I haven't watched the video yet, but a note on the sub-heading "Why millions of Americans vote against their own interest". This claim presumes that the author knows what 'Americans interests' are. This is a common cognitive fallacy: I have certain interests, and other people surely have the same, or similar, interests to me. This is plainly wrong. There are people who think differently, people who put patriotism above financial gain, put traditional culture above progressive change, put national military strength above social benefits. I am not one of those people, but clearly many people share those values, and those values represent their interests. The interests of the video author run counter to those of many other Americans. That is why they vote the way they do. It is not wrong, it is just different.
