My absolute favourite thing about you Dr. Grande, is that you’re so comfortable with who you are. The only things that change in your videos are the background and upgraded equipment. You, however, have remained unapologetically you. Over 1.5 million subscribers currently and you haven’t gotten a big head or felt the need to sensationalize your videos. You remain the guy we’re all here to see because we love and appreciate you just the way you are. Thank you for being you ❤
The long lens of history will not be kind to Donald Trump. The many things we are being asked to disregard and overlook about his character and actions will not go away. The world is swinging to the Right these days, but it will swing back. I firmly believe that Trump represents our greatest fears and our worst reaction to them.
As a non-American we find celebrity culture bizarre. Actors and singers unable to manage their own lives instruct people who to vote for. Privileged, narsistic lives viewed through a lense of addiction with no connection to reality. This has become gods that you bow to. Frightening!
Unfortunately it's not just America, this celebrity worship culture has infected South Korea and China as well. The Chinese government has had to take legislative action to get these insane fans under control because they used the country's censorship apparatus to cancel each other by filing false reports... the government bureaucrats aren't happy when they get duped like that.
Even the Amish came out to vote this election, they never vote. They dont concern themselves about politics in general, but inflation and higher taxes made their way of living really hard, they are also very pro-life and the democrats seems to be very pro-abortion, they think that the trans issue is bullshit too they take a more biologically rooted look at gender.
Please, a supposed billionaire who stated that his dodging of STD's was he own personal Vietnam , born into wealth doesn't know a little something about abortion? Give me a break.
I am gen Z and it seems as though a lot of my generation cannot think for themselves. We have been online for almost all of our lives. We have been fed so much information, misinformation, and opinions it’s hard for us to grasp what we value and what is true or false.
You recognizing this puts you a head of the game…. I have Gen Z sons….and tried to teach them the basic points, two side to every story, and you need to fact check everything. Agendas and bias are the way of the world. Good Luck! 😊
Oh yeah that video went viral fast- that was truly bad ! She forgot - we are one nation under God 🇺🇸 she might say she is Christian but doesn’t seem like it.
To be fair, KAMALA may not have actually heard exactly what was said, and was just reacting to the heckling. I'm a Christian and voted for Trump but I try to be fair and use common sense. I gave her the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Started paying attention once I saw how they edited the clip regarding his comments on the charlston riots. from that point on I didn't listen to the mainstream media at all on him.
The reason why people back in the day would agree to disagree stemmed from the fact that there was objective journalism. And there was no social media. Hence, lack of getting stuck in an echo chamber. What we have today in media is political activism. This has inevitably led to sharp criticism of either side based on which media a person consumes
Absolutely. The advent of the internet and social media has wrestled control of information from the mainstream media. Very difficult to "manufacture consent" nowadays.
I think a lot of the anger is a direct result of intellectual dishonesty by the media. People on both sides are angered, one side that believes the lies, and the other side frustrated by those that fall for them. This isn't as much about the candidates than it is the news being disseminated about them. Journalists need to get back to striving for the truth, instead of striving to achieve a goal.
There are a lot of good journalists that are unfortunately hamstrung by the profit-driven nature of the MSM and consolidation of news outlets. It is not up to them to fix the system that we allowed corporations to break.
I'm a Britt and I work in a Government Office, where it's very cool and accepted to be openly hateful and anti-Trump. I had a conversation with a lady at work who was saying all of the rhetoric, but never actually knew that Donald Trump use to be a life-long Democrat, nor was previously friends with and went to a lot of society parties with a lot of these Democrat Politicians and Hollywood Celebs when he was previously in their inner circle (i.e. before he became a Republican). The platform appears to have been won on issues where the working people did not want to continue to foot the tax bill for illegal immigration and increasing welfare benefits. There is also a housing crisis ,and inflation is high, and people become angry and resentful when more value is placed on giving hotels to people with no right to be in the country, and funding overseas wars (Ukraine), when there is so many in lack and need in the USA. This is what has been happening for years in the UK, but here both our Political Parties are part of the same problem.
A friend of mine moved halfway across the country for a new job only to be fired two days after beginning his job. The reason he was fired is that the owner of the business looked onto his Facebook and realized that they did not politically agree. This shows how dangerous this way of thinking has become, and Dr. grande, you’ve done a great job of describing, poisonous political environment. thank you for a great talk.
I’d also add that Kamala wasn’t chosen through a direct democratic process as the Democratic candidate, which adds a sense of inauthenticity to her candidacy.
There was not any “inauthenticity” in Kamala’s candidacy in the actual sense. She is the VP and next in line if the president didn’t or couldn’t continue in office for any reason. We are talking about Donald Trump that didn’t participate in any primary or debates, but was installed anyway. There’s no comparison between the two.
I’ve been watching for awhile, but this is why I subscribed. It is so hard to find a rational voice in the mess. I needed something like this. I’m not terribly distressed at the outcome, though I did not vote for either candidate, but I wanted to hear somebody talking sense about what’s going on to sort through my own jumble of thoughts. This was finally it. Thank you.
was thinking about that today, in the not too distant past I imagined people agreed to disagree when it came to politics and carried on normally, now, because of social media postings I'd bet, you have families and friends not eating at each other's house for different holidays because of different political opinions. funny and sad at the same time.
The worst part, for me at least, is that the people Trump brought into politics have 0 clue how politics work. Like at all. Making it impossible to have a dialogue, or an argument. There was a reason these people weren't involved in politics when it was boring policy, a perpetual filibustering tug of war between 2 nearly identical parties, and everyone understood POTUS as mostly a figurehead. A representative of what the country desires most, but still will never get. What Trump did was the equivalent of turning politics, into a children's book. These people believe, Trump, when not walking on water, is micromanaging every aspect of American life. Sprinkle some hardcore demagoguing on top of that, give said children's book a scary bad guy that only brave Sir Knight Oligarch can slay, and here we are. Talking about politics isn't bad, it wasn't always this insufferable. It is exclusively thanks to the new element Trump introduced. What's new is the crass, ignorance, of adults wielding ultra simplistic politics, like a kid who just saw Star Wars would a toy lightsaber. Well, that, and the future of our country given what Trump views as "fortunate timing", and not overzealous tyranny, with SCOTUS.
So true. I miss those times. I often wonder how bad thing will get in the future. Social media truly killed a part of civilisation in a way but it also highlighted topics that were kept quiet. You can't live with it and you can't live without it.
I'm a left leaning independent. I voted for him basically because of Maslow's hierarchy. Our basic safety, shelter, and financial needs to be taken care of first. That's going to trump the social things if the Dems can't fulfill basic safety or economy. They even tried gas lighting us telling us the economy was great when I've seen tons of videos from the West Coast showing otherwise. And it was sooo sketchy how much money they gave to Ukraine. The more social aspects the Dems promise would be nice but those come after safety's, shelter, financials are met. And I have no faith they will meet those
@@Lady.Luck. - Do you honestly believe Trump will make it easier to fulfill our basic needs? He had the first three years of his first term to take care of these things. Why do you believe that billionaires who surround Trump give a damn about the working class? Do you know that most of the money given to Ukraine stays here in America? It goes to the military industrial complex. Oh, I find it hard to believe you are left leaning.
I remember all the snarky videos Dr. Grande posted about Donald Trump, in particular his mug shot video. I got my account frozen when I commented on it. It is a special treat that he has to make this video. However, as a internal medicine doctor who appreciates psychiatry, I like a most of his content, even the dad jokes.
Exactly! I love Dr Grande's videos and find them very informative, but he has been very biased on this topic. More than half of the country can't be wrong.
He’s snarky about everything. You might want to check your own bias? If one can’t make fun or hear someone taking the p* out of even their most sacred treasures, are they really unbiased?
All teacher union dues to go the demokkkrat party - public school system (& many other things like the medical community) is very much under their control and influence. Very hard to fight them. Terrible that they are miseducating our youth among other things.
Considering republicans consider critical thinking just going against every single thing that has been studied, peer reviewed and proven, I'm pretty sure there's a bigger problem overall. Too many people right now bringing diseases back by not vaccinating their kids and doing "unschooling" when they have jackshit of a shred of qualifications to educate their kids.
calling supporters of the other team names like deplorables and garbage is not a winning strategy. Calling djt a nazi, hitler incarnate came straight from the mouths of tv personalities with power to influence the angry sheep.
Many people Voted Trump, but Not for Trump. They had enough with what is going on in the country. The media is a big part of that because of the constant gaslighting. People had enough of the immigration, the trans stuff, the woke culture in TV and movies, the foreign wars and the money, the billions and billions being spent on everything except its own citizens in the daily struggle. They had enough of paying more for groceries, paying more for gas, paying more for electric, just paying more on everything. The people spoke and said No More! People are tired of giving empathy for everyone and everything. They need a break, a change, and that's why Trump is back in office. They believe the message America First because to them, they hear 'me first' in a time when many people are struggling.
I'm a lifelong Republican. I was very wishy-washy on Trump until and seriously considering voting for someone else right up until the phony prosecutions began. At that point, I became the strongest Trump supporter I've ever been. It DEFINITELY energized Republicans.
100% TRUTH - it was clear that the Democrats were weaponizing our government to go after their opponents. IF they did that to trump - who was next? To me, it's clear it would be those Americans they deemed "TRASH".
@@landontruman3632 it almost sounds like they prosecuted him in order to evoke this reaction, as opposed to what it seemed like on the surface. I’m not informed enough on these prosecutions to have an opinion, but it seems like something that could have happened based on commentary surrounding it.
@@MakerInMotionTrue. The man they used to call a war criminal. You might as well get endorsed by Darth Vader. The Democratic Party is now the party of corporate power and big money interests, like the Republican Party used to be.
I blame entitlement mentality. Tell kids they are oppressed by the system and the solution is to change the system, rather than work to prove yourself invaluable, and people will believe unethical means are the only way to get ahead.
After the first attempt on his life and about 1/4 inch away from a full on ugly civil war I thought the media would back off the gas a little but they went right back in with the hate rhetoric. Then they still kept it up even after a second!
@@bobsanders7646 Fox news aren't the ones quote-sniping (or, in the latest allegations about "firing squads", outright FABRICATING) individual phrases of the opposition's utterances, misrepresenting the context of what was actually said or how it fit into the actual topic being discussed, and then claiming that the opponent is *literally Hitler*
As a Democrat, to be fair. People called him a felon like he killed someone and it came off as a little alarmist. Also agree we shouldn't allow trans women in women's sports. It might be upsetting but it is only fair.
Do you agree or disagree that the democrat party has moved to the extreme left? The democrat party of the past 10 years looks nothing like the democrat party that existed prior.
And you the type of democrat moderates like me would consider voting for. So it’s times to convince your party to nominate more of a moderate. As of now they eat their own and bully moderates over to the right.
lol I think that the most alarmist shit democrats did was claim “our democracy is at stake” like stfu 😂 the democracy survived his first term and it will survive his next. It’s like the Democratic Party only pandered to the most gullible of people this time around
One of the best summaries I’ve heard on this subject. Corporate media outlets are directly responsible for perpetuating hate between American citizens. They need to be held accountable.
Nuremberg trials also held journalists accountable for their propaganda as well. To quote Assange "wars are started by lies and can be ended with truth".
They are directly responsible for bias journalism that spread lies and half truths of one candidate while refusing to report any bad light story and asking real questions to another candidate. The people have seen is first hand and the major media is done.
As Dick Van Dyke stated, he said “I feel like I’m being manipulated. Don’t you?” I feel like we are getting manipulated by the candidates and the media, including social media.
I have been watching Dr. Grande for years now. One of the reasons why I love his content so much is, after all this time, I still have no idea what his political leanings are. Yet, he can still talk about political topics in a fair and measured manner without making any of his biases apparent
I think Elon Musk helped him a lot. Do you remember how Trump was deleted from social media back in 2020? Musk bought twitter and here we go 😂. Without social media it would have definitely been harder.
Trump is a plainly social phenomenon kind of candidate, so I think you're right! He didn't have enough clickbait last election to work with but also, due to the pandemic, I think people didn't really trust him with such a delicate situation. Now that it's passed it seems safe enough to tackle the debt incurred.
A tiny part, Trump put himself in front of young voters and was doing extremely relevant podcasts. He did nearly twice as many rallies, interviews, press meetings, he was able to frame why to vote for him and was able to get to core issues. Twitter I think played a part but not a huge part in it. Like what dr grande said, the Dems kept him relevant and he capitalized on it.
Yes, and isn’t it sad a private citizen has to buy a social media platform in order for truth to be shared, instead of biased opinion pieces by the bought and paid for media which is an arm of the Democrat party. Most Journalists are radical gaslighting gatekeepers for the Dems. Just like with Dr Grande here, a true journalist should never give even a hint of who they vote for. They are supposed to report who, what, where and how, period.
Yup. Elon lost billions on the valuation of Twitter as advertisers fled the platform but he didn't care. It was not because he had enough money to make those loses irrelevant, it was because the bastard knew that having access to a large number of people would still make for a great tool of propaganda.
"Erosion of critical thinking skills" is a factor in refusal to accept truth. I think you nail it. I pray a greater respect and praxis of critical skills will return to our societal discourse. Be well.
Here's what's going on - a lack of civic education. Many Americans have no idea what is written in the Constitution. They don't grasp the principles this country was founded on. In short, they do not view America as what it is - a Constitutional Federal Republic. In this time of great political division, people would do well to read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and reflect on how many have died for the freedoms they take for granted. And they should ponder Franklin's words, "They who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
The US is also a democracy. Democratic institutions, such as voting, are a hallmark of our nation. Many conservatives, for some reason, want to ignore that fact.
@@ozzierabbit587 The U.S. is first and foremost a Constitutional Federal Republic because its government operates within the framework of a Constitution, dividing power between federal and state governments and ensuring that governance is conducted by elected representatives. Secondly, it is a Representative Democracy (not a pure democracy) because the ultimate authority rests with the people, who elect leaders to represent their interests. The Constitutional framework places necessary constraints on democratic decision-making to ensure individual rights and to prevent the potential excesses of majority rule. Your statement seems to imply equality between a Republic and a Democracy within this context, but you are incorrect. And the assumption that "many conservatives" ignore the fact that voting is "a hallmark of our nation" doesn't exactly ring true considering Trump won the popular vote by quite a large margin.
@@nicetalkintoya the events surrounding Jan 6 and the continued denial of the results of the 2020 election (with a shred of evidence, mind you) show the disdain the MAGA movement has for our Constitutional Republic.
@@ozzierabbit587Not sure why you would think that conservatives forget we are rooted democracy. Kamala was installed as the Democrat candidate without receiving a vote and party members said NOTHING.
@@ozzierabbit587 USA not a true democracy, which would be rule by majority, which puts the minority at great risk, that's why the founding fathers developed a constitutional republic, rule by representation with many checks and balances, something the dems don't want, dems want to throw out the electoral college, enlarge the Supreme Court so they can put their agenda over on everyone, they want felons to vote, illegals to vote, 15 or 16 yr olds to vote, all so they can obtain power and keep it, ie lord over the other party and control everyone. the proof of this is how they the kamal to run for President, she never got a single primary vote, and they forced biden out and installed her as the candidate, how's that for 'democracy' ?
I still think the radicalization of people's opinions and the inability to compromise is stemming directly from social media shortening attention spans and the overt bias in mainstream media that nevertheless gets taken at face value by some and cynical ly by others
@@vejet Calling your opponents "nazi's" is as downright vitriolic as it gets. Refusing to use the appropriate phrase "illegal immigration" when discussing immigration policy positions is one example of dishonest and vitriolic "debate" tactics. Look in the mirror for once.
I knew how horrible the establishment was long before the internet, when they passed nafta and destroyed jobs. I didn’t need the internet to convince me how horrible they were.
There is also the dummy down of American food. Many Americans just eat at fast food restaurants for too often and drive cars to the fast food window instead of making their own food or walking.
I disagree sharply with any party that believes the government should be allowed to reach into the private lives of citizens and control their personal decisions, period.
His Supreme Court picks will continue to reduce citizen's rights, and provide greater power to the office. Sad part is, his followers know this. They want a strong armed, dictator like guy. As long as he is spewing what they want to hear.
Both parties keep getting more and more authoritarian. It's just that people wanna believe only one side is doing that, but simply not true. True police state from here on out.

@@rogergeyer9851Name a conspiracy theory that is not based on truth that a large portion of Trump supporters believe? Other than the earth being flat most conspiracies have been proven true.
A very thoughtful commentary. I think people are more invested in winning versus losing than agreeing versus disagreeing, the latter being less personal and less devastating. Also, we’ve lost our ability to see the human behind our opponent who disagrees with us. When I was growing up, my father being very conservative, we lived next to a family that was very liberal, especially the mother and she was very outspoken and loved to talk her politics. But the bottom line is she was our neighbor, and she wasn’t an enemy. She was someone that we might turn to if we needed some sort of help and vice versa. There was always a recognition that we were neighbors and underneath it all humans and both Americans. I think that has really been lost.
From the numbers it seems like there were lots of votes cast from classic dems who were just not willing to sign up for another four years of the same stuff. A republican hasn’t won the popular vote since 2004. It’s a good sign the majority of America may be closer in POV than the media would like us to think.
@@poolhalljunkie9 If it was a landslide, it would only be in this direction. I didn't think it would go that way, but I knew she had zero chance of a landslide win. The US has been dying to flip Republican but a lot of people haven't wanted to admit that.
This is officially the only summary of this election that I choose to consume. I didn't know I trusted Dr. Grande this much - I guess I do! He always explains things in a way that I understand, even if it's difficult.
I think there appears to be more intolerance because people will write online what they won't say aloud in person. Love your analysis, so well-rounded and thoughtful.
Definitely because if you go out in real life, mostly people are civil to each other’s faces. Being online is completely different than being in the real world imo
Yeah but both sides planed for the economy. Only one side have more details and her plan look to be better for the middle and lower class. I mean I saw so many anxiety posts about the proposed capital gains tax when it doesn't even take place till after 100 million. 🤷

@@vejetwho are you to judge which side was more divisive? That’s purely based on your perspective. Others might feel Trump’s vitriol was justified due to the divisive attacks upon him from his opponents. His vitriol was politically successful because of deepening resentment in the population. Both sides are guilty of dehumanising their opponents.
The spreading of conspiracy theories and misinformation is also a factor in increasing divisiveness, and realize that Trump, Musk, and RFK, Jr, have all been thoroughly documented regarding this.
@@Dav-kp4sg you’ve heard Trump talk, no? This isn’t a new personality he suddenly conjured up in the past decade. He’s always been a total trash can of a person, per just about every sentence that comes out of his mouth. He doesn’t need anyone’s help to make him look bad.
Appreciate your insights. You've given some points worth reflecting on. Regarding the increased anger in political discourse I humbly suggest that this is the fault primarily of social media and the drive for profits off the backs of people's anger which is more profitable to them than kindness and respect.
Your so right!! Outrage gets way more engagement, which drives ad revenue. I'd say Trump's victories follow a similar logic. He is bombastic and polarizing, giving him something no other politician has ever really had: a fandom.
There is a general lack of respect, politeness and decorum among people now especially political people whom are considered leaders. During past presidential debates both candidates were civil and polite to each other even when expressing their differences. Their was a mutual respect shown. News broadcasters were outwardly unbiased in their presentation of the news, no viewer could tell what or where their support lied. Now its a free for all name calling, rudeness lack of respect for each other and by doing so lack in respect for us, the citizens. News commentators don't just report the news they report their opinions. Times have definitely changed. Call me old fashioned but there is a lot to be said for manners
@@patriciabuuck5277 it's pretty bad when you call your political opponent a Nazi and fascist. It was one of many mistakes that Kamala made and proved she isn't qualified to be President.

Agree. Also the way people have been convinced that 'Alternative media' has saved us from ghastly 'Legacy media' so we have a situation where Trump can go on podcasts with millions of subscribers and face a series of soft ball questions from people who have no expertise or policy knowledge to challenge any statements made instead of facing questions from trained journalists. Not to mention that it has been exposed that these podcasts have just as much bias and audience capture as any mainstream channel.
I voted for Harris, but wasn't surprised that Trump won, and I spent zero minutes fretting over it. There are always intelligent things to work on in any situation.

I could replace "voter" with "politician" and the quote would be true, too. I read Churchill 's volumes on the second world War.

Great video Dr G. Something that has really worried me in recent years is the loss of the attitude that I might disagree with someone but I absolutely respect their right to have said opinion. My rights stop where the next person’s rights begin. I took great pride in teaching my now grown children how to have a respectful discussion with people they disagree with. If we cant even discuss something, how on earth can we possibly ever hope to change someone else’s mind or find a mutually satisfactory solution? It really worries me for what we have become.
I agree with you but I think things have radically changed in the sense that once upon a time you could have basically the same facts presented to everyone, have differing opinions from each other on those facts, and continue to respect and get along with people. E.g: - all channels/sources could state that the FACT that 1 million refugees are being allowed to settle in the US this year (hypothetical issue/figure only). Some ppl would think that was about right, some ppl would think it was way too many, and some ppl would think it was way too few. But at least it would be a level playing field and ppl could make an informed decision. But now, depending on their source and algorithms, ppl are getting wildly different versions of ‘reality’ and are at each other’s throats because of feeling so alienated from others. It’s a primal evolutionary survival instinct and a fear of being ostracised and abandoned by society - that is on another level from rational thought. It’s all being engineered to divide us. Our enemies have the upper hand while we’re all distracted and consumed by this.
All decorum for respecting others opinion go out the door when those opinions lead to electing a malignant narcissistic conman democracy destroying election lying insurrectionist for president.
@@mayastrong4646 Did I say one word about Trump? I said it’s tragic that we can no longer have respectful conversations with opposing viewpoints and agree on our right to disagree without demonizing everyone who doesn’t categorically agree with you.
The problem is there is a party that tells you "NO, this is not what you should be worried about", but our pockets, the crime, say otherwise. When a majority has a concern and you want them to support you, you should tend to their concern instead of CALLING THEM A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES. We have been saying the same thing consistently since 2015. I hope they listen now, instead of doing another "The Real Reason Trump won...". We just told you the reason back in Nov 6th.
I completely agree with you Dr. Grande. I have been frustrated for many years about the Polarization in politics. If you’re not for us, you’re against us. I genuinely cannot understand why we cannot have political discourse without agreeing to disagree. I am also disappointed with the allowance and sometimes encouraged fanatical behavior in public. It’s dangerous. Extremists are extremist no matter what country they live in.
Because trump people don't live in reality. You can't have civil debates when both parties look at the same evidences, and come to different conclusions. Trumpets are delusional, indoctrinated to their eye balls, and horrible propigandized.
You can’t have normal conversations with people who want to make all abortion illegal, or who don’t care Donald trump has sexually assaulted multiple people, or people who don’t think gays should be allowed to marry and adopt (I am married to a woman with a 1 year old daughter and a son due on Christmas Day. Both of these things affect me directly)

To answer one of your questions, the Left is further to the left than it used to be. I’m a political conservative but my views are essentially where the Republican Party was 20-30 years ago; I’ve not moved further to the right. The Left, however, is further left. Race theory, gender theory, attacks vs constitutional norms, critiques of law enforcement and economic policy on the left are further to the left than the views of the Democrat Party of the 1980s or 1990s. I don’t think it’s debatable. Trump is even closer to the middle on spending and social issues than the Republicans of the 1990s were. And Harris or Obama are way to the left of Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. I’m not arguing the positions, I’m just telling you which side has moved further from where they were when the sides got along better.
I really enjoy it when you go off script. It’s one thing to receive your opinion as a doctor, which is great, but it’s quite another to receive your personal opinion in a raw, unpolished manner. It’s when you are off script, when you let your guard down, so to speak, that when you really shine IMHO.
Hello, I’m also a RUclips viewer that on occasion comments. Todays question is can I analyze the assertion that Dr. Grande never let his guard down. Just a reminder, I’m not diagnosing anyone in this comment, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this. On November 6th 2024… Why do I disagree with your assertion that Dr. Grande “never lets his guard down” this is just a theory, my opinion. Because sometimes he DOES.
Learnig to disagree is one thing. Lack of compromise is a whole other story. Politicians should all work together regardless of their political affiliation...they are public servants.
It's probably not related only to Trump. Just, by default, in present-day America, Trump is the most common object of this obsessive, rageful fixation.
Dr. Grande, this was a very thought provoking video. I do think “we” have become very intolerant of any other viewpoint other than our own. It’s like our “enemy” is anyone who doesn’t agree with our political views. A few years ago, a family member berated me because she thought I might be leaning in the opposite direction of her views. I can see now why some families refuse discussions about politics at family gatherings. They’re actually NOT discussions because neither side is willing to actually listen to the other side. And, the “facts” are often something somebody heard or read somewhere. Thank you for helping me begin to understand what is happening here.
As someone who was rhrown out of the house with my 14 year relationship b/c of my political veiws, you are right Dr Grande. I remember clearly talking poitics to family in the 70s and 80s and people disagreed, but it was a live and let live environment. But no more. My GFs friends actually said to her that they couldnt understand how she could stay with me because of my opinions. Its all so terribly sad. 😢
With social media today we have more opportunity and time to disagree and fight. In the past, we didn't even know much about what our neighbors thought about politics and we so we didn't care and fought less. With RUclips, a plethora of news outlets and channels, cell phones, iPads and computers, everyone is typing or making videos of their opinions, which invite rebuttals and it just fuels debate and conflict. People haven't changed, we just have more ways to fight with one another.
The suppression of any debate regarding the pandemic, sensorship by social media, restriction of treatments, etc. contributed to the hostility of people today. Also, the wealthy people increased their net worth during that time, while everyone else lost personal wealth. And the elite just didn’t care
Yeah but welcome to capitalism for the last 200 years. The wealthy have always increased their distance on the poor. And Trump is the wealthy in question, so's Elon. That's what confuses me a little when the common man votes him in. Like he's literally the rich guy he claims to be against
This happened in 2016. After 4 years, people were ready to get him out and they did in 2020. If he were able to run again in 4 years, I’m sure the American people will be ready to get him out again.
Whether you support Trump or not, Dr. Grande's analysis is clear and logical. Regarding the media, keep in mind the media's future apocalyptic warnings about the next Republican candidate in 2028 that you will see. The same things were spoken of George W. Bush, McCain, and Romney: any Republican candidate for the foreseeable future will endure similar headlines. Henry Ford's cliche has been applied to American politics by the media: "You can vote for any party you want, as long as it is Democrat."
I'm actually curious to see what happens in the next election when they can't use Trump as the boogeyman. You're right it'll be all doom and gloom but Trump was portrayed as UNIQUELY evil for about 10 years now. I think the next meltdown will backfire if they try to go that route again in 2028.
It could just include a clause. □ Have you ever been convicted of a felony? (Not as a result of weaponization of the justice system to persecute a political opponent.)
So you think a misdemeanor well outside the statute of limitations can be rebranded as a felony, but without ever stating what the crime was that made the misdemeanor turn into a felony? You better pray you don't get the legal system you're rooting for.
All of those spurrious cases were nothing more than attempted blockages to Trump's candidacy Instead of tripling down for another decade....take a break, and try to gain some understanding about why you find yourself on the wrong side of history.
You just told everyone how you are easily persuaded by propaganda, you're only a headline reader, and have no actual knowledge of the facts surrounding the propaganda. If you did, you wouldn't have repeated the propaganda.
@@sgueymardOpinions are usually biased, also inherently subjective. Opinions come from a personal point of view. It’s a matter of comparing those person’s opinions to the facts, and the opinion of others to make up your own informed opinion, which will also be biased. Have fun!
What I find amusing is that this summary mostly covers more recent events & considerations. Surface level it makes sense, yet there are so many reasons just in the 3 years prior that indicated Trump was a strong candidate.
Think about this Dr Grande. The difference between politics then and now is the introduction of the 'disgust' emotion. People find those on the other side 'disgusting'.
This right here. Its not about liking and supporting those who share your values anymore. Its about demonizing everyone who DOESNT share your values and labeling them as bad people overall. Very black and white, childish thinking, across every age group and political spectrum.
The difference between politics then and now is that the people that are winning these elections want to dismantle this country, and give it all to the rich. For many people that’s a life or death situation. Kind of hard to blow off.
I forget where I heard this from but I recall someone saying that disgust is a unique emotion in that the only solution to it is the destruction of what is found to be disgusting. If you say something is disgusting you are inferring that this is a thing which you will not tolerate and will seek to eradicate even at great cost. He said that he could find the limits of his patients tolerance based on when they chose to use that word.
@@anenticingsquid9219 if you're interested in this topic, look up the work of Jonathan Haidt. He has extensive research of disgust as a moral emotion, despite the field being relatively new. You're correct in your assesment that disgust elicits destructive tendencies, whereas fear pushes people into avoidance of the object of their fear. Also, disgust sensitivity is the single biggest predictor of political ideology. If I'm not mistaken about this, the correlation between disgust sensitivity and social conservatism is around 0,80. We have no knowledge of any other psychological metric being such a strong predictor of political belief, not even Openness to Experience, which is in itself a strong predictor of social liberalism. Also, I think the appearance of disgust is rooted in a fundamental change in political discourse: people hold each other (or the other side) accountable for what they *don't* believe in.
Bragg’s charging each entry into his business log as separate *felonies* is a clear cut example of overzealous prosecution - and unprecedented in New York at that. I had to laugh how Governor Hochul felt compelled to hold a press conference assuring businesses that the Trump prosecution would be a one-off.
@@barneyronnie What "poor judgement"? At least Mr. Trump could have shown basic respect and not insulted the judge and his staff, stayed awake and payed attention to the trial, and not stunk so bad.
This is a great analysis. As an individual who woke up today asking, how did this happen, I appreciate Dr. Grande's fair, balanced, and unbiased analysis. He identified many factors that I never considered. I have already forwarded this video on to several of my friends, family, and colleagues who are struggling to accept the results. Dr. Grande, great work on this video. Imagine the impact if the campaign committees had requested the input from an expert in behavioral science. In response to several comments- I have reviewed this video several times, and I find no compelling insight as to Dr. Grande's political affiliation.
Dr Grande’s a republican! He has stated so in other videos, and I thought it was obvious after watching his recent political videos. Even before I found out Dr Grande’s political affiliation, I had my suspicions he was a republican based on his criticisms/compliments of certain candidates. In Dr Grande’s defense, he does attempt to be fair and unbiased; but sometimes it obvious who he supports, in my opinion.
@@julieanndiorio2286I don’t think so, I think it was just her. Tulsi Gabbard I absolutely would have voted for. It’s the character not the gender in this situation.
My absolute favourite thing about you Dr. Grande, is that you’re so comfortable with who you are. The only things that change in your videos are the background and upgraded equipment. You, however, have remained unapologetically you. Over 1.5 million subscribers currently and you haven’t gotten a big head or felt the need to sensationalize your videos. You remain the guy we’re all here to see because we love and appreciate you just the way you are. Thank you for being you ❤

The long lens of history will not be kind to Donald Trump. The many things we are being asked to disregard and overlook about his character and actions will not go away. The world is swinging to the Right these days, but it will swing back. I firmly believe that Trump represents our greatest fears and our worst reaction to them.

As a non-American we find celebrity culture bizarre. Actors and singers unable to manage their own lives instruct people who to vote for. Privileged, narsistic lives viewed through a lense of addiction with no connection to reality. This has become gods that you bow to. Frightening!
👏
I'm American and I don't get celebrity culture.
Assuming all Americans are AT ALL alike is a huge mistake.
Unfortunately it's not just America, this celebrity worship culture has infected South Korea and China as well. The Chinese government has had to take legislative action to get these insane fans under control because they used the country's censorship apparatus to cancel each other by filing false reports... the government bureaucrats aren't happy when they get duped like that.
Oh my eyes are deceiving me. Also social media numbers...how stupid of me.
Even the Amish came out to vote this election, they never vote. They dont concern themselves about politics in general, but inflation and higher taxes made their way of living really hard, they are also very pro-life and the democrats seems to be very pro-abortion, they think that the trans issue is bullshit too they take a more biologically rooted look at gender.
When you are closer to the earth, you know what is real. No matter how much a bull may want to be a cow, no farmer is going to try to milk him.
I think they were also worried about their farms, as so much farmland is being bought up by huge multi national companies.
It was actually b/c biden-Harris administration were attacking their farms and raw milk.
Also Democrats in control are too intrusive of their lives. Dems are like a controlling boyfriend
Please, a supposed billionaire who stated that his dodging of STD's was he own personal Vietnam , born into wealth doesn't know a little something about abortion? Give me a break.

I’ve watched a few US presidential elections and when Trump was first elected, I have never heard such vitriol against a candidate in my life.
Calling him hitler and an existential threat after 2 assassination attempts is wild. 😅
Started paying attention once I saw how they edited the clip regarding his comments on the charlston riots. from that point on I didn't listen to the mainstream media at all on him.
The reason why people back in the day would agree to disagree stemmed from the fact that there was objective journalism. And there was no social media. Hence, lack of getting stuck in an echo chamber. What we have today in media is political activism. This has inevitably led to sharp criticism of either side based on which media a person consumes
Agreed
Only one side called for “vaccine” mandates and established snitch lines. Which side is less well informed?
The problem is the human being. As soon as social media allowed everyone to communicate with everyone else, we all started fighting.
Absolutely. The advent of the internet and social media has wrestled control of information from the mainstream media. Very difficult to "manufacture consent" nowadays.
An objective observation. Thank you.

I think a lot of the anger is a direct result of intellectual dishonesty by the media. People on both sides are angered, one side that believes the lies, and the other side frustrated by those that fall for them. This isn't as much about the candidates than it is the news being disseminated about them. Journalists need to get back to striving for the truth, instead of striving to achieve a goal.
Amen! When will someone hold them accountable for the damage they've caused?
Best comment. 👏🏽

There are a lot of good journalists that are unfortunately hamstrung by the profit-driven nature of the MSM and consolidation of news outlets. It is not up to them to fix the system that we allowed corporations to break.
I'm a Britt and I work in a Government Office, where it's very cool and accepted to be openly hateful and anti-Trump. I had a conversation with a lady at work who was saying all of the rhetoric, but never actually knew that Donald Trump use to be a life-long Democrat, nor was previously friends with and went to a lot of society parties with a lot of these Democrat Politicians and Hollywood Celebs when he was previously in their inner circle (i.e. before he became a Republican). The platform appears to have been won on issues where the working people did not want to continue to foot the tax bill for illegal immigration and increasing welfare benefits. There is also a housing crisis ,and inflation is high, and people become angry and resentful when more value is placed on giving hotels to people with no right to be in the country, and funding overseas wars (Ukraine), when there is so many in lack and need in the USA. This is what has been happening for years in the UK, but here both our Political Parties are part of the same problem.

A friend of mine moved halfway across the country for a new job only to be fired two days after beginning his job. The reason he was fired is that the owner of the business looked onto his Facebook and realized that they did not politically agree. This shows how dangerous this way of thinking has become, and Dr. grande, you’ve done a great job of describing, poisonous political environment. thank you for a great talk.
That’s fascism.I bet the employer was Democrat.
Perhaps one or the other had pronouns?
I’d also add that Kamala wasn’t chosen through a direct democratic process as the Democratic candidate, which adds a sense of inauthenticity to her candidacy.
EXACTLY!
This and the vetting of the primary, which she failed miserably when she tried, avoids putting forward an unpopular/unlikeable candidate
There was not any “inauthenticity” in Kamala’s candidacy in the actual sense. She is the VP and next in line if the president didn’t or couldn’t continue in office for any reason. We are talking about Donald Trump that didn’t participate in any primary or debates, but was installed anyway. There’s no comparison between the two.
She was the loser of the primary she participated in. I said she was the second worst candidate, but Biden forced the DNCs hand.
@@gracegeorge7285 Trump participated in the Republican primary, as well as two debates.
I’ve been watching for awhile, but this is why I subscribed. It is so hard to find a rational voice in the mess. I needed something like this.

This was finally it. Thank you.
Life was a lot more pleasant when folks didn't blast their political opinions all over social media.
was thinking about that today, in the not too distant past I imagined people agreed to disagree when it came to politics and carried on normally, now, because of social media postings I'd bet, you have families and friends not eating at each other's house for different holidays because of different political opinions. funny and sad at the same time.
You include the solution in your problem. Stay off social media.
Amen
The worst part, for me at least, is that the people Trump brought into politics have 0 clue how politics work. Like at all. Making it impossible to have a dialogue, or an argument. There was a reason these people weren't involved in politics when it was boring policy, a perpetual filibustering tug of war between 2 nearly identical parties, and everyone understood POTUS as mostly a figurehead. A representative of what the country desires most, but still will never get. What Trump did was the equivalent of turning politics, into a children's book. These people believe, Trump, when not walking on water, is micromanaging every aspect of American life. Sprinkle some hardcore demagoguing on top of that, give said children's book a scary bad guy that only brave Sir Knight Oligarch can slay, and here we are. Talking about politics isn't bad, it wasn't always this insufferable. It is exclusively thanks to the new element Trump introduced. What's new is the crass, ignorance, of adults wielding ultra simplistic politics, like a kid who just saw Star Wars would a toy lightsaber.
Well, that, and the future of our country given what Trump views as "fortunate timing", and not overzealous tyranny, with SCOTUS.
So true. I miss those times. I often wonder how bad thing will get in the future. Social media truly killed a part of civilisation in a way but it also highlighted topics that were kept quiet. You can't live with it and you can't live without it.
I'm a left leaning independent. I voted for him basically because of Maslow's hierarchy. Our basic safety, shelter, and financial needs to be taken care of first. That's going to trump the social things if the Dems can't fulfill basic safety or economy. They even tried gas lighting us telling us the economy was great when I've seen tons of videos from the West Coast showing otherwise. And it was sooo sketchy how much money they gave to Ukraine. The more social aspects the Dems promise would be nice but those come after safety's, shelter, financials are met. And I have no faith they will meet those
@@Lady.Luck. - Do you honestly believe Trump will make it easier to fulfill our basic needs? He had the first three years of his first term to take care of these things. Why do you believe that billionaires who surround Trump give a damn about the working class? Do you know that most of the money given to Ukraine stays here in America? It goes to the military industrial complex. Oh, I find it hard to believe you are left leaning.

I remember all the snarky videos Dr. Grande posted about Donald Trump, in particular his mug shot video. I got my account frozen when I commented on it. It is a special treat that he has to make this video. However, as a internal medicine doctor who appreciates psychiatry, I like a most of his content, even the dad jokes.
Exactly! I love Dr Grande's videos and find them very informative, but he has been very biased on this topic. More than half of the country can't be wrong.
His profession almost demands a left wing bias so it's not surprising.
I think what that proves is that it's difficult for people to escape their biases. And I guess expectations we have for other people.
He’s snarky about everything.

We’re fighting each other, when we should be fighting media. Media is owned by bad people who are playing both sides.

I think Elon Musk helped him a lot. Do you remember how Trump was deleted from social media back in 2020? Musk bought twitter and here we go 😂. Without social media it would have definitely been harder.
Trump is a plainly social phenomenon kind of candidate, so I think you're right! He didn't have enough clickbait last election to work with but also, due to the pandemic, I think people didn't really trust him with such a delicate situation. Now that it's passed it seems safe enough to tackle the debt incurred.
A tiny part, Trump put himself in front of young voters and was doing extremely relevant podcasts. He did nearly twice as many rallies, interviews, press meetings, he was able to frame why to vote for him and was able to get to core issues.
Twitter I think played a part but not a huge part in it. Like what dr grande said, the Dems kept him relevant and he capitalized on it.
Yes, and isn’t it sad a private citizen has to buy a social media platform in order for truth to be shared, instead of biased opinion pieces by the bought and paid for media which is an arm of the Democrat party. Most Journalists are radical gaslighting gatekeepers for the Dems. Just like with Dr Grande here, a true journalist should never give even a hint of who they vote for. They are supposed to report who, what, where and how, period.
Great point!
Yup. Elon lost billions on the valuation of Twitter as advertisers fled the platform but he didn't care. It was not because he had enough money to make those loses irrelevant, it was because the bastard knew that having access to a large number of people would still make for a great tool of propaganda.
"Erosion of critical thinking skills" is a factor in refusal to accept truth. I think you nail it. I pray a greater respect and praxis of critical skills will return to our societal discourse. Be well.
True. The Media needs to go back to actually reporting the news truthfully instead of propaganda to brainwash people.
Here's what's going on - a lack of civic education. Many Americans have no idea what is written in the Constitution. They don't grasp the principles this country was founded on. In short, they do not view America as what it is - a Constitutional Federal Republic. In this time of great political division, people would do well to read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and reflect on how many have died for the freedoms they take for granted. And they should ponder Franklin's words, "They who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
The US is also a democracy. Democratic institutions, such as voting, are a hallmark of our nation. Many conservatives, for some reason, want to ignore that fact.
@@ozzierabbit587 The U.S. is first and foremost a Constitutional Federal Republic because its government operates within the framework of a Constitution, dividing power between federal and state governments and ensuring that governance is conducted by elected representatives. Secondly, it is a Representative Democracy (not a pure democracy) because the ultimate authority rests with the people, who elect leaders to represent their interests. The Constitutional framework places necessary constraints on democratic decision-making to ensure individual rights and to prevent the potential excesses of majority rule. Your statement seems to imply equality between a Republic and a Democracy within this context, but you are incorrect. And the assumption that "many conservatives" ignore the fact that voting is "a hallmark of our nation" doesn't exactly ring true considering Trump won the popular vote by quite a large margin.
@@nicetalkintoya the events surrounding Jan 6 and the continued denial of the results of the 2020 election (with a shred of evidence, mind you) show the disdain the MAGA movement has for our Constitutional Republic.
@@ozzierabbit587Not sure why you would think that conservatives forget we are rooted democracy. Kamala was installed as the Democrat candidate without receiving a vote and party members said NOTHING.
@@ozzierabbit587 USA not a true democracy, which would be rule by majority, which puts the minority at great risk, that's why the founding fathers developed a constitutional republic, rule by representation with many checks and balances, something the dems don't want, dems want to throw out the electoral college, enlarge the Supreme Court so they can put their agenda over on everyone, they want felons to vote, illegals to vote, 15 or 16 yr olds to vote, all so they can obtain power and keep it, ie lord over the other party and control everyone. the proof of this is how they the kamal to run for President, she never got a single primary vote, and they forced biden out and installed her as the candidate, how's that for 'democracy' ?
I still think the radicalization of people's opinions and the inability to compromise is stemming directly from social media shortening attention spans and the overt bias in mainstream media that nevertheless gets taken at face value by some and cynical ly by others
"short attention span"? I literally watched 3 hours of Trump on Joe Rogan in 3 hours of JD Vance on Joe Rogan
That's not a short attention span
@popeyethepirate5473 congrats you're outside of the average.

It has as much to do with Trump's derisive rhetoric which was downright vitriolic, as much as anything else.
@@vejet Calling your opponents "nazi's" is as downright vitriolic as it gets. Refusing to use the appropriate phrase "illegal immigration" when discussing immigration policy positions is one example of dishonest and vitriolic "debate" tactics. Look in the mirror for once.

It was a landslide.

There is also the dummy down of American food. Many Americans just eat at fast food restaurants for too often and drive cars to the fast food window instead of making their own food or walking.
I disagree sharply with any party that believes the government should be allowed to reach into the private lives of citizens and control their personal decisions, period.
So if someone personally decides to kill someone then the Government shouldn't intervene?
His Supreme Court picks will continue to reduce citizen's rights, and provide greater power to the office. Sad part is, his followers know this. They want a strong armed, dictator like guy. As long as he is spewing what they want to hear.

If you think Biden, Harris, Walz, Trump or Vance knew about the squirrel before the story went viral, you are an idiot.
A very thoughtful commentary. I think people are more invested in winning versus losing than agreeing versus disagreeing, the latter being less personal and less devastating. Also, we’ve lost our ability to see the human behind our opponent who disagrees with us. When I was growing up, my father being very conservative, we lived next to a family that was very liberal, especially the mother and she was very outspoken and loved to talk her politics. But the bottom line is she was our neighbor, and she wasn’t an enemy. She was someone that we might turn to if we needed some sort of help and vice versa. There was always a recognition that we were neighbors and underneath it all humans and both Americans. I think that has really been lost.
Very true and well-said.
Well said and yet sadly a diminishing attitude.
From the numbers it seems like there were lots of votes cast from classic dems who were just not willing to sign up for another four years of the same stuff. A republican hasn’t won the popular vote since 2004. It’s a good sign the majority of America may be closer in POV than the media would like us to think.
Agree, thank you for this comment.
I wasn't expecting him to win the popular vote by several million.
Amazing right??

Had nothing to do with her “mistakes” but has everything to do with her being a terrible candidate and the country spoke loudly about that fact.
I think her polls were rigged by news media to make her look good.
From South America, I think it was an anti-woke vote more than a vote for DT.
Also, economy is by far the heavier issue in a voter's mind.

Yeah but both sides planed for the economy. Only one side have more details and her plan look to be better for the middle and lower class. I mean I saw so many anxiety posts about the proposed capital gains tax when it doesn't even take place till after 100 million. 🤷
@@Melinamiu007 God forbid people stop fantasizing about being marginalized for sympathy and gibs so that we can prosper as a country and People again
@@Melinamiu007the issue is when somebody dictates who is "marginalized", as, for example, if having clear skin were a guarantee and having darker skin would result in an unescapable doom. It is an ideological fantasy that sadly produces real discrimination instead of erasing the illusory one it is looking for.
I have watched the politicians, so called celebrities and the media play a big part in dividing this country over the last 30 years or more.
Correct.
Sure, but still not as much as the candidate himself. His rhetoric was downright vitriolic.
@@vejetwho are you to judge which side was more divisive? That’s purely based on your perspective. Others might feel Trump’s vitriol was justified due to the divisive attacks upon him from his opponents.
His vitriol was politically successful because of deepening resentment in the population. Both sides are guilty of dehumanising their opponents.
The spreading of conspiracy theories and misinformation is also a factor in increasing divisiveness, and realize that Trump, Musk, and RFK, Jr, have all been thoroughly documented regarding this.
@@Dav-kp4sg you’ve heard Trump talk, no? This isn’t a new personality he suddenly conjured up in the past decade. He’s always been a total trash can of a person, per just about every sentence that comes out of his mouth. He doesn’t need anyone’s help to make him look bad.
Appreciate your insights. You've given some points worth reflecting on. Regarding the increased anger in political discourse I humbly suggest that this is the fault primarily of social media and the drive for profits off the backs of people's anger which is more profitable to them than kindness and respect.
Your so right!! Outrage gets way more engagement, which drives ad revenue. I'd say Trump's victories follow a similar logic. He is bombastic and polarizing, giving him something no other politician has ever really had: a fandom.
Well, Dr. Grande, better late than never. Glad you finally figured out what most Americans already knew.
There is a general lack of respect, politeness and decorum among people now especially political people whom are considered leaders. During past presidential debates both candidates were civil and polite to each other even when expressing their differences. Their was a mutual respect shown. News broadcasters were outwardly unbiased in their presentation of the news, no viewer could tell what or where their support lied. Now its a free for all name calling, rudeness lack of respect for each other and by doing so lack in respect for us, the citizens. News commentators don't just report the news they report their opinions. Times have definitely changed. Call me old fashioned but there is a lot to be said for manners
it all changed in 2015 🤷♂
Same here.
@@patriciabuuck5277 it's pretty bad when you call your political opponent a Nazi and fascist. It was one of many mistakes that Kamala made and proved she isn't qualified to be President.
The dems aren't innocent to be sure but the majority of the blame lies at Trumps feet. Never before has there been a president who's been so derisive and demeaning towards allies and opponents alike. But hey, it work - from now on this will be your new normal USA.
Agree. Also the way people have been convinced that 'Alternative media' has saved us from ghastly 'Legacy media' so we have a situation where Trump can go on podcasts with millions of subscribers and face a series of soft ball questions from people who have no expertise or policy knowledge to challenge any statements made instead of facing questions from trained journalists. Not to mention that it has been exposed that these podcasts have just as much bias and audience capture as any mainstream channel.

I could replace "voter" with "politician" and the quote would be true, too.

A strength of having politicians and electorate us that they check each other's power because neither should be trusted to rule by themselves.
How about run a more qualified candidate. This woman ran in 2019 and was the worst performing candidate then as VP the same media who were now telling us how great she is was at first saying how bad of VP she was and that the white house was hiding her. She was the worst candidate running for a major office I've ever seen. Only thing she had conviction about was abortion. She was bad at conveying her stance on anything else.
Exactly, and chose abortion as a hill to die on.
How stupid. 😂
Funny thing is she has no direct power over Abortion rights had she been president
@@lynnetmb4706 It wasn't so stupid: 85% of Dems and 41% of Reps support legal abortions in most cases. It's also supported by 61% of men and 64% of women. However, that was not enough in-and-of itself to sway the electorate.
Because they backed themselves into an identity politics corner !
Well that just lets me know that you didn't take the time to listen to her talk about any of her policies because she clearly spells out what she wanted to do and her plans if she was to make it to office
Biden called MAGA garbage but Trump said hold my beer and jumped into a garbage truck.
👍😂
In that evening the comedian in Trump's rally called Puerto Rico an isle of garbage what nobody of the staff denied. Joe Biden talked about this incident and Donald Trump's Team switched Biden's words. He can tell what he wants, nobody uses his brain.
MAGA is garbage. America is garbage. She's done as a world power.
Perfect😂💯
That was pretty funny. The thing I liked about Trump and Biden is their personality came off like someone I would run into at my trucking job. Kamala came off as the corporate girl who comes once a year to scold us on how to run our building even though she doesnt know how things actually work.
They literally had Tulsi Gabbard and I would’ve voted for her as a democrat or a republican but they even turned her away.

Great video Dr G. Something that has really worried me in recent years is the loss of the attitude that I might disagree with someone but I absolutely respect their right to have said opinion. My rights stop where the next person’s rights begin. I took great pride in teaching my now grown children how to have a respectful discussion with people they disagree with. If we cant even discuss something, how on earth can we possibly ever hope to change someone else’s mind or find a mutually satisfactory solution? It really worries me for what we have become.
I agree with you but I think things have radically changed in the sense that once upon a time you could have basically the same facts presented to everyone, have differing opinions from each other on those facts, and continue to respect and get along with people. E.g: - all channels/sources could state that the FACT that 1 million refugees are being allowed to settle in the US this year (hypothetical issue/figure only). Some ppl would think that was about right, some ppl would think it was way too many, and some ppl would think it was way too few. But at least it would be a level playing field and ppl could make an informed decision. But now, depending on their source and algorithms, ppl are getting wildly different versions of ‘reality’ and are at each other’s throats because of feeling so alienated from others. It’s a primal evolutionary survival instinct and a fear of being ostracised and abandoned by society - that is on another level from rational thought. It’s all being engineered to divide us. Our enemies have the upper hand while we’re all distracted and consumed by this.
All decorum for respecting others opinion go out the door when those opinions lead to electing a malignant narcissistic conman democracy destroying election lying insurrectionist for president.
@@mayastrong4646 Did I say one word about Trump? I said it’s tragic that we can no longer have respectful conversations with opposing viewpoints and agree on our right to disagree without demonizing everyone who doesn’t categorically agree with you.
The problem is there is a party that tells you "NO, this is not what you should be worried about", but our pockets, the crime, say otherwise. When a majority has a concern and you want them to support you, you should tend to their concern instead of CALLING THEM A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES.
We have been saying the same thing consistently since 2015. I hope they listen now, instead of doing another "The Real Reason Trump won...". We just told you the reason back in Nov 6th.
I completely agree with you Dr. Grande. I have been frustrated for many years about the Polarization in politics. If you’re not for us, you’re against us. I genuinely cannot understand why we cannot have political discourse without agreeing to disagree. I am also disappointed with the allowance and sometimes encouraged fanatical behavior in public. It’s dangerous. Extremists are extremist no matter what country they live in.
When extremists take over the main parties as they have, you can start to paint a picture of the polarized America we see today.
Harris has expressed a willingness to work with those who disagree. She stated this many times.
Trump fired his own cabinet for disagreeing with him
Because trump people don't live in reality. You can't have civil debates when both parties look at the same evidences, and come to different conclusions. Trumpets are delusional, indoctrinated to their eye balls, and horrible propigandized.
You can’t have normal conversations with people who want to make all abortion illegal, or who don’t care Donald trump has sexually assaulted multiple people, or people who don’t think gays should be allowed to marry and adopt (I am married to a woman with a 1 year old daughter and a son due on Christmas Day. Both of these things affect me directly)
Because one of the candidates refused to accept the 2020 election outcome and then convinced his supported that black was white and up was down.

To answer one of your questions, the Left is further to the left than it used to be. I’m a political conservative but my views are essentially where the Republican Party was 20-30 years ago; I’ve not moved further to the right.
The Left, however, is further left. Race theory, gender theory, attacks vs constitutional norms, critiques of law enforcement and economic policy on the left are further to the left than the views of the Democrat Party of the 1980s or 1990s. I don’t think it’s debatable. Trump is even closer to the middle on spending and social issues than the Republicans of the 1990s were. And Harris or Obama are way to the left of Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter.
I’m not arguing the positions, I’m just telling you which side has moved further from where they were when the sides got along better.

Hello, I’m also a RUclips viewer that on occasion comments. Todays question is can I analyze the assertion that Dr. Grande never let his guard down.
Just a reminder, I’m not diagnosing anyone in this comment, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this. On November 6th 2024…
Why do I disagree with your assertion that Dr. Grande “never lets his guard down” this is just a theory, my opinion. Because sometimes he DOES.
You’re the best Dr Grande. I always forward to your analysis.
Learnig to disagree is one thing. Lack of compromise is a whole other story. Politicians should all work together regardless of their political affiliation...they are public servants.

@marycherry2001 Yes, it's incredible. I wonder if he's doing intentionally? 🤔
Dr. Grande, this was a very thought provoking video. I do think “we” have become very intolerant of any other viewpoint other than our own. It’s like our “enemy” is anyone who doesn’t agree with our political views. A few years ago, a family member berated me because she thought I might be leaning in the opposite direction of her views. I can see now why some families refuse discussions about politics at family gatherings. They’re actually NOT discussions because neither side is willing to actually listen to the other side. And, the “facts” are often something somebody heard or read somewhere. Thank you for helping me begin to understand what is happening here.
As someone who was rhrown out of the house with my 14 year relationship b/c of my political veiws, you are right Dr Grande. I remember clearly talking poitics to family in the 70s and 80s and people disagreed, but it was a live and let live environment. But no more. My GFs friends actually said to her that they couldnt understand how she could stay with me because of my opinions. Its all so terribly sad. 😢
Mate, ya dodged a bullet by being out of that toxic relationship, pat yerself on the back I say.
It’s because you lack compassion. A trait that has helped humans evolve.

Guess she wow that argument. She seems to know what the definition of insanity is.
I've seen bullying and hate from lefties, and MSM and I live in Australia. I've yet to see a Republican, Independent or anyone else do this.
With social media today we have more opportunity and time to disagree and fight. In the past, we didn't even know much about what our neighbors thought about politics and we so we didn't care and fought less. With RUclips, a plethora of news outlets and channels, cell phones, iPads and computers, everyone is typing or making videos of their opinions, which invite rebuttals and it just fuels debate and conflict. People haven't changed, we just have more ways to fight with one another.
The suppression of any debate regarding the pandemic, sensorship by social media, restriction of treatments, etc. contributed to the hostility of people today. Also, the wealthy people increased their net worth during that time, while everyone else lost personal wealth. And the elite just didn’t care
Yeah but welcome to capitalism for the last 200 years. The wealthy have always increased their distance on the poor.
And Trump is the wealthy in question, so's Elon. That's what confuses me a little when the common man votes him in. Like he's literally the rich guy he claims to be against
@@mosisusasu9205 You seriously cannot see why people voted for Trump?
This happened in 2016. After 4 years, people were ready to get him out and they did in 2020. If he were able to run again in 4 years, I’m sure the American people will be ready to get him out again.
I guess we'll find out. If Vance runs and wins it'll show people continue to approve of the administration
Whether you support Trump or not, Dr. Grande's analysis is clear and logical. Regarding the media, keep in mind the media's future apocalyptic warnings about the next Republican candidate in 2028 that you will see. The same things were spoken of George W. Bush, McCain, and Romney: any Republican candidate for the foreseeable future will endure similar headlines. Henry Ford's cliche has been applied to American politics by the media: "You can vote for any party you want, as long as it is Democrat."
The political parties really instill an "us vs them" mindset.

I'm actually curious to see what happens in the next election when they can't use Trump as the boogeyman.
You're right it'll be all doom and gloom but Trump was portrayed as UNIQUELY evil for about 10 years now. I think the next meltdown will backfire if they try to go that route again in 2028.
Putin thanks you for you apathy
Ultimately- remove the question “have you been convicted of a crime” off job applications because obviously it doesn’t matter.
It could just include a clause.
□ Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
(Not as a result of weaponization of the justice system to persecute a political opponent.)
are you a part of the establishment in which all your crimes get ignored?
So you think a misdemeanor well outside the statute of limitations can be rebranded as a felony, but without ever stating what the crime was that made the misdemeanor turn into a felony? You better pray you don't get the legal system you're rooting for.
All of those spurrious cases were nothing more than attempted blockages to Trump's candidacy

Shhh, don’t tell them!
Think about this Dr Grande. The difference between politics then and now is the introduction of the 'disgust' emotion. People find those on the other side 'disgusting'.
This right here. Its not about liking and supporting those who share your values anymore. Its about demonizing everyone who DOESNT share your values and labeling them as bad people overall. Very black and white, childish thinking, across every age group and political spectrum.
The difference between politics then and now is that the people that are winning these elections want to dismantle this country, and give it all to the rich. For many people that’s a life or death situation. Kind of hard to blow off.
I forget where I heard this from but I recall someone saying that disgust is a unique emotion in that the only solution to it is the destruction of what is found to be disgusting. If you say something is disgusting you are inferring that this is a thing which you will not tolerate and will seek to eradicate even at great cost. He said that he could find the limits of his patients tolerance based on when they chose to use that word.
@@anenticingsquid9219 if you're interested in this topic, look up the work of Jonathan Haidt. He has extensive research of disgust as a moral emotion, despite the field being relatively new. You're correct in your assesment that disgust elicits destructive tendencies, whereas fear pushes people into avoidance of the object of their fear. Also, disgust sensitivity is the single biggest predictor of political ideology. If I'm not mistaken about this, the correlation between disgust sensitivity and social conservatism is around 0,80. We have no knowledge of any other psychological metric being such a strong predictor of political belief, not even Openness to Experience, which is in itself a strong predictor of social liberalism. Also, I think the appearance of disgust is rooted in a fundamental change in political discourse: people hold each other (or the other side) accountable for what they *don't* believe in.
This is a very astute analysis thank you Dr Grande
Bragg’s charging each entry into his business log as separate *felonies* is a clear cut example of overzealous prosecution - and unprecedented in New York at that. I had to laugh how Governor Hochul felt compelled to hold a press conference assuring businesses that the Trump prosecution would be a one-off.
Crooks.

Alvin Bragg demonstrated poor judgement. Trump was so bored in that courtroom.
@@barneyronnie What "poor judgement"? At least Mr. Trump could have shown basic respect and not insulted the judge and his staff, stayed awake and payed attention to the trial, and not stunk so bad.
@@ozzierabbit587Why should he respect that bogus kangaroo Court 😅
Great point about prosecutors and convicting Trump and how it backfired.
This is a great analysis. As an individual who woke up today asking, how did this happen, I appreciate Dr. Grande's fair, balanced, and unbiased analysis. He identified many factors that I never considered. I have already forwarded this video on to several of my friends, family, and colleagues who are struggling to accept the results. Dr. Grande, great work on this video. Imagine the impact if the campaign committees had requested the input from an expert in behavioral science.
In response to several comments- I have reviewed this video several times, and I find no compelling insight as to Dr. Grande's political affiliation.
Dr Grande’s burner
He refused to accept Biden was senile for three years. Wasn't exactly sympathetic to the owners of Peanut either.
Dr Grande’s a republican! He has stated so in other videos, and I thought it was obvious after watching his recent political videos. Even before I found out Dr Grande’s political affiliation, I had my suspicions he was a republican based on his criticisms/compliments of certain candidates. In Dr Grande’s defense, he does attempt to be fair and unbiased; but sometimes it obvious who he supports, in my opinion.
I believe that most Americans just did not want a woman president in the white house.
@@julieanndiorio2286I don’t think so, I think it was just her. Tulsi Gabbard I absolutely would have voted for. It’s the character not the gender in this situation.
