Comments by "Chris Nilsson" (@GenerationX1984) on "Thom Hartmann Program" channel.

  1. I'm sandwiched between being Gen X and being a millennial and I love our young people. I've liked Gen Zers ever since they pulled that Robin Hood stunt that ticked off billionaires.
    441
  2. Yet another reason I didn't vote for Trump in early voting.
    382
  3. JD Vance is a sellout. He saw an opportunity for power and he took it over having integrity. Shame!
    227
  4. Nobody is talking about it because the billionaire owned media outlets never tell us what the billionaires are up to. We rely on folks like Thom to keep us up to speed.
    112
  5. I wonder why we were never taught this theory in high school. Haha! Nah! I don't wonder. An ignorant consumer class is easier to control.
    74
  6. Deregulation is just a euphemism for decriminalization.
    68
  7. I hope Trump sinks in the polls soon. I'm worried for my country.
    66
  8. Will these professors be surprised when their class size shrinks because both men and women realize that they don't grade fairly?
    63
  9. So many Americans think billionaires are no threat to Democracy. We tolerate them too much.
    52
  10. If a Trump supporter had to choose between watching something intelligent like Nova on PBS or WWE wrestling, which show would most of these boneheads choose? We all know it's not the smart show. I rest my case.
    51
  11. Most of our social problems today can be traced back to billionaires being petty and selfish. It's time to raise their taxes.
    49
  12. Or maybe organized religion appeals to authoritarians who like simple binary answers to nuanced questions.
    44
  13. As usual. Nobody wants to wake up and blame the billionaire-owned media for sowing these divisions and distractions.
    43
  14. Is this so that people can't say anything that hurts the fragile feelings of our dumbest, most inept politicians or the rich people they pander to? I'll say whatever I want.
    39
  15. Any society that trusts corporations more than scientists gets what it deserves. I know that sounds harsh but it's the truth.
    37
  16. People are done with democracy because most voters vote against their own economic interests. Most people don't understand the dangers of billionaires and monopolies.
    36
  17. I hate the leaders but I despise their sheep.
    33
  18. The French haven't forgotten what kinds of people the rich are. Americans, unfortunately, have.
    33
  19. Trump doesn't have an altruistic bone in his body. When dealing with Trump, the most relevant question is always: 'What will Trump gain by doing/saying this?'
    31
  20. What do Republicans have to say about this subject? I just hear crickets.
    31
  21. Somebody needs to retaliate against the police. I mean the punishing whole department. Not just the murderers.
    29
  22. We need really strict anti-monopoly laws. If a company becomes too rich and powerful and starts merging with other companies. It should be broken up into no less than 10,000 smaller companies. Let's see the giant corporation try to pick up that many pieces of its former self.
    26
  23. Let's hope the National Guard meets them first.
    26
  24. I hope not. I left religion for a reason. Supernatural claims written in ancient books belong in the mythology section at the library. I can't bring myself to believe that crap!
    25
  25. Just make Atlanta so liberal that the rural conservative counties in Georgia are disenfranchised.
    24
  26. DeSantis' abortion story begins with: 'Once upon a time...'
    24
  27. Most Americans can't get this through their skulls. If they could the polls wouldn't be this close. Educating the public about Project 2025 needs to be our top priority.
    23
  28. True. People think I'm exaggerating when I say we're becoming third world. When people want to move out of a crappy apartment and into a house but can't because home prices are ridiculous and increasing price of rent is holding them down and they're worried about becoming homeless if they try to buy anything that isn't a basic necessity, those are third world conditions. Unfortunately retired and soon to be retired people don't care much about the current deterioration of the middle class because they got what they wanted.
    22
  29. Zero would be my guess. I'm not optimistic.
    19
  30. Large businessmen love Libertarianism as it lifts all the laws and regulations that keep them in check.
    18
  31. And laid people off at Twitter after buying it. The irony of Republicans calling him a job creator.
    18
  32. I hate the human species so much knowing how easily people fall for stupid nonsense.
    18
  33. I can imagine parents raising a stink about it. Especially deeply religious parents who don't want their kids thinking critically about the religion they want them to follow.
    17
  34. Joining forces? Now THAT's scary.
    17
  35. You can always eat your enemies. Cannibalism is an option but most people don't choose it even when they're starving.
    17
  36. Religion also alters how the brain works and turns people in fundamentalists and religious extremists. Lori Vallow Daybell is a good example of a religious extremist.
    17
  37. In this economy, you are either homeless or renting a room from a family member. The American Dream of owning a home is gone for one third of the population.
    17
  38. ​ @practicaliching2311 Trickle down assumes that rich people aren't evil and won't use their money to build monopolies and buy back stocks in their companies.
    16
  39. The parental rights arguments are so stupid. Most parents are idiots even if they mean well.
    16
  40. If Jesus Christ was compassionate, wouldn't seeing compassion as a weakness require lots of hypocrisy and irony and the part of Christian conservatives who think it's a weakness??? That level of hypocrisy bugs the crap outta me! If I met a conservative who thought compassion was a weakness I'd come out and say it, "Are you saying Jesus Christ the compassionate was weak? Is that what you're saying? You think our Lord and Savior is a sissy? That's blasphemy!" Then I'd wait for their reply. I'm pretty sure there would be a long pause because they wouldn't even know what to say to that. That's kind of a gotcha reply to them.
    14
  41. Almost all transphobic people are regular churchgoers. Religion is at the root of this problem. 'Love thy neighbor' seems to be ignored by too many people who call themselves Christians.
    14
  42. "Hitler ran gun clubs! Hitler ran gun clubs!" Way to shoot down a delusion argument, Thom! Kudos! 👍
    14
  43. Psychopaths don't think that way.
    13
  44. He didn't pay them enough. He's too cheap.
    12
  45. The caller says exactly what I think. These stupid social issues and hot button issues are just a distraction for the most part. It's like a mugging where one mugger distracts you while the other mugger takes your wallet.
    12
  46. I personally hope Trump makes a pig noise and flaps his hands like a crazy guy! That's how I hope he'll react to being indicted. Then I hope he gets depressed enough to finally shut up. But I won't hold my breath. Getting Trump to be quiet is impossible.
    11
  47. ​ @TheresaReichley Exactly. Plus tent cities don't have electricity. How are they gonna plug the fridge in?
    11
  48. Speaking of censorship, YouTube's algorithm just deleted my comment suggesting we start going harder against far right religious groups.
    11
  49. Unfortunately businesses are so greedy that the threat of litigation is the only thing keeping them from destroying everything. Sue the crap outta them, I say! Make them an example.
    11
  50. The man has failed upwards his entire life.
    10
  51. Wealthy people who fund book bans should have their wealth confiscated.
    10
  52. The best traps are the ones that are set to go off in the future. People don't see such calamity coming. The same lack of foresight applies to climate change. It happens slowly and won't get us until it's too late.

  53. ​ @djangomarine6658 Mass stabbings don't kill nearly as many people as mass shootings. Why would anybody compare a knife to the efficiency of a gun?
    9
  54. And the Trumpers are none the wiser. Trumper: "Trump helped the working class." 🤪
    9
  55. True. Most Trump supporters think WWE wrestling is good. They probably remember when Trump showed up to a fighting match that one time and that's another reason they love him. These are not teenagers. These are grown adults who think WWE is quality TV programming. Just sad. Kids in adult bodies.
    9
  56. Why the media won't talk about this.
    9
  57. How to win an argument against a Republican. Tell them we are energy independent or would be if we didn't allow oil companies to export a third of our oil and gas. Then make fun of deregulation and the free market to make them mad.
    8
  58. The last time that happened the French rose up against the rich. As seen in Les Miserables.
    8
  59. 4:00 Honestly, the first ads to be banned should be those terrible prescription drug commercials that come on all the time. The U.S. and New Zealand are the only developed countries where prescription drug advertising is legal.
    8
  60. Ironically in many European nations almost everything is closed on Sundays even though they're less religious in Europe and rarely attend church services.
    8
  61. And the news media doesn't cover this scandal very often because they're paid not to.
    8
  62. It's interesting how quickly conditions in France improved after the French Revolution. 🇫🇷 Let's try something similar in America. 🇺🇲
    8
  63. They're like kids who think divorce is bad no matter what. They haven't developed adult reasoning skills yet. Divorce is good if you're stuck in a crappy marriage with someone who constantly argues with you about money or whatever else. Do you really want to be married to someone who is abusive or disagreeable all the time? Screw that!
    8
  64. They are deeply insecure and need money to fill an empty void in their life that will only be filled when they pass away.
    7
  65. The media ignored this? So much for the "liberal media". If the media was as liberal as conservatives believe it is they'd be all over this controversy.
    7
  66. Discussion I often have with conservatives goes something like this: 'The wealthy control our politics and our lives. We need reform.' Conservative: 'Nothing we can do about that. You seem jealous of rich people.' 'Even if I am, that's beside the point. We need change or else we'll go back to the Guilded Age.' Conservative: 'Guilded Age? What's that? You sound like a socialist.' 'Stop. Just stop. I can't talk to you anymore. You can't be reasoned with. You constantly go off topic with ad hominems. This is why we can't have nice things.' 🤦‍♂️
    7
  67. My dog has better skepticism and critical thinking skills than any Republican voter. If I say anything more my reply will be deleted for violating YouTube's strict community guidelines.
    7
  68. If consciousness is just cosmic energy that gives a whole new outlook on questions like life after death.
    7
  69. I don't care. Less Republican voters is a net positive.
    7
  70. Noah's Ark is a childish story. That's why endless coloring books and pop-up books feature it. 😄
    7
  71. ​ itzhexen0 I stopped putting as much into my 401k back in August. I knew the market was about to take a downturn. Plus I'm trying to save for a house because I'm tired of renting, but it's beginning to look like I'll be a renter forever since there is no affordable housing.
    6
  72. They think being stupid is a virtue. They might as well build statues paying tribute to Beavis and Butthead while they're at it!
    6
  73. Who puts an Alexa in the bathroom? The only electronic in my bathroom is my electric razor and sometimes my smartphone when I'm taking a dump.
    6
  74. People who think privitization is a good thing have clearly learned nothing from dystopian sci-fi movies like Robocop and Blade Runner? Privatizing social security is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.
    6
  75. Some books can even be read for free online. I'm sure they don't like The Communist Manifesto but it's impossible to ban when it can be read for free in your internet browser on a number of websites that have it posted. No download required.
    6
  76. No. They can still win. Trust me. I live in a red state.
    6
  77. A lot of Christians are just paranoid and terrified of death. They believe they are saved by grace and so they don't have to follow the teachings of their God. In fact, Catholics and Protestants used to fight over this. Most Protestants believed they were saved by grace alone as long as they believed in Christ and the Catholics thought that was incorrect and persecuted them over it. To this day most Protestants don't really follow the teachings of Jesus since they believe their belief alone saves them. The teachings of Jesus are just suggestions to them. Not even really edicts.

  78. Oil is not only the energy of the past but an engine for tyrants and despots. When big oil finally goes, it won't go without a fight. It'll go kicking and screaming.
    5
  79. We need to put a cap on how much rich people can spend out of pocket on their campaigns. George Carlin suggested we stop voting for extremely wealthy people altogether. I honestly agree. I don't think anyone should be voting for a billionaire.
    5
  80. As for C Suite Executives who "earn" the most, their job is to play golf even though they'll never be good enough to be on the pro tour. ⛳

  81. I preferred it when it was a dominion of Spain.

  82. Oh, burn! 🔥😂

  83. Otherwise we'll have to find internment camps to put greedy billionaires in.
    5
  84. I'm safe because my family has lived in America for generations. My great grandparents on multiple sides of my family were born here. I'm not worried about my family.

  85. ​ @feverflav1972 They're probably adults in the public library since they can't afford internet at home. Trying to hide the stiffies in their pants as they get up to go to the bathroom.
    5
  86. This kind of thing is the reason I finally decided to donate to a nonprofit called Americans United for Separation of Church of State. Enough is enough! MASA. Make America Secular Again
    5
  87. And why do they assume all drag people are gay? I know a straight guy who once did it for fun and to be funny at an event.
    5
  88. Computers in the 1980s were cool. I miss the old Macintoshes. The TI99a. The Commodore 64. Bring them back! 😢
    5
  89. I'm not wired to believe them.
    5
  90. Defeat Project 2025!
    5
  91. Cite your source(s). I could use a good laugh making fun of a bad source.
    5
  92. That sounds like a term they would have used more back in the 1800s when houses were typically constructed that way.
    5
  93. Take Boeing to court and make the trial as humiliating as Trump's trial.
    5
  94. Maybe you should consult a panel of scientists or physicists or structural engineers on that one instead of just believing that 9/11 conspiracy theorists are scientifically accurate in their thinking. Or just don't believe anything you read online. That works too.
    5
  95. And the home of the "brave" who are too cowardly to take on the big corporations.
    5
  96. They seem to care a lot if a rich person complains about a little hangnail. Poor guys.
    4
  97. So skeptics use more brainpower than non-skeptics. Might as well just make skepticism your default mode of thinking then.
    4
  98. Living paycheck to paycheck. I don't feel free at all.
    4
  99. Any cop who goes along with such nonsense should go to jail after a regime change. Why are most cops stooges who just do whatever they're told? I don't understand that.
    4
  100. Isaac Newton could have a been a secret atheist just to avoid getting burned at the stake. Galileo was vilified by the Catholic Church. The Church didn't admit Galileo was right until 1992. So it wasn't until the 1990s that the Vatican finally said, "Oh my goodness! The Earth really does revolve around the sun." 😂
    4
  101. Sugarcoating make me angry! I want the R-rated version of history and I want it NOW!!!!
    4
  102. And then blames them for being dumb enough to be fooled by him. He's secretly sickened by the gullibility of his own supporters.
    4
  103. He was probably talking about the neoliberals that Hartmann is against.
    4
  104. Here's where Republicans need to make cuts. 1) End welfare for corporations. 2) End tax cuts for the rich. Budget problem solved.
    4
  105. If they're gonna spy on you, you might as well google things you know might offend some of them. Google a personal insult to the CEO of Google.

  106.  @richardcrosby6682  In Trump's case religion was a political tool. No way in hell Trump suddenly became a religious man in 2016. That's a laugh!

  107. Exactly. I hope they get lawyers so mean that even the most fearless psychopaths start sweating.

  108.  @stewartciesla8142  Excuses, excuses. Billionaires are full of them. I don't believe any of Elon's reasons.

  109. 0:16 I'm moving to Denmark. I wish I could.

  110. The only people in mainstream media who sometimes lambaste the rich are late night comedians. That's about it!
    4
  111. No one showed up because that was Trump's worst fear made manifest.
    4
  112. It's things like this that make me think the U.S. should embrace isolationism. Tell other countries that they're on their own and we'll no longer aid them.

  113. If you think Greek mythology is violent and rapey check out the Old Testament.

  114. ​ @ProLaytonxPhoenix I think millennials will be senior citizens by the time it gets too bad but Gen Z is definitely screwed!

  115. If it does we'll have to go French Revolution on some oil executives and transition away from fossil fuels.

  116. I wish I could write a bill with an offensive title. The 'F$ck Greedy Billionaires' bill.

  117. Can we start calling the Secretary of Defense names? I dub him Captain A$$hole!

  118. No American has been there for 2 reasons, 1) Most of us can't afford a fancy pants trip overseas. Too expensive. 2) Even if we could, we wouldn't choose Slovenia.
    3
  119. Are the people who scapegoat Jews today descended from the same troglodytes we see in Ponty Python and the Holy Grail who try to drown "a witch" using the worst logic ever? I'm not asking this to be rude or a jerk. I'm genuinely curious.
    3
  120. Their own voters are the ones most likely to die of Covid. What are they thinking????
    3
  121. As an atheist, I disagree. Screw your religion, dude! Santa Claus for adults! Santa and God are both folklore passed on from parents to kids. Don't you see it? If it breaks your heart to hear this, throw your heart away and accept it.
    3
  122. Nowadays they don't even hire younger people much. I'm still ticked off about how hard it was to find a job after I graduated college in 2008. Not just because of the Great Recession but because the boomers kept b*tching and moaning about how they didn't want the better educated millennials taking their jobs.
    3
  123. Housing prices are ridiculous! Even in states where they used to be low.
    3
  124. Nope. This is not alarmism. It's all true! A Handmaid's Tale is coming. Look up Project 2025 and Project Blitz and then tell me I'm wrong!

  125. Trump wants high tariffs and sky high tariffs haven't been tried since Herbert Hoover. Those tariffs under Hoover caused the Great Depression Prepare for the Great Depression Part 2. You voted for it.

  126. If you're making less than 12 bucks an hour you're probably on welfare in most states.

  130. Have you seen the price of a plot of land? I tried to buy one cheap but they didn't even have the sewer line running to it. The sewer line ended up costing more than the property, so I opted out.

  131. You'd be surprised how many men change their minds when their mom shames them and grabs them by the ear. "Ow! But ma!" 😆

  137. As a person who lives in a red state, most Republican voters I know are too naive to know that the rich hate them and are exploiting them.
    3
  138. The reason Taylor Swift and the football player aren't Republicans is because Republicans have done a poor job of appealing to anybody under the age of 50. In fact Reaganomics screwed us over, so why would we vote for it? The only young people voting Republican are the ones who got brainwashed by their elders.
    3
  139. Neoliberals. The true socialists would never help the rich.

  140. Fighting AGAINST mean people is MORE powerful. That's what heroes do.

  141. Hillary was fiscally conservative. As was Bill Clinton when he was president. We need a president who actually WILL tax estates and tax the wealthy.

  142. Breads and circuses. Most Americans are distracted by their endless entertainment packages.

  145. Watch more debates on the subject. The pro-choice side always wins the debates. That's why abortion is legal in almost every developed country.

  146. The population problem is also a big reason why homes are overpriced.

  147. When liberals start loving Biden (which we don't) as much as MAGA loves Trump, feel free to call us a cult. We'll deserve it.

  148. Make restrictions against regular people but God forbid we should ever regulate giant corporations or the wealthy.

  153. The people who need to hear this the most will never escape their echo chambers long enough to listen.

  154. Despite what his family says about him. Yes. Psychopaths tend to show a different side of themselves to their families and close friends. They're also superficially charming so it's hard to detect them for what they actually are. Deep down he was a shallow man with no empathy who only cared about money.

  155. Just tell conservatives vaccines are for sissies and they'll unwittingly die from a preventable disease thinking they're tough enough to fight it off. There's some poetic justice in dying from your own hubris.

  156. Really? Where are the tent cities in the blue state of Vermont? I've been to red state Louisiana (one of the lowest income states where most people make trash wages) and seen them there. Have yet to see any huge tent cities in Vermont.

  157. I'm glad we can sue churches nowadays. They couldn't hundreds of years ago.

  158. The FBI is its own worst enemy. They supported the far right and now the far right hates them and right wing media keeps slamming them as corrupt for going after Trump. The irony.
    2
  159. High ignorance. They know nothing.
    2
  160. Add egocentric to the list. Man created god in his image. That's why God is never depicted in art as a squid. Always as a humanoid.
    2
  161. And killing jobs in the process. He laid off an astronomical number of Twitter employees. They want us to believe that rich people are such great job creators even though wealthy employers lay the most people off. How many people did Google lay off recently? Quite a few. In spite of the massive layoffs giant corporations have annually, we're supposed to believe they're the ones creating the most jobs. It's absurd! Anybody who believes the job creator myth has their head in the sand. Do they not pay attention?
    2
  162. We could just crack out the guillotines. It's gonna be hard for the rich to become more powerful if there are no more rich.
    2
  163. When Republicans say freedom they mean freedom for the wealthy to oppress the poor more than they already do. Freedom to impose their religious beliefs on you.
    2
  164. If it was as illegal to be a narcissist as it was to be a Jew in 1940 Germany then poverty would mostly vanish.
    2
  165. Christian fundies care about faith. Not evidence. Anything they believe is true if they believe. That's one of my biggest problems with religion and why I left my church. That and the hypocrisy. So no. They won't believe what their eyes tell them or look at the evidence as long as Trump continues to pander to them and give them what they want. No amount of proof matters to them.
    2
  166. They groomed us for the rise in wealth inequality when they kept repeating the mantra: "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer." Until we began to passively accept it as an inevitability. They've been manipulating us for decades.

  167. ​ @aerithgrowsflowers If the Republicans hate the rich pharmaceutical companies so much then why don't they believe in regulating and taxing them more? Republicans don't want to regulate or tax anybody except maybe the poor.

  169. Netanyahu is a far right piece of shit and Biden needs to call him what he is.

  170.  @NN-ul4oy  A conservative would shriek "Ree! Ree! You can't criticize capitalism! It is above criticism! Criticizing it makes you a socialist communist by default! Ree! Reeeeeeee!" That mindset needs to be mocked MORE or it will never go away.
    2
  171. They can't get passed with Republicans controlling half the Senate and Joe Manchin acting like a Republican. With Joe Machin in there it's like Republicans make up the majority since Joe Manchin is basically a conservative. Joe Manchin and Republican obstructionism the federal minimum wage will never increase. Vote blue in the midterms!

  172. Solar actually costs less now. People are buying solar panels for their house like crazy. Half my neighbors now have solar.

  173. True. The right doesn't like to hear this but Islamic countries are a good example of what a country ruled by right wingers looks like. Spot on!
    2
  174. Psychopaths don't have a conscience and Governor Abbot is one of them! One of those subhumans born without one. I really hate psychopaths. Don't know what we keep them around for.
    2
  175. The answer to this question is yes.
    2
  176. The double standard is annoying. Freeloading is OK if you're rich but if you're poor it's bad.
    2
  177. Yeah. Bill Clinton was 1992.
    2
  178. I hate humanity enough that I sympathize with SOME mass shooter. A large portion of humanity still loves Trump. Is the species even worth saving???
    2
  179. Unfortunately the wealthy have spread many, many myths. And few people bother to ask, "Who wants me to believe this and why?" They instead buy into the myths hook, line, and sinker!
    2
  180. Most people are easily manipulated and indoctrinated. Especially when they're living in abject poverty the way most Germans were when Hitler took power.
    2
  181. Oh, it was no coincidence that gas prices went up within months of Biden being inaugurated. That's just too uncanny to be coincidence. And Republicans believed that Biden could screw things up that fast! Their stupidity would be funny if it wasn' t sad.
    2
  182. ​ @kenwhitfield219 I make jokes and snarky remarks about their fears. I even sarcastically gasp when they tell me something "scary". This attitude of not taking them seriously seems to upset them. Lol!
    2
  183. Fox News. A bunch of overpaid wealthy windbags telling their mostly poor and middle class viewers what to think.
    2
  184. ​ @jb-vb8un why is that important? That's not gonna get rid of the Reagan tax cuts for rich people and help me buy a house. 😂
    2
  185. Like Mulder on The X-Files, they want to believe but are too intellectually lazy and emotionally immature to apply skepticism and critical thinking to their own beliefs and admit they might be wrong.
    2
  186. Isn't Alex Jones proof that you can be rich but still contribute absolutely nothing of worth to society? I think he is. Someone should point this out to people who think the wealthy are worth something more than their net worth.
    2
  187. I consider gullibility to be a genetic disorder. The sheep exist to be eaten/used by the wolves. The sheep are plentiful and they vote unfortunately.
    2
  188. And for that, I don't blame him. Their Gomer Pyle level naivety makes me ill as well.
    2
  189. How's trickle down economics working? Has the wealth Republicans promised you trickled down yet or did the billionaires you trust too much pocket it all! 😂
    2
  190. This is just deregulation on steroids. Bring back regulations. Bring back high taxes on the wealthy. Tax estates and large properties more.
    2
  191. Republicans need to create situations where more people are on food stamps so that they can then blame the poor for being "lazy". Scapegoating food stamp recipients is their favorite thing.
    2
  192. ​ @ronschafer4533 The most immoral people are the ones who can't change their minds. Dogma is immoral. Ironically dogs aren't the ones suffering from it.
    2
  193. The Congress has been full of Republican obstructionists for decades. They strike down anything that's good for middle class and working class Americans but the working and middle class continue to elect them. WTF is wrong with half the country?
    2
  194. Most Republicans fall under one of 2 categories. Gullible or evil. 1) Gullible because who would fall for trickle down economics even if their hero Reagan said it was real? Also, they don't think it's odd that they've been trained to think people poorer than them are lazy? That's probably the oldest divide and conquer tool in the book. 2) Evil because some of them seem to lack empathy for the less fortunate. A lot of them seem to think people on disability should die off or people on food stamps are more disgraceful than a swindling banker. They have little room for nuance in their black and white worldview.
    2
  195. Like religious zealots, they will fight hard over imaginary things that don't exist. Petty children like them deserve no respect at all.
    2
  196. I hate to be cynical, but the American middle class are among the most gullible people on Earth. When they disappear as a social class it'll be because they trusted corporations too much while throwing labor unions under the bus. Architects of their own demise.
    2
  197. I'm not rich or anything but I still donate to Americans United for Separation of Church and State because I'm horrified of how much power religion has in American politics. It's scary.
    2
  198. Look what the neoliberals have done to California. Elitist scum!
    2
  199. Big oil is the most evil industry in history and Republicans love them!
    2
  200. Isn't it ironic that the right hates Disney for being 'woke' while at the same time believing it should get more tax cuts because it's a corporation??? The irony is both amusing and sad.
    2
  201. The GOP wants you to be married to the malignant narcissist wierdo forever!
    2
  202. ​ @Bill-g7d Religious people can't think for themselves. I'm sorry your church told you to vote for Trump. That's too bad.
    2
  203. You hit the nail on the head. And it's so obvious that I'm surprised nobody ever talks about it.
    2
  204. We still have the right to sue. And if the Republican party has to be sued for voter suppression then people should definitely sue.
    2
  205. It isn't coming, unfortunately.
    2
  206. Embarrassingly some Native Indigenous Americans might be deported by mistake. What a clown show we have!
    2
  207. I've often suspected that many homeschooling parents were intent on creating an insulated cult environment for their children to be indoctrinated in by sheltering them from outside opinions and ideas. Now we can see it is true.
    2
  208. When the elite are finally murdered they'll look up with tears in their eyes and a victim mentality and say, "Why?" Like a psychopath that doesn't process punishment they will be unable to process what has happened or understand why they are being destroyed.
    2
  209. They're always voting against their own interests.
    2
  210.  @milesblue638  We've all met people like that. They spend their lives not caring about things that don't affect them and then freak out when that thing they used to not care abour finally starts affecting them. Not the wisest folks.
    2
  211. Reaganomics is what third world nations like Mexico have implemented forever. They just don't call it that. No fair labor laws equals no middle class.
    2
  212. It's really difficult to talk about this subject when YouTube shadowbans comments that contain forbidden words.
    2
  213. Your show needs to air on more radio stations. I'm sick of AM and FM radio being dominated by right wing tools and sellouts like Sean Hannity and Joe Pags.
    2
  214. The sad part is that most of them probably thought they could retire comfortably after 65. We're just wage slaves from the time we graduate school to the time we die.
    2
  215. Calvinists and prosperity gospel preachers are the worst. The gospel of devils.
    2
  216. Blame capitalism. We wouldn't have an immigration problem if people refused to hire cheap labor.
    2
  217. We're headed toward dictatorship and MAGA is to blame. Many Trump supporters either secretly admire Hitler and other tyrants or they're clueless and learned nothing about authoritarian minds from the Nuremberg trials because they think like authoritarians themselves but lack the self awareness to realize it.
    2
  218. If you own more than the entire working class then there's a power imblance that makes you an oligarch. I know I'm preaching to the choir here. Just wish conservative voters understood or cared about it. Many conservatives have a slave mentality but get upset when told they have a slave mentality.
    2
  219. Agree. Lazy entitled billionaires. Living off subsidies and grants from the government while their jobless wives sit at home.
    2
  220. Those other faiths aren't the majority in the U.S. so they are less of a threat in the U.S.
    2
  221. We had 8 years of you guys calling Obama a dictator. So if Thom is full of crap, you were double full of crap more than a decade ago. 😂
    2
  222. Also Trump was prevented from becoming a dictator when his sad little coup at the Capitol failed on Jan 6th. The Capitol rioters weren't MENSA material was probably one reason it failed.
    2
  223.  @PremiumWater  You've obviously never noticed when it happens or never had it happen to you. It happens a lot now. Didn't used to. YouTube used to let people comment whatever. Not anymore. It doesn't help that the algorithm doesn't recognize context because it's a stupid computer program.
    2
  224.  @DaemonJax  True. And I personally don't support Israel now that the far right has taken over the government. Israel isn't much better than Iran or Pakistan with the far right running things. The rise of the far right around the world is a troubling trend.
    2
  225. Not everything is about China. The oil companies are some of the biggest scumbags and liars on Earth.
    2
  226. The rich put him in power because Kamala openly threated increased taxes on wealthy individuals.
    2
  227. The should dismantle all the big oil companies. Exxon Mobile, Shell, Sinclair, etc.
    2
  228. Ever since the Fairness Doctrine was abolished by the Reagan appointed FCC chairman.
    2
  229. White supremacists won't wear masks during a pandemic. All we'd have to do is release a supervirus and they'd cough on each other until they all died.
    2
  230. Ronald Reagan and 40 years of his economic policies are what Republicans are guilty of. Trickle down is a scam to make the obscenely wealthy even more obscenely wealthy and every real economist knows it. Imagine if a spoiled 3 year old who always gets what he or she wants peed on you. That's trickle down in a nutshell.
    2
  231. The pee is the trickle. It is demeaning and gross.
    2
  232. I'm a millennial too. Will turn 40 soon. And yes. You are correct. Unless there's some sort of violent revolution I don't think anything will change for the better.
    2
  233. Remember the 'hanging chads' b.s. they pulled in 2000?
    2
  234. That's what they're doing with the border. The border is a political chess piece, so they like to exaggerate the problem at the border but they'll never solve it. Ever!
    2
  235. I think we should amend the Constitution so that the Supreme Court has to have at least 2000 unbiased justices.
    2
  236. The predator class suck$!!!!
    2
  237. I knew we were poor when I was 6. My parents had a little 12 inch TV with knobs and rabbit ears in 1991 and lived in a small house with an unfinished basement.
    2
  238. The ironic thing is that most people who died of Covid or from complications due to long Covid were mostly Republican voters who listened to antivax rubbish. I don't know why Republicans wanted to kill their own base. Maybe they're just morons.
    2
  239. There's a reason Hillary lost. She was too far to the right. We needed Bernie Sanders!
    2
  240. Democrats in office need to call Republicans what they are. Old oligarchs.
    2
  241. That's where are the Nazis fled to after World War 2. They bred there and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
    2
  242. The right is more violent because they can't win debates.
    2
  243. This is what I tell Trumpers. I tell them to blame the rich for our immigration problems. And maybe consider taxing them more or penalizing them for it.
    2
  244. Divide and conquer. Hate your neighbor to distract you from hating your leaders.
    2
  245. It's just a shame that a third of America is crazy enough to reelect Trump. 1/3 of the population is dangerous. We need to find a way to get rid of low education, low IQ individuals who vote.
    2
  246. If this was a Republican leaning video, the conservatives would blame the Deep State for the missing audio. 😂
    2
  247. A-Men! Pun intended.
    2
  248. Most Americans aren't too bright if climate change is the #1 problem on their list of problems.
    2
  249. Mainstream news and opinion has brainwashed people into supporting billionaires and corporate interests over themselves and their families. They don't even realize it.
    2
  250. Why do fascists always simp for rich people? For people who talk about not wanting a "nanny state" they sure seem to want billionaires to be their nannies. Looking up to their oppressors. Stupid of them.
    2
  251. We should have pollution but we should have it near gated communities and luxury apartment buildings. Then we should lie to the rich and tell them we can't do anything about the pollution in their neighborhood. The pollution should follow them wherever they move.
    2
  252. The less billionaires there are in the world, the better off we all are. Maybe small family owned businesses will make a comeback with billionaires out of the way.
    2
  253. How did Covid traumatize them? I'm traumatized by being around people. Not by social distancing from them. 😂 Covid is funny. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to joke about it.
    2
  254. Most moderate Democrats are just fiscal conservatives who believe in tax exempt status for the rich and that the poor need to suffer more. If you're talking about moderate Dems or neoliberals then I agree.
    2
  255.  @tschorsch  because of Dunning-Kruger, this person is positive that they understand the science of it because someone explained something about steel beams and heat.
    2
  256. It's mostly a promotional tool for celebrities, book authors, businesses, etc. No sane person who isn't one of those uses it.
    2
  257. Start squatting in their empty vacation homes. Start stealing high priced art and jewelry.
    2
  258. The Joker from Batman? Chaos for the sake of chaos?
    2
  259.  @mattgeiger8247  What have Democrats done for workers? Supported labor unions, supported higher minimum wage, supported a progressive tax to keep the highest earners from becoming even bigger union busting and corporate lobbying oligarchs than they already are.
    2
  260. The only silver lining here is that big oil is gonna have a sh*t ton of lawsuits to deal with that might bankrupt them.
    2
  261. Do their voters know or care about this? Ignorant Republican voters!
    2
  262. They'll never feel it. They will continue to shift blame to Democrats because that's what they do. You can't reason with them.
    2
  263. They don't see the irony of using the word 'witch hunt' as a bad thing. They were the original witch hunters and there's no such thing as witches. Immune to irony they are.
    2
  264. I think even his base is getting sick of listening to him whine.
    2
  265. The next time a Republican voter friend complains about how inefficient the government is and how privatizing everything is so wonderful, let them know that some politicians on the right want to privatize social security. I wonder what their reaction will be.
    2
  266. Thom Hartmann's videos don't get nearly enough views. Unlike the rubbish Fox News spews. Opposite of how it should be.
    2
  267. Comminism is just a conversation stopper. Any idea that offers no benefit to millionaires and billionaires is "communist".
    1
  268. Delusional, brainwashed, and dangerous. Just like the Taliban.
    1
  269. Religion is a pernicious evil with a dark underbelly. Christopher Hitchens was right! Too bad new atheism isn't more mainstream.
    1
  270. Tell him he can't go to church anymore since all homophobia is driven by Abrahamic religion.
    1
  271. True. Neoliberals are the problem. I'm convinced that the neolibs are the ones at the root of California's problems. They need to be rooted out of the Democratic party and replaced with true socialists.
    1
  272. That's why California has no estate tax. Democrats are fiscal conservatives who only pay lip service to the idea of lifting up the poor and taxing billionaires.
    1
  273. Jealous of what? The ability to multitask?
    1
  274. Sounds like Trump is the GOPs problem now.
    1
  275. Fox News in a DC Comics Universe would say that Lex Luthor was a job creator. Then they'd defame Superman by convincing people that the S on his suit might stand for socialist but they're not sure. Somebody should write that parody. Oh, wait! I'm writing it. Nobody steal it. It's gold.

  276. ​ @fred5399 You don't even remember what the 1910s were like before unions. You should have listened to the Silent Generation more, boomer. They remembered.

  277. ​ @trappedinamerica7740 it stopped being great when Republicans threw science under the bus and then wondered why the more liberal European nations outperform America in STEM and in academics in general.
    1
  278. The United States has the most corrupt government in the developed world. And the most corrupt unregulated businesses. Every other country has the sense to pass laws against corporate corruption and exploitation instead of deregulating everything to the point where billionaires become our oppressors instead of the government.
    1
  279. 2:45 The media won't even report on threats to freedom like Project 2025. Very little of what mainstream media reports is relevant to the real problems our country faces.
    1
  280. 40 years of liberals acting like fiscal conservatives.
    1
  281. It's a cult. Just like Heaven's Gate was a cult.
    1
  282. Breads and circuses. They're ignoring the collapse of democracy because they are distracted by lies from the mainstream media that tells them nothing is wrong. They're also distracted by the Super Bowl, endless movies and TV shows, and endless video games and TV channels to choose from.
    1
  283. The real beeotches mooching off of society are the housewives of Beverly Hills. Somebody should tell a Republican that harsh truth.
    1
  284. We need to lay a trap for them that they'll walk right into when their leader fails.
    1
  285. Many of us will start a civil war before we let a dictator run America. Things are gonna get ugly and violent if fascist authoritarians try to ceize control.
    1
  286. The Waltons who own Walmart claim to be Christians but they worship Mammon. What did Jesus say? You cannot worship God and Mammon. Money is the god of the Walton family.
    1
  287. If you don't walk on eggshells around blacks and you say something stupid to them you probably had it coming.
    1
  288. Biden didn't commit a terrorist act on January 6th. H.S. dropouts and losers which make up most of Trump's base did. Calling Trump supporters losers makes them less likely to do an insurrection again because at least they will know their place at the bottom if you let them know they're losers and that their religious and cultural views are irrelevant.
    1
  289. But then you realize that a vote for Trump would only help billionaires and religious extremists.
    1
  290. I'd be willing to bet that a good number of Trumpists were either homeschooled or went to a private religious indoctrination center. I refuse to call them religious "schools".
    1
  291. Sometimes the apple falls far from the tree, though. His son Ron Reagan, Jr is a liberal atheist. I like his son.
    1
  292. The more often I see stupid people in positions of power the more persuaded I am that we need a eugenics program to rid our species of low IQ individuals. Smart people fought for the Enlightenment but the stupid people want to send us back to the Dark Ages. Something must be done about them even if it has to be violent.
    1
  293. Republicans are overtly anti-union, anti-worker, won't tax the rich, won't regulate corrupt corporations, and won't raise the minimum wage. You don't think those policies keep people poor? They do. They absolutely do!
    1
  294. Also, what happens when the rich buy up all the farmland like they're planning to do. The poor and middle income farmers will all be out of a job when the rich seize all their land.
    1
  295. OK boomer. I hope McCarthyism didn't brainwash you too bad as you continue to ruin the economy for millennials. 😂
    1
  296. IDK how "secret" it is. Trump was endorsed by David Duke.
    1
  297. That's why if I had a "pre-existing condition" I would just lie and say I didn't. Then if caught, feign ignorance and pretend I thought the word pre-existing condition meant something else. Pretend I didn't know what that term meant. If that made the health insurance company mad then good. 😂
    1
  298. I ask Reagan fans who believe in Reaganomics to name one event in history where giving more money to the rich worked for anybody but the rich. Usually I'm met with crickets but every once in a while someone tries to defend it. I have yet to hear them cite one event from the historybooks where it worked the way they think it does. They can't give a real answer.
    1
  299. So government is bad unless it's giving more money to police or the military or supporting The Patriot Act. See the double standard there?
    1
  300. But easily frightened fascists tend to support the police and military over human rights or government assistance. So I understand.
    1
  301. This is reason enough for me as a regular middle class person to support nonprofits that big corporations hate. If big corporations don't value my life and would kill me for profit then why should I care about their profits???
    1
  302. 3:00 Libertarianism worked so well in Iraq that the whole country is in anarchy. Don Rumsfeld needs to admit he's a dum dum!
    1
  303. So you're OK with annexing a sovereign nation, eh Adolf?
    1
  304. Fox News never talks about corporate corruption. That's why conservatives don't know that it exists outside of the movies. Those chumps!
    1
  305. The most important lesson to glean from history is that the wealthy have always been the oppressors.
    1
  306. Hitler HATED communism. In most of his hate speeches he railed against Jews and communists.
    1
  307. They've already changed the narrative. They used to say it didn't exist and humans NO impact. Now they it exists but it's a natural cycle and humans have LITTLE impact on it.
    1
  308. They're called hermaphrodites.
    1
  309. Maybe you should worry more about inflation and overpriced housing, Adolf. K?
    1
  310. If you defenders of the rich complain about 90% we'll tax your rich buddies 98% as punishment for your complaining.
    1
  311. I have mixed feelings about Mitt Romney. On the one hand he's an out of touch billionaire who clings to the terrible fiscal policies of Republicans. On the other hand he was right about Trump and is a moral human being in his own way. Trump is the most immoral president we've ever had!!! Worse than Nixon. Worse than Clinton.
    1
  312. They can't even fight for fair labor laws and capping executive pay at big corporations. Let alone raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. It's like they're not even trying. They want the overpaid wage thieves to keep taking more money from the workers.
    1
  313. Just give the greedy rich coal in their stockings and treat their children like outcasts. That will teach them.
    1
  314. Is there an evil villain theme song for these villains who appear to be winning because they're still in power? Spread awareness by making this a TV show or movie and giving them a villain theme. Perhaps played by an orchestra.
    1
  315. If World War 2 taught us anything it's that economic problems always cause a rise in extremist views. People need a scapegoat but most are too stupid to blame the billionaires.
    1
  316. In order to be an adult, you have to understand the real world and be able to think critically. Many Trumpers are mental teenagers.
    1
  317. I encourage people to continue to wuit their jobs at restaurants and continue to create a 'labor shortage' there. The pay at restaurants has been terrible for decades.
    1
  318. Neoliberals suck!
    1
  319. Most Trumpers are too gullible to survive in New York where Trump is from. That's why most of them reside in rural areas and they still get taken advantage of from time to time. Rubes.
    1
  320. Maybe if we move the scientific illiterate climate change deniers into homes on the coast and the homes get flooded they'll believe in global warming. They're so dumb that we'll have to have a scientist come in and predict the future flooding first. They'll probably laugh at the scientist but then the scientist will get the last laugh. Just send him back to laugh at the damages and say, "Who's laughing now, f*cktards? I was right. Your homes got flooded just like I told you! Ahahahaha!" Their reaction: A mixture of anger, fear, and sadness. 😡😱😭
    1
  321. It's their own fault they can't think clearly. They chose to be little stress bot workaholic lunatics.

  322. The class warfare Reagan started when he screwed over labor unions and deregulated giant corporations and gutted the Tillman Act?
    1
  323. ​ @cliftongaither6642 I'll bet he calls himself Christian too. Just like the greedy Walmart owners, the Waltons. Like Ghandi once said: "Your Christians are unlike your Christ."

  324. Terrible writing skills. Maybe reading more books while teach you how to write properly.

  325. The problem is Republican voters don't know what net neutrality is. They don't really know what anything is. They're ignorant.

  326. Trump was the first mobster to ever become president. Shady connections.
    1
  327. Cockroaches can survive radiation better than almost any other species.

  328. I don't think they want to be communist oligarchies. Communist is the wrong word. I think want to be more like a Christian version of Turkey or Iran.
    1
  329. It's the people who listen to Trump that are the problem. The people Trump manipulates were already evil. Trump is just bringing out what's already there deep down inside of them.
    1
  330. Trump didn't raise the federal minimum wage either. No Republican will do that. How will the CEOs, CFOs, and other execs afford their goddamn yaughts and their 37 vacation homes if we pay the regular workers more???? Never trust a billionaire. Especially not Trump.
    1
  331. Hillary is a neoliberal. The elites wanted her in office.
    1
  332. Republicans have no policy, so they make up stories about drugs and big scary boogie men to worry anxious prudes who frighten easily.
    1
  333. If you want to the truth about how greedy rich people are, look at the lives of the working class during the Guilded Age and the Labor Movement. Many gave their lives so that you could have an 8 hour workday and a weekend off.
    1
  334. People who have a massive boner for Trump are gross. Why protect the orange conman just because he tells you things you like to hear? Just because orange man whispered sweet nothings in your ear he's worth defending, Trumpers??? 😂
    1
  335. I hope they sue conservative churches for holding the opinion on abortion that nearly killed them. Going after the churches is the only way conservatives will even notice this problem.

  339. Agree. Many of the greedy wealthy are their own worst enemies. They're incapable of seeing the long term effects of their actions. Low wage jobs create short term profits for the wealthy but are bad for the economy ruin businesses in the long term.

  340. I made up my mind that I wob't participate in the economy unless I'm supporting a locally owned business. Walmart is owned by the parasites you mentioned so I no longer shop there. Same with all fast food chains so I try to boycott them as much as possible.

  341. Yup. I'm convinced the Church played a role in the rise of Mussolini and Hitler too. Churches love fascist dictator types.

  349. It's easy to make them believe anything. They're a credulous lot. They did a study that showed Republicans are happier than Democrats but I suspect that's only because ignorance is bliss. If you're a sheltered white middle class person who thinks our society is the closest thing to a meritocracy there is then of course you'll be happier. It must be nice for them being that delusional and out of touch with a strong just-world bias to justify their defense of the status quo.

They're yours. 😂

The right wing has Timothy McVeigh, Jared Lee Loughner, the delusional PizzaGate shooter, the January 6th Capitol Rioters, pretty much every synagogue and mosque shooter, etc, etc, etc. Endless people who you can list by name. How many left wing terrorists can you list by name, I wonder? Whose list would come out longer? I realize this argument doesn't change minds but it's food for thought. Political beliefs are like religious beliefs. Only a small percentage of people change their political beliefs.

  376. They didn't tell us this is school but one reason the New Deal was passed under FDR is because the wealthy businessesmen were genuinely frightened of a communist revolution. They're no longer frightened of that and that's why they screw over workers as much as possible now. Plus much of FDR's New Deal was gutted by both George W. Bush and Bush Senior when they were in office.

  380.  @Daniel_LLLLLL  Jesus would be fine with taking it since he once a told a wealthy man to give up all his wealth and follow him. Besides, the wealthy are guilty of rigging the system and the banks so Jesus would in his wrath want to punish them like he punished the money changers in the temple. He would want them to be taxed more as punishment for their ill gotten gains.

  445. That would actually be a good argument against Republicans. "Why do you hate eagles? The symbol of our country is an eagle and you want our symbol to go extinct?" Republicans wouldn't even have a rebuttal. It would be a stuttering contest. "B-b-but, w-we, aren't, um...

  465. At this point we're going to have to kill the politicians and people who still believe in Reagonomics because the lie of Reagonomics is too strong and you can't reason with people who believe in it. They'll just suffer the backfire effect if you try to use facts with them.

  475. True. Most Democrats sit on their hands and do nothing. As much as Trump was a shill for the rich he was correct when he gave Democrats the nickname "do nothing Democrats". The Dems sit on their hands on most of the progressive fiscal issues. California is Democrat but doesn't have an estate tax and actually rewards billionaires. It's mostly a fiscal conservative state regardless of being a blue state.

  509. This is why I get mad when a conservative tells me the rich aren't the problem. The rich have been the problem throughout human history. Just ask France. French Revolution.

  510. Can religion be considered a congenital disease since parents pass their beliefs to their kids???? I wish I could say this to a crowd of conservative Christians and then walk away before they become too violent. If you insult religious nuts they tend to get violent.

  511. They've been watering down and erasing things like the Spanish Inquisition from history classes for a long time. I guess it upsets the Catholics or something.

  512.  @bipl8989  South Park made an entire pandemic special making jokes about Covid. The funniest people during Covid to me were the people who wore their masks wrong. You'd see some people with their noses sticking out. You have to wear it over your nose like a doctor does, dummy! 😆

  513. It's also why they think liberals are lazy. It's projection. Let's face it. Liberals worked harder and longer in school and that's why they're better educated. And remember what Trump said. He loves the poorly educated. So I guess that means he loves the intellectually lazy. So lazy. Occasionally you'll come across a Trumper who brags about working hard at a low paying labor job and it's like 'Why are bragging about being too dumb to know that you're being exploited at work and not asking for a raise? Ridiculous!' These are the same geniuses who distrust unions and they wonder why pay is lousy. Maybe because they don't support the unions who made less hours and higher pay possible after the labor movement. I've heard every excuse in the book for not liking or trusting unions. Do they trust their employer who pays them peanuts more? I don't get it! The priorities are backwards. So backwards.

  514. The Founders created a country where slavery was legal and only white landowners could vote. That doesn't sound like a democracy.

  515. Foreigners shouldn't be allowed to do business in America. We should become isolationist and do our own thing. Ban outsourcing too.

  516. I can see why Trump lied about his net worth. We'd all be better off if we exaggerated our net worth.

  517. Most MAGAs were the kids who still sucked on pacifiers at age 2. They never outgrew a need for a parental figure. They're afraid.

  519. In other words, the GOP is the party of stupid teenagers. The bad boy persona resonates with them because they never grew up.

  520. Maybe this is what will get the baby boomers to finally stop voting for Republicans. The average Fox News viewer is over age 55. Take it away if it'll teach them a lesson. I'm sick of them.

  524. Most white collar crime is increasingly legal in America thanks to deregulation. "Small government" is a Republican excuse to decriminalize corporate corruption. Ever since Bush passed the Patriot Act I knew for sure they weren't REALLY for small gov. Just for decriminalization.

  525. Republicans refuse to talk about REAL issues. Like how to reel in corporate greed and keep billionaires and banks from raising our living costs.

  526. Mainstream media is owned by the rich. That's why they're always so skiddish and walking on eggshells if they're ever forced to criticize billionaires. It's rather pathetic really.

  527. I'm starting to think unaliving a corrupt billionaire might be the epitome of patriotism. I'd tell you more but YouTube censorship won't let me.

  528. It's been an oligarchy ever since college diplomas stopped guaranteeing a good career and Bush gutted all the labor unions and prescription drug ads were legalized. I could go on. We've been an oligarchy for some time. But it has gotten worse and will continue to get worse unless a violent revolution takes place.

  530. There might be in the long run. Housing sales dropped in 2023 due to unaffordability. The rich are good at creating short term profits but their long game sucks. I would say this to their face if I ever met one.

  535. The people who vote for them are aging out too. Baby boomers and older Gen Xers born in the '60s vote GOP by a bigger margin than younger voters. Younger voters hate Reaganomics.

  541. DeSantis has all the characteristics of a psychopath. Psychopaths mirror other people and Ron DeSantis is just mirroring the craziest views of his base. Like an animal he only cares about power, money, food, sex, and other creature comforts. He's shallow like a psychopath. He has no deep concerns or opinions about anything but pretends to if he thinks he can appeal to the crazies.

  542. There would be a huge civil war with millions of lives lost before we'd ever let a single party dictatorship rule us in America. I would gladly fight to preserve democracy and would show no pity to the brainwashed former friends and family I had to gun down. There is no room for mercy in wartime.

  551. If you Google something like 'tax the rich' most of the search results are biased towards not taxing them more. The wealthy own most of the news companies, so of course the mainstream news is gonna say that taxing them more is bad. And people trust those sources unfortunately.

  553. Write a book about book banning while in prison. I think Hitler wrote Mein Kampf when he was in jail. Maybe it becomes a bestseller and people become so enraged about book banning that nobody dares to pass any more book banning laws.

  570. It's funny how we never attacked Saudi Arabia even though the 9/11 plane hijackers were from there and nobody wants to blame the Saudis for the 9/11 attacks. They'll blame everybody except the Saudis. Some conspiracy theorist will blame Tony the Tiger from the Frosted Flakes box before they blame the Saudis. People are fools!
