This has happened before in the United States so it is not causing that country to descend into darkness, it is literally part of their history as you pointed.

It's important, relevant, and much needed. We hear you.
Is anyone going to start asking "why does Trump have so much support", maybe if the leaders of the US started asking why does he have this support they could offer his supporters a viable option, since they are so afraid of what Trump will do if/when he wins.
Unfortunately, Republican supporters only needs empty words and hateful rhetoric to garner their support. They don't want actual help, not when they have the soothing balm of reassuring words.
There absolutely needs to be an investigation, though it is hard to imagine how we could ever get to the truth. Unless a whistle-blower would come forward. The level of political corruption in the US is so high now that this kind of situation is not surprising
Sorry, but Trump Jr's poor taste joke does not remotely compare to calling your political opponent and his supporters an "existential threat to Democracy." The endless vilification of all things Trump by Biden, all Democrats and US media is well documented.

They voted in an ex film star (Reagan)
You might need to edit your comment :)
you are "wrong" definitely this "won't be a boost" to Donald campaign .... on the contrary, it will help to clarify that Donald is the one to blame for this acts of violence
yes I remember him encouraging political assassinations back in 2016. this is the political climate that he ushered in
It’s a nice thought but i disagree
Lmao TDS has taken a turn for the worst since Saturday 🤣 😂
What do you mean--descent into darkness?...America has been there for years.
Watch the first five seconds of the video and your question will be answered: "the *latest* descent"
Our world is already in darkness. Is there a worse darkness than the current insanity?
Probably but it has lately been brought on by right wingers … he’s a republican. Go figure!
Lincoln, Kennedy, even King Charles.. this has happened multiple times for hundreds of years.. grow up
Guess we're gonna find out😂

Normal day in america.
Bernie Sanders has completely rolled over for establishment! The equivalent in Britain would be Jeremy Corbyn saying he totally supports Keir Starmar for prime minister!
Well he said that at the time as it was what the labour voters voted for!
This is what happens when American can only choose 2 candidates from the frail care, retirement home
Exactly 💯
Descend into darkness? They have been there for many years. Difference is that people now realise how decadent this nation really is.
did the secret service shout Donald Duck ??

Garsh! A hyuck.
I really don't care. Do U?"😂😂😂
Do you remember Melania Trump dons jacket saying: "I really don't care. Do U?"
The first lady made a surprise visit Thursday to a detention center in Texas to show she cares for the plight of immigrant children ... 2018

We are bc we are politically uneducated
Oh okay and u expect ppl to be able to read ur mind.. nothing in your comment suggest any kind of joke now does it? ... thats what the term 'lol' was invented for .. and emjois .. the laughing kind.. not the crying kind
@@jadebel7006 Bruh calm down, this isn’t an argument.
I don’t think this guarantees Trump will win.

Actually the United States began it's descent into darkness as a British colony at Jamestown in 1609. One could say, "The rest is history."
Brits need to understand that American politics is best described as a constant stream of Suella Bravermann and Nigel Farage and stances against it. It is not funny. It is not harmless fun. It is deliberate and cynical.
Thank you OWen - for this incredibly courageous and important words. You could no possibly be more right on all you have said!!! Shared on al lmy social media - ofcourse - as always! Stay safe and strong, Owen!
January 6th was harmles!
The rhetoric of Biden was very agressive!
This has happened before in the United States so it is not causing that country to descend into darkness, it is literally part of their history as you pointed.
Humanity has jumped the shark. I'm glad I'm closer to leaving this dumpster fire.
I have a horrible suspicion that the aftermath of the US election on 5 November 2024 is going to seem disturbingly similar to the aftermath of the election on 6 November 1860.
What, him being like Lincoln? How?

There is no political "left" in the US. We're all, as John Steinbeck said, just a bunch of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
There is a political left, it’s just not the democrats.
True.
As a European I think this statement is 100% correct. This is how the ruling classes in the US keep their power. The lower classes believe that they will all be millionaires someday and part of the ruling elite.
dang that hit home
Can I post a comment, Israel?

Police were alerted to the presence of a shooter. They all have radios and the entire force could have been notified in seconds. Did their radios stop working?

We descended a long time ago.

the scraggly guy in the fedora in the stands behind trump is vincent fusca, who qanon supporters believe is secretly jfk jr lol. this country is such a joke
The right-wing cultists are a joke. So are the "independents" who are blind to who Trump is.

So jan 6th didn't count? They been in dark days for a while
We’ve been in dark days since Ronald Regan.
They are in dark days since Obama.

I agree

ROFLMBAO! No, "lend me your ear".
Owen, you have a knack and dare I say, a gift for what you do. Thank you for this . As an American expat, it seems clear to me, from where I now reside... this is undoubtedly accurate.
Owen, I hope you would one day sit with Sami Hamdi and make a podcast of that! Two great and compassionate minds, it would be epic and inspiring.
Kudos to you, thank you for what you do. It's important, relevant, and much needed. We hear you.
I'm old enough to remember when American politics were boring AF.
Thank you Owen. You are a STAR! TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
The US already descended into darkness years ago when Trump was actually elected. What planet is everyone on?
lmfao because obama was great? how about bush?
And with this Trump secured his place at the white house
Nah....people will forget this in 5 months, just like they forget everything else.
@@squatch545 Sadly the election is in 4 months...
@@squatch545 This will not be forgotten in years the pictures will stick!
Thank you, Owen. Once again, your analysis is astute andyou are right on every point
Is anyone going to start asking "why does Trump have so much support", maybe if the leaders of the US started asking why does he have this support they could offer his supporters a viable option, since they are so afraid of what Trump will do if/when he wins.
Unfortunately, Republican supporters only needs empty words and hateful rhetoric to garner their support.
They don't want actual help, not when they have the soothing balm of reassuring words.
We're falling ever deeper in to the abyss.
Your country has no one but itself to blame.

There absolutely needs to be an investigation, though it is hard to imagine how we could ever get to the truth. Unless a whistle-blower would come forward. The level of political corruption in the US is so high now that this kind of situation is not surprising
Have all of the JFK files been released. No. We won’t ever get the truth
Something is just not right about this.
yes, the country's culture
Sorry, but Trump Jr's poor taste joke does not remotely compare to calling your political opponent and his supporters an "existential threat to Democracy." The endless vilification of all things Trump by Biden, all Democrats and US media is well documented.
I fear how this will change Truump
This descent began in 2000.
Why in 2000?
@@Keepthepeacesharethelove Because that was the year that Bush II stole the election.
In 1492 is more like it.

Biden/Trump both clowns.
Not allowed to talk of the violent nature of America
Not allowed to talk about the violent nature of the leftists!
Thank you Owen. Hard to hear, but you’re spot on. Subscribed!
Owen You've been encouraging this type of thing for years.
Actually 150m away. That 200-250 yard estimate was too large.
People at the rally were going after the press after this happened, saying "this is your fault" and "you're next". I think this is far from over.
CNN said Trump fell after hearing loud noises
'People'? Are you referring to MOSTLY males? How many women were strutting and being aggressive? Say the quiet part out loud.
@@71suns I saw both men and women flipping off the cameras, so I'm sure both men and women were going after the press.
Accurate analysis of where we are. Very dangerous path ahead
Owen is so triggered by Trump's popularity and you can tell that he's disappointed with the result of the attempt on Trump.
Owen Jones condemned the attack in the video, so obviously you did not listen to it properly enough.
😂 idiocracy is an understatement
