As another non American the speech where Biden looked like he was about to declare the first galactic empire followed by the various increasingly unhinged mutterings from people who I hoped knew better sent chills through me. It certainly gave the impression that if there was a fascistic takeover in the states that is where it was going to come from.
biden is an advocate for hate speech. He spews it everyday. He even hates those that he interviews with. Bullseye? I didn't mean a literal target on trump. Ive only been telling people to focus on trump. When you vilify someone and someone decides to take matters into their own hands, and you don't take responsibility for the things you said to what you think is, "fair game in a political race" you knowingly support the idea of someone else doing the assassinating. Just watch America. Biden will come back in a couple months spewing his hatred once again for Trump. Even if it is tempered, its for the sake of winning the election. Not for the sake of backtracking anything he has said up till now.
Being on the right side of history is simply to survive and have children. So if somebody threatens you with not being on the right side of history, what they are truly saying is that they want to murder you for having a different opinion. Point in case: the USSR killed everyone with an openly or perceived different opinion in their gulags.

There's a big reason why I fundamentally refuse to use the term democracy to describe government's. California's oligarchy is a democracy. The United states's government is a constitutional republic.
As someone born and raised in California, I can confirm that this once great state has been decimated by the politics and policies of the Democrat party.

(see literally any clip of Biden). Wake up and smell reality.
Really not a good idea. There was another example of that in Canada recently. There was a byelection for a parliament seat in Toronto that the libs have held solidly for over 30 years. The deputy Prime Minister called anyone who votes conservative "Cold, cruel, and small". Take a wild guess what happened.
@@kamui003 The party was so freaked out by it, they're talking about replacing Trudeau just like the dems are trying to replace Brandon. Toronto is every bit as liberal as San Fran.

He didn't forget. He mentioned it (albeit not explicitly) earlier in the video when he talked about the recent political history. He's mentioned it before in more explicit terms as well, in previous videos. But life he said, this isn't a political channel - which I for one greatly appreciate.
I never saw that political ad before. My god was it disgustingly obnoxious and condescending. Famous people gladhanding themselves repeatedly for being famous and, oh, yeah, register to vote.
There was a similar one with just the MCU crew telling electors to vote against Trump after the election can't make this up. It's identical looking but slightly different celebs and message. th-cam.com/video/e1zjNntlXPo/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUSbWN1IGVsZWN0b3JzIHZpZGVv
In a sense, it was a warning. You had Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle talking down to us. The Avengers were trying to tell us who to vote for. It was a sign that the MCU would go downhill.
That whole style of having celebrities repeat the same thing over and over between different celebrities before moving to the next word is disgustingly cringe.
What's worse is the ad that followed the 2016 results where a bunch of actors tried overthrowing the election by getting electors to vote against their state's wishes.
You still got glimpses of them when they did interviews. Sometimes the mask DID slip, but studios seemed to have more leverage over their actors in the past, or seemed to.

@@TheKamilkrawczakSome people might as well have been. Everybody is dealing with their own life and issues. Politics probably takes up less than 1% of their attention.

There's a popular saying, "You can ignore politics, but politics won't ignore you."

How is someone being democratically elected a threat to democracy? Seems like anything that isn't voted the way they want is a threat to democracy in their eyes. They're so entitled.
A democratically elected leader can still abuse his power and damage or overturn a democracy. It's what Salvador Allende and Adolf Hitler did. Of course, it's a stupid threat in this case. Trump was already in power once and didn't do any of this.
Considering Hollywood has managed to make the most successful franchises in the world, and turn them into things said fans despise, and has not figured it out yet, yeah, Hollywood is not going to change that easily.
You are also talking about an industry KNOWN for never changing their behaviour, only its strategy. Also, the rewarding of toxicity and entitlement (if you have the right kind of political affiliation) also led to cultivation of toxic egos that simply CANNOT fathom that they could be potentially wrong about something. Now they are using common people as props to keep THEIR money flowing in and their lifestyles intact, no matter what that means for anyone else. Nobody gives a damn about "famous people" anymore - people have seen how much "famous people" hate them, and that feeling has led to people going elsewhere. The collapse of a genuine terrible place like Hollywood (and all the lives it has destroyed in its history) might be EXACTLY what world cinema needs - to break the cultural and economic stranglehold one film industry has on filmmaking worldwide - one industry that surpresses ACTUAL world cinema so that it can dominate and exploit everything it touches, with the sole objective of economically enrich itself.
Except that the economic core of Fascism was crony capitalism, corporatism in it's original version, and economic imperialism. Marxist economics don't have any of that.
Which half the leftists loved. The idea that Fascism is rightwing is a historical rewrite good read largest opinion back then Fascism was the progressive new kid on the block that was seen as the incrimentalist socialist Revolution.
Nazism is national socialism Communism is international socialism Nazis hates people of other cultures Communist hates their own citizens. That is pretty much the only difference
Yes, their democracy, not ours. And we aren't a democracy, we are a Republic (as you said). We vote for people who represent our concerns. They can afford $19.00 for one steak at the grocery store. They are worth millions, I'm not. I have to vote my pocketbook... but, also, I pity the young, they aren't going to have the chances my husband and I had back in the 1970s and 80s... they are going to live lesser lives because they can't build up their wealth. The true Middle Class is nearly destroyed in the USA. That is what has happened and Hollywood is partly to blame for it. The illegal immigrant question is actually the biggest of our century. Millions are coming to take jobs away from our own young, and we've put our own children in permanent servitude by insisting they take out loans for college educations.
Fifty years ago Marlon Brando had the original "Fake Native American Activist" refuse his Oscar. I could watch his movies without holding it against him because he was the first. When it comes to the one-hundred-twenty-first, I no longer feel the same way.

None of them want to admit that Trump is a political moderate. He embraced the gay community during his campaign. He supports State rights when it comes to abortion. He is the only candidate that is against warfare.

That bullet was meant for all of us, and I can only thank God for saving us.

The sad thing is that trump is a liar and traitor and didnt do a single thing he ran on, then launched the couff', fake pandemic wich is the globalist plan to destroy our economy, rob the rest of our money inject everyone with a bio-weapon and starve the rest. But none of my countrymen have caught up. Everyone is just being fooled with the false 2 party scam again, and again, and again... Everyone is 'all in' on Trump now and we will just be stuck in the globalist status quo yet again.
Trump may not have great character, but that doesn't mean he's incompetent. Yes, he'll cause some drama here and there and lie about the size of his crowds or whatever, but if he gets the job done then that's what matters. So I do think he can be a quality leader.
considering the other political candidates that wanted to debate that fateful June day got rejected by CNN, the higher ups only have themselves to blame for this mess. while Trump isn't what many would immediately look at as a competent leader, the fact is he did pretty well those 4 years he was in office even when the whole media cycle was bashing and demeaning his every action. that on top of his immediate actions during the assassination attempt and....well.... man's got alot on his side now. The Republicans cant change candidates as that would be political suicide, and the Democrats....the democrats were flailing after the June debate and its only gotten worse since. Personally, Kamala aint gonna win the vote, no matter how many times people say she will. I recall many things she's said and heard, and I don't blame people for saying they don't see her as presidential material. basically, the powers that be have shot themselves in the foot. every tactic to take orange man down has only made him stronger and (incredibly) more likable to the masses. A large number of Blacks and Hispanics have jumped ship to the republican side, and some news personel have had meltdowns about this. but again, the Dems have only themselves to blame. Theyve unintentionally given Trump everything he needs to win. American politics is a comedy, and im eating it up. Whatever the outcome this Fall, it will surely go into the history books (I just hope no more shootings happen). So who will win: Orange man, Kamala, or an unknown challenger. Tune in next time for Dragonball Politico.
Actors in general are people who were too dim to get a real job that does actual stuff, they just dress up in costumes and pretend to be a productive or skilled person for the camera. Their political opinions should be seen through that lens.

So, while Sykes-Picot was conniving and sneaky of the Colonial powers, it was better for the rest of the world overall.
@@JiriJustra No, don't leave politics for the experts. Vote for someone that thinks and acts like you (in short, a representative), and leave it to that person.

Just replace “Maga Republicans” with “Progressives / the Democratic Party”, and it’s an exact description of the crazy left and the msm that prop them up. Hilarious!
I’m an American, and my vote wasn’t even counted during the last election. Oddly enough, all the people I know that voted for Trump had their votes go missing during the election season. For those wondering how we know that our votes weren’t counted, there’s a site you can log into that keeps track of your vote. I was also part of the “sharpie gate” and was forced to use a sharpie instead of a pen. Then the guy running the machine that counted votes looked at my ballet, typed something into the machine, and then put my ballet into the machine. Kind of weird, don’t you think? There was a lot more corruption as well like all the dead people voting, but anyone who voiced concern was labeled as N@zis or terrorists by the media and Biden.
LOL LOL LOL. Maybe you should change your voting system, your´s is on par with most third world countries where only rich people (like in the US) can be candidates LOL
@@ricardojuanlopeznaranjo6651 It's more like the election got changed in 2020. Election day turned into Election Week where it took a week to count ballots that "showed up late." That's how Biden is more popular than Obama when it comes to "official" votes.
The problem is, the damage is done... Hollywood separate not only the US, but also the entire world. Even people outside the US like myself had enough with Hollywood making their problems others problems by force. Not to mention the amount of franchise and good faith they obligated in their world wide temper tantrum. Even if the "reboot" (which honestly I doubt since, they are extremely deranged), is a success, they will still will never live this down, and honestly after this Hollywood is forever damaged.
As an American who definitely finds politics to be a frustrating, but also compelling spectator sport I have to say that the odds of Hollywood actually making substantive changes to their politics in the next 2-3 years is extremely low despite the increasingly obvious shift in the potential audience which is no longer willing to tolerate open political diatribes pretending to be entertainment. The problem won't be the actors. in fact I suspect that many actors are becoming increasingly nervous about the situation as recent events have gotten more than a few entertainment elites cancelled not by Hollywood itself, but due to the fact that a repulsed audience will refuse to pay for anything they are involved in, which results in them unable to find work. In the past they felt they had to speak out because there are financial players in Hollywood who would blacklist anyone who came out against the hard-line leftist politics they were wedded to. And while those men and women are clearly starting to run out of money, they aren't broke yet, and they'll maintain considerable influence until we see major changes within the ivory halls and towers of the corporate offices. So it will be mostly business as usual, but with a growing number of actors who try to "shut up and act" rather than make any kind of statement that might offend the larger audience. The 'modern audience' that Hollywood has been chasing for the last decade clearly doesn't exist and I think they've finally figured that out.
Americans are some of the most unexposed people in the world. We all read your history and know everything about your culture but many of you are wrapped up in your bubble, oblivious to the World around you. As a result we know what a dictator looks like, and Trump is a clown compared to the evil politicians in my country. You all don't know what a dictator looks like. I hope you never see one.
because they are shallow people who follow what they are told. If they were told the sky is green, they will make a cognitive narrative as to why it is green but why we truly see it as blue. Many people take comfort in having others think for them. Critical thinking is hard as it challenges us to look beyond what we want things to be.
I agree , but we'll need to find somebody smarter than DeNiro. While James Woods is sharp , intelligent and well read , DeNiro is the opposite on all counts and lost without a script. Such a debate would , however , be worth it for the comedy alone.
A party reboot for Hollywood?! Not a chance. They’ll ride that train straight to hell, and not for the sake of courage or determination, but because they simply know nothing else.
Everything feels "too good to be true" like, in a sense. Getting nervous about it all. Who's controlling this pendulum? We, the people? I'm not so naive...everything has always been controlled behind the scenes.
Don't get too conspiratorial here. Realistically speaking it was just mistakes made, voluntarily or forced. There are so many mistakes made to just escalated this point.
The house of cards is a nimble one, all it took was the assassination attempt to fail for it to collapse, make no mistake, Trump was meant to die, and him surviving threw a massive wrench into the whole operation.
While true: there’s only so much control you can have. Thomas Sowell points this out. The elites have intitated a wild-fire with the race-wars and DEI agenda that they CAN NOT control. That’s why they lost their mind so completely in 2016. They did what they always do and lost…so setup to cheat harder in 2020. It’s all collapsing around them now as they sprinted to hard and can’t keep their balance.
They put the politics in the movies, they endorsed bad ideas and smeared good people. They told us they don't like us, look I can forgive them as people but I can't be a fan. I can't be excited about movie stars. And if they keep making movies where I'm the bad guy and punchline, I'm gonna keep withholding my dollars.
Let's analyze ourselves for moral consistency: group exercise time. Remember when Gilbert Gottfried got "canceled" for cracking a joke about the tsunami that hit Japan? How do we feel about that?
I thought his song was okay but overall I thought that movie was kind of over hyped. Wing Commander wasn't bad but it was seen as bad because everything was so great back then. Mario wasn't good but it was seen as good because everything is just so horrible. It's like they didn't sodomize Mario so it's a good movie. That's not how anything works.
@@Drak976 Sodomize Mario? He beat Donkey Kong, saved Peach and the others from Bowser, saved the mushroom kingdom from that giant bullet bill and kicked the crap outta Bowser along with Luigi! How is that being Sodomized?
@@Invidente7 "It's like they DIDN'T sodomize Mario so it's a good movie." He was saying people were willing to give the movie a pass because it DIDN'T destroy Mario or his legacy. His point is that things have gotten so bad that simply failing to attack fans or ruin things they love is now considered good, even though twenty years ago the Mario movie would have been met with a massive "meh".
@bekker3544 I'm glad I took my family to see the Mario movie despite my criticism of casting Seth Rogan as DK. However, if Jack Black remains casted for the sequel, then it will no longer be afforded that luxury. And I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
True Canada is doing poorly but Trump has awaken many people in other countries to look at their own political problems. Sadly and annoyingly our politics do effect other countries more so then we like admit. I would love if the outside world would leave us alone and keep (most of the time ill informed opinions) to themselves but Biden’s office just showed me that we affect other countries heavily. Good news is Canada may finally get rid of that idiot Trudeau.
@MrSpartan993 sad. But true. In fact, we have it much worse. More than half the country has no voice. We are ruled by Laurentian elites in the GTA./Quebec
Hollywood actors - many of them, used to be veterans. Gene Roddenberry was an Army pilot and police officer. James Doohan lost a finger in WWII (they shot around it all those years). James Stewart rose to the rank of general in the Air Force. Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, etc. Jamie Farr (MASH) was actually a veteran of the Korean War. Leonard Nimoy also served in the US Army (and was stationed in Georgia!) I don't say that to say "everyone has to be a veteran in Hollywood." John Wayne, for example, was not. What I mean is, there was more of a connection between Hollywood actors and producers and mainstream America before it became an asylum for Communists.
I actually forgot about a few of the specific Hollywood douchebags who showed up in that "Save the Day" ad. Nathan Fillion... goddamn it. "Andrew" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Yeah, that figures. But mostly James Franco. Weird seeing him again. I love that he ended up being cancelled like 5 (proverbial) minutes later, proving that taking the pledge is absolutely useless in the long run. They'll throw any and all of their supposed friends & allies under the bus in an instant. No, Hollywood doesn't need a political reboot. It needs to become completely defunct. And all of us need to lay off of the audio-visual fiction and stop getting so emotionally attached to professional pretend-players who don't actually give a shit about anything but their own personal bottom line.
You know, most people always suspected Hollywood had looney political ideas. Most of them however were smart enough to keep it to themselves. At some point they decided it was a good idea to enter the political arena and you see the results.
Social Media was the worst thing to have ever happened to celebrities! Not too mention being purposely as pretentious as possible about the BLUE Candidate!
Yeah social media is how trump got elected. He is just a celebrity, he has no qulification to be president, and eight years latter, he still doesn't have a single policy he can articulate.
You have to realize that most Americans ignore celebrities and the few that listen to them already were ultra-liberals. So the only results of celebrity endorsements and statements is hurting the celebrity's career.
More people definatly cared more for what they had to say before social media was a thing. It wasn’t a ton, but it WAS more than it is now. I can attest to that as I’m old enough to actually remember the time before the internet was past the dial-up faze where it sometimes took an hour to load most websites.
Well, we *aren't* a democracy. We're a democratic republic, but unfortunately around 1900 a number of changes to our system were implemented that ruined it. Our House of Representatives stopped growing with the population, and the senators stopped being appointed by the States. So now power has increasingly grown in a small number of offices while the power of the people's votes have slowly been diluted by intentional sabotage.
It's very hard after watching the likes of Ruffalo, Downey Jr, and Hamill etc etc spout on constantly with their TDS, to respect them and enjoy their films so much. It's sad to see Hemsworth is creeping into that territory. The likes of Gibson, Wahlberg and Pratt stay relatively silent yet are all attacked.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb arguing what's for dinner.....one of those wolves has the facade of a Hollywood celebrity. The other one is the politician dressed in sheep's clothing. THIS is quintessential America right now... But, there are Hollywood celebs who aren't democrats and don't shove their politics down everyone's throat. The difference is, if they stand up to what's going on, they're usually shut down or shadow banned in the industry. Meanwhile, those like Jack are free to act obnoxious about their politics because they don't fear retribution by the gov elites. This goes to show who really are the totalitarian in america
Andre, you are probably more qualified in talking about American politics - as you're a foreigner who doesn't have a dog in the fight - who can look objectively at the circus as a spectator rather than a participant. For many Americans, being submerged in political propaganda and gaslighting, it's difficult to see the forest through the trees.
Well said. It's pretty sad when someone from another country has a better understanding of the current state of things in your country, than most people living in your country do
The problem is Hollywood chose politics over its consumers & drove audiences away with those politics. Hollywood has no respect for the audience because of this. The longer it takes Hollywood to recognize that fact, more impossible its revival will become. Audiences weren’t just driven away. They didn’t just leave; they relocated & they’re comfortable. How can modern Hollywood survive when more & more consumers prefer its past on services like Tubi or the work of independent creators? Notice all the celebrities doing commercials now? Expect to see much much more of that
People forget that at one time there was a spectrum of political views in Hollywood. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat in his Hollywood days. To put things in perspective, review the votes cast for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. REPUBLICANS passed the bill. It was vehemently opposed by the Democratic Party.
I love that they keep saying “OUR democracy” instead of just “democracy”. Because they don’t really mean democracy. They mean *their brand* of democracy, which is Democrat power.

Just watch America. Biden will come back in a couple months spewing his hatred once again for Trump. Even if it is tempered, its for the sake of winning the election. Not for the sake of backtracking anything he has said up till now.
It's funny how everything he talks about can describe his term.

Hollywood has insisted they would be on the right side of history. Now it looks as though they will now be history.
Podcasters are the new Hollywood. The Star Wars Theory Paradox will ensure Hollywood's continued vestigial existence.
Hollywood covered up for Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and the likes for years. It was an "open" secret in Hollywood.
Being on the right side of history is simply to survive and have children. So if somebody threatens you with not being on the right side of history, what they are truly saying is that they want to murder you for having a different opinion. Point in case: the USSR killed everyone with an openly or perceived different opinion in their gulags.

You just have to look at the state of California to see what the current "DEMocracy" will continue to do. Keep giving away free money and such.
Saw one video that sums it up perfectly: CD Projekt RED went to California to do research for a Cyberpunk sequel, and found real life California is MORE dystopian than Night City.
California has 70 billion dollar deficit
There's a big reason why I fundamentally refuse to use the term democracy to describe government's. California's oligarchy is a democracy. The United states's government is a constitutional republic.
The current democracy..... Pfff.. Dont you mean "government"...?

Really not a good idea. There was another example of that in Canada recently. There was a byelection for a parliament seat in Toronto that the libs have held solidly for over 30 years.

There was a similar one with just the MCU crew telling electors to vote against Trump after the election can't make this up. It's identical looking but slightly different celebs and message.

In a sense, it was a warning. You had Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle talking down to us. The Avengers were trying to tell us who to vote for.
It was a sign that the MCU would go downhill.
That whole style of having celebrities repeat the same thing over and over between different celebrities before moving to the next word is disgustingly cringe.
@@darkworlddenizen Felt the exact same way with the Sinclair Media Broadcasting video.
What's worse is the ad that followed the 2016 results where a bunch of actors tried overthrowing the election by getting electors to vote against their state's wishes.
The worst thing that ever happened to "stars" was social media. It let us all see who they really were. And most of us are really repulsed.
You still got glimpses of them when they did interviews. Sometimes the mask DID slip, but studios seemed to have more leverage over their actors in the past, or seemed to.

There should be NO relationship between Hollywood and Washington. There has to be separation just as it is with religion. We don’t want the churches to parrot Washington and vice versa, why would we want actors to do the same?

How is someone being democratically elected a threat to democracy? Seems like anything that isn't voted the way they want is a threat to democracy in their eyes. They're so entitled.
THIS COMMENT ADDRESSES THE ACTUAL POINT.
A democratically elected leader can still abuse his power and damage or overturn a democracy. It's what Salvador Allende and Adolf Hitler did. Of course, it's a stupid threat in this case. Trump was already in power once and didn't do any of this.
Fun fact American is not a democracy it’s a constitutional representation republic
and they will continue to lie to themsleves about that.
Fun fact: it's neither, except on paper
Considering Hollywood has managed to make the most successful franchises in the world, and turn them into things said fans despise, and has not figured it out yet, yeah, Hollywood is not going to change that easily.
You are also talking about an industry KNOWN for never changing their behaviour, only its strategy. Also, the rewarding of toxicity and entitlement (if you have the right kind of political affiliation) also led to cultivation of toxic egos that simply CANNOT fathom that they could be potentially wrong about something. Now they are using common people as props to keep THEIR money flowing in and their lifestyles intact, no matter what that means for anyone else. Nobody gives a damn about "famous people" anymore - people have seen how much "famous people" hate them, and that feeling has led to people going elsewhere. The collapse of a genuine terrible place like Hollywood (and all the lives it has destroyed in its history) might be EXACTLY what world cinema needs - to break the cultural and economic stranglehold one film industry has on filmmaking worldwide - one industry that surpresses ACTUAL world cinema so that it can dominate and exploit everything it touches, with the sole objective of economically enrich itself.
So, who's gonna tell Democrats that both Nazism and Fascism were just socialism just less marxist?
Except that the economic core of Fascism was crony capitalism, corporatism in it's original version, and economic imperialism. Marxist economics don't have any of that.
Which half the leftists loved. The idea that Fascism is rightwing is a historical rewrite good read largest opinion back then Fascism was the progressive new kid on the block that was seen as the incrimentalist socialist Revolution.
If you look at the history, Musolino Benito ( leader of the Facism movement) was actively looking for close ties with Communisme.
People always "forget" that nazis were socialists and far left. Strangly, the left use the same stratégies nazis used before taking power...
Nazism is national socialism
Communism is international socialism
Nazis hates people of other cultures
Communist hates their own citizens.
That is pretty much the only difference
They truly mean their democracy and not our republic
America is a Monarchy now, as the Supreme Court ruled it is no longer a Republic.

They can afford $19.00 for one steak at the grocery store. They are worth millions, I'm not. I have to vote my pocketbook... but, also, I pity the young, they aren't going to have the chances my husband and I had back in the 1970s and 80s... they are going to live lesser lives because they can't build up their wealth. The true Middle Class is nearly destroyed in the USA. That is what has happened and Hollywood is partly to blame for it.
The illegal immigrant question is actually the biggest of our century. Millions are coming to take jobs away from our own young, and we've put our own children in permanent servitude by insisting they take out loans for college educations.

None of them want to admit that Trump is a political moderate. He embraced the gay community during his campaign. He supports State rights when it comes to abortion.
He is the only candidate that is against warfare.
Trump is a business Democrat from the 1980's. But a Democrat from the 1980's might as well be considered "far-right" to modern left-wing ideology.

The sad thing is that trump is a liar and traitor and didnt do a single thing he ran on, then launched the couff', fake pandemic wich is the globalist plan to destroy our economy, rob the rest of our money inject everyone with a bio-weapon and starve the rest.
But none of my countrymen have caught up. Everyone is just being fooled with the false 2 party scam again, and again, and again...
Everyone is 'all in' on Trump now and we will just be stuck in the globalist status quo yet again.
Trump may not have great character, but that doesn't mean he's incompetent. Yes, he'll cause some drama here and there and lie about the size of his crowds or whatever, but if he gets the job done then that's what matters. So I do think he can be a quality leader.
considering the other political candidates that wanted to debate that fateful June day got rejected by CNN, the higher ups only have themselves to blame for this mess. while Trump isn't what many would immediately look at as a competent leader, the fact is he did pretty well those 4 years he was in office even when the whole media cycle was bashing and demeaning his every action. that on top of his immediate actions during the assassination attempt and....well.... man's got alot on his side now. The Republicans cant change candidates as that would be political suicide, and the Democrats....the democrats were flailing after the June debate and its only gotten worse since. Personally, Kamala aint gonna win the vote, no matter how many times people say she will. I recall many things she's said and heard, and I don't blame people for saying they don't see her as presidential material.
basically, the powers that be have shot themselves in the foot. every tactic to take orange man down has only made him stronger and (incredibly) more likable to the masses. A large number of Blacks and Hispanics have jumped ship to the republican side, and some news personel have had meltdowns about this. but again, the Dems have only themselves to blame. Theyve unintentionally given Trump everything he needs to win.
American politics is a comedy, and im eating it up.
Whatever the outcome this Fall, it will surely go into the history books (I just hope no more shootings happen). So who will win: Orange man, Kamala, or an unknown challenger. Tune in next time for Dragonball Politico.

I’m an American, and my vote wasn’t even counted during the last election. Oddly enough, all the people I know that voted for Trump had their votes go missing during the election season.
For those wondering how we know that our votes weren’t counted, there’s a site you can log into that keeps track of your vote. I was also part of the “sharpie gate” and was forced to use a sharpie instead of a pen. Then the guy running the machine that counted votes looked at my ballet, typed something into the machine, and then put my ballet into the machine. Kind of weird, don’t you think?

As an American who definitely finds politics to be a frustrating, but also compelling spectator sport I have to say that the odds of Hollywood actually making substantive changes to their politics in the next 2-3 years is extremely low despite the increasingly obvious shift in the potential audience which is no longer willing to tolerate open political diatribes pretending to be entertainment.
The problem won't be the actors. in fact I suspect that many actors are becoming increasingly nervous about the situation as recent events have gotten more than a few entertainment elites cancelled not by Hollywood itself, but due to the fact that a repulsed audience will refuse to pay for anything they are involved in, which results in them unable to find work. In the past they felt they had to speak out because there are financial players in Hollywood who would blacklist anyone who came out against the hard-line leftist politics they were wedded to. And while those men and women are clearly starting to run out of money, they aren't broke yet, and they'll maintain considerable influence until we see major changes within the ivory halls and towers of the corporate offices.
So it will be mostly business as usual, but with a growing number of actors who try to "shut up and act" rather than make any kind of statement that might offend the larger audience. The 'modern audience' that Hollywood has been chasing for the last decade clearly doesn't exist and I think they've finally figured that out.
How does this guy not from America have this figured out but 40% of our public are blind?
Americans are some of the most unexposed people in the world. We all read your history and know everything about your culture but many of you are wrapped up in your bubble, oblivious to the World around you. As a result we know what a dictator looks like, and Trump is a clown compared to the evil politicians in my country.
You all don't know what a dictator looks like. I hope you never see one.
probably because he hasn't been brainwashed like the majority of americans. you'd be surprised how many of us on the outside think you yanks are nuts.
because they are shallow people who follow what they are told. If they were told the sky is green, they will make a cognitive narrative as to why it is green but why we truly see it as blue. Many people take comfort in having others think for them. Critical thinking is hard as it challenges us to look beyond what we want things to be.
As a 57 year old American, I think you nailed your analysis of American politics. Well done.

Everything feels "too good to be true" like, in a sense. Getting nervous about it all. Who's controlling this pendulum? We, the people? I'm not so naive...everything has always been controlled behind the scenes.
Don't get too conspiratorial here. Realistically speaking it was just mistakes made, voluntarily or forced. There are so many mistakes made to just escalated this point.
The house of cards is a nimble one, all it took was the assassination attempt to fail for it to collapse, make no mistake, Trump was meant to die, and him surviving threw a massive wrench into the whole operation.
While true: there’s only so much control you can have. Thomas Sowell points this out. The elites have intitated a wild-fire with the race-wars and DEI agenda that they CAN NOT control. That’s why they lost their mind so completely in 2016. They did what they always do and lost…so setup to cheat harder in 2020.
It’s all collapsing around them now as they sprinted to hard and can’t keep their balance.
They put the politics in the movies, they endorsed bad ideas and smeared good people.
They told us they don't like us, look I can forgive them as people but I can't be a fan. I can't be excited about movie stars. And if they keep making movies where I'm the bad guy and punchline, I'm gonna keep withholding my dollars.

And that's how Jack Black lost the Bowser V.A job.
I thought his song was okay but overall I thought that movie was kind of over hyped. Wing Commander wasn't bad but it was seen as bad because everything was so great back then. Mario wasn't good but it was seen as good because everything is just so horrible. It's like they didn't sodomize Mario so it's a good movie. That's not how anything works.
I don't know about Universal, but Nintendo aren't gonna be associated with someone who advocates murder.
@@Drak976 Sodomize Mario? He beat Donkey Kong, saved Peach and the others from Bowser, saved the mushroom kingdom from that giant bullet bill and kicked the crap outta Bowser along with Luigi! How is that being Sodomized?
@@Invidente7 "It's like they DIDN'T sodomize Mario so it's a good movie." He was saying people were willing to give the movie a pass because it DIDN'T destroy Mario or his legacy. His point is that things have gotten so bad that simply failing to attack fans or ruin things they love is now considered good, even though twenty years ago the Mario movie would have been met with a massive "meh".
@bekker3544 I'm glad I took my family to see the Mario movie despite my criticism of casting Seth Rogan as DK. However, if Jack Black remains casted for the sequel, then it will no longer be afforded that luxury. And I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Great video. As a Canadian, I am also an outsider, but can still see how bad it has gotten in the USA.
I know from the news you guys don’t have it so good either.
True Canada is doing poorly but Trump has awaken many people in other countries to look at their own political problems. Sadly and annoyingly our politics do effect other countries more so then we like admit. I would love if the outside world would leave us alone and keep (most of the time ill informed opinions) to themselves but Biden’s office just showed me that we affect other countries heavily. Good news is Canada may finally get rid of that idiot Trudeau.
@MrSpartan993 sad. But true. In fact, we have it much worse. More than half the country has no voice. We are ruled by Laurentian elites in the GTA./Quebec
You can ignore politics, but politics won't ignore you.
I dont want actors to suddenly become "Republican." But it would be nice if they would stop being partisan jerks. (Mark Hamill, etc.)
^This!
Hollywood actors - many of them, used to be veterans. Gene Roddenberry was an Army pilot and police officer. James Doohan lost a finger in WWII (they shot around it all those years). James Stewart rose to the rank of general in the Air Force. Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, etc. Jamie Farr (MASH) was actually a veteran of the Korean War. Leonard Nimoy also served in the US Army (and was stationed in Georgia!)
I don't say that to say "everyone has to be a veteran in Hollywood." John Wayne, for example, was not. What I mean is, there was more of a connection between Hollywood actors and producers and mainstream America before it became an asylum for Communists.
2016 told me all I ever needed to know about Hollyweird celebrities!
This is the best videos on the subject I've ever seen. You should be commended for illustrating such a clear and concise view. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words!
It’s quite crazy how they are acting like it’ll be the end of the world, yet he’s been president once already.
they bank on the average attention span
Maybe if Disney actor Mark Hamill says all the right things he can take on more Disney roles.
But Hollywood sucks at reboots....
Well done on getting off the fence Andre. Very powerful and brave vid
That was a great analysis of the political atmosphere. I always like to listen to your videos Andre
Their TRUE feelings exposed . . no apology can change that
I actually forgot about a few of the specific Hollywood douchebags who showed up in that "Save the Day" ad. Nathan Fillion... goddamn it. "Andrew" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Yeah, that figures. But mostly James Franco. Weird seeing him again. I love that he ended up being cancelled like 5 (proverbial) minutes later, proving that taking the pledge is absolutely useless in the long run. They'll throw any and all of their supposed friends & allies under the bus in an instant.
No, Hollywood doesn't need a political reboot. It needs to become completely defunct. And all of us need to lay off of the audio-visual fiction and stop getting so emotionally attached to professional pretend-players who don't actually give a shit about anything but their own personal bottom line.
The whole thing was orchestrated by Joss Whedon, living proof that male feminists are creeps.
You know, most people always suspected Hollywood had looney political ideas. Most of them however were smart enough to keep it to themselves. At some point they decided it was a good idea to enter the political arena and you see the results.
Once Gina Carano owns 51% of Disney after she wins the lawsuit. Things may change. 🤣
Social Media was the worst thing to have ever happened to celebrities! Not too mention being purposely as pretentious as possible about the BLUE Candidate!
Yeah social media is how trump got elected. He is just a celebrity, he has no qulification to be president, and eight years latter, he still doesn't have a single policy he can articulate.
You have to realize that most Americans ignore celebrities and the few that listen to them already were ultra-liberals. So the only results of celebrity endorsements and statements is hurting the celebrity's career.
More people definatly cared more for what they had to say before social media was a thing. It wasn’t a ton, but it WAS more than it is now.
I can attest to that as I’m old enough to actually remember the time before the internet was past the dial-up faze where it sometimes took an hour to load most websites.
Umm, what about the culpability of politicians?
To be honest the US political system, always looked to me, more like a plutocracy than a democracy, but maybe that is just me
Well, we *aren't* a democracy. We're a democratic republic, but unfortunately around 1900 a number of changes to our system were implemented that ruined it. Our House of Representatives stopped growing with the population, and the senators stopped being appointed by the States. So now power has increasingly grown in a small number of offices while the power of the people's votes have slowly been diluted by intentional sabotage.
hey! that rhymes.
There cannot be soul searching without a soul. There are no souls in Hollywood.
I've been waiting for the shift for a long time, but now the time is nigh, I feel like it is driven by the Regime rather than us.
"Ihave a bad feeling about this"
By the way dude: your english is better than 2/3rds of Americas health system personel.
Thank you very many!
It's very hard after watching the likes of Ruffalo, Downey Jr, and Hamill etc etc spout on constantly with their TDS, to respect them and enjoy their films so much. It's sad to see Hemsworth is creeping into that territory.
The likes of Gibson, Wahlberg and Pratt stay relatively silent yet are all attacked.
Colorado USA here. Always interested in how non-citizens see the USA. Pro-Pain has a lyric in a song, "some say death to those who don't agree with us, well I don't agree with us"
My government has betrayed everything our founders stood for.
Amazing essay, Andre! I can't really add anything more relevant, so I will just thank you. I hope this reaches many more people that need information.
Help share!
This might actually be the funniest thing Tenacious D has ever done. Break up.
Pendulums swing, they don't shift.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb arguing what's for dinner.....one of those wolves has the facade of a Hollywood celebrity. The other one is the politician dressed in sheep's clothing. THIS is quintessential America right now...
But, there are Hollywood celebs who aren't democrats and don't shove their politics down everyone's throat. The difference is, if they stand up to what's going on, they're usually shut down or shadow banned in the industry. Meanwhile, those like Jack are free to act obnoxious about their politics because they don't fear retribution by the gov elites. This goes to show who really are the totalitarian in america
Andre, you are probably more qualified in talking about American politics - as you're a foreigner who doesn't have a dog in the fight - who can look objectively at the circus as a spectator rather than a participant. For many Americans, being submerged in political propaganda and gaslighting, it's difficult to see the forest through the trees.
Jesus, I have not heard that Biden speech, makes the last 5 days even more hypocritical.
Sir! You did a better job summarizing the last 4-5 yrs better than anyone! Left or right!!! Great job!! Glad I subbed a long time ago.
Well said. It's pretty sad when someone from another country has a better understanding of the current state of things in your country, than most people living in your country do
A Hollywood reboot will coincide with their own financial reboot. It's all about the money. They don't actually believe anything.
The problem is Hollywood chose politics over its consumers & drove audiences away with those politics.
Hollywood has no respect for the audience because of this. The longer it takes Hollywood to recognize that fact, more impossible its revival will become.
Audiences weren’t just driven away. They didn’t just leave; they relocated & they’re comfortable.
How can modern Hollywood survive when more & more consumers prefer its past on services like Tubi or the work of independent creators?
Notice all the celebrities doing commercials now? Expect to see much much more of that
People forget that at one time there was a spectrum of political views in Hollywood. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat in his Hollywood days. To put things in perspective, review the votes cast for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. REPUBLICANS passed the bill. It was vehemently opposed by the Democratic Party.
While I think it was partly an edgy joke, but it also probably betrays underlying feeling of hatred they have for the right.
I love that they keep saying “OUR democracy” instead of just “democracy”. Because they don’t really mean democracy. They mean *their brand* of democracy, which is Democrat power.
The censorship is out of line.
Every comment I have made has been deleted.
YT trying REAL hard to defend their violent team in thus huh?
Yes. I'm seeing similar - they are trying to suppress more and more conservative voices. I'm having probably 1 in 5 posts removed. And I never even use cuss words.
We're not deleting anything, just sayin'

Hello guys
Yes I know, it's an algorithm they put in effecting everyone's videos and shadow attacking certain flagged accounts.
3 tries as to what political affiliations are more effected.
@@MidnightsEdge It's TH-cam doing it, not you, no worries.
