two daughters I would die for.
I’m so angry that Americans betrayed my two innocent and beautiful daughters. I’m angry at the farther left that marched and posted against Harris because of the situation in Gaza. So you are okay with Trump though, seriously??
When you have lived in the loonie toon bubble for so long, you forget what normality looks like.
We aren't accepting it. Many are working to resist. Step up.
This is horrible that this is where we are in America 😢
😢😭
This is what America has always been, this country was never a democracy.
Hi Leigh, I'm very concerned too. I depend on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. I hope not to lose it 😟
Look into alternatives. Federally-qualified health centers will be VERY hard to defund.
Doctors have to have residencies to become fully certified. Those are FUNDED by Medicare.
If you can, travel to Mexico or Canada and stock up.
Doctors cannot go into practice without completing residencies.
Medicare pays for all the residencies.
I'd recommend Mexico. The dollar goes much further there until you can establish your income. Plus, if you're on Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid, Canada will likely not allow you to immigrate as they only want people who won't be dependent on government benefits.
@grmpEqweer Will I still get my Social Security check?
You're the only one so far that I heard that's saying to take action. Thank you. Stay strong!
I agree with you 💯 👍 and I just signed up to support your efforts in fighting for our rights and freedom 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Leigh, I hope you stay engaged as a voice and continue as a leader as folks need your keen insight and commentary. We will have to see what unfolds in the coming days and months to see how severe the damage is to our institutions. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of buyer's remorse in the coming months. Hopefully, you will continue on CNN as a voice of reason and common sense. I have not seen anyone represent democratic norms as well has you have. Thank you.
Leigh, I cried when I saw you had posted this. I was worried about you, Sister. Yes, I will be fighting like Hell! I've been feeling a bit guilty about the violence that stirred inside of me hearing and seeing men post 'YOUR BODY, MY CHOICE,' but I know I'm not alone in this. If anyone touches one of my nieces, they're gone. Much Love to you, my friend.
And then what? Now you're a criminal slave, trapped in a penitentiary. Then what? Now the 'movement' to which you used to belong is down a man and fighting an even more arduously uphill battle. All because, what? You wanted to satisfy a blood lust and a vendetta against some arbitrary enemy to prove how bad-assed you are? Use your head
Not that it matters, but I absolutely agree that we need an audit of the election results. As you say, just so we know who America really is.
The audits are already happening as they always do. I'm afraid you won't find any solace there. The scary America we are seeing revealed is really real. It was a powerful harnessed push of a group that thinks they want what they just got paired with enough apathy on the other side to not push back.
Biden is a coward and because Biden is such a coward, no such "audit" will take place.
@@brandex2011 closure.
I can’t find my vote online! Something is off!
Ok blueanon
You failed to mention that VP Harris pulled an HRC on election night. When all major networks called the election for DJT, did Harris come out to speak to her loyal supporters? No, just like HRC in 2016, Harris sent out a lackey to speak to the crowd of supporters and told them to go home and there will be more to come. This speaks to her lack of character and leadership.
Thank you Leigh! I have been numb and embarrassed by these election results for the past week. Now, l am angry and ready to get to work to keep our democracy alive. I will limit my media intake and read/listen to those who speak truth to power and ways to get and stay involved. That means you, Heather Cox Richardson, Jen Rubin, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell and any others who support our fight fir democracy.
I love the image of you breaking fuentes nose 🎉
Strong and beautiful politics sister! I'm standing with her!! Who else!?!?!

Anyone "standing with her" is ready to fall for anything. She is insane. Enjoy the 4 year melt...and then some.

I will fight to the end for the truth and Freedom 🙏🇺🇸🙋
Thank you, Politics Girl! I really needed to hear this. You are right we have to stand up for each other and what is right, even if some of us die. Look how the Ukrainians have put their freedom above their personal desires and their fears. I hope they are an inspiration for us all as things get very hard. 🙏🏻
Thank you, Leigh. I needed to hear that today. Thank you for staying brave and strong and helping many people to get their fighting spirit back.
Thank you for posting this video. I've been keeping up with your insights over the past year and truly appreciate your motivating comments. After the election, I noticed you were quiet, but never thought you were ready to back down. I live in Northern California and always felt 'safe' being in a blue state, but realize that none of us are truly safe with what's ahead in our government. This video will give a lot of good people hope and motivation on how we need to proceed. I will be sharing this with everyone! Thanks again.
Thanks Leigh For The Inspiration We Must FIGHT ON SISTER. 💙🇺🇲🙏🏻💙🇺🇲🙏🏻💙🇺🇲🙏🏻
You are absolutely correct. I’m with you all the way. Well said and true.
Thank you for saying it out loud.
We need to brand the upcoming price increases as "Trumpflation".
Trump tariffs, Trumpflation, Donald's deaths.
😔
Inflation has been here all this time. Also, why did they remove Biden in the primaries and installed Harris, who did not get votes?
🤣😂🤣😂 It, would be terrible if things got better wouldn't it! Lol
@fugutuba you mean blame it on the next president, the current high cost of living
The more I listen to this the more I agree with Leigh.
Are we really that soft and cowardly that we won't fight for the freedom we take for granted?
Well, I'll have to act on my own. Y'all do you. I'll sit comfortably knowing that I at least tried.
I'm still too numb to cry. But people like you and other Harris supporters are a true healing balm. Thank you so much.
You have been such an inspiration to me. I cried for 2 days. Now I'm preparing. I'm paying attention to my usual sources (you, BTC, MTN, Pod Save, Bulwark, etc)... my governor (Newsom) and other Blue governors... I am fearful not for me, but for my 3 severally disabled grandsons... I am their caregiver, it limits my physical participation. I will do my best. I did manage to convert 4 life-long Republicans prior to the election... only took 3 years of constant badgering. Let's do this!!
First of all, you need to understand the terms you're using/misusing and that you have been deceived your entire life. Any place, ANY PLACE, whereat the "Governor" is the highest executive authority is a place were said "Governor" still owes their allegiance in same way back to the Bank of England. That is a fact and that is the type of 'system' that you're preparing to do battle with. None of you are ready
Leigh, I'm so glad you're back. I was worried about you.
Thank you. That’s so kind. I’m worried about all of us.
An Aussie here! I felt exactly the same way, absolutely shocked that such a despicable human being would win another election, over an intelligent accomplished and decent candidate. In Australia any politician with a hint of scandal or inappropriate behaviour are forced out of politics. Any person with a criminal conviction could never run for any position in politics. The USA elects a criminal, adjudicated rapist and a traitor who incited a riot where police were assaulted and lost their lives. I was devastated when Trump won the Election because this will affect all Western countries and it’s so depressing to think that a country could be full of people who think Trumps misogyny, racism, criminal behaviour is ok. I could only imagine how hard for decent people who didn’t vote for Trump, have to now live in fear of the demented, fascist imbecile and his vile MAGA followers.
Americans have elected a convicted felon and a convicted sex offender as their commander in Chief. Merrick Garland should bear full responsibility for this. He sat behind the wheels and did nothing for two years. Then, too late.
Time will tell. GOOD LUCK USA
I didn't and absolutely would not vote for that madman. Thank you for your concern for our country and the rest of the world. Please know that, despite what the numbers say, our country is not full of his supporters and we are very scared. Please don't give up on us, one day we might be able to right this wrong.
Australia is a corporation; it will do what it needs to do in order to continue doing business with the United States and Minor Outlying Islands. I'm sick to death of the apathy and 'well-wishes,' we're all in this together or stay out of my way.
You've obviously not seen Dutton says trumps right and he wants us here in aus to take the same directions I hate slimy Dutton but it's another reason not to vote for him
Have you shaved your head yet?
This was a f****** amazing speech. You just gave so much depth. So much knowledge. So much passion. So much context. So personal. Wow just wow! Thank you so much!
LGBTQ, Hispanic, and Black, teens and young adults have also been attacked online. It's terrifying!!
“Not as bad as being attacked physically,” said every white South African farmer ever.
Donald Trump should not be president of the United States of America SMH 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮
It seems half of the people voted for the outlaw cowboy because the current democracy that they're living in is starting to mutate into another form of democracy that allows strange elements like Wokeism culture to invade your family values and are legally empowered from any voice to oppose it.
The people voted and the mandate is given to the outlaw cowboy.

I’m so glad to hear you question the results because I’ve been doing that all week. It doesn’t add up and I hate that the Dems capitulated so quickly.
Good to hear from you Leigh! We must RESIST! Can't give an inch!
I'll be listening to this many times. I am so afraid. Terrified. But I can't give up on my country,my democracy. Thank you so much
It stuns me how many lies were told in this video, I don't know where to begin.
So much hate in your heart for half the country.
Best video since the election.
I wish someone like you were President. If these people are not respecting the rules, why on earth are the Democrats in power still sticking to them. They need to put a stop to the madness. This is their very last chance. They blew every other one.
This is the time to STAND! Stand for what we believe in and speak out, I for one would rather die on my feet than on my knees.
Oh Leigh, I noticed you were gone. I was wondering. Thank you for stating so concisely every single thought I've had in my head over the last week. I'm comforted by the fact that I am not the only one who has had all these thoughts. I am also terrified that by fact that you saying all these thoughts that I have also had, out loud, it makes them more real. I know many of us are already starting to inhale again, and making steps to figure out what to do next. I appreciate your guidance, and your admission that we aren't exactly sure what's going to happen next, and the reminder to prepare for anything. My heart is breaking for all of us. May We be strong and on the correct side of history again soon. 💔🤍💙
This is a beautiful echo chamber
Thank you for consistently providing us with information, clarity, and hope. Please take care of yourself during these difficult times.
I have had the exact feeling in my chest as a devastating heartbreak. I’ve never had that feeling in any situation, besides a break up when I was in love. I have two daughters (one 21 and one 12), and I feel like we have failed them.
I’m scared. As a wife, Momma, teacher, runner, human, etc., I don’t know what to do now. I don’t want to turn my back on America, but I’m so disappointed.
Yeah I agree MORE than a "set back!"
I'm so glad to hear from you. As always, you inspire. 💙
My friend and I are thinking it's a cult, and the Dumpster is the leader
Leigh, you have said everything I have been thinking and fearing, including how 'weird' this election was. Something is terribly wrong. I wonder why everyone simply accepted the results. Thank you for your bravery and encouragement. We need each other even more now. ❤
Leigh, I am a fellow Canadian-American with Jamaican roots, and I am truly hurt over what has happened. Thank you for bringing up all "weird" points because I thought i was losing it, wondering how this all could happen the way it did.
We must fight and keep our democracy afloat until we can right this wrong.
Reading your book, btw it's helping me understand American government as I was not educated here. 😊
Thank you for your support and for reading my book. I wish everyone could. Not enough people understand how it works and it made us so vulnerable to misinformation.
Over 75 million people voted for Trump, yet you choose to quote a few trolls to stoke fear and anger about what you think could or might happen.
This needs to be heard by every person in America. It is excellent. We need you to help us. Give us direction. My family, especially my sister and daughters, are terrified. Help be our voice. Everything feels upside down.
❤Leigh! You were the beacon i looked for everyday all week. ❤ Thank you
Thank you Leigh. This is the reminder and hard truth that I needed to hear. Thank you for your strength and straightforwardness. I follow many in the left and center and have been so disheartened by their seeming acceptance of where we're at. I feel like people are sooo unwilling to tread into the behaviors of maga that they think the high ground is to ensure that things are "normal" when there's only proof of the opposite. Trust needs to be earned not just given or hoped upon. People need to stop saying that "half the country" wanted this. They simply don't whether they know it or not. Half the voters of this election is NOT half the country.
The stakes can't be any higher.
Strength and love to you Leigh.
Thank you Leigh for your articulation and courage. May God bless and protect you and all working people.
I’m shaving my head!
That’ll show Trump and his minions!

I'm not giving up 💙💙💙 and I agree on a recount. Thank you for all you do.
Glad to hear your mighty voice again. Your voice and your family's work in the background during the upcoming times are more important than ever.
