    Thanks for the hours of free content. I’ve been following your channel for a long time and it’s great to see it change over time.

      @@ChrisSheltonMscI support you Chris, and you don’t have to explain yourself, to people who are in the cult or bots sent her by Russia to be agitators. You would be shocked at the amount of people hired by Russia and Putin, the amount he pays bots and bot farms and Putin propagandists, to promote propaganda and who support Trump, it’s a crazy number and they can tweet out thousands of tweets per hour and thousands of comments. They get paid very well to do that and Russian tactics like this are designed to destroy us from within. What’s shocking is the amount of politicians that support our enemy, Putin.
      We have had many experts that defected from there explain that to us. They have reached a huge goal in creating divisiveness in our politics and even our own politicians and the right winged media personalities as well as right winged TH-camrs have been recently caught being funded in massive amounts to produce Russian propaganda, by Russia. In fact Tim Poole just announced he is shutting down now. This is because his Russian propaganda money has been stopped. Since our government found out how these right winged online personalities were being funded.
      You have huge personalities like Tucker Carlson doing propaganda, and Jordan Peterson was just named as one of the people being paid by Russia as well the group of other online personalities like Dave Rubin and Tim Poole who were paid exorbitant amounts to put out straight Putin propaganda about the Ukraine and to support Trump. If they only understood like the American Richard Texas Bentley who went to fight for Putin and was murdered by Russian soldiers which is a common occurrence where Russian soldiers are killed by their own military. He was killed by Russian soldiers.
      This is highly dangerous to our country and the cult of Putin who is basically made his money off stealing from his own people, then attacked the Ukraine an staunch ally to us, has been disastrous to our country. You won’t appreciate what freedoms you have until you lose them. You are part of the media resistance, with your knowledge of cults and I thank you for it. ❤️

    I grew up in a high demand religion and extricated myself mostly, but my mum is still in. She is a Trump follower, in spite of being morally opposed to everything he stands for. I don't get how someone can be against everything yet overlook all of these qualities when the stakes are so critical. If a person could tell me why they support him (vs me presenting all of the negative things) it might be easier to understand. Many say their reason is how he runs USA like a business, yet he has bankrupted casinos and multiple businesses. I could make many similar arguments, but I'll leave it there. I'm 100% in support of voting for whoever you believe will be the best candidate, since that's fundamental to being an American. What doesn't make sense is the blind trust in spite of facts.

      ​@connsmith722 That's the question I'm asking, striving to remain non-political in this comment as possible. What does he actually stand for? Any opportunity to express, "this is what I believe the country and its citizens need, and here is how I'm going to make it happen" is met with a rambling response that any judge would rule as non-responsive. If he said something that could be agreed with or refuted, I would have something to work with, but this would require facts or the absence of facts to debate. His approach is to throw insults and disparage opponents rather than prove himself as the preferred candidate. All that does is present himself as the lesser of two evils.

      Trump has plenty of good qualities and logical supporters who just like his policies. Most who identify as MAGA are just not all there mentally, have very low IQ, and are very gullible and weak. Same goes for big time Obama supporters, but Trumps cult base is more wacked out mentally and delusional in many ways. It's not trumps fault though that many of his supporters are so far gone though. It just shows he's a good politician and a good con man, which is a good thing. That's what politics is about. Who can con their supporters betters, and you do that by picking up many of the weak people who are easily confused. Trump is much better than Kamala, and also has Elon Musk helping him, so I think he can do well as president, definitely much better than last time.

      I don't recall anything like the fanaticism of the MAGA cult operating around Obama. I do recall the massive financial meltdown under his predecessor, G.W. Bush , and the widespread economic distress that Obama walked into. He lost a lot of the most passionate progressive Democrats when he bailed out the "too big to fail" corporations and sub-prime lenders who had CAUSED the crash. Tell me about the tiki torch neo-nazi parades and assaults on the Capitol instigated by Obama. It was all HIM, not Trump, right ? Please. Sanity doesn't need a fan club.

I don't think Obamas was at the levels of Trump, but there was some cult like devotion, and politics is culty anyway, it's just how it is. Definitely not as wacked out as most who identify as MAGA though. MAGA is a good slogan, but most who identify as it just aren't all there mentally and are very low intelligence, gullible, and weak as a whole. That's not Trumps fault though. He has good qualities. The dems and MAGA both have would you could call TDS. Most of both of those parties do.

      Successful? Please explain how Trump was a "successful president". He was impeached twice in one short term. He drove UP the national debt by 7 TRILLION dollars during that time. Who has to pay for that? Certainly, you can't believe he will. Over one million Americans perished from Covid 19 due to Trump's deliberate mishandling of that devastating public health crisis. Many, many more were set back in school, in work, in society because of that mishandled crisis, too. Yet, Biden has managed to steer the USA out of a Trump-made recession and toward a full recovery faster than any other nation on the planet. Too much of a "good thing" to endure? Perhaps your values need some examination and adjustment.
