We Went To a Trump Rally: What We Heard Will Shock You | Ft. John Russell

- Donald Trump voters told us why billionaires have too much power.
We visited a Trump rally in search of an honest conversation with Donald Trump's supporters about politics and policy, and we got it.
Trump voters told us about some of key issues they want to hear discussed on the national stage, and it’s a message that people across the political spectrum can get behind.

This is where it starts. Having conversations with working class people. This is exactly what the government is terrified of. Working class people need to stand together
it's meaningless, they still vote against their own interests
@@unabonger777 Exactly, they will vote republican even though they want to take away SS, Medicare, Medicaid, education, etc., all because they have been told that dems are radical communists. They are so easily led.
🎯🎸⚡
YEAH!!! ✊
"Working class people" -- these meaningless words are reminiscent of Marxism. But I heard that Trumpists are against Marxists.
Biden is trying hard to revitalize even small towns crumbling into dust. But MAGA is still thinking the Orange Jesus will lead them to the promised land. He's leading them to hell.
Together We Stand, Divided We Fall 🇺🇸
And Trump was exceptional at stirring up trouble, so we are now the Divided States of America! We were already upset, and the dude just keeps trash-talking us against each other. He's a big fat and whiny bully! 😂 I cannot support a president who cannot function either, however. Joe is NOT well either-neither one is fit for office-emberrassing! 😂
@@AshleySpeaks4Uum no! That's 3 terms of Obama.
@@AshleySpeaks4U I'd rather speak for myself sweet cheeks. Especially from someone who drinks the koolaid. You speak for yourself, no one else. If people agree with you that's great you might be doing something right or you might be manipulated and unbenounced, promoting a fallacy. Like the fallacy that Trump doesn't care. He lost about a billion thats $1,000,000,000 give or take a hundred million for being president. First president in a looooong time who's net worth went down not many many times higher after office like Bush Clinton and Obama. He donated all but $1 of his paychecks for being president and he didn't donate that $1 because you're required to take at least one dollar. He could be a darling in the eyes of the media and liberal arts entertainment like he was pre 2015, but he gave it up because he loves America and loves Americans and couldn't stand by while America was being destroyed. Believe whatever you want but the narratives your told don't align with the actions and policies and consequences of Trump running for president.
@@AshleySpeaks4U he still is in the last rally he says somethnig reallly hateful things and flags like KKK fly high
had a pretty racist rant at the end about how black and spanish people can only work immigrant jobs
then he threathed to kill several people in the government if he wins...
fuck that gut i dont even know why i was surprised
@@sondrasmith2691 honestly not even a Trump fan can say we werent less divided during Obama.
The division started right around 2016-2017
Corruption at the highest level is destroying America. Greed exceeds the needs of the people.
Kinda like a few people making stupid amounts of money off of the Ukraine scam
We should focus where they don't want, central bankers. They still sipping that champagne at wall street. U know when left focused on the real problems.
OK
The Nation is a Trust. Public Servants are Trustees. We the People are the Beneficiaries of the Trust. The Treasury belongs to the People. $2,000 recurring monthly dividend payments to every American.
Whose greed? Those people who belong to unions or have investments likely have retirement funds held and managed by Blackrock or Vanguard. The products we buy come from large corporations because they are better and cheaper. That’s us. Corruption is when those we vote for take money we don’t know about, then do things that benefit those who paid rather than those who voted. Until those who do that-both those elected and those directly giving the money to them for favors-are put in jail, nothing will change. Trump never did that. Biden has and still is right now.
Very refreshing to hear people TALK about what concerns the masses and to talk about both sides. Not just give who they support a pass.
I like the way this was done. This kind of conversation can help us see that we aren’t that different. We aren’t enemies.
SO MUCH THIS! We are ALL Americans, we just have different beliefs and that's fine but we all have to compromise to get along, just like a healthy relationship.
They need to kick the Nazis and the Christofascists to the curb.
they tried to overthrow the government and make trump a dictator
do they want to stop healthcare for trans youth or adults?
You guys and the Democrats are really outta your minds in tribalism.
So happy to see civil dialogue. This is what we need❤
You will never see that on the left though, u get hit n yelled at. Republicans are the opposite! If u don’t agree with Republicans they are ok with it, but the Democrats don’t do that.
Arresting and deporting 10 million people is ok, if Trump is elected ?
Outlawing abortion and divorce is ok too ?
Real conversations, real discussions, and less crazy. We need this so dearly.
But none of that matters if Trump gets elected since we can't believe anything he says, stands for nothing any and uses vague wording so you can imagine what you like. Trump is a lying, corrupt, con artist.
Like everyone on the same page, real discussions but Trump gets elected, it will be all for not.
Then vote for people who do that instead of supporting a felonious, authoritarian con artist? Maybe start there. Does this not make the least bit of sense to you guys at all?!
They are wrong about almost everything, but yes they had a civil conversation.
Save this country's conservative party. For fuck's sake.
they do not want big money and political power then they say they support unions. smh.
The divide is not blue versus red, it's the low and middle class versus the oligarchs.
This.
I would include rich class as well. There are tons of small and medium sized business owners who will also get screwed by these billionaires oligarchs
Every person living in the U.S. should watch this video and understand these concepts. Thank you for this great piece of work.
What concepts? That we don't ever talk about the issues with varying beliefs? Those people are talking about progressive policies and voting for a blatantly anti working class candidate.
How can u go from Bernie Sanders to trump? Sanders is extremely outspoken about the dangers of a trump administration and a maga minions cult congress. The interviewer could have asked simple non threatening questions and provided easily verified facts.
This video just shows how badly people are mislead and voting against themselves.
Yes, how right you are 🫂
I am a conservative and I really appreciate people talking about the actual issues. So often when folks start talking politics it's all name calling and personal attacks. If we could talk about the issues we might actually solve problems. Good video.
And those attacks and name calling usually come from the left because that’s all they have.
When have you seen the Republicans come to any table looking for results? Looking to do a damn thing except for the richest 2%?
Corporate media doesn’t want us to go there. The left & right have more in common than we’re allowed to focus on.
I'm left leaning and agree with you 100%. I'm not woke in the slightest either. the far left are f***ing nuts. I also understand the moderate right, as I have plenty of conservatives within the family. I remember the traditional (now less common) mindset of a conservative -it wasn't fascist, it never stood for overthrowing government. It stood for family values, patriotism, smart spending on policies that actually work, and maintaining a strong military. The traditional republican is so much less common these day. -But desperately needed to run a complete government. you can't have one party. This was the first video of Trump supporters that didn't sound unhinged. they sounded real.
Cause we're stronger united weaker divided.
Ok. I’m 69, years old, born in 1955. Growing up, my father worked for the US Postal Service as a detective. My mother had a few little jobs but mostly was a homemaker. My father’s salary provided for 4 children and his wife. We had 2 cars, a home and a vacation cottage at the shore. For 30 years now, I have watched young couples struggling financially even with both working. WTF happened??!!
This is not unique to the US, it's quite normal across the developed world. Could be described as reaching peak capitalism.
Minimum wage has remained the same for most of those 30 years
Supply side economics.
Well, woman's lib caused a whole lot, your Dad has a great job, BUT the answer is GREED, COVID 19, and TRUMP. We are praying for illegals to have homes in medical care, and a man called Joe Biden that is ruining and running down
No antitrust enforcement.
I traveled in my camper around this country for 2 years. I'm a NJ Democrat and it shows.....but while I was out there, everyone was nice to me. I had a fella with a confederate flag on his camper come bring me a plate of food to try his southern cookin. I''ve had cowboys come over with a tool to help me do a job better. I've been invited to meals and campfires.....and I realized something. Everything is fine out here. America is wonderful!
Please vote Trump this time around. I beg you. 🙏 I think we're all technically democrats, but both our parties are way out of whack. The only ones that honestly (and I mean HONESTLY) have American's values and interest at heart right now are the America First Republicans. A very large part of the Republican Party are still NEO-CON RINOs who are part of the whole elitist uniparty system... this pay-to-play vicious cycle that just ignores the majority of us. The Democrat party (with the exception of some smaller candidate folks who stay true to FDR/JFK style democratic politics) are all the same....
Please don't fall for the illusion of Kamala. It's so fake it makes me sick to my stomach. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Although the vast majority of Americans are decent people, there are many people who would be in danger traveling the same roads that you did. Even this guy is able to have these "civil conversations" because of the way he looks.
@kookootrix1978 Your username is very self explanatory.
Except the clown with the Confederate flag.
These people believe Trump will alleviate their problems. Jeesh!!!
I went to school in this area after growing up in the SF Bay Area and I tell you I was SHOCKED that I had so much in common with trump supporters. We all have common ground to stand on and people just want to feel heard.
But you don't understand that Trump wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. He doesn't give two fuks about you or anyone else just himself.
The hoodwinked well meaning progressives and conservatives. It honestly is breaking
I am in SF bay area and I voted and will vote for him.
Salty Cracker is in the Bay area. Neat.
It's because you shouldn't look at them like Trump supporters or Biden supporters theyre people.. this guy did a very awesome thing that day.
The ones I worry about, are the ones that are too wild to even have a conversation
It is surprising how many things regular people agree on. It is corporate America that thrives on keeping people divided.
Don't forget about both political parties, the unelected deep state, and certain individual politicians who allow the corporations to have the power they do.
you said it, 100% right
And social media. The more divisive and engaging the content, the more clicks it gets.
Absolutely. Agreed. We are so much better together.
It's a 3 pronged attack on the people by owned politicians, by corporations and the real surprise is Religion.
Very happy to see someone having the conversations to unite us instead of dividing us. Thank you!! ☮❤
Once upon a time corporations had a sense of obligation to take care of the employees that were helping make the company a success - then in 1970s, MILTON FREEMAN's economic theory came up with the notion that corporations had a duty to their shareholders, not their employees - we need to reverse this trend, get back our decent paying jobs, look after our families, and GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!
@@soniajulie6465 That never happened. Corporations never took care of anyone. Corporations always were concerned with profit. Thats what makes an economy work. Now corporations are basicly the same as the government. They work together. And they play politics rather then making good products for a cheap price like they should.
Hard to unite with people that want to vote for the same party that created the austerity measures that fucked this country while blaming Dems social programs for it and only taxing 65% of the money being made at 8.7% which is what the billionaires make and pay. Started under Reagan and continues to this day. Unlimited money in politics - republican pac sued to get that through and the conservative majority on SC approved it. Scalise said it only makes sense if you can see who is donating to the PACs but the new majority just ruled that it can be anonymous now. So yea, more corruption. Same problem in California. They complain about homeless people but a conservative judge is the one that ruled the state has no right to remove homeless people from public property and take their tents etc. And you see how that worked out.
@@marissashantez6051 Originally when a business received their charter to operate in the United States part of that charter agreement was to operate in the best interest of the public. Businesses used to, in the 19th century, have their charters revoked when they were harming the public. It doesn't happen anymore because any decent sized business can claim that hurts people by taking jobs. So it definitely used to happen in the US.
Rich rich people do not help poor people.
Thank you Sir for using the proper name for our government. We are a Republic.
Democratic republic

Democratic Republic.
And here we are a year later, and it's still rough.Did you see Mr Trump at the border 2 days ago, I just now caught him, compelling and he also said things I knew he'd done too, people need to open their eyes and see the bigger picture.
You are the first person who dissolves hostility and wins mutual consensus I have ever seen.
You need to see more people.

Bravo sir. Ultra conservative here. Loved it, because ive thought the same. Please keep doing this and lets get some eyes open on BOTH sides. We are ALL Americans. Lets start acting like that. Hate only gets hate back.
The far left hates this country and wants kids to do life altering surgeries. I think there's still a very solid line there.
The problem with MSM and liberal talking points is that they cherry pick bad apples and compile them making people hyperfocus on hate to fuel hate when the vast majority aren’t like that at all
As long as people don't talk about how someone else lives with unwarranted vitriol..we good. My only real issue with ultra conservatives is that many not all tend to have unwarranted disdain towards certain groups of people. Once that is gone yeah I agree with y'all the government is shady.
@Aliyah_666 That's how I feel about ultra left wingers. Constantly shouting nothing but hate from the roof tops for certain groups of people.
Unfortunately the Majority of Drmicrats won't sit and talk, the minute a disagreement is made the Democrat will shout, yell, cry, and call you Racist
Most calm discussion I've seen in a long time. Talking about what matters not separation narratives
I can't even get this much peace and harmony from my own Family when my dad (and any of his greasemonkey friends in earshot) refuse to stop bringing up politics because they steep themselves in hate media all day because it 'gives them a hoot' and makes them feel like they can say "ni**er" a lot more.
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThinghow sad. It’s deflection of sorts. Rather than delving into the substance of the real issues and there are plenty of issues ! Then know the material well enough to be able to talk like this calmly…..smh …..

These are the most thoughtful, intelligent and reasonable Trump supporters I’ve ever seen. No ugliness, just honest, sensible conversation. Maybe there’s hope for a more perfect union after all.
These are typical ... corporate news features the extremes for clicks
You need to start looking for more Trump supporters because nearly all of them are like these people. Media only shows you the very few minority of them that are bad or blatantly take people out of context.
@@coltonwilkie241how about the ones i sit by at work every day saying the homless should be burned? Exact quote
That's just bad people it doesn't represent the majority of Republicans. That would be the same as saying every person that rioted, burned buildings, took over the 3rd precinct were all bad Democrats. I don't believe all were, some yes but some didn't even realize what was happening just like Jan 6th but we get called Nazi's, Extreme MAGA from our own President Biden who was supposed to be the great unifier. We're all Americans facing the real problem of global Wars and possible attacks from within.

Great Job 🥰🇺🇸❣️
Comments like this prove we have more in common than we think. I'm encouraged by this.
@MrZipdang Yes. If we unite and treat one another with respect ~ we can do this!
@@jobskinner833exactly! It benefits them to get us bickering and hating.
Now you’re onto it… all of us ‘working class people’ versus the ‘elites’
More like, resentful minority races vs. the rightful majority.
"Poor Lives Matter" was killed before it started for a reason.
If you've lived in a small town you see this so much more often than expected. There are tons of people who think the same way these men do. However, many folks assume too much from either side and focus on the wrong things. This was great work and the right reporter to do this. Amazing job.
This ISN'T a "small town problem" this is an "ignorance problem".
Right. Here in east Tennessee there's a Trump store in every town in our county. And we have the most visited national park in the country... these places are always packed too. Not good. The flea markets here are full of these people too. My own family has been radicalized for Trump.
@@rosemadder5547 Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina is actually the most visited national park in the country. The Great Smoky Mountains is a distant third place most visited national park. "...radicalized for Trump." You mean like BLM and Antifa? What does that even mean?
@@rosemadder5547 just shoved down their throats until they broke! Unfortunately there is no getting them back to the middle. Good luck!
I live in a west coast small town. The people here are dangerous to women and children, violent, enraged all the time and insanely armed. They’re total lost causes and I wish they’d all drive their big trucks off a cliff.
At last. Someone asking the right questions and listening to responses. Good point well made.
They rejoiced over "winning" a 30 billion pay increase, or whatever. Do they understand where that 30 billion will come from? Every time you "tax the corporations" or get a settlement, or a pay raise, or whatever you think you won from "the rich guys", you need to understand where that money is going to come from. Just like with minimum wage: yea you get $15 an hour now, but your boss had to raise prices or go out of business to get that money for you, and everything will now cost you more.
You can call them "greedy CEO's" but none of you will do the work to set up such a company just to split the profits with your employees. No, you'll go ask someone ELSE for a job, instead.
When you "tax the big corporations" - the CEO pays NOTHING. YOU pay those taxes, in higher prices and cheaper products that don't last. YOU pay for the worker's pay raises, in higher prices for that companies products or services, and whether you buy them or not, someone you have to pay for SOMETHING has to pay the higher prices, and they will pass them on to YOU.
That's why price fixing doesn't work, either. It just implodes the production lines and kills the markets for their raw materials, and makes everyone suffer with lower wages and higher prices.
In capitalism, you can't expect to be well off in a wage earning job [and in socialism it's even worse]. You have to multiply your output, through employees to be one of the rich guys. But people grow tired of working their jobs and take it all for granted, and want more, from comparing themselves with others and nurturing dissatisfaction instead of gratiude for always having enough to eat and a place to live. If GOOD is not good enough, we will sabotage ourselves and have nothing.
The guy who said the whole thing was a corporate oligarchy hit the nail right on the head.
That's been true for a long time now.
The right wing are usually the smarter bunch but of course the even smarter bunch know about the small hat enemy which controls and is destroying America
It is true, but I wonder why there is such a disconnect between looking at what Trump DOES ( vs. SAYS) with big corporations. His only tax cuts served LARGE, billion dollar companies, his regulations rollbacks served large, billion dollar companies- and we’ve seen how some of those regulations being slashed have physically harmed people and communities. Not to mention Trumps endless grift - ripping off his base daily through the use of fear mongering. It’s just weird.
Once upon a time corporations had a sense of obligation to take care of the employees that were helping make the company a success - then in 1970s, MILTON FREEMAN's economic theory came up with the notion that corporations had a duty to their shareholders, not their employees - we need to reverse this trend, get back our decent paying jobs, look after our families, and GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!
Where is that stems from?
Eye opening thank you. Yes we need to engage civilly and respectfully if we want to get anywhere.
What an excellent contribution. If only we had more public discourse like this.
It's media, shills and politicians fanning the flames. It was noted in the video 10:00. Fight with each other so I can do my Hunter thing. Can you smell the BS?
The reply on this comment is being hidden by G**gle
Trump is the only NON politician running for President. Everyone else is bought and paid for. It's why they are so afraid of him. Trump's wealth is NOTHING compared to Black Rock and Vanguard. The Ukraine war is driven by military contractors and greased by the politicians they control... else peace would have already been negotiated. Trump is the ONLY one who stands a chance at setting this country back in the right direction.
I completely agree with you
Agreed and it has to be in person... Social media like Twitter is no place to debate politics
Seeing that they have people that are normal and not hateful makes me so hopeful for America
You probably should talk to Trump supporters instead of listening to news media. I am one, and I want America back, not the evils of the past, but a country where people support each other. Where as an adult you can do whatever you want to do. Where children are safe, and not having their innocent minds corrupted. We call ourselves Patriots because we believe in what America is supposed to be. We are proud of our flag because it represents thousands of Americans that put on a uniform and went to other countries to fight so our homeland, didn't have to live in the destruction of war. I was born in 1964, I have lived through desegregation, the Vietnam War, Dessert Storm, and 9-11. The proudest time in my life was 9-12, the day after I witnessed thousands of people murdered just because they went to work. On 9-12 every yard, building and street was covered in American flags. People were lined up for blocks in every town donating blood, gathering water bottles to send to New York for the rescue workers. People, all people in this country were united, ready to do what needed done. Firefighters from all over America went to New York to recover our people. We prayed, a lot. It was a horrible tragedy, but America was one. I believe we each have a right to vote as we see fit. I won't hate you for disagreeing, all I ask is the same respect. The news media wants us divided, watch something like a Trump speech. Listen to what he says, then watch the way the media spins it. Once you see it, you will understand. My awakening happened in 2016. Once you see it you can never unsee it. Our government is a mess, and it is being exposed, it is supposed to be made up of every day people like me and you. Not politicians, that care about getting rich. It's up to is to fix it. For our children and grandchildren. Listen to how politicians speak, in labels, white, black, gay, straight, Republican, Democrat. As if we are only one thing, and can be placed neatly in a box. I am white, I am Conservative, but I am also a mother, grandmother, Pipefitter, Christian, and an American. I don't fit in a single box, and neither do you. I promise we agree on more than we disagree on. Because we all buy groceries, we all buy gas, we all work, we all try to provide the very best for our families. The media and politicians don't want us to talk, because if we do we will discover we don't fit into a single box, in fact we don't fit in a box at all, we need our big ol country to hold us. I am Conservative not your enemy. Much love
99.9% of Trump supporters are normal and kind people. There's just a very small minority who are genuinely bad people that everyone else gets shackled to by the media.

@@kalburgy2114 It's fantastic to see. The part that makes people think you're irrational is that you support Republicans, who are NEVER going to address your needs and wants. Dems aren't perfect either, but their platform is a heck of a lot closer to what you are looking for. You just have to ignore the meaningless wedge issues and focus on policy.
Good comments. Glad you did this!
Brilliant. Now why are NO, NONE, ZERO mainstream media outlets reporting like this? This is how you fix things and find common ground. Discussion with no prejudice. As others have stated below, this reporting is fantastic and props to you and your team. Bridges need to built as the media are polarizing opinion and creating a toxic tribal political environment.
To answer your question about mainstream media follows: "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play". -Joseph Goebbels🤔 😳
It’s 4 people out of thousands.
An across the board corrupted news media is a threat to democracy for the very reasons you state. Sadly...we are very much in the midst of an era where the vast majority of the "news" media is blatantly corrupted and openly "cheerleads" for one political side and goes all "attack dog" on the opposing side. Btw...both "sides' of the political aisle have their media outlet allies so it's not one side or the other doing this crap...it's both.
It's against their agenda, and make no mistake. They have an agenda being pushed on the public by people way above their paygrade.
@@LoveyK The one guy even said trump didn't lose. However, I think the video does a good job of pointing out that we have things in common. Obviously, we may not agree on who or what we need to get there but at least that's a start.
An old lady here, still a hippie in spirit, a boomer, and a San Francisco born native who left California 15 years ago (ahead of the curve). We NEED more conversations like THIS, well done young man, subscribed
Good reasons why the Democratic Party didn't give you fools a platform in the 1960's to 1996. The Left would have thrown President Kennedy under the Bus. America's finest hour in 2024, when Leftist Agenda and the Biased Media that supports the movement, comes crashing down by the G.O.P. JFK , Democrat, Ohio. Good time for Real Democrats to take our Party back.
The media really just portrays QAnon boomers and actual racists people. There are more conservatives like this who aren’t looking for the divisive nature but I will admit unfortunately there are some who still fall for what their echo chambers tell them.
Hey “old lady”.., (not sure what age gets you that title), but I would say you are not an “old lady”, but maybe a better title would be “seasoned human”…. Hahaha..! This from a 60yrs young guy. Peace be with you.
So you ruined you’re state and now move to other states? You’re still a hippie at heart but those policies destroyed California yet you don’t change but try to change the places you move too?
Peace and Love
I can tell we wouldn’t agree on a lot but still RESPECT for willingness to have the conversation
Lol what is there not to agree with. Big government is a big problem🤷🏾♂️
That's what voters want from Congress members : to get along, to work together, to be empathetic to and supportive of America's allies.
The tit for tat governing is killing America.
I did NOT think this video was going to end up like this. I thought this was going to be like a Vice doc and bias. This was actually a really good video. Thanks!

How refreshing to hear people express their worries in a way we can all agree with. Thank you for posting this video.
Now this is journalism! Keep it up, we need more of this 👏
Its propaganda, I can take the most horrible people I know and talk to them like this, and edit so they seem like saints. I mean they man they are rallying for is against everything they just talked about he proved that with his actions. He was about help rich get richer, and economy is better then it was since he left office. And man wants to screw over that mcdonalds worker who is there to support him. He wants to take social security from his older supporters there as well. These people are just sad and confused...
💯Agree! 👍
Yes, real journalism, without an agenda to make you think a certain way. Propaganda! Most of the media and independent media are on the Internet.
This is what true activism looks like - having empathetic conversations and inspiring people to think for themselves (in a real way, not a “do your own research” way)
What? are they not all out there "doing their own research"?
@@Mike-tc8ob mmm you're right, maybe that wasn't clear. I don't mean that people shouldn't do their own research - more that I often feel pundits online bully people into believing they've done their own research, but really they've just made them believe what they believe
any one would researches into all the things trump has done
they'd never vote for him

Thanks so much for this. I’m a liberal, it’s so refreshing to see this group of people treated with respect, asked genuine questions and most importantly listened to. Everyone deserves that, whatever their background. Surprise, they have genuine grievances, and some are desperate.
yes apparently so desperate that they have been hoodwinked to believe that Trump is the answer to those grievances.
Every time you see these Radical Lunatics and their partners in the Fake News Media talking about the "Trials and Tribulations" of President Donald J. Trump, please remember that it is all a coordinated HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, the "No Collusion" Mueller Witch Hunt, the Fake Dossier, FISA Fraud, and all of the rest, in order to STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION through

can anyone tell me what DJT had to gain by running for president ?
he is already a billionaire, he was the most recognized face on the planet
he was a lifelong Democrat , Chelsea Clinton called him uncle Don
he had close relationships with these people for over 4 decades !
I think he learned of what the politicians plans were and wouldn't go along with it ,
then, they turned on him, threatening to destroy him and his family,
if he decides to run for president and stop their plan
and here we are 8 yrs later watching DJT under attack, by the same people he was close friends with for over 40 yrs
He also showed that the GOP positions are actually EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what they purport to want based on these conversations...and yet, they are so distracted by "culture" issues that are pointless they can't see it.
1,000 words aren't worth a nickle if they're coming out of Qanon mouths.
Thank you John Russell for sharing this content. It is clear that people from both sides of the political Spectrum see the inequalities and issues in today's world. I just don't think putting a supposed lying billionaire in office we'll fix our society. Not When he's having political dinners and selling political favors to his donors. Keep up the good work!
Hooray! We Americans are waking up! Finally seeing the things we have in common! My husband and I realized this about 3 years ago. I love my fellow Americans!
Of course we have commonalities. We all are having the human experience.
@@EH_888everyone except trump and his maga minions cult. You have to be morally subhuman to support some of the far right extremism of the Republicans right now.
Yes we've always had commonalities. The sad reality is that trumps maga minions claim to be pro working class but vote for the party that has been voting against us.
trump made the comment "I love the uneducated".. He has always exploited laborers and advocates for policies that uphold the wealthy class. Just look at some of the actual policies of Republicans and Democrats. Not dependent on news stations , pundits or his lies. Trump and right wing extremism are putting us in danger.
Really refreshing to hear people agreeing on these issues
True. Sad though they are supporting a candidate that only exacerbated all these issues.

This is really encouraging to hear.
So much of what they talk about are shared ideals. Politicians won't like this unity. They might even fear it.
I fear it if that unity comes behind a charlatan like Trump instead of someone like Bernie Sanders.
There ultra rich donors don't like it at all these people are talking about the same thing but the billionaire boys club back political prostitutes to divide the people to keep in power and control over the workers and economy because every single time the country isn't divided we all want to tax the billionaire boys club back into being just millionaires we all know we need reasonable wealth limits around 250 million dollars including home and land and stocks all assets. And a 10 home limit no limit on size .

This. This is how people with opposing views have a discussion. No hurling insults, no unhinged rants... Just fellow Americans sharing their views on important topics. If everyone could show compassion and respect for one another and have sensible conversations, we would see that we're not as different as we think.
Perfectly said.
@brianeberle8447 there are a lot of people willing to have these kind of discussions and discourse.
Agreed! So hard
💯FACTS! 👍😀 I just posted this comment:
AWESOME demonstration of our current Government & Global elitist ran system!!!
WE, THE MIDDLE, WORKING CLASS ABSOLUTELY HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON! Its most in Government and all the other elites (Biggest corporations incl. Social media, main stream media, some celebrities, Klauus Schwab & all WEF,) who are intentionally working to divide us.. because they recognize how powerful it would be if we got along and went against them! So they push division and they also intentionally create issues to work to distract us!
THE MEANING OF "DEMOCRAT" AND "REPUBLICAN" HAS CHANGED! Its the EXTREME FAR LEFT and the EXTREME FAR RIGHT who disagree!
IT"S THE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE WHO SHARE SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES AND IDEALS!!!
It’s so obvious, why has nobody thought of this before? Oh wait there’s already a concept called “centrism” and it has constantly failed humankind since 1930s Germany.
I appreciate the dialogs. I grew up Democrat. I'm a Black female from NYC, served in the military, and have met individuals from all walks of life. I care about rural America, as much as I do the inner-city, also what goes into our food, our health, and healthcare system, education, and housing - not rent, but homeownership! I, too, believe in border control. My family and friends migrated legally. I am not pro-gun. However, stand by an individual's right to self-defense. All that to say, I look forward to seeing, "We the People" come together! ❤
As a 🇨🇦thank you for your service 👊
Perfect.
Me too, young lady! Thank you for your service! I honor you and what you have sacrificed for our country!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
why you falling for this racist "border control" bullshit? legal paths to migration are thoroughly misunderstood by most people and pundits, and is an open appeal to white supremacy.
Come together to support who? You do realize that you have populists on the right and left agreeing on a few things, right? That's not surprising. The problem is that moderates won't vote for left wing populists... And the middle has shifted left since almost every GOP candidate is too extreme anymore. But if you had Bernie Sanders vs Trump? Trump would win every time. Why? Two reasons:
1. The right -- including the Never Trumpers -- is united against left wing populism;
2. Moderate Democrats would vote 3rd party because they're too self-righteous to see the damage in voting for a 3rd party in non-ranked-choice elections.
Look at this kind, thoughtful genuine people! No yelling, name calling.
Who support someone that called one of his primary opponents a fat pig on stage just like three days ago.
Spare me that MAGAs are simply a movement of love and understanding.
People generally don't take well to you pissing in their ear and then telling them it's rain.
Usually the only people yelling and name calling at trumps rally’s are the minimal amounts of protestors
Breath of fresh air! 💯
But they are kindly and thoughtfully talking nonsense. And they are not conservatives. Conservatives are not pushing for increase in wages by organizing. They want wages to go up as a part of an improving economy. Otherwise you end up with inflation.
extremely good point but they may still identify as conservative.@@marissashantez6051
This is simple, vote for the one who speaks to Americans and not divide them with hate !
It amazing how much common ground we have. I am a democrat and we are screaming the same thing about runaway corporatism ruining our country. We just need to unite and fight the real problems , instead of the contrived BS used to divide us.
I'm a Republican. I support regulated capitalism. The problem is crony capitalism. Trump supporters favor him because he's a political hand grenade in DC. The corrupt Republican leadership and corrupt Democrat leadership hate him. Why is that? It's because he tried to stop our forever wars across the world that made politicians of both parties wealthy. You probably know plenty about how various Republican politicians or their families. Do you know about how Democrat's cashed in too? James Biden made a killing in Iraq on government contracts. The same is happening again in Ukraine. Trump had a peace deal negotiated with the Taliban and Biden broke it. Trump ordered US troops out of Syria but Generals lied about troop numbers so not all were withdrawn. Trump is a jerk. I don't like him as a person. I figure if he's hated so much by the people I dislike, especially from both parties, then he's probably going to ruin their cons. Even if Trump was a con artist using his position as President for personal gain, he'd save the taxpayer money by ruining the rackets of both parties. I don't think Trump was using his position for gain. I think Jared Kushner, his son in law, definitely did. Trump is painted as some Right-wing extremist but he was a Democrat his entire life. He only changed parties after Obama.
That includes uniting to fight against Trump. He's part of that corporate greed and oligarchy. Quite literally the poster child for it.
*i COMPLEMTLY disagree..... what "democrats" are you talking about??*
Yours ENTIRE party (90%+) from the moderates, to the LEFTIST, alllllllllll support Big Pharma, Big food, MSM, lockdowns, spying on citizens, THE FUCKING FBI AND CIA, War, and mutilating children private parts. And ANYONE who says "i dont support it" but will happily vote Democrats in who 10000% in support of these things. Never speak up AGAINST it, just sits in silence and whispers "i agree with you guys" when they see a 'conservative'
We cant "unit" when EVERYONE works for Russia, EVERYONE is racist, EVERYONE is homophobic, ect, ect, ect, ect..... And it ALLLLL comes from the LEFT.
Just like slavery, and the KKK...... these problems were pushed on society BY THE DEMOCRATS.
And no, i dont support Republicans..... but the fact is, you CANT say the same thing about the right. The right OPENLY kick out ANYONE who is racist. They OPENLY go to rallies to CHANT DOWN ppl they want OUT the party like Mitch McConnel. We dont just sit around and shut up "until someone i like runs"
Democrats REFUSE to go against their own kind, even when CITIES ARE BURNING DOWN and they still walk around saying "defund police". And the ones who disagree would NEVER EVER EVER speak up PUBICLLY.
If Democrats ACTUALLLY spoke up, we would NOT be in this problem AND THERE IS NO QUESTION we would be more united.
i will NEVER "unite" with a human being who wants to show porn to children, tell children they can changes sexes, give children drugs to make them "feel" happy, mutilate children's genitals, and the whole "you can kill a baby even on the DAY the baby is, or is going to be, born.
As a former Democrat and now a Constitutionalist, we always did have so much in common. We allowed the divide and conquer tactic to split us. It's to keep our focus off of them and their bs.
@@NLanigan1 Precisely this ! If the people stop 'Allowing' , then ALL of their control will simply disappear..... Stop 'Allowing' !!

This was just full of empty rhetoric from political incoherents who have always and will always be pro whatever Reactionary BS policy in vogue at the time.
If they can't reject "Tax Cuts and deregulation" as the only answer to economic questions, I'm sorry that's a non starter. As is their comfortable nature in regards to all the out and out bigots in their ranks.
You cannot claim to be the grassroots opposition to oligarchy and entrenched corporate power and influence and then turn around and call increases in corporate tax rates the equivalent of serfdom or slavery or whatever BS line Orthodox American Conservative types since Goldwater has been selling to the cranks and credulous.

@@JulieRainyPDXyou do know everything you mentioned is going on with democrats right now.
Why don’t they EVER go complaining to their own state that they live at, if their lives and struggles is F ing them up?

That is exactly why they all need to shun trump. he has no respect for anyone including himself.

I have to say: great job interviewing the people. Everything balanced. We just want to support our families and live in peace.

@@DC-wk7yoNo, that's not what we mean. We also don't know what that means...if you know what i mean.

@@DC-wk7yo "You mean conversations where BIPOC voices are mostly excluded?"
Well that's because majority of these people are white. If you have agreeing opinion then what is the issue? Okay its fair to say "bipoc" had no voice in this. Its no different than not talking to the middle class or business owners. Making it about race is dumb. Don't pull that on me btw. I'm not white.
@@ha-kh7ef It's very different than not talking to business owners. If that interviewer was bipoc, those interviews would have not gone the same way. I suspect many of those people would not have talked to him at all. And myself being afab queer bipoc, being in that environment I would have feared for my physical safety. Do you think business owners would have had to fear for their physical safety at that convention? Is there a history of violence from the right against business owners?
And I'm not the one making it about race, They're the ones making it about race by having a convention filled with almost exclusively white people in a country that is much more diverse than that. They're the ones making it about race by acting like white is the default, like white is "normal," like white is invisible. I'm just calling them on it.
Great work. We must stand together as Americans.
👋Hi from Erie PA. Wish I could have made it but husband is very sick. People if at all normal just want to be left alone, make a good living, have a few bucks left over to enjoy a vacation and and family time. We don't need dictators trying to change our goodness of love of God and country to the evil they keep pushing on us. Trump 2024🇺🇲. Let's bring normal back.
The only reason this person was even able to interview these conservatives was because of his white privilege. Lots of us have to worry about even coming close to a convention like that for fear that we will be physically unsafe because of our race. Don't get us this we must stand together as Americans when the reality of living in this country very so much depending upon things other than just class, like race, disability and gender.
Great job talking with those people to get them to see another viewpoint !
Nice work. Divide and conquer is the game the billionaires are playing - Good on you for showing what we've got in common. We need more of this. Hope your work gets the attention it deserves!

Right.
You don't get yelling and insults from most Trump supporters. That type of action mostly comes from Trump haters that don't want to have an actual conversation about where facts lead. They don't want to hear any opinion that is different from their own. Those are brainwashed sheep that only watch mainstream corporate agenda filled media. It's much more informative to find real down to earth people searching for and showing us reality, like in the video we just watched.
@@heynowls3058 Yes, it is great to see people expressing what think and believe, the problem is the vote for the opposite. I don't know who is the worse.
You won't see this at a Democrat rally. If you dare to ask a dissenting question, you will shouted out.
I was interviewed by them at this rally. Real journalists, finally. We talked about economics, as it should be.. we may not see eye to everything, but they asked the right questions.. great bunch of guys
Think I recognize you from the video i agree with you and love the conversation you guys were able to have i wish we could all all Americans have these kind of conversations
Coming from a Democrat: I’m seeing that we have a lot of things in common, namely, as Americans instead of the shorn perspectives the media has relegated us to. It was also refreshing to see your perspectives and if we were at the table, I’m sure we could come up with better policies for the people than the current representatives we have in the State and Federal governments. This was a good video and some very decent and genuine people were interviewed.
@@karamelahi2808 I agree.
@@karamelahi2808coming from a fellow Democrat: we need to be more full-throated about our positions and our opposition. I'm sorry to be partisan about this, but facts are facts. Every, single, topic, brought up in this video, is a policy position that Democrats in Washington have been trying to enact for decades. Workers rights, minimum wage, reducing the military, and countless other issues that benefit working people. And those things haven't been passed, or they've been passed after being severely watered down (like Obamacare), because of relentless opposition by Republicans. Period, full stop
So I get the frustrations of everyday people who don't sit around listening to NPR all day, they just want to live their lives and raise their families and just have things work in America, but that's not the system we're in. The system we're in has roughly half of our Congress in the Republican party, representing way less than half of the population, completely obstructing any laws that would help people through things like the Senate filibuster, the Supreme Court, and things like shutting down the federal government to force policy negotiations
It's not a politicians problem, it's a Republican problem. We can't solve issues if we're not identifying accurately what's actually happening. I get that Trump voters are against the system as a whole, but it's strange to me that they find a home on the left with Bernie Sanders. Folks, there's not a lot of daylight between Bernie Sanders and Democrats. The only difference is he's in Vermont, he's old, and he doesn't give a f---, so he goes super far on his policy ideas. But, Joe Biden tried passing $6T in domestic spending last year with Build Back Better, and he was stonewalled by Republicans in Congress. Joe Biden used his power as president to cancel a large portion of student debt when Republicans in Congress refused to, and he was blocked by the Supreme Court
We have to agree on facts here. Everything these Trump rally goers want, is literally in the Democratic Party agenda. They just choose to, or have been convinced into, believe a narrative that doesn't allow that to be true for them. And that's a real, shame
@@BoozeandNewswithTimandDut everything I said to the other gentleman is meant for you to read too. The Democratic party _is_ the party for working class people. It's just that for some reason it is completely unpalatable for you guys to accept that. I still remember the interviews years ago of people loving the Affordable Care Act, but hating Obamacare...... when they were talking about the same, exact, thing. Politicians aren't the problem, Republicans are the problem
But god, damn, they are good at political messaging smh 🤦🏾
OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED and GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. Citizens United has such an appealing name BUT has devastating results in the political process. Corporations bribe our politicians to pass laws that are advantageous for them and harm the average wage earner. SUPPORT UNIONS!!
If this type of conversation could be had without all the noise and division our country might have a fighting chance at a decent and honorable future.
I hope you are right brother. We all need to come together. This administration is doing everything to divide us. They want us to be divided on race, religion and everything. It's just pure evil what they are doing.

Great video showing the real people and common threads that will help bridge this huge divide among the citizens that has been purposefully and dangerously crafted.

It’s obviously nothing we want.. but sure won’t get caught with our pants down..
I wouldn't be so sure. We're quite at the boiling point. People said the Roman Empire wouldn't fall
The Left has made threats of a Civil War if Trump gets elected. The Left is far more threatening and dangerous than the Right has been accused of being, therefore; I can imagine a Civil War initiated by the Left if they don't get their way on Election day.
This just made my day. We have to find common ground and work together if we want meaningful change. Thanks for sharing this 🙏
We The People should not be just a mantra or an ideal, but a reality of our nation's force.
I find this to be a breath of fresh air! I always believed that conservative working-class people and liberal working-class people had a lot in common economic wise. We really should unite to fight against the oligarchy.
How? Supporting a crooked orange billionaire? Isn't he part of the oligarchy too? LOL! The ignorance is mindblowing.
People are people. the party you choose aliegence to should not be any different than ordering a coke instead of a pepsi(ive never herd of more riots or deaths related to choices than politics and the lies politiances use to get jnto power and attempt to stay there). yet politicians for years and years have used manipulation tactics (more prominant on one side than the other...)and it has lead to ingrained beliefs in scripture that has not been updated to modern times/life along with the aide of fear of "loosing your freedom" speech.
appart from fear mongering, the things that hurt most the US is the stone age constitution and prehistoric belifs in the bible. you cant live your life by following outdated scripture subject to interpretation and manipulation of its meaning because theire so old, alot just dosent apply anymore so people start to mold and bend it to their will.
get rid of these 2 mentalities(and of course the good ol crontrol by fear), and soon you will have 1 nation living together instead of a society that prefers shooting their neighbors before tending a helpful hand....

( this is 3rd world chit.. sorry 3rd world countries to be compared to the USA...)
I'm glad I'm not an USA citizen...the shame and disgust would be unbearable...perhapse that's why people choose violence: they feel cornerd by conspiracy theories created by manipulators for revenue and power. but the thing is: people choose to believe in the weirdest of things and frkm the looks of it they like to hate so the stranger and more deranged/violent/crazy/insane the lie is the more they want to belive it. their opressor very well knows this and hides in sheep's clothing to continue to drain them dry of their livelyhood.
They are too busy flinging shit at each other to to realize they need to work together to get our country out of the sewer. This is where I find myself siding with Trump in our government. He is far from perfect but he really does want to make America into a country that anyone with some work ethic can make something from their lives. I feel like he is more genuine when I see him trying to help those on Medicare, & or the veterans that fought for this country. Like you can tell it pisses him off that our veterans are not getting the help they need. He totally did something about it. He is worth Billions he does not need to work or to take the time to make our country great. He was worth Billions before starting into politics and not as a result of a life of politics like Joe Biden. These reasons ae something I can get behind. I do not think he is perfect but the fact is 330 plus Million People to please of all classes of people & No one person is going to be perfect. But he is by far the lesser of the two Evils. I say God Bless Trump for trying to save our democracy. China Owns our Media and a very Large Percent of our politicians including the Biden's. But not just the Dems. Trump is more in tune with the people. Most that hate him do so because of the Russia, Russia, Russia lie and the fact the media has told them to many lies. That and his mean tweets but lets be real why would he not be mean to the Media? It has been Proven they spread lies about him from day one. Now they are just too damn proud to swallow their pride and say they was fooled.
He has been attacked since day one because he is not a politician and he does not need any favors from them or the corrupt Lobbyist and they are afraid he would stop the War Machine and try to balance the corrupt budget in this country! That simple!
Fox News doesn't want that!!
Regular folks, regardless of which political side they are on, have way more in common than they think they do. Sadly, we've seemingly lost the capacity to have a rational conversation like this most of the time. And it's not just "mainstream media" it's social media, and wall street and all the big corporations who just want to hold onto their power and especially their money.

Wow finally a Democrat that gets it not just leave the conversation
@@brandongonzalez7870 Don't mistake me... what I appreciate here are a few things. Specifically of the interviewees: their sincerity. How they said what they needed to say came from a place genuine to their personality. Coherence... they were direct, to the point and still able to add a bit of themselves into their reasoning, their experiences. Their willingness to not follow blindly to a figure head... it seemed to me that these people were more interested in results that stay true to the American system of democracy.
And for the interviewer... I like that his main agenda was to present conservative talking points in a more palatable way to liberals.
Honest to God I'm just tired of the division. The vibe that I see on network news of us v them. There are plenty... plenty of Democrats past and present who I thoroughly despise for their reckless treatment of American policy and disregard for the lives that call the US home.
I won't abide another Trump term... the idea of it is vulgar and repugnant.
...But uh lol... I'm not to enthusiastic about a half dead guy mumbling into a microphone either...
All I really want out of Washington is protection, compassion and impartial justice... let the people live their lives... and let the government protect our way of life.

And yet they have no parties to vote for.
Maybe one day conservatives will stop demonising socialists.
I agree with you
Well most of the people in this video sound like leftists.

This is what we need to see and hear! People rise up together against corporate greed!!!
Trump is not the solution, Marianne Williamson is. She's better than Bernie.
…and no purple hair
It’s more political greed. Corporations bribe politicians aka lobbying so they can pass laws that favor them. The longer politicians stay in power, corporations gain more power. We need term limits for congress. Of course congress will never pass it because it limits their personal power
Corporate Greed…it’s TRUMP he sits on a golden toilet
@@watamatafoyu No career politician is the answer! My money is on the businessman who loves his tax bracket and bank account as much as he loves America.
These are the conversations we need to see to bring people back together. It's easy to punch down at Trump's supporters and assume they're all racists and idiots, this right here is the actual track to mending the country. You're doing good work
Or at Biden supporters. Most political comments get me angry, people do not know how to hold a decent conversation anymore.
The only disheartening thing is the fact that the same 5-6 people were interviewed because these (intelligent,thoughtful) people are the exception not the rule.
Social media and corporate news both thrive off the discord and keep stoking and fanning the fire
the problem is, most of these people still believe Trump won the election and he's the ultimate solution to all the countries problems.
And of course the same with people on the right punching down at people on the left, often infused with calling them commies as they've bought into Red Scare tactics wholesale.
I've said for a long time the establishment (including Trump) don't want us to realize we have a lot more in common with each other than they want us to know. We don't agree on a lot of the culture issues and that doesn't cost the people at the top any money so they spin that up to get us arguing with each other and not voting for people who aren't corrupt.
It’s not about left or right. It’s about simply being an American!
Which all means Leftist friends think is a racist trash hole, I disagree, Americans are the least racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic people I have ever encountered and I have actual traveled our big beautiful globe.
It is not about Left or Right. It is a spiritual war. Good vs Evil. Make sure you on the right side of history. Trump 2024 !!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️. Freedom Rules

Awesome interviews highlighting these people's cognitive dissonance
This is so well done. My compliments. Real conversations without trying to make people look like loonies like so many programs do. Thank you
I mean it helps that he’s not asking them about the loony stuff, but of course there’s more reasonable people at these rallies as well as the crazies
I don't think you have to try to make some people look crazy. They just are. Of course, you can choose who you try to interview and what you want to air, but there's definitely no shortage of crazy.
They make themselves look like fools just the same
@@corvacopia the AT&T lady aint part of crazies? And her companion? Could have fooled me
They’re simple-minded. To some people, it’s their naive way that makes them look “crazy.” They’re just trying to make a living and do the best they can. Not everyone has access to a degree, travel, and experiences of wealth.
This is the best take I've seen on these Rallies. There is working class people on both sides and we need to unite them
Then these right wing lunatics need to stop taking the bait on the culture and race wars and start the class war. Anything else is a distraction to divert attention from the top 0.01%.
Wow! I agree
that's a hard task convincing cult members, who have fallen too deep in the rabbit hole.
It's not going to happen. The Republicans have their base brain washed into thinking that the Democrats want to abort babies after they've been born and take everyone's guns away. As long as those 2 talking points exist, and the right wing media continues to get away with lying to the American people, the working class is screwed.
@@Dapper_Deanoh that ought to do it 🤪
We need more of this. I hate that the media split us up into groups. We can have differences, but we are all Americans!
It's not just the media Trump encourages his people to attack those who disagree with him. He did it throughout the 2016 run, his presidency and today.
Amen brother
💯% Correct and BINGO!
I concur with you fully. Well said my friend!! 🙏
Honestly, with some of the things that the far left does, I'd question whether they're American or not. Majority of the left clearly loves seeing our country fail. When Trump won in 2016, far left liberals were literally hoping that he was a failure in office, they were hoping and itching for him to do terrible. When Biden "won" in 2020, I looked at my wife and said "well, I hope he at least does a good job, and doesn't ruin the country." But, he is ruining the country. Look at the economy, or border, for example.
Hell yeah, man. The freedom to disagree on things and still live together peacefully is something that we're all supposed to stand for, regardless of whatever side we're on.
Right now is not about political it’s about save 🇺🇸
Thanks for this. So nice to see open dialogue, instead of blame and hate.
😂😂😂😂
It's an echochamber of people not parroting the usual right wing propaganda
Now put then in a room with someone who has a different opinion and let's see their true colours shine
Just like on Jan 6
Gaslighting, aka Grooming. Accusation in a mirror (AiM), mirror politics, mirror propaganda, mirror image propaganda, or mirror argument is a hate-speech incitement technique where one falsely attributes to one's adversaries the intentions that one has for oneself and/or the actions that one is in the process of enacting.
During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, accusation in a mirror was used by the Hutus, along with other propaganda techniques, to incite the genocide in 1999.
"A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion* while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
*The fallacy of begging the question occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it.* In other words, you assume without proof the stand/position, or a significant part of the stand, that is in question. Begging the question is also called arguing in a circle.
*Argument from incredulity* also known as argument from personal incredulity, *appeal to common sense* or the *_Divine fallacy_* (that is, pretending to be Omniscient, and infallible) is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine, as if your beliefs have any empirical or tangible values
*The Gish gallop /ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/ is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality.*
*Bullshivic: (Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), someone who gains political power by appealing to people's emotion's instincts, & prejudices in a way that is considered manipulative & myopic; someone who incessantly reiterates the same petty complaints, until they are taken seriously.*
There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some *Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance".*
*Gaslighting is a psychological term used to describe* the process of *grooming* someone into believing that they are losing it or going crazy. *Gaslighting a child is perhaps the most egregious form of child abuse.*
Gaslighting is a common form of emotional/psychological abuse and can be used as a tactic in *grooming* children for abuse. The term comes from Gaslight (1944) a movie where the technique is used by the characters. *Gaslighting is sometimes also called “crazy making”.*
*In the context of child sexual abuse (CSA) the **_gaslighting_** is often used to convince the victim all the abusive behaviours are fine, normal and an expression of “love”. It is used to ensure the victim doesn’t speak out about it and doesn’t fight back. It can also be used in concert with other **_grooming_** tactics like fear and isolation.*
*Trivializing:* *The victim’s feels are made to feel like they don’t matter, are **_unfounded_** or they are weak for thinking so.*
*Countering: This is quintessential gaslighting.* *They **_directly counter the memories and perceptions of the victim._*
*Repetitive Questions: The abusive partner makes the victim doubt what they think or feel by asking the same question multiple times.* Questions are asked so many times the victim doubts their own answers.
*Diverting: The abuser diverts the subject and puts the blame into outside circumstances.*
"What Others Say"
The abuser tells the victim what other people "think" about the victim, the abuser and/or the situation on whole. Also known as an appeal to populism, the basis of Authoritarian Communism, and Cults; "if many believe it then it must be true" (regardless whether people actually agree with the position or not). Bolshevism itself means "the Majority" and is no different to Fascist appeals to a "silent majority" when in truth they account for a mere 13%, equitable to ADD rates of 16%
All these tactics are employed to make a False Claim Fallacy: the *reliance of a premise on prior unsupported or unstated assumptions that turn out to be false*
A false assumption occurs whenever the truth of a premise depends on some necessary condition which is merely stipulated or *assumed to be present when it is not in fact present at all*
In other words, this fallacy assumes that _*whatever it takes to make a premise true is already there, even if it is really absent or unknown.*_. It's a slight of hand, a trick, by burying the lead in the opening assertion they push past the point of contention trying to get you to argue a case they never made in the first place.
An example being
"when did you stop beating your wife?"
Also called a loaded question, or catch 22.
They then pretend to declare victory, knowing full well their crimes because only a guilty party needs to lie, let alone how to weaponise gaslighting for use in psychological warfare. And yet all right wing agents use the same scripts, parrot the same soundbites, and use the same logical fallacies; they all gaslight, despite claims of "independent thought" and their constant virtue signalling about identity politics. They also like to take a red herring and pretend it represents their opposition, Crowder and Walsh being big fans of this ambush/ guerilla politics.
This is their entire toolkit: Reverse Psychology, and Psychological warfare, the opposite of diversity is Authoritarian Communism, the opposite of Democracy is Dictatorship, Pro Life is Anti Freedom, Pro Second Amendment skips the first and more important freedom of self determination, probably the core reason for targeting Trans people.
We know for a Fact they exploit data mining and bot armies to boost their content that targets those most susceptible to groupthink and suggestion, esp those with ADD and ODD, always seeking to create "reasonable doubt" using focus groups and linguistic engineering, changing the meaning of words and constantly reframing the argument until ignorance is a virtue, and they only take their opinions from the Party above all else. It was Perfected in Palestine, and exported to the West via groups like Psy Group, BlackCube, Gatestone, the Federalist Society, and the _"International Democratic Union"_ a global right wing Thinktank.
Republicans _are_ America's Authoritarian Communists, America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitution, just like China, Iran, N Korea, and the USSR.
All of which have _less_ inequality.
Patriotism and Communism are synonyms, they just Orwelled us into believing we were "Capitalists" when in truth Republican Policies have always been about the redistribution of wealth, to the top .01%
_"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."_
George Orwell, 1984
This isn't good enough. Trump doesn't fight for them, he only says what they wanna hear to get elected. He's proven that multiple times. Marianne Williamson on the other hand has been fighting for the middle-class and poor for decades. Trump is in his own rich guy bubble.
Enjoyed this - I'm an independent. What a refreshing, considerate conversation among people who actually share the same opinions yet in different political parties. Let's organize!
MAGA is the party of independents and they are plenty organized
The problem is that both major parties are right wing, they ignore the people and the services thay need to provide to people. America has been stuck on this for 50 years. It began with Reagan, all you have had since then is Reaganomics, more guns and tanks, religious extremism, destruction of wages. Some real changes need to be made. The powerful mega churches and corporations influence policy in the USA. Does anyone ever study the systems in Europe such as Scandinavia?
multiple conservative pundits with their millions of followers still want to see me hung from a streetlamp for being gay, so no, fuck being considerate.
Just curious; what do you mean by “let’s organize”? Around a specific issue? To back specific politicians? To back specific policies?
Have to get the MARXIST DEMOCRATS out of our government. They are the dividers and it started with Obama who promised he would fundamentally change America. Now we're there.
Thank you! This was beautiful to see!
I have always loved seeing like Jordan Klepper going to a rally and using their words against themselves, but this?
THIS was extremely eye-opening and it has helped to ignite a spark of hope! Loved every person interviewed here!
THANK YOU.
More Perfect Union's doing a great job for the people and the country. Over on Status Coup, Jordan Chariton and his team do it like this, too. Production isn't as polished but they've been getting out on the ground for a long time: Trump rallies And unionization efforts all around the country. Check'em out. They also cover environmental stuff like Flint (still going on), East Palestine (still going on), pipelines......
Hope? People being fooled into voting against their own best interest is the exact opposite of hope for me. Do they seriously think an egotistical narcissist billionaire has their best interest in mind? You'd have to be ignorant beyond belief!
Jordan klepper has his own spin for his own gain it’s all bs we the people share most of the same values
Just one small problem. He didn't bring up the fact that Trump is a FCKN CRIMINAL. You can find skeletons in anyone's closet, especially politicians. But most aren't openly corrupt liars whose main concern is lining their pockets to the detriment of the country. None until Trump have openly violated the constitution to remain in power after a loss in an election. None have lied to the American people so casually and so many times, and for his personal benefit. None have tried so hard to divide the country with the sole aim to protect himself from the consequences of his actions. Trump would gladly end this democracy if it benefitted him. Now he is threatening a 'revenge tour' if re-elected. Talk of implementing what is called the Unitary Executive Theory. Basically, giving himself unlimited power, without and checks and balance, immune to the checks and balances of Congressional oversight, the courts, or the will of the people. Last world leader who tried to implement a similar policy was Mussolini.
What Trump wants is fascism, with him as Il Duce.
Trump has committed so many crimes since 2016, it's hard to keep track of them. Why didn't the interviewer bring up the fact that during any of these interviews? Why didn't he mention the fact that Trump was incompetent, an arrogant national disgrace, and continually made racist statements? The economy was better under Trump? Yeah, maybe a little, but the reason wasn't because of his savvy fiscal policies. It was because he gave corporations a HUGE tax break, one that for a while artificially propped up the economy. But it was temporary, and when the tax bill came due, the shortfall created by Trump's brain-dead policies caused inflation to be much worse than it otherwise would've been. Inflation that was at least partly caused by Trump's total bungling of the COVID pandemic. Obama left Trump a step-by-step pandemic playbook, a list of things that needed attention and a list of ways to curtail the negative economic effects a major health crisis would have on the US. What did Trump do with it? He threw it in the trash. Trump denied for six months there was even a problem, calling it like a serious case oof the flu. When the whole time he had gotten a trial version of the vaccine in late January. He lied for over six months about the seriousness of the COVID situation, THEN he tried to take credit for the vaccine.
Trump used his time as president to line his pockets. Between a 145$ million-dollar golf bill, most of which that went directly into Trump's pockets, to having visiting foreign dignitaries stay at one of his properties, that is of course if they wanted to get favorable treatment from him. All those accommodations were at inflated prices, which were then passed on to US taxpayers.
Things like diverting USAF flights away from their usual stopover location in the UK to a different location, specifically because there were no accommodations at that UK location for the flight crews, knowing they would have to stay at a nearby Trump property, which he gladly provided for, again an inflated price that, again US taxpayers paid for. The list of ways Trump scammed the US taxpayer is almost as long as the list of crimes he committed.
Biden is far from perfect. But Trump is a walking national security threat, a global embarrassment, a grifter, liar and racist, not to mention totally incompetent...and a CRIMINAL.
@@michaelthomas229 It's all bs? So are you saying Klepper paid those people to dress up like it's Halloween and say all the ridiculous sh## that comes out of their mouths?
Trump is completely losing it. He can't open his mouth without a lie, and completely unhinged. More so than ever.
I wish all of the working class Americans would unite! The partisan politics is SCREWING us over! I agree that the War on terrorism was a waste of lives and resources for the American people!
Question:
Did you feel that way the previous twenty years? At the time?
Also... What was your personal response to the information widely available in media at the time that showed what a quagmire Iraq and the general approach to the Middle East and the issues of Islamic Terrorism? You know... All the folks that at the time said it was a bad idea and told us what the outcomes would be? What was your reaction to the slander and social abuse bandied about towards critics of Bush and the push for war in Iraq at the time? Did you notice said slander came from one side of the spectrum?
Because if you didn't notice all that then when it was no less obvious than today I have to look askance at your opinions on just about everything else, considering so much of the rationale for invasion we're supposedly based upon Conservative, Evangelical, and yes despite all their claims to the contrary, even Libertarian principles.
It's like, does it matter all the supposed "Centrists/Conservatives" who are against that invasion and the general execution of the "War On Terror" now? Currently that means two things... Jack and shit.
Oh... And Jack left town.
So... With such a spectacular, if only now admitted disaster that can and should be laid at the feet of so many of our fellow citizens who wouldn't or couldn't see the obvious lies and corruption then of Bush and Cheney but are now flogging Trump... Why should anyone listen to folks that have such egregious judgement?
Cuz... Me and mine? We saw through the GOP/Bush BS from the start.
The
Same
With
Trump.
It ain't both sides.
It's that too many of us believe the side telling us it's both sides. And I'm not sorry I'm not one of those people.
IF PEOPLE WOULD EVEN JUST GO EXEMPT ON THE ILLEGAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL DIRECT TAXATION (direct taxes) till tax season… shoot at that point it would be done, or they would print more, showing the people how little they are valued by how much they have already devalued are (also unconstitutional) FIAT USD, and have zero concern to continue printing and devaluing… OUR MONEY IS LITERALLY WHAT MAKES THEIR TREASONOUS TYRANNICAL CORRUPT ACTS POSSIBLE. WE GIVE THEM THE POWER, AND WE NEED TO TAKE IT BACK. They know we are the power and that’s why they push separatism on us all…
@@miguelvelez7221indeed. I totally agree, i was even thinking that these indictments against trump are just a way to push for more donations and break the american peoples pocket books even further. I SAY FUHK EM ALL! If people just desired ONLY Gods Law of L❤️🔥V🪽 and all that’s good right and true which follows such actions, could you imagine how we would ALL THRIVE… selfishness and greed have lead to the corruption of the most wonderful country in the world. ITS FUHKING SAD, ITS RIDICULOUS AND PUTTING OUR TRUST IN HUMANS PERIOD IS STUPID FOR THE MOST PART…. we don’t know these lost souls, but we know they are lost, that’s a given… most people are…. to blindly trust as so many do, especially with the history of the the world…. i mean seriously… NO TAINTED RELIGIONS WITH MAN MADE LAWS, ONLY TRUST AND FAITH IN THE LAW OF LOVE THAT IS GOD.
at least that’s my opinion… so many problems, one true solution.
The problem is that who is the working class? Union and non-union workers feel very different on most issues, white-collar and blue-collar can't relate to each other.
The war on terror was Republican Bush war. Partisan ship is caused by Republicans. Democrats propose the bills to raise your wages, clean your water, build roads and houses - but your Republican party votes against every good bill.
Love to see our American friends awaken. Thank you Jesus. Love from Canada.
Hopefully Trump will sell out Canada to Russia, as they're in NATO and don't pay their bills.

This was refreshing to see people having significant conversations without judging each other. Thank you, I needed this.
We’re all human, and instinct is to jump to protect the things dearest to us - guns, minorities rights, abortion, religion. It’s easy to become reactive, and miss out on the chance to communicate.
Oh don't get too happy, these idiots are still voting for a fascist who tried to overturn a democratic election. I ain't having a "conversation" with anyone about that. That conversation is gonna take place in front of a judge and jury.
Talking to a MAGAZINE. q is no different then talking to a fence . These folks are in a cult of hate .
Conservatives couldn't have made it more clear what they want to protect: Jesus, babies, guns. Jesus, babies, guns, straightness, and children. We have to show them that they can have their Jesus, babies, and guns as long as it doesn't affect us. Respect the things they love, but show them how those issues are hurting us. Show them that we have different and/or competing needs and ask them to give us space. We have to get the messaging right or it will always be about the libs coming after your Jesus, babies, and guns. Of course there are contradictions and conflicts between the needs of different people, but we have to make sure those conflicts aren't overstated and exploited.
I will never be not reactive. See, this really fun thing happened when I was an eleven year-old child: I had a pedophile rape me and I needed an abortion to save my life.
The GOP is not only worshipping a rapist, but also killing women by removing or complicating our healthcare.
They don't deserve my patience, my empathy, and certainly not any kindness.
This only happens at trump rallys and other right wind events. Try this at a liberal event, you will get your face smashed in to pulpy bits. Go ahead, try it.
Real people with common sense.
If you’ve been in the army, or worked as some kind of contractor for the government,you’ll understand how terrifying it is that the people on top have us pitted against each other. While brother turns on brother, a shadow at the top reaps the wealth while we growl and snarl at each other. We should be united to right the wrongs and move forward together. With differences , but without divide.
My wife is active duty Army. She makes $6k a month and only brings home $2k. "Support our troops" right?
You or someone with your smart and positive mentality should run for President. If only, we could get so lucky to have someone sane and not self centered and really for the people and sharing this important message you wrote. 💞✌️🍀⚜️🌞

People who are willing to have a genuine conversation... Thank you for this. It gives me some hope for the US. I'm over on the left (eg. universal basic income, pro-choice, social programs, workers' rights, anti-billionaire, better gun laws, ecocentric stewardship, anti-corporation, immigration that is simplified and expedited, separation of church and state), but I can respect and appreciate everything they were saying, and agree with most of it. The one thing that has me unbearably perplexed is: Why do they think Trump is the answer? It's like they're loving parents who, understandably, don't trust the local babysitter, so they leave the kids with a wolverine. I'm Canadian, but the upcoming US election is causing me more stress than I've ever experienced with politics at home.
typical woman this is why you shouldnt vote
Excellent video. I am a leftist who spent several years with a weekly Peace vigil in a conservative part of the country. Most of the people who stopped to talk with us were self described conservatives. It was always about having the conversations. We did most of the listening, and we found that we were very much on the same page when it came to government spending, especially on war. We Americans have far more in common than our differences. Most of what the people interviewed in this video said is very much how I see things.
Please for the love of God stop voting for these Democrat communists.
All this division and the super-contentious nature of it have been fomented by billionaire-backed politicians who see having us at each others' throats as a way to increase and maintain their own power and wealth.
How 'bout if we insist government agencies at all levels (Local, County, State, and Federal) live within a balanced budget, eliminating 'deficit spending', eh? You and I have to 'live within our means', so shouldn't our government be required to do the same? Nor should our government be permitted to 'kick the can down the road', eh? How 'bout NO 'lifetime politicians / career politicians'? Term limits and moderate salary caps for ALL positions, eh? NO politician should be getting rich from becoming an elected / appointed official, right?
You got my vote!@@ModernGolfer
