I pulled one of your shirts right out of the mailer and went to the store. As I was going in, a guy leaving shouted something at me. Because of his mask, I don't know if it was a verbal HIGH FIVE or a single fingered salute. But Beau, you are getting people's attention. And with your message, that can only be good. Shalom
I went and counted out the letters of the first sentence of the ad's, It came out to 79. Checked the other sentences and none came out to 88. I also can't find anything on the number of ad's ran. Would you mind sending me the source you used for this video so I can reference it? they might have messed up the 88 part. The red triangle is obviously a thing though.
I could've sworn I'd left a comment earlier on this video about CDA section 230, came back wondering if there were any responses and the comment seems to be gone. Don't know what to think honestly and everything I've seen so far is bootlicking or dismissive, not really anything helpful on what the actual effect would be.
..."as in the days of Noah". It reminds me...Drumpf supporters are like all those people who were warned about their evil ways but cared not to neither believe nor much less change. Needless to say - but it's still important to mention: they all got swept away.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. - Martin Niemöller
@@simons5704 A lot of right-wing people claim the Naz*s were socialist. ...So then you reply and ask them why the Naz*s shipped the socialists to the camps first? ...You get to watch some logical backflips next, it's interesting.
You gotta be kidding me, being a German I froze when I heard about the Triangle, the White Rose and the 88 and couldn't believe my ears. This is just sick in so many ways. Never thought Trump would be so openly antisemitic, but he never fails to disappoint.
I was born in the USA and my mum got us out to Australia. In Australia we learned about Sophie, the white rose and the triangle in history class. I am beyond disgusted that those symbols are being used today with ignorance from most people who don't know what they mean..
@penguins inadiorama Maybe in the US. In Germany, red roses are for lovers, white ones for funerals, irrespective of the character of the deceased. To a German, a white rose symbolises grief, not heroism. Which is why Sophie and her group chose it, AIUI.
Another German here: I thought this had to be a bad joke.. than my blood froze and shivers rolled down my spine. In hindsight to his Tweet yesterday ("Delay the vote") i hope you get your country straight. Bei der Rethorik läuft es mir kalt den Rücken herunter. Vor allem in der Rückschau seines Tweets gestern ("Wir müssen die Wahlen verschieben..") ist das Ganze nur noch ein gruseliges Re-Enactment des Aufstiegs des 3. Reichs. Ich hoffe nur das sie das Ruder noch herumgerissen bekommen.
I am from Munich, Germany. There are many locations that remember and honour the White rose and others that stood up against the Nazis. Please America, turn this ship around before it is too late!
@@mister3horn153 You see - there´s the difference. Germany was a middle power that massively overestimated its own capabilities and basically only had its initial successes because of surprise and a splintered and undecisive opposition. And still took the greatest alliance of powers ever to be forged, to be beaten, occupied and "reeducated" (although to be true that process took half a century, isnt really finished by now and wasnt very thorough anyway, Filbinger ect.) The US? Is the single remaining superpower, sequestered on its own continent with moats thousands of kilometers wide, nuclear arms and a military the size of the next 9 leading nations put together. Not to mention control of GPS, internet backbone, most of the sattelite and electronic surveillance, a black-ops industry second to none with agents everywhere.... . If you guys slide into fascism, nobody is gonna be able to invade, occupy and denazify you. Nobody. For decades. Aint gonna happen, for economic reasons alone. This cannot be solved WW2-style (and be grateful for it....getting bombed into submission and occupied has its own massive problems, and mainly for tghose not responsible in any way)
@@nilesbutler8638 I'd like to imagine that's incorrect. If we complete slide into fascism, I'd like to believe there are enough of us to initiate a civil war. I'd like to believe the military would splinter into a small pro-fascist faction and a substantially largely anti-fascist faction. Of course, with control of our nuclear arsenal indeterminate due to that civil war, I'd like to believe every historic ally in the world would invade to help curb stomp the fascists.
How can they be so open about this? 88? Red triangle? This isnt subtle, this isnt dogwhistling, thats an open honmage. How can anyone not react to that? Greetings from germany by the way.
You fail to understand how outright terrible the American education system is, if it isn't jerking off America's efforts in the war then it's quickly glossed over.
@@alexanderson4497 if ever that jerking off is justified it is in regards to world war 2, isnt it? Dont they learn ANYTHING about the regime they fought?

@@julian7247 Well, the US came very late, got paid handily to sell support to the allies "neutrally for years first, and that way inherited/bought world reserve currency status and anglo-imperialism, and left the massive brunt of the dying and killing to the USSR. They caused 70% of german casualities, after all. . I mean - I know most US media present it like the "greatest generation" alone won that war, but the reality looks quite different. Would it have been won without the US? Possibly not. Did the US decisively ruin germany on the field? Not until its might was already broken, the eastern front already collapsed and in retreat, the british bombing campaign already laid germany to waste.
Full disclosure of my own biases: The first time I clicked on one of your videos, as a left-leaning Canadian my first though "Oh, white guy with a trucker hat and a souther drawl is gonna talk politics..." and I grabbed the popcorn. It wasn't 30 seconds before I had to admit my snap judgments could not have been more wrong. The graceful balance you've found between logic and emotion, and the way you articulate ideas is engaging, informative, and most importantly: inspiring. Please, please, please keep up the good work. As someone who can only watch November from my couch, I pray reasonable minds prevail and we can begin the process of healing. God bless.
Same effect on me. An Irishman who travels to the US every month for work. I happened to be in Chicago on Nov 5th 2016. Walked with protestors that night.
Also from Canada, with the same initial thought. Wanted to hear what I believed would be a Trump supporter had to say. You cannot read a book by its cover, and Beau, you truly restored my faith in American people. Please keep doing your very important work.
Australian here, my first time watching this channel I was looking to here a conservative viewpoint on some issue and was super confused as I was waiting for the bat-sh*ttery to start.
Similar here: I'm a democratic socialist from Germany, but I also enjoy a good gun channel. So this was either going to be interesting or hilarious. It turned out to be informative and I was obviously a dupe.
This, and several other recent videos by Beau, should be in much wider distribution, much more widely available, just for the education that many people would benefit from, and many people who would actually be very interested to learn and know these things. We know our corporate media will not present factual, documented information like this.
@@Metalbass10000 I repost some of Beau on twitter. I also repost my favorite Brit from A Different Bias channel. I've been following Brexit for 2 years. Boris Johnson does everything Trump does. They even have their own Stephen Miller, a fascist type called Dominic Cummings, who also knows Putin. They too feel like their country is going to fall apart. Boris Johnson is REFUSING to release their Russia investigation. Scotland is trying to get independence from the UK. Ireland is moving ever closer to reunification, because Ireland is STILL part of the EU! And Johnson lied and screwed over Northern Ireland!
That is a great line..and very very sad. The idea that people feel bigger by trying to make others smaller is very sad. That little German man is still an icon to many..he hated all the right people. Keep on with these videos please.

Arbitrary..remember the Christians and the lions during the Roman Empire, public lynchings where they brought picnics..this has been here forever.

Us Ex Skinheads know that number and that symbol. We/I got away from that because we learned, grew, and realized empathy is a more than knowing someones pain. It is also feeling that pain. 20 years ago, I realized my wrong, and ran. I was silent. It has caught up, and I won't run or hide what I was any longer. This is the first time I've said this or admitted this to anyone outside my wife(She didn't know me at that time), and close friends(same). My parents knew, and disowned me for a bit. But trust in my views changing have reestablished the love. I see that part of my life shameful, and have found love and acceptance. I truly am sorry for any pain I may have caused in past, and hope to cause change in the for the better. And thank you Beau for this place.

Their country was in ruble , millions dead and still , he had support. Kinda reminds me of something.
I gave up Facebook several years ago so I can’t/don’t want to see for myself. However, while I understand the 88 reference, I’m uncertain about the “number of words in the first line of each ad.” Beau doesn’t explain further. Just guessing here, are there 14 words? If so, how many desperate ads are we talking about?

Thank you, Beau! I follow you for quite a while; this was one video I needed personally, as an East German growing up hearing the stories of Hans and Sophie growing up, visiting a former Nazi camp at the age 13. I am an American now and it is very distressing to see fascism grow in the U.S. These are not harmless symbols usable for jokes. People died fighting the "small German guy" and what he stood for.

As a former evangelical Christian, I can tell you the people I knew within the religious community felt their hair stand on end when gay marriage was made legal. This alliance with Trump is a deal with the devil and nothing more. They can't stand him, they think he's a bully, but they also can't bear to watch the secular culture in America gain traction, and faith leaders want the church to be seen as pure of heart via public opinion. They'll keep him in to keep skepticism towards their agenda and secular ideas out of the White House.

Allegedly, some of Sophie's final words: "How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"
Her words are moving. I feel the same way, why are so many people just focused on their own work and leisure, essentially saying "this is fine" about all the awfulness of the world. Even though they sometimes post about it on FB. Even though the consequences of fighting back are far less severe than they were in Nazi Germany. (remember , Sophie Scholl was executed for distributing anti-Nazi flyers)
It's not really allegedly, her cellmate Else Gebel recorded Sophie Scholl's last words before she was taken away to be executed, they were sent in a letter to Sophie's father I believe

Someone I work with tried to say we cannot remove racist statues here or else history will be forgotten and repeat itself. (I'm in alabama, I dont blame him for not remembering what books are.) Well, nobody has forgotten German history, yet here we are. It's almost like remembering history isn't really the issue here.
Statues aren't how we teach history. Books, lectures, and documentaries teach history. *Statues show who we uphold as role models.* 😐 All those statues of people who fought to keep black people oppressed are saying, in effect, "It's good to oppress black people." Since a lot of those statues were put in in the 1920's, that's their intended message.
Won’t we be renaming shit forever. Knocking down every statue of someone a hundred years later once what’s normal changes and we all turn into the bad guys through the new lens of history? Aren’t like thousands of people starving to death right now in countries that mine minerals for slave wages that enable us to watch these videos and play game on our devices?

I love the US military and although I'm a civilian now I have had the privilege, as a former member of the British armed forces, to serve alongside some of the brightest and sharpest minds the US military has to offer and I can confidently say that in all my time of service during the Trump administration, not one of them had a good word to say about the commander in chief. When your leader loses the military, you have a loser in office.

"The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive'. The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves-or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too-those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe? From what?

It has been my experience that barley is more often involved in releasing rage, than suppressing it. Humor aside, that quiet rage is one of betrayal. The treasonous motives and actions, subverting what America is supposed to stand for, are what Americans used to go to war AGAINST.

My question Beau of the Fifth Column is this - How do we live with the fact that 35-40 percent of all Americans fit the bill? They are not going away. They will try to elect another authoritarian - possibly someone who does "know how to be racist" and actually know how to use the levers of government. How do we move forward with the anchor of that many people?
The truth can set them free, in a very real sense. Trump wouldn't be where he is if not for Conservative media. Even after he is out of office, there is the problem of FoxNews/Limbaugh/O'Reilly/Beck/OAN/Brightbart/etc. Not to mention the people who just took over VOA. Trump's followers need to be brought back in touch with reality. The propaganda that passes for News cannot be allowed to continue.

I pulled one of your shirts right out of the mailer and went to the store. As I was going in, a guy leaving shouted something at me. Because of his mask, I don't know if it was a verbal HIGH FIVE or a single fingered salute. But Beau, you are getting people's attention. And with your message, that can only be good. Shalom
I went and counted out the letters of the first sentence of the ad's, It came out to 79. Checked the other sentences and none came out to 88. I also can't find anything on the number of ad's ran. Would you mind sending me the source you used for this video so I can reference it? they might have messed up the 88 part. The red triangle is obviously a thing though.
Yay! Sophie is a hero of mine too and I'm ordering this shirt first thing in the morning. Thank you for bringing it back.
I could've sworn I'd left a comment earlier on this video about CDA section 230, came back wondering if there were any responses and the comment seems to be gone. Don't know what to think honestly and everything I've seen so far is bootlicking or dismissive, not really anything helpful on what the actual effect would be.

A lot of right-wing people claim the Naz*s were socialist.
...So then you reply and ask them why the Naz*s shipped the socialists to the camps first?
...You get to watch some logical backflips next, it's interesting.
Sorry but the antisemitism coming from both sides is absurd. The left keeps posting farakahn quotes and videos . Maybe get your head out your asses
You gotta be kidding me, being a German I froze when I heard about the Triangle, the White Rose and the 88 and couldn't believe my ears. This is just sick in so many ways. Never thought Trump would be so openly antisemitic, but he never fails to disappoint.
I was born in the USA and my mum got us out to Australia. In Australia we learned about Sophie, the white rose and the triangle in history class. I am beyond disgusted that those symbols are being used today with ignorance from most people who don't know what they mean..
I did too, when I heard eighty-eight my blood froze as well and I am not German but I know all too well about the gravity of that number.
About the only thing he doesn't fail at.
@penguins inadiorama Maybe in the US. In Germany, red roses are for lovers, white ones for funerals, irrespective of the character of the deceased. To a German, a white rose symbolises grief, not heroism.
Which is why Sophie and her group chose it, AIUI.
Another German here: I thought this had to be a bad joke.. than my blood froze and shivers rolled down my spine. In hindsight to his Tweet yesterday ("Delay the vote") i hope you get your country straight.
Bei der Rethorik läuft es mir kalt den Rücken herunter.

@@mister3horn153 Nah, we're done with that kind of stuff ;)
@@mister3horn153
You see - there´s the difference.
Germany was a middle power that massively overestimated its own capabilities and basically only had its initial successes because of surprise and a splintered and undecisive opposition.
And still took the greatest alliance of powers ever to be forged, to be beaten, occupied and "reeducated" (although to be true that process took half a century, isnt really finished by now and wasnt very thorough anyway, Filbinger ect.)
The US?
Is the single remaining superpower, sequestered on its own continent with moats thousands of kilometers wide, nuclear arms and a military the size of the next 9 leading nations put together. Not to mention control of GPS, internet backbone, most of the sattelite and electronic surveillance, a black-ops industry second to none with agents everywhere....
.
If you guys slide into fascism, nobody is gonna be able to invade, occupy and denazify you.
Nobody.
For decades.
Aint gonna happen, for economic reasons alone.
This cannot be solved WW2-style (and be grateful for it....getting bombed into submission and occupied has its own massive problems, and mainly for tghose not responsible in any way)
@@nilesbutler8638 I'd like to imagine that's incorrect. If we complete slide into fascism, I'd like to believe there are enough of us to initiate a civil war. I'd like to believe the military would splinter into a small pro-fascist faction and a substantially largely anti-fascist faction. Of course, with control of our nuclear arsenal indeterminate due to that civil war, I'd like to believe every historic ally in the world would invade to help curb stomp the fascists.
Anyone else think Stephen Miller's grubby little hands had something to do with this.
_raises hand._
Eric Ferguson I think you’re giving him too much credit.
I just posted the same thing before I scrolled down and saw your post. Stephen Miller just screams "aging skinhead" to me.
he also said that henry ford had good blood... and germans have good blood... that never did sit right with me.

How can they be so open about this? 88? Red triangle? This isnt subtle, this isnt dogwhistling, thats an open honmage. How can anyone not react to that? Greetings from germany by the way.
You fail to understand how outright terrible the American education system is, if it isn't jerking off America's efforts in the war then it's quickly glossed over.

Just a little about the Holocaust. Thenna few names dates and generals. Nothing in depth.

@@julian7247 Well, the US came very late, got paid handily to sell support to the allies "neutrally for years first, and that way inherited/bought world reserve currency status and anglo-imperialism,
and left the massive brunt of the dying and killing to the USSR. They caused 70% of german casualities, after all.
.
I mean - I know most US media present it like the "greatest generation" alone won that war,
but the reality looks quite different.
Would it have been won without the US? Possibly not.
Did the US decisively ruin germany on the field?
Not until its might was already broken, the eastern front already collapsed and in retreat,
the british bombing campaign already laid germany to waste.

Full disclosure of my own biases: The first time I clicked on one of your videos, as a left-leaning Canadian my first though "Oh, white guy with a trucker hat and a souther drawl is gonna talk politics..." and I grabbed the popcorn. It wasn't 30 seconds before I had to admit my snap judgments could not have been more wrong. The graceful balance you've found between logic and emotion, and the way you articulate ideas is engaging, informative, and most importantly: inspiring.
Please, please, please keep up the good work. As someone who can only watch November from my couch, I pray reasonable minds prevail and we can begin the process of healing. God bless.

This, and several other recent videos by Beau, should be in much wider distribution, much more widely available, just for the education that many people would benefit from, and many people who would actually be very interested to learn and know these things. We know our corporate media will not present factual, documented information like this.
@@Metalbass10000 I repost some of Beau on twitter. I also repost my favorite Brit from A Different Bias channel. I've been following Brexit for 2 years. Boris Johnson does everything Trump does. They even have their own Stephen Miller, a fascist type called Dominic Cummings, who also knows Putin. They too feel like their country is going to fall apart. Boris Johnson is REFUSING to release their Russia investigation. Scotland is trying to get independence from the UK. Ireland is moving ever closer to reunification, because Ireland is STILL part of the EU! And Johnson lied and screwed over Northern Ireland!
I'd go further, Trump supporters don't care if he hurts them either so long as he hurts those they don't like even more.
"He hurts people and that's what they like" That's a real eye-opener. That motivation never occurred to me but it makes sense.
That is a great line..and very very sad. The idea that people feel bigger by trying to make others smaller is very sad. That little German man is still an icon to many..he hated all the right people. Keep on with these videos please.

But trust in my views changing have reestablished the love. I see that part of my life shameful, and have found love and acceptance. I truly am sorry for any pain I may have caused in past, and hope to cause change in the for the better. And thank you Beau for this place.

Allegedly, some of Sophie's final words: "How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"
Her words are moving. I feel the same way, why are so many people just focused on their own work and leisure, essentially saying "this is fine" about all the awfulness of the world. Even though they sometimes post about it on FB. Even though the consequences of fighting back are far less severe than they were in Nazi Germany. (remember , Sophie Scholl was executed for distributing anti-Nazi flyers)
It's not really allegedly, her cellmate Else Gebel recorded Sophie Scholl's last words before she was taken away to be executed, they were sent in a letter to Sophie's father I believe

When your leader loses the military, you have a loser in office.

Well we are tossing that turmp poser and his regime OUT.
My parents were born in Albania. During WW2 the Albanian people hid Jews and never gave up a single Jew. Instead of thinking "what can I do?" They thought "what else could I do?"
"The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive'. The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves-or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small.
It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too-those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe.
Safe? From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does.
I choose my own way to burn." -Sophie Scholl

I showed this video to my wife and kids so they understand what happened, this is a dark stain in American politics. Thank you for your explanation Beau, you are wonderful at explaining subject matter.
Beau, I just want you to know how much I appreciate your intellect and perspective. Thank you! Always something to ponder.
I'm actually more concerned about the people who support him precisely because he ticks off all 14 of the characteristics of a fascist demagogue.
@John ProctorI agree with your frustration. It reminds me of a different video that Beau did on the "Sunk Cost Fallacy", I believe to be an economic term, but applied socially?
But, today I do have a nugget of hope with the 'pandemic truthers'. My sister is in that and all of the categories above and I was finally able to text her last evening and...what???
Yeah, she's in a 14 day quarantine after learning she had been in contact with a person who was positive.

@Wren Stimpificus You have no cultural marxists in the US. Your imagination and paranoia is not half as good an argument to others as it is to you.
@Wren Stimpificus you'd rather have a fascist th... wait, why not just have _neither,_ you wimp? Avoiding eating an arsenic sandwich by eating a cyanide one is no victory. And the fact you're arguing over which sandwich is tastier shows you're missing the point entirely.
No need to apologize for your excellent style and ability to explain complex issues in simple terms. Keep up the GOOD work Beau! You are an excellent communicator.
He went from a dogwhistle to a foghorn.

I never thought I'd see Ann Coulter turn on him but she did, because he's a failure.
Perhaps because "he can't even racist right". She and her conservative turd wads are now looking for a replacement.
Coulter's a vulture - she feeds on carrion. Trump isn't providing her with enough Liberal carcasses, so she's slithering out to see who's going to take his place if he loses the election. IF he wins, she'll find a reason to support him, at least for the next 3 years or so.
Ann Colter is a performance artist she'll go whichever way the ad revenue is the best. Supporting trump is causing advertisers to drop away. So she "turned" to follow the money.
I know, right!
Stephen Miller at work! Scary
Oldie light bulb head
I think Trump is too stupid to do this on purpose. But, Stephen, he’s picking numbers and images very much on purpose.
But why Stephen Miller? He is jew

Hey man, before I even watch the video I wanna thank you for keeping me informed on things! God bless man, keep up the good work!
Agreed! There is so much he points out and so much I learn from him.
Beau, I'm really glad you are making this content. You are a force of logic, empathy, and positivity in a time where those things are rare. Your work has created a forum in these comments that is unlike others: namely that it is free from the racist overtones that plague other videos around the same topics. Please keep making videos. We need you, brother.
Your ability to present an argument, deliver the detail and exquisitly express your levels of intelligence. Are AWESOME. Thank you.

You're talking about people who read The Watchmen and V For Vendetta and thought "Oh cool" instead of "Oh Shit".
Beau... Thanks for being the voice of reason at this time.. Some of us really need it right now.
Trump does not know a red triangle from a hotdog. this is Miller man.
Exactly. I believe he didn’t know about June 19th. We should always be paying more attention to the people around him.
Trump is not aware of any details for sure, he is to lazy to put in the work. But he approves of the direction that it's going.

Again I ask:
How far does trump have to go before we finally declare him a tyrant?
I'm already calling him a tyrant
Honestly, it will happen after the election. If/when he calls the election rigged, refuses to leave and calls on the military. That will be true tyrannical behavior. So far it’s been mostly bluster.
Like Beau said, he’s a failure.
I've been saying it since day one.
It doesn't matter if "we" declare him a tyrant when he has enablers in Congress who are willing to wave that off as "liberal hysteria". We have to target ALL of them in the upcoming elections.
Oh some of us have always called him that.
when ever i watch Beau, i get the impression that there is barley suppressed rage below the surface in regard to what trump has done and is continuing to do to the once great nation. I appreciate you thoughts and hope that citizens will see reason and vote accordingly. Good luck America
He's not the only one suppressing rage.
It has been my experience that barley is more often involved in releasing rage, than suppressing it. Humor aside, that quiet rage is one of betrayal. The treasonous motives and actions, subverting what America is supposed to stand for, are what Americans used to go to war AGAINST.
I know that feeling...
Yeah, and that's exactly where you want to be, you want to know they depth of your own anger and aggression, and be able to act on it if you have to - but have it in check so you can present good arguments that meet people from their own point of view.
As a Canadain I stumbled on your video's because someone shared on FB. I've been watching non stop for almost 5 hours.. THANK YOU ! Finally a voice of reason and sanity. I'm ex military and your comments and attitude strike home. You have given me hope for our friends south of the boarder. Don't give up the good fight.
If only MSNBC or CNN would broadcast your commentary. You are a true revolutionary man and you always got a open invitation if you in the Chicago area.
No, in that case he would be easier to dismiss as 'fake news propaganda'
Hail from Oak Lawn/Alsip! Have a good one!
@@GorinRedspear turmp clan dismiss him or anyone who oppose them as fake news anyway.
Why would they do that? Both outlets are abject liars just like all other corporate media. Hell, MSNBC has all but admitted they're not a real news outlet.
Even 75 years after the war, the little moustached German guy still has followers.
75 years after he lost the war and shamfully ended his life. Knew his body would be beaten and paraded around town like his Italian partner. He was hated and he knew it. Trump will have those two options himself if he carries down the path he’s on.

Well howdy there Beau it's internet people again.
Beau You Are Truly a Real Patriot!!! Salute To You... Hoorah Brother!💪
My question Beau of the Fifth Column is this - How do we live with the fact that 35-40 percent of all Americans fit the bill? They are not going away. They will try to elect another authoritarian - possibly someone who does "know how to be racist" and actually know how to use the levers of government. How do we move forward with the anchor of that many people?
like beau said, you appeal to practicalities not ethics
Slowly, dragging them behind us. But if we all pull together, they won't be too heavy.
By noting everyone is fallible and maybe if you stay at 2 meters we can share some beers.
That over time that number is going to shrink. Father Time will change what man will not.
The truth can set them free, in a very real sense. Trump wouldn't be where he is if not for Conservative media. Even after he is out of office, there is the problem of FoxNews/Limbaugh/O'Reilly/Beck/OAN/Brightbart/etc. Not to mention the people who just took over VOA.
Trump's followers need to be brought back in touch with reality. The propaganda that passes for News cannot be allowed to continue.
"The man can't even build a fence" Oh that's good stuff Beau!
Beau you get it, I listen to you all the time, your commentary is always honest and truthful. It's obvious you are well informed and very objective. Keep up the good work. You have a lot of us in your corner.

I say this as someone who's a huge fan of, I think, everything you do, and espouse, this was some of your best work.
Thanks for giving props to Sophie Scholl, and thank you for being a part of the dialogue. I may not agree with everything you say, but I respect that you combine your views and your emotions to create a powerful message.
For anyone wondering what those 14 characteristics Beau mentions at 4:31 are, look up Umberto Eco's Ur Fascim. Then compare them with Trump's rhetoric.
Mr Eco, said that if a state has only one, it can be considered fascist-leaning, or heading in that direction.
This is probably the only 100% Trump will ever get on a test.
He also gets probably 100% on the medical diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.
Oh and a 100% chance of bonespurs when draftet.
@@vertigo4236 oh if those were things you could mathematically get a perfect score at, he'd probably be up there! I can bet you he'd get a 110% somehow if it came to dodging the war!
Thank you, I wasn't 100% sure what the 14 points were about but, sadly, I guessed correctly.
He gets most of Hare's psychopathy checklist. That's outdated in psychology, but it's pretty fascinating to see how many of those boxes he ticks off.
And he got an A on his IQ test!
He's certainly taking "saying the quiet part loud" to a while new level.
Brother I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and I'm blown by your calm intelligent demeanor when bringing home your points ........keep up the good work!
"He's a failure" is the message that will resonate. I think his unforced errors will be as big a factor in his defeat than anything the dems can do.
He's no failure. He's been hugely successful! Trump like all presidents are master manipulators...he has successfully manipulated his base. He hasn't fulfilled one campaign promise and he still has a following! AMAZING!May even win 2020. He is successfully fulfilling the globalist one world agenda (and they don't even know it)
Love your content, Beau. Thank you.

Oh, don't worry. We Europeans have been insulted enough in the past three years that we actually care very little what you Americans do to yourselves.
@@GorinRedspear The United States didn't want to get involved in the war in Europe either, it wasn't our problem. Then somehow the US realized what would happen if they didn't.
@@oceanaxim Well, no.
Somehow the US got dragged into it because the Japanese attacked you, and the Germans were allied with the Japanese and declared war on YOU.
I appreciate very much what was done back then, but historical facts have their rights. The USA stepped in because the were FORCED to step in, not because they wanted to.
@@GorinRedspear this is true, America was very isolationist back then, and WW1 had "just" happened. But then Japan attacked, and the rest is history.
Hell, the German guy has supporters even now.
radical as he was, his fought bravely in WW1, and then saw German torn apart soon after that. up to the point of 1940, thing seem fine by all mean, and even some can argue that if he won the war, (or the British agreed to end the war), German would become more like the US, German (white) on top, Jew (black) as second class citizen. but the War drained German resources and they were starving.... and we know the rest of the story

“He can’t even raciest right”. Great line.
I'm so glad you brought up Sophie Scholl. I have visited her grave (along with her brother Hans) many times in Munich. I have often wondered if that might be the need...to start a White Rose Movement equivalent, in America, to counter Trump's most dark tendencies. I hope it doesn't come down to that...
Let's hope you won't end up in the same circumstances.
Just kick the idiot out, come november.
