It's very easy to have a real problem with the left and the right of today.

The difference is in the policies that have created the feeling and the fact, that things have gotten worse and almost entirely because of the lack of real conservatism from the right and so-called conservatives in office for the last 40 years.

However, any video showing us how and why rhetoric and demagoguery works, merely serves as primer for the next demagogue to try it and means nothing truly probative and is otherwise no more than just another version of spin.

OK, so maybe this is how Trump got elected but as likely proves that and what many (conservatives) friends keep telling me, 95% of those who listen and vote on that...are fucking morons and why ? For believing it and need to so badly, they'll put up with a shallow, narcissistic, autocrat-loving impostor as Trump is proving himself to be, and merely to continue as long as they can to feel good about their choice.

So RO feels good about his choice...still.

Maybe this points out that there is no real left and that doesn't matter for the moderate or independent. What matters is policy and if one looks back, Trump said he would run, if he did, as a republican...because they are the dumbest of all voters almost always voting against their own interest.

Gonna share the "it could be" portion, although as a liberal, I totally agree with his takedown of both liberals and conservatives.

Most of the reasons he gives in that video for America being crap are due to the fact that America doesn't actually have a true left.
