@alter-ego-uno On some level, I think that's true. But if you talk to most Republicans who support him, a lot of them see him as an "outsider" who won't be caught up in all the political theater and who will be able to shake up the status quo for the better. Of course, he actually represents all the worst things about our horrible status quo and it'll be a miracle if he doesn't just make everything worse...
@@Applemangh I agree, alas. The ultimate swamp-creature marketed himself as a drainer. My point was the mechanisms that have made the anti-intellectual mob so eager to swallow snake oil.
You should thank the Democrats, they're the ones that enabled him and failed to do anything substantive to put guardrails in to stop him from abusing his power.
Old Croatian proverb…”do not let the rich tell you who the poor are.” Trump has been caught threatening a politician who wouldn’t put forward fake votes for him, I do not believe that half of America truly voted for him. Now, you have to understand that a good number of Republican voters really do not like Donald Trump, but they find Democrats to be very hypocritical and so they voted for Donald Trump. I don’t agree with them, I do not believe that anyone should have voted for Donald Trump because of how disgustingly dishonest, racist, selfish, hateful and corrupt he is. However, I see that they are being lied to, and it isn’t fair to them, so I feel sorry for them. I urge you to think the same way, to forgive people who are so simple minded that they vote for Republicans. Republicans are exceedingly hateful people with Stone hearts who will not legalize cannabis, a medicine, all because they take money from companies like AbbVie so that they can wickedly sell medicines for $80,000 a year (Humira) when a person can grow their medicine at home for free and have more relief from cannabis than they would from Humira. Behavior like this caused the public to praise Luigi Mangione when he ended that corrupt CEO’s life. Behavior like this will cause our people to feel unrest, and anger. We can’t go on like this, and the Republicans can’t keep doing this to us. The people who call themselves democrat, they are not all that wise, but they are starting to understand this, and they are more merciful than Republicans, so we can be thankful for that. What we need to do is spread the truth to people without judging them and without getting angry at them in anyway. We can’t talk to them if we can’t love them, and they will remain in the dark if we don’t help them.
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.

I tried to tell (and was heard) Bernie Sanders to tax the wealthy when the economic instability rose and he was among the only ones people listened to without much bias until DJTurd started calling him a communist (he's a social-populist). Distinctions dont matter to people that are susceptible to repetition and lies (never learned to trust the right people, discern lies from truth or the laws of logic... religion leads them because they are completely and utterly confused and always have been. Good people learn morality from GOOD people. It is Not taught in any of the scriptures I've scrutinized and walked away from when I was a child... if anything these texts are so far from their initial intentions that you'd be a complete magamoron to not grasp that these texts are nefarious.. you were just lucky enough to grow up around good people despite their religious affiliation). Education mattered. Now, you need to push to tax the ultra wealthy to pay their fair share: 35% (not joking) for the top 1% and 25% for the top 10%. Top 20% pays 20% etc. Education tests should be given so that if someone is inadequate socially/mentally: they have to pay 15%. The rest (bottom) pays 10%. Then we all vote for where the money goes. I'm Canadian, but this is a discussion about the world... not your country anymore. This is US. Not the USA. We're all in this and we've defended against the attacks of Russia united for decades, now (Norad). We also had joint military forces and technologies. Somehow, you fools elected a buffoon because you have no grip on reality (dont even have a knee-jerk reaction to say that it's not the case for you specifically... You're part of this). I've been working at addressing all these issues on my own for the last two decades and that's almost all of my life while you rejoice the pleasures of life. Nobody asked me to do this, but YOU don't get to deflect the fault. Every Time you avoided talking politics and religion with your peers, YOU allowed the problem to fester. Watch "the line" on youtube and educate yourselves. Quote me everywhere and spread the word: You need to tax the ultrawealthy up to 1/3rd-40% of their wealth so that people that actually enjoy screwing over other people (because it's inevitable with that much wealth in a lifetime) deserve to be sanctioned. Not Taxed. Sanctioned. They are abusers. None of these fools have built foundations and funnel funds to help others which would turn into profits if they weren't complete buffoons (or far worse, in this case). DJTurd is a diagnosed npd/narcopath and to be considered as the public punchingbag and perfect defense for the wealthy families that understood how to abuse at a larger scale. You are all puppets in a very lame history lesson that happened less than a century ago. Wake Up. You could even send a message if you did and make sure history doesn't repeat itself. I will not tell you what needs to be done, but you've taken the decision to let Evil take over. A Two tiered society (only a few years of this) is well on its way. Call it oligarchy if you want, but tyranny is also a term. Except p u t i n is far less capable than a Musk at abusing everyone. Guy lies about being good at videogames (meant to be fun / let go)... if he lies about that, he's lying about everything. His new girlfriend Donaldina trum p is a lifetime liar (npd diagnosis)... what are you fools waiting for?
To many people don't seem to understand the potential for unnecessary pain this new administration will bring... Live and work to spite fascism and oligarchy y'all.
As a non American on the other side of the pond, I stand in solidarity with my fellow American brothers and sisters who didn’t vote for any of this. This impacts us all regardless where we live. 😢
I’m American and progressive who can’t stand Trump. He’s a horrible, insane bully. Thank you so much for your solidarity from the UK. It bolsters we Americans. I’m sorry Trump has been forced on the world again. Please forgive America
I voted against forever, wars, open borders that allowed 10-20,000,000 illegal aliens to invade my country, I voted against biological males invading women’s sports, women’s locker rooms and women’s showers, I voted against mutilation of children, I voted against raging crime in our major cities and against crippling inflation. How does any of what I voted for negatively impact you?
Thank you, especially since a lot of us many generations ago, did not have a choice to come here. Wishing all of my people under the global oppressive thumb of totalitarian dictatorships protection and empowerment ✊🏽
Mr Reich . I am 65 years old . I delivered newspapers from the age of 10 until the age of 19 . Everyday at 4:30 am and before delivering the papers on my route I read the paper . Regrettably I have watched the medias wholesale retreat from holding our government accountable . At 19 I enlisted in the United States Army and served The United States for four years . At times my unit did not have enough fuel or ammunition to train properly . My service coincided with a period when America was going through a time of deep reflection . Over the following decades it was abundantly clear that the opportunity to embrace a more perfect union had been lost . Our numbers are great . With the depth of our generations knowledge we have one last chance to secure America as country where all citizens are treated equally . I apologize but I am unable to finish this message , it is time to take my granddaughter to school. In closing please do not dismiss the role our generation plays in our families , communities and our government . Please include my generation in your message’s . There are a lot of us . We have the knowledge of having lived through a difficult time in Americas recent history . Thank you for your dedication.
It's too bad that this message will never penetrate the maga echo chamber. And if it does they will just call you a socialist soy boy. This is a very sad timeline we have found ourselves in.
And the Democrats are any better? Biden could have done a bunch to put us in a better position, or even stood back and let a stronger candidate be the nominee rather than trying to win an election for a term which he is unlikely to have been able to compelte.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade and all these leftist groups could try a bit harder getting their communities in order and/or being louder about it. Seems us and maga has a tendency to wait for those in power to fix things for us.
@SmallSpoonBrigade I'm not a Democrat either. But there is one side that clearly has no relationship with the truth. Did anyone see Elon heil Hitler today?
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Our country was not, and is not supposed to be a two party sham of a democracy. Despising the incompetent democratic party is not mutually exclusive to denouncing the insanity of the republican party.

I hope that you are right. As a German, I have my doubts about America. I have always admired this country and its people. But at the moment, I feel despair and disgust.
It’s so easy to doubt Americans but hell brother, after going to the blm protests, I was proud of my fellow Americans. This country is going backwards, becoming the thing that founding fathers strived to defeat. But a lot of progression came from America, not from billionaires, not from presidents, but from the working people who stood up when things got tough. I have faith in what we can accomplish. Before this, our politics were just a drama, a tragedy, that many watched for entertainment. But when the oppression is felt on a personal and community level, we fight for what we believe
If things really do get out of control in America I’m hoping NATO or allied countries in general to try to help us. I hope it doesn’t ever get that bad, I hope that things can get better through peaceful means, but I also can’t deny that it’s impossible to win fair and square when your opponent is cheating
As an American I feel the same. I can’t watch the news, I can’t hear IT’S voice. I hope this video is right, but considering people voted for frump again I have my doubts.
I come from Greece and just discovered your channel here on UA-cam. Thank you for your analysis, professor. I am not even American and I am feeling horrible with the results of your elections...Why don't people learn from history? When mistakes of the past are repeated, the world is not on the right path... God helps us all. I want to be optimistic, and I hope we will all be able to survive these 4 years...it s horrific 😮💨😮💨
Sorry but the oligarchy has been exposed for years now. The populace is uneducated and uncaring beyond their emotional domination. I despair for the country and my and my child's future.
As an African American/Nigerian man, I fear for the next 4 years of this country not just for myself but for my family and everyone in this country and even our allies around the world, God help us
Huh? Every African I have ever met came to this country praising the white man and hating black Americans. Everyone that I know is a Republican who is from Africa. They know nothing about civil rights movement and discrimination here. You need to blame your own people.
It will lead to runaway climate changing emissions and the oil companies will be the last standing, immune from prosecution and rolling in cash. You had your chances to stop this America, instead you embraced it because you are COWARDS, BULLIES and FOOLS.
@@jasonjames4254 Wishful thinking that assumes enough people actually care to do the right thing instead of the easy thing. That's probably also what the russians, Chinese, and Belarusian, and any number of people living under other autocratic rulers thought. Yet there was no revolution. The autocrats and oligarchs continue to rule. This is likely what will happen to America.
Maybe you will see how much Americans have been controlled, manipulated, infiltrated, indoctrinated, programmed, etc etc etc. Even the sheer amount of effort to make citizens barely get quality information, education, news...while also pushing low wage jobs, big debt, poor healthcare, poisoned food to make them distracted and sick. And without ways to come together and organize on a large scale...even no proper public transportation across the states...all lead to being less able to make government held accountable. Oligarchs and Israel and Russia have been infiltrating and manipulating markets, housing industries, political campaigns and options for over 50 years.
Sorry, but as a Canadian stuck above the meth-lab that is the USA you were always an idiocracy... But at least you could put on airs for company until recently... Not now...
On average, the happiest citizens are in Finland. I think everyone should study how they got big money more out of their politics. A big part of it is better education and more than two parties with a chance of winning.
I think the first lesson is not to focus on "big money". Focus on a liveable country, a strong social net and justice. I think America's big mistake is thinking that you need to make big money first and all the good things will come after. Nope, because to hit big money in this world, you need to be corrupt and if you're corrupt, nothing good will come from that.
We can also look to Sen. Sanders, People for the American Way, Social Security Works!, The Move to Amend and other groups who've been working on this for some time. Progress is being made. We need more participation by We the People. Such civic action does not have to take lots of time, or even ay $. The documentaries Ethos and Bernie Sanders: A Presidential Comparison, are excellent resources for understanding and overcoming this un-American intrusion. PS some years back, the far right removed Civics classes from our public schools, This left young folks without knowing the meaning and value of Civics: Out government and our place in it. They've no idea our Founders gave Power to the People. It is ours to pick up and use. Voter apathy is a tremendous factor, along with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
I doubt that I will see America return to anything resembling the country I have lived in for 76 years. It will take decades to fix the horrendous mess we have made of it, if ever.
I think we'll just have to build something new and alternative as the old system collapses under the weight of its own cancer and self-contradictions. Alternative systems could involve decentralization, grassroots communities, open source innovations, mutual aid networks, transparency and community-based developments that emerge from community rather than corporate needs. If each of us can find some way to contribute to a cause we care for, and share with others, that might help. Some people could focus on local farming. Others on open source protections. Others on community pooled money/resource funds. Others on art. etc.
The most powerful kind of hope is not belief that your preferred outcome will happen, It's doing the right thing despite the fact that you know it won't.
@@MurnaKota Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!! I don't care how many billions Trump has, Trump will never be king!!! Jesus will have the last word on Trump!!! Because no lie can live forever!!!!!
Yep. Even in the 90s you could see it. Yes to bank deregulation and media consolidation. No to universal healthcare. All positions favored by the wealthy.
I would argue so too, although the ”day to day” symbiosis and the absolute symbiosis (since to many political elements have still prevented their absolute influence) might not have been enough to define it as an actual oligarchy. Now it definitely is. And what we definitely now can say is that the US is also of today a plutocracy. To some extent a kleptocracy, and that will likely increase. Will it be a kakistocracy too? Really… let’s hope, because the sooner it will collapse on its own hubris and ignorance.
I’m with you. Giving the rich and corporations more tax cuts makes me so angry. I hope we can at least get a change from a republican majority to democratic to slow the damage at the midterms.
I grew up in Poland behind the iron curtain, I remember when the wall fell, I was there for change into socialist society and into capitalism. I came to the conclusion that the system doesn't affect one's life as much as good community does. It's what's in our hearts, our kindness that changes everything and survival at times depends on empathy, love and courage of our neighbors not politicians. That being said, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to love and express oneself and freedom to be healthy and have a home is crucial to mental and emotional health.
Yes, and he threatens freedom to have a home. I will be living in a hovel if ss is taken away by the gruesome twosome of Viveck and the disgust of Musk. 😠
Except, Robert, Americans HAVE BEEN abiding the aristocracy for decades now. Voters are easily manipulated, deeply ignorant, and wooed by oversimplifications.
That's called being American! In other news, Elon Musk's genitals have been horrifically burned when he tried to copulate with a toaster on the bagel setting. He's okay though.
Oligarchy is ugly. All these ppl are disgusting. What happened to the laws of our Constitution and enforcing them. Amendment 14, section 3 has been ignored, yet it sits in plain sight. Is the Supreme Court not guilty of brushing aside our Constitition instead of protecting it and enforcing it? Should they not be impeached for doing so? Can Americans unite and file a class action lawsuit against the Supreme Court for NOT honoring their Oaths of office? Can we start a page where people can sign a Lawsuit against our Suoreme Court? We need accountability and we need OUR voices heard.
It's the fact that it was all preventable that has been getting to me today. If the people in power had any integrity or spine, he would have been behind bars and disqualified for presidency by the 14th amendment within 24 hours of the Jan 6 insurrection.
The “Supreme” court has been bought & paid for. Only 3 justices aren’t part of the Federalist society. Conservatives have been playing the long game since Nixon. Clearly it’s worked. They’re in & decency is out.
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.” ― Howard Zinn
Oligarchy will always benefit from fascism (division) over socialism (cooperation). Socialist’s goals are to dethrone the ruling class, so oligarchy will always promote right wing ideology - divide and conquer.
@@Desert_Rogue_Tanker Awww, did your feelings get hurt? Cry more MAGA twit. Is your red hat too tight again? Biden did lots to help this country. Your orange guy has done nothing to help anyone but himself and his billionaire buddies. Now go sit in the corner and let the adults talk here.
I don't hold out hope at this point. I was a child in the seventies, and still remember when on person could support a family and be buying the home they lived in. It's been in decline since the 80s. What was that headline I read the other day? Something to the effect of "I always knew I'd have to watch wealthy men burn the world, I had no idea they'd be such losers". I think it's done. I think it's overdue.
In my 71 years, I have witnessed many bad things in America. We overcame all of them. I worked many years as a DA civilian under many presidents, both republican and democrat. What comes around goes around has been said many times. This to shall pass. Therefore, I agree with you, Bob. Thanks for sharing your encouraging words. Take care.
While I applaud your call for optimism, I remain in despair. I was hopeful of your points when Trump was voted out of office in '20; my hope increased as his serial felony indictments accrued; optimism grew during Kamala's campaign stops -- and then the electorate somehow thought that returning Trump to office was a good thing. The majority of the people didn't see the boil for what it was; I shudder to think what it will take for them to finally wake up and act in favor of democracy.
Jesus said: In this world, you will have trouble; but, take heart, for I have overcome the world!!! Jesus will have the last word on Trump!!! Because Jesus is sick and tired of God's Children and God's Earth being used, abused and exploited in the name of profits, power and greed!!!!!
The one thing that makes me feel so negative is the total failure of leadership in the Democratic party, starting with Biden. His failure to understand the changes happening in politics, of the multi decade effort by the right to get where we are today and to do virtually nothing to stem the tide. If Biden had picked, oh say Kamala Harris, for AG do you think Trump would still be a free man, much less POTUS again? When the gifted almost unlimited power by SCOTUS what did he do with it. He did nothing but play politics as usual, like the GOP was just a normal party with differing views instead of what it has become, a non violent (mostly) overthrow of our democratic republic. I have serious doubts we will have another Presidential election in 4 years as a result of the blindness of Democrats from top to bottom.
Only action by the people organizing will see change the Billionaires plans started about half a century ago if not earlier in response to the New Deal and the death of FDR it didn't come out of nowhere and the takeover of education and media were key parts of this long term ploy Meta and other social media are complicit the right has weaponized identity politics and until we see that for what it is and get up and organize a counter response nothing will change.
I am not disappointed in my American brothers, I’m disappointed in those who took advantage of them with false lies and hope. I hope these four years go by quick.
Watching a few days after original post... 1) Thank you for sharing this message 2) I am choosing to believe, to have hope. I don't know who said it first, but 'sometimes things have to get worse, before they get better' ... we seem to be approaching the worse part. And, while 'hope' is not a plan, it can help. 🕊✌️🦋
Sometimes hope is all we have. That's what makes us human. We WILL get through this. We can start with being kind to each other and protecting anyone who's part of a marginalized group.
Hear, hear. I think they have been investigating behind the scenes. They must know of the numbers that are off. The blue camp can doubtfully be the one to raise the flag, so watch for an international organization to step in. It has been coming to light that contests in other countries have been riddled by those who also had a hand in ours, and some are finally starting to see the emperor's lack of clothes. A slow reveal could help ensure our safety. We can do things like contact our representatives in the meantime and not succumb to fear. Hope :)
well, this white woke male Retired Married, with no kids, a Boomer of 65 lives in a solid Blue state, Own our HM and cars, and has 2.5M in the Bank...we'll be fine. The election was about MORALS, Decency, Self-Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Sympathy, and Most importantly HONESTY! Everything my WW2 Generation parents Taught Us 8 children, and Everything TRUMP IS NOT! I will never forgive, nor Forget those that Voted for that 34 COUNT FELON, RAPIST, RACIST, VILE TRAITOR LIAR INSURRECTIONIST LOWLIFE LOUDMOUTH CLASSLESS P-O-S.....I knew he was Garbage 40+ years ago, ..I can't wait til he's LOOKING UP at DIRT - it will be a WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION!
I voted for Harris and I am very disappointed, like everyone else. I, like you, have so much love and hope for America. I am not chucking in the towel. I am growing my own food and sharing work with my neighbors. I am just one person of many, in an entire town that still has hope. Let's work together to save America.
Message from the UK: if you lose hope, then you weren't really the shining light on a hill you said you are. Get off your ass and do something about it - otherwise you'll lose respect quickly from us on this side of the pond.
It finally clicked for me this morning right before I saw this . We have to go through this together again to expose this ugliness that’s going on in our Country 😊
I could only make it halfway through this. Americans do abide aristocracy. Now being rich excuses all sins. Americans will suffer for being stupid, and feel obligated to be stupid - and feel grateful.
Thank you for bringing some clarity to this bleak situation. I am overwhelmed by the number of everyday working people who support him. How can we endure this? It fills me with despair to think about what is coming. I’m not sure how I will cope. 😢😢
I am in limbo right now. My mom, who I took care of, is in Assisted Living under hospice, and we are selling her house. Meanwhile I am staying with my best friend and her husband while I find a place to live. I also was injured at their house and ended up needing a rotator cuff tear surgery so I am here resting. The point is, they are big trump supporters. It is just as painful as my shoulder being here. I do not dare discuss politics with them as I will be told to not argue if I even bring up facts..so i distance myself as best I can. Keep looking for a place while I heal.
Thank YOU Mr. Reich. Cautiously putting one foot in front of the other, strongly standing against ignorance and corruption and actively spreading kindness and help wherever and whenever possible. 💐
It won’t, but that doesn’t mean that the change will be bad. In the short term? Yeah, it’s probably going to get much worse, but the U.S. is no stranger to massive cultural clashes. The American Civil War irrevocably changed the country, and in the short term it was devastating. It tour gaping wounds in our country that took generations to properly heal, and the scars from it still remain. That experience lead to us be a better country though. Same thing with the Civil Rights Movement. That had violence, lynching, set back after set back, but it was worth it in the end. We cannot turn things back to the way they were, nor should we. Sure, they were better than things are now, but it also directly lead to our present issues. We will steer America toward a new direction, one that’s a little better for everyone. First, we need to get through this rough patch first. 🇺🇸
Hundreds if not thousands of new politicians will try to act like Trump because they see how it helped him elected twice. Trump created a tradition that many will try to imitate and some might even try to be more crazier than him. All this happened because of fake liberals and democrats who failed the people miserably. The left will keep getting defeated and humiliated until they elect true leaders
Complex world-wide-socio-political-economic factors that have led to many Governments around the world being removed from office in the last year, as well as a painful short term memory, a lack of consideration for wider factors or consequences of their voting, and a general lack of education, which has become even worse (and will continue to worsen) in the age of misinformation. In the words of Bob Dylan: “People are crazy. Sometimes are strange.”
MAGA and their use of Media and Social Media has helped undermine those memories through the employment of psychological biases intended to overprint and replace those memories by getting Americans to call up and replace them are part of the exploitation of identity politics. Research shows that when people internalize a group identity it starts initially by one or more aspects they resonate with before they eventually adopt the full range of views associated with those identity labels. When faced with cognitive dissonance their memories under trump were more easily replaced than to challenge the mix match between identity/community and reality. We can not assume people will wake up we need to recognize how we are being manipulated by maligned actors. Only action will bring change we need to create communities which can rehabilitate those indoctrinated else the cognitive dissonance to come will likely lead to even worse outcomes under billionaire control of social media.
As a Canadian I can say your troubles are the worlds troubles now. The difference between the past and now is the sheer amount of social engineering on a global scale that has convinced people that billionaires and corporations have the right to profit at any cost. We have a global corporate/investor aristocracy with more money that any single government has or will have in any near future.
Thank you, Mr. Reich. I own one of your books and it was a really good read. I'm incredibly scared for the future, but as I learn in real time, fear is the goal. Fear to keep us from demanding true justice. Things will get bad, really bad. But we can't give up. Thank you for everything, Mr. Reich. Godspeed.
I like the way he thinks & expresses himself. We must not give up hope. We must hold true to the beauty of the Constitution & not allow it to be destroyed. Democracy & Freedom are what have been the reason for the United States of America. He can't make America great again by tearing her apart. America has been great & remains so due to the sweat & tears of the middle class. We must not give up hope! Pray 🤲 🙏 for the strength to endure.
Thank you Mr Reich for your inspiring words of wisdom and hope. As a local county employee in California, during emergencies have worked with law enforcement, state and federal officials, and so many other heroes stepping up to help other Americans. For failed leaders who in an emergency, refuse to help or provide negative support, please shut up and get out of the way. Thank You to all people in any country that comes to aid any country in despair. Proud to be an American public servant.
Ever wonder what's up with duds last name? Ever check up on his lineage? Baaaaaaahaaaahaaa. When God referred to sheep in the Bible, it wasn't a compliment. Maybe ask God for help rather than worship retards.
You speak truth to power and for that I salute you. Thank you for using your life, time and knowledge to fight for what is right. You are a beacon in a very dark time.
@jerrylanglois7892 iam saying trump needs jail he's a Felon traitor misogynist rascist hitler grifter and I don't want him as President I didn't and never will vote Republicans they are disgrace
We had the opportunity to address these issues & save democracy in November. Apparently the price of gas & eggs was more important. It will be interesting to see how Trump supporters react when he doesn’t deliver on his promises.
"the price of gas and eggs" is a dogwhistle at this point. He ran on an even more extreme version of the same rhetoric he ran in 2016-we need to face this dilemma: half the nation has decided it's more or less fine to be an openly racist rapist and convicted felon and also be president. If they are ignorant, it is a negligent and criminal degree of ignorance. We need to take aggressive action against this threat yesterday!
About one third of the population voted for Harris; slightly more than one third voted for Trump; and one third stayed home and created this mess for which now we all will suffer for the next two years (hopefully) but possibly four years (God forbid).
His cultists won’t care at all. They will just deny the fact and/or blame someone else. Truth has become obsolete, utterly irrelevant. America is so, so broken at the moment… ‘May god help us all’, where us is the rest of the world. Not that we’re doing any better in Europe, twenty years behind as usual. What I see happening is that all my high-middle class friends and I are ditching as much American soft-power as we can. All the tech ring-kissers at his inauguration their services first. Finding alternatives for everything
We are 76 and 80 and we never thought we would see this happen in the United States, but we are determined to survive it and be stronger and prouder because we did. He will not conquer us. It will take time but we plan to once again when he is gone to be able to put our flag back up and fly it proudly.
I may be a Singaporean, who always dream about visiting New York, USA, for sightseeing or staying there forever. But, after seeing the corruption of that country, it betrayed my dream. It's all thanks to evil republicans, wealthy, bullies, discriminators, traitors, idiots, ALL OF THEM!!! To bring back peace to the country, as you said, we must have faith. And when we're done, I will come to USA. Thanks for spreading the word, Robert. 🥲☺️
Democrats destroyed the city. Crime has sky rocketed. The mayor is so disenfranchised with the democratic parties destruction of the city he is now becoming Republican. Educate yourself. But you're a bot ..
Social Media is a weapon of the Oligarchs until the tyranny of their black box algorithm manipulation and global control is stopped they will keep winning by further driving and fueling right wing ideology. The hidden nature of their algorithms lets them manipulate what people see and hear and they can pass any blame for the atrocities that follow onto the inscrutable algorithm. We need alternatives not under billionaire control and to get people to adopt/change or at least recognize that social media is a poison.
Social media has been a HUGE factor in trump being re-elected. I watched a short documentary about the sheer volume of Tweets that Musk put out....all lies and propaganda of course. The actual amount was staggering!
I have been saying we are an oligarchy since the mid 2000s. I have tried to get people to understand the entire time, but they want to remain ignorant. As George Carlin said, the American dream is only a dream because you have to be asleep in order to believe in it. I am just doing what I have to do to go as off grid as possible and become a mountain man. I am done trying to educate on how corrupt everything is. I'm just trying to survive now. People don't want anything good. They just want everyone else to be as miserable as they are. I'm done. I'll still keep my old American traits that I grew up on in the 80s and 90s, but this new corporate America is not worth respecting.
It's over. They've consolidated power and they're not going to give it up. All that remains is for young Americans to wait for the let them eat cake moment. That's at least thirty years down the line. Imagine what America will look like then.
You can either give in to fear or fight for your future!!! Trump and MAGA want us to give up and die!!! Jesus will have the last word on Trump!!! Because no lie can live forever!!!
30 years is mighty generous. Younger generations are fed up already and are raring to go. Gov makes one wrong move, by taking an in your face necessity to live away, and the fights will break out. More like within 5 years or less
Thank you for your words of hope and wisdom Robert. They will self-destruct. We have to all stand together. It is more of us than them. It is our greatest strength against them
Thank you. I needed to hear this. I am hopeful that in a couple of decades, we'll all look back and somehow realize that, while this period was difficult, it was a much-needed awakening and course-correction.
Thanks Robert. I hope everyone takes your message to heart. Despite everything, we the people have to be prepared to do whatever it takes. I think about civil rights leaders and women fighting for the vote and equal rights. They did not give up and neither can we !!!!
Amazing speech! Very inspiring for the middle and lower class, thanks for giving us a voice in these difficult times. We need to keep each other inspired
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever. I'm 51 living in Melbourne Australia, bought my new house in August and hoping to do more if things keep going smoothly for me..

Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience
If you're not doing it already, you could start being REALLY pro-active regarding the environment, climate change, wildlife etc. Encourage your friends, family and neighbours to do the same. I'm a Brit, and I'm worried sick about Trump 2.0 😢 He has already signed an order that the US is withdrawing from The Paris Climate Accord!! He's going to stop ALL funding for environmental projects, putting 1000s out of work at the same time. This is an absolute disaster for the world, and for the future of everyone's children and grandchildren! He's going to roll back ALL of the climate projects, and drill for more and more coal and oil. This is just an idea.... It's something positive that you can be doing, to make small changes over the next 4 years, and fighting back, on what Trump is doing.
Let's not waste another 4 years and figure out who the Democratic nominee for President is a few months before the election. We need energetic leaders who understand the problems and have solutions to actually solve them, not make even more money for the oligarchs. THE TIME TO START IS NOW!!!
Secretary Reich! You, as usual, are the voice in the darkness that is a beacon for so many of us Thank you for your continued service & dedication to our country!!
Thank you, Robert Reich for your work and these words of encouragement. They inspired the following pledge to myself: I choose to embrace my fear to transform it into courage. I have icons to learn from and lean on: John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Larry Itliong, Grace Lee Boggs, Thomas Paine, and Audre Lorde. It is a strength to show up with compassion, service and kindness to all people. I acknowledge that I am an imperfect human and will extend grace to myself and others when we falter. Things will be hard yet I can stand against tyranny and oppression because my heart is full of love for my country and all the people on its land.
I hope this is going to be a wake-up call to the Democrats to get stronger and focus on people's real issues. To the American people: stop voting as if you all held a senior executive position at Tesla, and just accept that you're average people just like me, with average people's issues.
As far as I'm concerned anybody who thinks like that is not a person, they're a meat puppet connected to a social media control net. I'm not coming to save them.
It's still amazing to me that anybody thought Donald Trump was the solution to corruption in politics.
I think it's more that his supporters expect him to exact revenge on those whom they hate and fear.
Donald Trump is the corrupter!!!
@alter-ego-uno On some level, I think that's true. But if you talk to most Republicans who support him, a lot of them see him as an "outsider" who won't be caught up in all the political theater and who will be able to shake up the status quo for the better. Of course, he actually represents all the worst things about our horrible status quo and it'll be a miracle if he doesn't just make everything worse...

I don't know what is going to happen with this idiot as the president, I am very scared with what all difficulties he will bring to us😥😢😭
I’m with you. We’ll endure this.
*half that voted
Old Croatian proverb…”do not let the rich tell you who the poor are.”
Trump has been caught threatening a politician who wouldn’t put forward fake votes for him, I do not believe that half of America truly voted for him. Now, you have to understand that a good number of Republican voters really do not like Donald Trump, but they find Democrats to be very hypocritical and so they voted for Donald Trump. I don’t agree with them, I do not believe that anyone should have voted for Donald Trump because of how disgustingly dishonest, racist, selfish, hateful and corrupt he is. However, I see that they are being lied to, and it isn’t fair to them, so I feel sorry for them. I urge you to think the same way, to forgive people who are so simple minded that they vote for Republicans. Republicans are exceedingly hateful people with Stone hearts who will not legalize cannabis, a medicine, all because they take money from companies like AbbVie so that they can wickedly sell medicines for $80,000 a year (Humira) when a person can grow their medicine at home for free and have more relief from cannabis than they would from Humira.
Behavior like this caused the public to praise Luigi Mangione when he ended that corrupt CEO’s life. Behavior like this will cause our people to feel unrest, and anger. We can’t go on like this, and the Republicans can’t keep doing this to us. The people who call themselves democrat, they are not all that wise, but they are starting to understand this, and they are more merciful than Republicans, so we can be thankful for that.
What we need to do is spread the truth to people without judging them and without getting angry at them in anyway. We can’t talk to them if we can’t love them, and they will remain in the dark if we don’t help them.
Trump rigged the election with Elons help

I tried to tell (and was heard) Bernie Sanders to tax the wealthy when the economic instability rose and he was among the only ones people listened to without much bias until DJTurd started calling him a communist (he's a social-populist). Distinctions dont matter to people that are susceptible to repetition and lies (never learned to trust the right people, discern lies from truth or the laws of logic... religion leads them because they are completely and utterly confused and always have been. Good people learn morality from GOOD people. It is Not taught in any of the scriptures I've scrutinized and walked away from when I was a child... if anything these texts are so far from their initial intentions that you'd be a complete magamoron to not grasp that these texts are nefarious.. you were just lucky enough to grow up around good people despite their religious affiliation). Education mattered. Now, you need to push to tax the ultra wealthy to pay their fair share: 35% (not joking) for the top 1% and 25% for the top 10%. Top 20% pays 20% etc. Education tests should be given so that if someone is inadequate socially/mentally: they have to pay 15%. The rest (bottom) pays 10%. Then we all vote for where the money goes. I'm Canadian, but this is a discussion about the world... not your country anymore. This is US. Not the USA. We're all in this and we've defended against the attacks of Russia united for decades, now (Norad). We also had joint military forces and technologies. Somehow, you fools elected a buffoon because you have no grip on reality (dont even have a knee-jerk reaction to say that it's not the case for you specifically... You're part of this). I've been working at addressing all these issues on my own for the last two decades and that's almost all of my life while you rejoice the pleasures of life. Nobody asked me to do this, but YOU don't get to deflect the fault. Every Time you avoided talking politics and religion with your peers, YOU allowed the problem to fester. Watch "the line" on youtube and educate yourselves. Quote me everywhere and spread the word: You need to tax the ultrawealthy up to 1/3rd-40% of their wealth so that people that actually enjoy screwing over other people (because it's inevitable with that much wealth in a lifetime) deserve to be sanctioned. Not Taxed. Sanctioned. They are abusers. None of these fools have built foundations and funnel funds to help others which would turn into profits if they weren't complete buffoons (or far worse, in this case). DJTurd is a diagnosed npd/narcopath and to be considered as the public punchingbag and perfect defense for the wealthy families that understood how to abuse at a larger scale. You are all puppets in a very lame history lesson that happened less than a century ago. Wake Up. You could even send a message if you did and make sure history doesn't repeat itself. I will not tell you what needs to be done, but you've taken the decision to let Evil take over. A Two tiered society (only a few years of this) is well on its way. Call it oligarchy if you want, but tyranny is also a term. Except p u t i n is far less capable than a Musk at abusing everyone. Guy lies about being good at videogames (meant to be fun / let go)... if he lies about that, he's lying about everything. His new girlfriend Donaldina trum p is a lifetime liar (npd diagnosis)... what are you fools waiting for?

I voted against forever, wars, open borders that allowed 10-20,000,000 illegal aliens to invade my country, I voted against biological males invading women’s sports, women’s locker rooms and women’s showers, I voted against mutilation of children, I voted against raging crime in our major cities and against crippling inflation. How does any of what I voted for negatively impact you?
Thank you, especially since a lot of us many generations ago, did not have a choice to come here. Wishing all of my people under the global oppressive thumb of totalitarian dictatorships protection and empowerment ✊🏽
Mr Reich . I am 65 years old . I delivered newspapers from the age of 10 until the age of 19 . Everyday at 4:30 am and before delivering the papers on my route I read the paper . Regrettably I have watched the medias wholesale retreat from holding our government accountable . At 19 I enlisted in the United States Army and served The United States for four years . At times my unit did not have enough fuel or ammunition to train properly . My service coincided with a period when America was going through a time of deep reflection . Over the following decades it was abundantly clear that the opportunity to embrace a more perfect union had been lost . Our numbers are great . With the depth of our generations knowledge we have one last chance to secure America as country where all citizens are treated equally . I apologize but I am unable to finish this message , it is time to take my granddaughter to school. In closing please do not dismiss the role our generation plays in our families , communities and our government . Please include my generation in your message’s . There are a lot of us . We have the knowledge of having lived through a difficult time in Americas recent history . Thank you for your dedication.
It's too bad that this message will never penetrate the maga echo chamber. And if it does they will just call you a socialist soy boy. This is a very sad timeline we have found ourselves in.
But after this presidency, they’ll never be able to recover
And the Democrats are any better? Biden could have done a bunch to put us in a better position, or even stood back and let a stronger candidate be the nominee rather than trying to win an election for a term which he is unlikely to have been able to compelte.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade and all these leftist groups could try a bit harder getting their communities in order and/or being louder about it. Seems us and maga has a tendency to wait for those in power to fix things for us.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade Our country was not, and is not supposed to be a two party sham of a democracy. Despising the incompetent democratic party is not mutually exclusive to denouncing the insanity of the republican party.
I hope that you are right. As a German, I have my doubts about America. I have always admired this country and its people. But at the moment, I feel despair and disgust.
I’m feeling terrified. Despair is the mood.
It’s so easy to doubt Americans but hell brother, after going to the blm protests, I was proud of my fellow Americans. This country is going backwards, becoming the thing that founding fathers strived to defeat. But a lot of progression came from America, not from billionaires, not from presidents, but from the working people who stood up when things got tough. I have faith in what we can accomplish. Before this, our politics were just a drama, a tragedy, that many watched for entertainment. But when the oppression is felt on a personal and community level, we fight for what we believe
I made my previous comment before watching the video and now I see it’s exactly what he says too oops lol
If things really do get out of control in America I’m hoping NATO or allied countries in general to try to help us. I hope it doesn’t ever get that bad, I hope that things can get better through peaceful means, but I also can’t deny that it’s impossible to win fair and square when your opponent is cheating
As an American I feel the same. I can’t watch the news, I can’t hear IT’S voice. I hope this video is right, but considering people voted for frump again I have my doubts.

@@jasonjames4254 Wishful thinking that assumes enough people actually care to do the right thing instead of the easy thing. That's probably also what the russians, Chinese, and Belarusian, and any number of people living under other autocratic rulers thought. Yet there was no revolution.

After 2024, I will never again say that the American people are not stupid.
People are stupid everywhere 😅. You should see in Eastern Europe where I am currently. But yeah I thought Americans are smarter than that
Maybe you will see how much Americans have been controlled, manipulated, infiltrated, indoctrinated, programmed, etc etc etc. Even the sheer amount of effort to make citizens barely get quality information, education, news...while also pushing low wage jobs, big debt, poor healthcare, poisoned food to make them distracted and sick. And without ways to come together and organize on a large scale...even no proper public transportation across the states...all lead to being less able to make government held accountable. Oligarchs and Israel and Russia have been infiltrating and manipulating markets, housing industries, political campaigns and options for over 50 years.

On average, the happiest citizens are in Finland. I think everyone should study how they got big money more out of their politics. A big part of it is better education and more than two parties with a chance of winning.
Oh man, I first read that as Florida, and I was oh no, a troll. 😂
Don’t worry their right wing take over will change that……
I think the first lesson is not to focus on "big money". Focus on a liveable country, a strong social net and justice.
I think America's big mistake is thinking that you need to make big money first and all the good things will come after. Nope, because to hit big money in this world, you need to be corrupt and if you're corrupt, nothing good will come from that.
Coming from someone who clearly has no idea what they are talking about, I'm good. Thanks for your effort of nothingness.
We can also look to Sen. Sanders, People for the American Way, Social Security Works!, The Move to Amend and other groups who've been working on this for some time. Progress is being made. We need more participation by We the People. Such civic action does not have to take lots of time, or even ay $. The documentaries Ethos and Bernie Sanders: A Presidential Comparison, are excellent resources for understanding and overcoming this un-American intrusion. PS some years back, the far right removed Civics classes from our public schools, This left young folks without knowing the meaning and value of Civics: Out government and our place in it. They've no idea our Founders gave Power to the People. It is ours to pick up and use. Voter apathy is a tremendous factor, along with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
I doubt that I will see America return to anything resembling the country I have lived in for 76 years. It will take decades to fix the horrendous mess we have made of it, if ever.
I'm 23. I've got decades. We'll bring it back. Thank you ❤
Yup I'm in this for the long haul! If it takes 50 years I'll be there.

I think we'll just have to build something new and alternative as the old system collapses under the weight of its own cancer and self-contradictions.
Alternative systems could involve decentralization, grassroots communities, open source innovations, mutual aid networks, transparency and community-based developments that emerge from community rather than corporate needs.
If each of us can find some way to contribute to a cause we care for, and share with others, that might help.
Some people could focus on local farming. Others on open source protections. Others on community pooled money/resource funds. Others on art. etc.

I would argue so too, although the ”day to day” symbiosis and the absolute symbiosis (since to many political elements have still prevented their absolute influence) might not have been enough to define it as an actual oligarchy. Now it definitely is. And what we definitely now can say is that the US is also of today a plutocracy. To some extent a kleptocracy, and that will likely increase. Will it be a kakistocracy too? Really… let’s hope, because the sooner it will collapse on its own hubris and ignorance.

Oligarchy is ugly. All these ppl are disgusting. What happened to the laws of our Constitution and enforcing them. Amendment 14, section 3 has been ignored, yet it sits in plain sight. Is the Supreme Court not guilty of brushing aside our Constitition instead of protecting it and enforcing it? Should they not be impeached for doing so? Can Americans unite and file a class action lawsuit against the Supreme Court for NOT honoring their Oaths of office? Can we start a page where people can sign a Lawsuit against our Suoreme Court? We need accountability and we need OUR voices heard.
They are running America as if it were part of the Jim Crow South. In the Jim Crow South, the law is whatever the local sheriff says it is.
It's the fact that it was all preventable that has been getting to me today. If the people in power had any integrity or spine, he would have been behind bars and disqualified for presidency by the 14th amendment within 24 hours of the Jan 6 insurrection.

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.”

@@Desert_Rogue_Tanker Awww, did your feelings get hurt? Cry more MAGA twit. Is your red hat too tight again? Biden did lots to help this country. Your orange guy has done nothing to help anyone but himself and his billionaire buddies. Now go sit in the corner and let the adults talk here.
How many new wars happened under his leadership? How about the last admin?
I don't hold out hope at this point. I was a child in the seventies, and still remember when on person could support a family and be buying the home they lived in. It's been in decline since the 80s. What was that headline I read the other day? Something to the effect of "I always knew I'd have to watch wealthy men burn the world, I had no idea they'd be such losers". I think it's done. I think it's overdue.
That headline was in The Guardian

In my 71 years, I have witnessed many bad things in America. We overcame all of them. I worked many years as a DA civilian under many presidents, both republican and democrat. What comes around goes around has been said many times. This to shall pass. Therefore, I agree with you, Bob. Thanks for sharing your encouraging words. Take care.
Thank you for your rational, measured, courageous words.
And thank you
It will pass.. You just won't be the ruling empire after it tho 🤷
@@mcgc93 It's probably for the best.
except the climate-crisis has never been this bad before; thats my biggest worry. hopefully we can find some way to organize against this.
While I applaud your call for optimism, I remain in despair. I was hopeful of your points when Trump was voted out of office in '20; my hope increased as his serial felony indictments accrued; optimism grew during Kamala's campaign stops -- and then the electorate somehow thought that returning Trump to office was a good thing. The majority of the people didn't see the boil for what it was; I shudder to think what it will take for them to finally wake up and act in favor of democracy.
Jesus said: In this world, you will have trouble; but, take heart, for I have overcome the world!!! Jesus will have the last word on Trump!!! Because Jesus is sick and tired of God's Children and God's Earth being used, abused and exploited in the name of profits, power and greed!!!!!
The one thing that makes me feel so negative is the total failure of leadership in the Democratic party, starting with Biden. His failure to understand the changes happening in politics, of the multi decade effort by the right to get where we are today and to do virtually nothing to stem the tide. If Biden had picked, oh say Kamala Harris, for AG do you think Trump would still be a free man, much less POTUS again? When the gifted almost unlimited power by SCOTUS what did he do with it. He did nothing but play politics as usual, like the GOP was just a normal party with differing views instead of what it has become, a non violent (mostly) overthrow of our democratic republic. I have serious doubts we will have another Presidential election in 4 years as a result of the blindness of Democrats from top to bottom.
Only action by the people organizing will see change the Billionaires plans started about half a century ago if not earlier in response to the New Deal and the death of FDR it didn't come out of nowhere and the takeover of education and media were key parts of this long term ploy
Meta and other social media are complicit the right has weaponized identity politics and until we see that for what it is and get up and organize a counter response nothing will change.
stop yapping don't care Trump's your daddy now, not senile Biden. I VOTED FOR THE RIGHT MAN AND IM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥

Watching a few days after original post...
1) Thank you for sharing this message
2) I am choosing to believe, to have hope. I don't know who said it first, but 'sometimes things have to get worse, before they get better' ... we seem to be approaching the worse part.
And, while 'hope' is not a plan, it can help.
🕊✌️🦋
Sometimes hope is all we have. That's what makes us human. We WILL get through this. We can start with being kind to each other and protecting anyone who's part of a marginalized group.

HE ADMITTED THEY RIGGED IT LAST NIGHT.
WE NEED TO POSTPONE THIS TRAVESTY AND INVESTIGATE!
Hear, hear. I think they have been investigating behind the scenes. They must know of the numbers that are off. The blue camp can doubtfully be the one to raise the flag, so watch for an international organization to step in. It has been coming to light that contests in other countries have been riddled by those who also had a hand in ours, and some are finally starting to see the emperor's lack of clothes. A slow reveal could help ensure our safety. We can do things like contact our representatives in the meantime and not succumb to fear. Hope :)
I haven't seen any of that, do you have a source?

well, this white woke male Retired Married, with no kids, a Boomer of 65 lives in a solid Blue state, Own our HM and cars, and has 2.5M in the Bank...we'll be fine. The election was about MORALS, Decency, Self-Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Sympathy, and Most importantly HONESTY!

This gave me hope. I am still so scared to live my life proudly here, thank you.
I voted for Harris and I am very disappointed, like everyone else.
I, like you, have so much love and hope for America. I am not chucking in the towel.
I am growing my own food and sharing work with my neighbors.
I am just one person of many, in an entire town that still has hope.

You have may hope, Mr. Reich... but that died for me when the American people foolishly betrayed it over eggs... f***ing EGGS!
it is real life idiocracy/autocracy... really sad times ahead...

It finally clicked for me this morning right before I saw this . We have to go through this together again to expose this ugliness that’s going on in our Country 😊
RR is beacon of hate, of hopelessness, of racist Marxist division.
I could only make it halfway through this. Americans do abide aristocracy. Now being rich excuses all sins. Americans will suffer for being stupid, and feel obligated to be stupid - and feel grateful.
Thank you for bringing some clarity to this bleak situation. I am overwhelmed by the number of everyday working people who support him. How can we endure this? It fills me with despair to think about what is coming. I’m not sure how I will cope. 😢😢
My entire family supports him despite me begging them to see. The care about Christian nationalism above all else.
I am in limbo right now. My mom, who I took care of, is in Assisted Living under hospice, and we are selling her house.
Meanwhile I am staying with my best friend and her husband while I find a place to live. I also was injured at their house and ended up needing a rotator cuff tear surgery so I am here resting. The point is, they are big trump supporters. It is just as painful as my shoulder being here. I do not dare discuss politics with them as I will be told to not argue if I even bring up facts..so i distance myself as best I can. Keep looking for a place while I heal.

It won’t, but that doesn’t mean that the change will be bad. In the short term? Yeah, it’s probably going to get much worse, but the U.S. is no stranger to massive cultural clashes. The American Civil War irrevocably changed the country, and in the short term it was devastating. It tour gaping wounds in our country that took generations to properly heal, and the scars from it still remain. That experience lead to us be a better country though. Same thing with the Civil Rights Movement. That had violence, lynching, set back after set back, but it was worth it in the end.
We cannot turn things back to the way they were, nor should we. Sure, they were better than things are now, but it also directly lead to our present issues. We will steer America toward a new direction, one that’s a little better for everyone. First, we need to get through this rough patch first. 🇺🇸

@ Like an old preacher said- "He better get himself some asbestos drawers!"
Hundreds if not thousands of new politicians will try to act like Trump because they see how it helped him elected twice. Trump created a tradition that many will try to imitate and some might even try to be more crazier than him. All this happened because of fake liberals and democrats who failed the people miserably. The left will keep getting defeated and humiliated until they elect true leaders
That’s fine. We like JD Vance as well.

Thank you for working so hard to enlighten us. Hopefully people will wake up soon.
But why didn't Americans learn this last time ... ? The stench was definitely brought to light.
Complex world-wide-socio-political-economic factors that have led to many Governments around the world being removed from office in the last year, as well as a painful short term memory, a lack of consideration for wider factors or consequences of their voting, and a general lack of education, which has become even worse (and will continue to worsen) in the age of misinformation. In the words of Bob Dylan: “People are crazy. Sometimes are strange.”
The Godless have no memory And feast on lies.
Exactly, so why another chance ?
MAGA and their use of Media and Social Media has helped undermine those memories through the employment of psychological biases intended to overprint and replace those memories by getting Americans to call up and replace them are part of the exploitation of identity politics.
Research shows that when people internalize a group identity it starts initially by one or more aspects they resonate with before they eventually adopt the full range of views associated with those identity labels. When faced with cognitive dissonance their memories under trump were more easily replaced than to challenge the mix match between identity/community and reality.
We can not assume people will wake up we need to recognize how we are being manipulated by maligned actors. Only action will bring change we need to create communities which can rehabilitate those indoctrinated else the cognitive dissonance to come will likely lead to even worse outcomes under billionaire control of social media.
Thank you for continually explaining the reality behind this dark period we are entering! Your expertise is extremely valuable!
Our priority at this time is to do all we can to organize and defend.

As a Canadian I can say your troubles are the worlds troubles now. The difference between the past and now is the sheer amount of social engineering on a global scale that has convinced people that billionaires and corporations have the right to profit at any cost. We have a global corporate/investor aristocracy with more money that any single government has or will have in any near future.
Yup. This is now a GLOBAL oligarchy.
Weird that those same tech companies where allowing the FBI to censor speech of conservatives and dissident on their platforms
And do the bidding of the EU to censor their speech as well. A basic human right. Where was your outrage for this??
Thank you, Mr. Reich. I own one of your books and it was a really good read. I'm incredibly scared for the future, but as I learn in real time, fear is the goal. Fear to keep us from demanding true justice. Things will get bad, really bad. But we can't give up. Thank you for everything, Mr. Reich. Godspeed.
Thank you for these words of encouragement! We need them right now.
Thank you, for this Robert. Because of your videos i am getting involved into politics like never before.

We had the opportunity to address these issues & save democracy in November. Apparently the price of gas & eggs was more important. It will be interesting to see how Trump supporters react when he doesn’t deliver on his promises.
They don't care! What else?
The US is no longer about reason or meaningful topics... maybe it never was. It's a political show!
they only care about being fascists.
"the price of gas and eggs" is a dogwhistle at this point. He ran on an even more extreme version of the same rhetoric he ran in 2016-we need to face this dilemma: half the nation has decided it's more or less fine to be an openly racist rapist and convicted felon and also be president.
If they are ignorant, it is a negligent and criminal degree of ignorance. We need to take aggressive action against this threat yesterday!
About one third of the population voted for Harris; slightly more than one third voted for Trump; and one third stayed home and created this mess for which now we all will suffer for the next two years (hopefully) but possibly four years (God forbid).
His cultists won’t care at all. They will just deny the fact and/or blame someone else. Truth has become obsolete, utterly irrelevant. America is so, so broken at the moment… ‘May god help us all’, where us is the rest of the world. Not that we’re doing any better in Europe, twenty years behind as usual. What I see happening is that all my high-middle class friends and I are ditching as much American soft-power as we can. All the tech ring-kissers at his inauguration their services first.

That was before the mind numbing existence of social media.
Social Media is a weapon of the Oligarchs until the tyranny of their black box algorithm manipulation and global control is stopped they will keep winning by further driving and fueling right wing ideology. The hidden nature of their algorithms lets them manipulate what people see and hear and they can pass any blame for the atrocities that follow onto the inscrutable algorithm.
We need alternatives not under billionaire control and to get people to adopt/change or at least recognize that social media is a poison.
Social media has been a HUGE factor in trump being re-elected. I watched a short documentary about the sheer volume of Tweets that Musk put out....all lies and propaganda of course. The actual amount was staggering!

Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience

I'm a Brit, and I'm worried sick about Trump 2.0 😢
He has already signed an order that the US is withdrawing from The Paris Climate Accord!! He's going to stop ALL funding for environmental projects, putting 1000s out of work at the same time. This is an absolute disaster for the world, and for the future of everyone's children and grandchildren! He's going to roll back ALL of the climate projects, and drill for more and more coal and oil.
This is just an idea.... It's something positive that you can be doing, to make small changes over the next 4 years, and fighting back, on what Trump is doing.

It is a strength to show up with compassion, service and kindness to all people. I acknowledge that I am an imperfect human and will extend grace to myself and others when we falter. Things will be hard yet I can stand against tyranny and oppression because my heart is full of love for my country and all the people on its land.

We will see them at the local level now and the federal level in 2026.
