Lyrics:
Lord, we thank you for this day and please protect us
From anything that might lead or affect us astray
Kids, make sure you read your Bibles, it's the best word
You can't be watching nothing with the "S" word, okay?
You know it breaks my heart
Our culture is so coarsened! Clinton was the start, and
Eight years, more debt
We need to get back to the tenets of small government!
That's why I came to cheer and watch
A statist who likes to grab crotch...
So give me more disclosure of entitlement proposals
I used to say we can't afford
Tax my trade and close the border
Give crude language the exposure
That up 'til now I abhorred
While I'm not a total poser
You could say I'm getting closer
You! Look at all you people out here nodding!
While soon there's gonna be a lot of bombing, we grieve
Trump!? That guy just gives the pot a stirring motion
I haven't seen such terrible emotions since New Year's Eve.
You know it broke my heart
The wars are never-ending--George Bush was the start and
Don Trump / Mike Pence?
We need to stop the droning, it's just common sense
Those are things I'll protest and scream
Unless, you know, it hurts my team...
So hand me a pink poster because now I'm an opposer
Of the bombings and the wars
That for eight years I glossed over
My memory is as selective as
Meryl Streep's I suppose
Pass that stuff we brought from Boulder
You could say I'm getting closer
You could say we're getting closer.
You could say we're getting closer.
".... that for 8 years I glossed over"
Poignant and profound. Remy kills it, again!
An age when parody and satire have become the most trustworthy sources of information.
Too true.
*Yup*
The court jester is beneath the king's contempt.
always was
s0nnyburnett lol ikr
it is simple... I see Remy in the thumbnail, I click, I watch and I thumbs up....
same
I've heard the thumbs up factors into the algorithm more if you do it at the end of the video, because UA-cam recognizes that thumbs-ups after viewing carry more weight than those that happen at the beginning.
But I have no evidence to support this assertion, other than having heard it. So take it with a grain of salt. And always watch to the end to support channels you want to see do well.
Wow very funny and honest pointing out a bit of hypocrisy on both sides. Most neutral comedy sketch that I have seen about the election :)
I wish he's been less critical of religion (not the hypocrites, just in general) but I guess I'm more of a republitarian.
Jacques Marneweck Yeah but the hypocrisy is exaggerated through strawmen...so there is that.
Strawmen are not the norm but they are out there. I would say the public use of crude language and perversion was more thanks to the opposition then Trump himself. Also with hindsight. Trump offered the UK true free trade (something the Uk will need if they ever want a successful Brexit) and it was rejected.
@C caymer source
@Wo Long unless you have read any nozick, the main libertarian. Once you read his shit and understand the theory, you realize it is about as stupid as communism.
I laughed pretty hard at "SMUG EXHALATION" getting a subtitle.
I'm partial to the "we grieve" part. That level of condescension is so typical of lefties.
Dude I love the ending! "Unless , you know it hurts my team" - Both sides are corrupt! Until the masses see the false dichotomy nothing can be fixed.
the only reason i like red is cuz they arent racist, not because of good policies or anything, just simply that reason, and that reason alone, and im a supporter of communism but still support trump cuz the dems have gone full racist which is worse than capitalism
@@kitkat47chrysalis95communist? Why are u here?
@@josejh-eb8st Stalin is red and so is Trump.
Watching this hurts my heart so much because I've seen it happen IRL. There's such a good message here and if I don't watch it over and over I feel like I'll fall into the trap myself.
Time for a part 2? I am really feeling a part two coming on...
... That was actually, dare I say it, reasonable and, please forgive me, pretty good!
lol..
triggered
Drink!
lmao i finished with the same skeptical ".... its pretty good"
It kicked ass and effectively made fun of everyone.
2023… we need a sequel to this song
This song is the sequel. What’s past is prologue.
Brilliantly shows the hypocrisy of both sides. It's so annoying to try to explain to people these days that if you're libertarian, you're not on either side.
weedwak ive met some real libertarians, but most ppl who claim it are just too scared of upsetting one side or the other, and they dont want to take responsibility for taking a position, no?
@AlexLoeher
One of the two parties has two libertarian-leaning factions. The other one is a hivemind calling for socialism.
AlexLoeher
I strongly disagree. Throughout my years of political activism, starting in my student youth and going into my activism with the local GOP liberty caucus and libertarian party, I cannot come to believe what you have written. To keep a long story short: you're out of touch.
AlexLoeher
That is ironic coming from you.
AlexLoeher
Not in this case.
Remy is the only thing keeping reason alive
maggot1111666 and Stossel is what's killing it.
Andrew and Austin are my favorite part.
Why do you think so? I'm a fan of Stossel's content.
Don’t forget my boy John Stossel!
stossel's good but he seems so out of character and awkward, but what he presents is more important than that
I'm binge watching Remy now. Damn good
Same here
I do it every time he posts a new one
A little late to the party, found him from his Magic parodies, but THE. BINGE. IS. AWN.
“Pass the stuff we got at boulder” oh Colorado
Remy videos is why I subscribe to reason
how.
Why? We're here for propaganda
So about those endless wars between 2016-2020…
They didn’t end.
Even know we’re involved in Syria.
There was no war during 45. (except one Syrian bombing)
Well Trump was the first president in forever to not start a single war.
He also tried to remove Obamacare and made the government in many ways smaller with all the tax cuts. I'd say ReasonTV has many reasons to like him.
Yeah he wasn't a libertarian but he was the best we could've gotten
We’re going to need a new song!
I could think of a few...election fraud, Biden corruption with Ukraine and China, and all the evilness being accepted through the mainstream media. Yeah, I can think of a few. They are all terribly sad.
@@Tucker454 We don’t live Biden. We just hated Trump. I don’t think anyone loves Biden
Watching this in the age of Biden is actually something you have to laugh at or you'll cry. Still funny how Trump hasn't started any New wars
Trump actually surprised me. I didn't vote for him the first time but I did the second.
Hasn't start a war? Your whole country is on the edge of a civil war...
@@pimc172 we've been like this for years. 1. Hasn't gotten hot yet 2. Given that Biden is part of the very establishment that created MAGA in the first place shows that the "Civil War" really had nothing to do with Trump. He was a symptoms of the problem
@@iasonjacksongrace I sincerely hope you guys will sort it out
@@pimc172 I doubt it. We've tried peacefully, but they cannot see that maybe they are the problem
...this could have been released today just as easily as 3 years ago.
“Tax my trade and close the boarder” don’t mind if I do
5+ years on, this is hilarious. As much as I can criticize Orange Man, he’s the least among the warmongers. That includes O’droner.
Yeah they are both giant hypocrites. Sadly it never ends
Man, I feel as though these were the good ol' days... Looking back in late 2020.
Wow this needs to go viral, Remy you have outdone yourself man!
It took me too long to find this channel and these videos but I must say they make me happy every day. The gift that keeps on giving because nothing is really changing.
This video sure is interesting four years later. Turns out that Trump wasn't the giant dictator so many thought he would be, and he did more to promote peace than any president since Reagan. That spending though... Yikes.
The military spending was overkill, but I think the rest of it was due to Democrats forcing his hand on the budget. Remember Trump was getting blamed for the government shutdown and people not getting paid makes them upset, so Trump had to sign a spending bill that he mostly disagreed with in order to maintain any sort of positive image.
I think Trump's 2017 and 2018 were less than amazing, but 2019 was America's best year in a long ass time.
Well it took 2 years to fix a bunch of the Obama crap. How’s Bidens first 2 years?
Remy's parodies are so much better then the real songs.
The worst part about modern politics is that both parties lost their identity and it's just became about beating the other team
Not only beating the other team, but silencing working-class voters.
I'm a Trump supporter but I still have a sense of humor and can admit this was funny. But let's be honest no ones perfect, especially not Trump but I agree with the majority of his proposals even if he messes up sometimes. Let's not pretend to be neutral when we're not.
I'm curious where you're at now - do you think Trump actually won the election, do you think the Capitol riot was a good idea/forgivable?
@@AnythingMachine I do
4 years later. Time to do a remake and switch sides?
He basically did: ua-cam.com/video/Tc8THxze3h0/v-deo.html
This is something that I can get behind, making fun of everyone instead of just the right
except libertarians!
He isn't really making fun of either. He's saying that both sides have valid points and that they have things they care about that they SHOULD care about because they're important.
The religious guy isn't played up for laughs. He's shown to be a loving father who cares about raising his children to be polite and respectful. He doesn't like the "coarsened culture" and wants to get back to a smaller government. These are all good things.
The younger guy isn't played up for laughs, either. He's shown to be someone who doesn't want us to be in any wars.
But the fact is that they both discard their morals in the name of supporting "their team" (or, really, to support a team that isn't really "theirs" but is "the enemy of the team I dislike more when both teams are doing the same shit.")
The conservative guy said that he wants to support Trump despite Trump embracing foul language "that up 'til now I abhorred." He's picking a candidate that he doesn't even like because he perceives it as "his team" (or better than the other team).
The younger democratic guy says that he is willing to "protest and scream" things like wars & droning, "unless, you know, it hurts.. my team" because Obama did all the same shit.
Remy ~recently (last year) put out a video from a republican PoV where he's "happy" that Biden is in office so that he can now suddenly start caring again about shit like the national debt.
The point is that both sides are hypocrites: they only care about things (war, debt, morals) insofar that they will oppose their "team" to stop the "enemy" from winning.
And the real message is that NEITHER side should be happy with the options that they are given. Neither should be voting, and ideally, dare I say it, should consider voting independent for a party that actually aligns with them.
I love that army of Remies in the background :D
Man I miss the golden age of my life [2018-2019]
I wonder if anyone else is listening to this classic in January 2021.
May 2024, getting ready for Trump 2.0.
Remy, truly gifted ! Deserves much more views !
Miss Trump!
But I reloaded
nailed it again.
This is one the most poignant Us political summaries of the last 30 years. In a parody song 2 minutes long. Genius.
Trump blew all our expectations away. Can't wait until 2024 so we vote for him again.
The one set of uploads I truly look forward to from ReasonTV: Remy!
Critical thinking is necessary.
Once again Remy knocks it out of the park.
Ironically, Trump was pretty good on war compared to other R and D.
I don't know how ironic it is, just a bunch of assumptions that were wrong.
He destroyed Isis.
1:08 this age well , most peaceful president in 40 years !
Not really. He drone strikes more than obama
Hot damn, I love this song. You just can't hate it. It's ALWAYS a bop!
Love the original song, so parody is still awesome. The current establishment opposition to Trump is not anti-war at all. Just anti-speech, free-association, and due process. There is not a single part of Democratic Socialism that should appeal to a libertarian. Both democracy and socialism are tyranny. 2016 outcome was still better than another Bush or Clinton in the White House. My fellow millennials are starting to see value in federalism and limits on national power. Unfortunately we still have the Drug War and the Foreign Wars. Gary was the only man who could have changed it, but that was never gonna happen. If only he didn't insist on baking the Nazi cake and knew a foreign leaders name. Aleppo gotcha question was complete B.S. The media always fails libertarians. The second a libertarian starts talking outside the index card of allowable opinion----they ask him about those decades-old racist newsletters. Trump is making the media look like the sycophantic ideologues we always knew them to be.
Remy kills it every time. Cheers to the weird al of the liberty movement
the truth has never been displayed in such a manner so clear
Pop music is such shit these days. Whereas it used to be a shared culture, now it's just a big fat parasite on groupthink.
I know that's not entirely new: "50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong!" Sorry, but 1 billion Chainsmokers fans are musical retards.
I'm with you. Not sure what I just watched.
That sucks you had to get old to not give a fuck. Glad you made it though :)
I passed through this stage of old age in 2014, when a youtube channel I'm subscribed too stopped parodying songs I like and started parodying songs either didn't like or had never heard of.
but your reason for commenting shows you do give a fuck about such things ;)
Remy. He gets it.
the lyrics on this were really good, nice rhyme scheme and flow
Really good parody, especially considering how much international peace Trump brought.
Back to the middle east!
Joe Biden
To be fair, I never once cared about naughty words or Bible studies.
Maybe it's a Gen-X thing?
Ironically Trump didn't even end up starting any wars 😆
No one's hands (or conscience) is clean in politics. And if you vote, you're "in politics". Just a thought.
knowthingman what a bizarre statement.
Worldlylexicon
just my way of saying people always make compromises, even with their own stated (and actual) values, in "politics". From the politician all the way down to the voter. That is the essence of choosing between "the lessor of two evils".
So would you advocate not chosing?
Worldlylexicon
I didn't, did I? Just making an observation. (I vote BTW)
No you didnt. I was trying to understand.
simply great!!! this is probably the best video of Remy for ReasonTv, and that's saying a lot!
I was thinking it was the NIN song.
Poor Remmy, not even King Crimson could make Closer bearable.
What a Time it was
you have to love Remy! :D
i would vote for him!
Predictably these comments are filled with people who only see the hypocrisy on the other side.
U r gold, keep glittering
Brilliant
More Remy please!
That last shot with them together is killer.
just now learning about you and I have got to say I am impressed so far. not only with your observations but these songs are done really well man, your really talented.
Really? The media pulishes and plays non stop a private conversation between three adults behind closed walls and after he apologized it's still his fault?
This video aged well
This was Remy's test -- how does he treat Trump. Yeah be bagged on liberals but will he bag on conservatives??? And he did. Well. Thank you. Hypocrisy and greed and bad on either side.
Compared to the Hollywood video this wins the best yet award much more professional makes it entertaining and the point is made thats why I subscribe to this channel keep it up.
This one exemplifies why I'm a radical centrist
I find it sad that this is what our country has become.
"Pass that stuff we brought from Boulder" Being from Boulder County I approve
The Vietnam War was stopped because the media was against it and were broadcasting its horrors back home, while during Obama, the media rarely mentioned how terrible the wars were. The media truly are the most powerful entities in this country
Unless you know... it hurts my team
except im a christian trump supporter who loves weed!
We Libertarians are pro choice. So the Conservatives have us on that one.
Same team!
Pro choice on everything apart from killing babies
This one didn't age well, as Trump ended up being one of the least militaristic presidents in decades, kinda whiffed on that one. I don't think most conservatives liked Trumps language, or his history with women. Not to say democrats liked Clintons either, to be fair, Clintons history with women was way worse though, in that regard, Bidens is about on par with Trump in regard to mistreatment of women.
Biden also is infavor of locking up drug users
The 2016 election cycle is when Libertarians, Moderates and Conservative stood up and said "enough is enough" I don't care if Trump does grab crotch, we have to change the course of the United States❗️
Really, it's the year the Republican Party grew up.
Beats SNL by a mile
Wow. I've heard that comedians are usually very intelligent people. I see it's true...
This is why they stopped hiring comedians for late night television hosting. They're notoriously difficult to program.
We are getting very closer!!
Remy is everywhere at once in all of his videos
I'm so glad I grew up to be a real libertarian (A)
Well, Trump didn't start any new wars. But how y'all liking that Ukraine business?
well Trump didnt start a war
Why I voted for him
Why are your songs so good
Thank God it's another Remy video!!! Was missing you and your take on this thing called politics.
More please!
I voted for the Big Johnson.
...that sounded better in my head.
I legit converted from voting for Hilary to becoming a trump supporter
Why not the ecomomics of the GOP and social policy of the dems
@@justanotheranimeprofilepic how about neither 👀
I don’t think all of the gop economics and dems social policy’s are the best I think those are the best of each parties but the left is really nazi with its policy in some cases and the right can have to free of a market
this should have way more views
That is so accurate..
I agree with ya on red and blue honestly there should be another party at least
Love this video. No new wars, historical middle east peace deals, a quiet N Korea. Countries that were starting to pay into the UN. And then it all went to shit.
Still my favorite Remy music video....
You could say they're getting closer.
Wonder how many people realized he meant "to each other".
...everyone? They're literally stepping closer to eachother- unless you meant something else.
