The reason his followers have sunk to cult levels, is because he has made indecency acceptable, he has freed them from the constraints of decency, of morality, of empathy, of being just to everyone. He has allowed them to be their worse, to not just free their bigotry, but be proud of it, to be proud of their worse instincts, and so they love him for it, he is their beacon.
This is such a simplistic take on Trump voters. There is no evidence that the majority of Trump voters are bigots. Trump voters vote for Trump for a whole myriad of reasons. Some support him because they want lower taxes. You have hispanics who support in part because they or their parents came to the country legally and they do not appreciate that their are undocumented immigrants who've been able to skip all the paperwork and settle in the US illegally. Others support Trump because they want to reduce inflation. Finally many vote for Trump because they feel betrayed by the democrats for being partially responsible for de-industrializing the USA and they vote for Trump not because they like him but they vote for him out of protest.

But just because he is entertaining and can effectively communicate his policies it doesn’t invalidate his policies. If I was American I wouldn’t want millions crossing the southern border.

The problem is that nobody is willing or, able to ask the question, “Why is immigration a problem? Who is it a problem for?” Seems to me that people should be able to go where they want. You should be able to enter a country, let them know you’re here, be given a number and join society. If it works for people born in a certain place (children), it should work the same for somebody showing up full grown. It’s not as though that person could get away without paying taxes ( dang near everything you buy has a tax associated). Seems kind of bizarre to think, “I was born here, therefore I belong here. You were born over there, therefore you belong over there”.
I think the problem is with how many move to a country. For instance, there would be a shortage of housing and with the law of supply and demand, that would mean rent prices would go way up. It is reasonable to set a limit for immigration each year, and asylum seekers should be first in line. Edit: I would add that wealthy countries would be wise to help poor countries suffering from droughts, etc. due to Climate Change. Most poor people do not want to leave their home countries but face starvation if they stay. It makes sense to help them before they leave their home countries.

The appeal of Trump is that he allows people who are guilty of the sins of racism, homophobia, mysogini to cast off any culpability. He also allows hatred to be legitimised and I think simple people enjoy the emotion of hate.

A few interesting aspects of certain SE Asian countries. I am Filipino and I have many Vietnamese friends. Some Vietnamese who like Trump see him as the opposite of the Communist party that won the war. Many Filipinos, who voted for Duterte, saw Trump as someone like Duterte, someone who was anti-establishment. They also had a bromance as well during their tenures. I’m not saying this is right nor that it is much different in context from Trump supports in America. It’s interesting the different angles some people have that have led them to Trump but in context his abstract language and contrarian-like demeanour is the same regardless of where you are from. It’s how they “fill-in-the-blanks” of his ambiguous and abstract language. To me he is a salesman who is challenging his limits because of a fragile ego. And is a predatory pervert who would date his daughter if he had the chance.

If some Trump voters genuinely believe in him, then that was the level of sophistication needed to fool them. Almost no sophistication at all. If some support Trump just to troll and antagonise never-Trumpers, then Trump himself will say and do idiotic and malignant things to show just how debased those supporters are. Trump really is an empty shell of a person, desperately trying to convince others that he's a success and that whatever sham front he puts forward has some merit. It's like thinking that Nelson from 'The Simpsons' is the person you chose to represent you and fight your battles on the world stage.

Rishi Sunak's statement that our attacks on the Houthis are not linked to the Gaza conflict is clear and correct. The Houthi's attacks are obviously linked to that conflict, but our response is to protect world trade, our motive is not to directly support Israel. I don't understand your confusion.

The problem is that nobody is willing or, able to ask the question, “Why is immigration a problem? Who is it a problem for?” Seems to me that people should be able to go where they want. You should be able to enter a country, let them know you’re here, be given a number and join society. If it works for people born in a certain place (children), it should work the same for somebody showing up full grown. It’s not as though that person could get away without paying taxes ( dang near everything you buy has a tax associated). Seems kind of bizarre to think, “I was born here, therefore I belong here. You were born over there, therefore you belong over there”.
so you'd be happy with throwing away the welfare system then?
ONLY THE BRITISH COULD COLONIZE HALF THE WORLD …
AND THEN LEAVE THE EU BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT IMMIGRANTS.
I think the problem is with how many move to a country. For instance, there would be a shortage of housing and with the law of supply and demand, that would mean rent prices would go way up.
It is reasonable to set a limit for immigration each year, and asylum seekers should be first in line.
Edit: I would add that wealthy countries would be wise to help poor countries suffering from droughts, etc. due to Climate Change. Most poor people do not want to leave their home countries but face starvation if they stay. It makes sense to help them before they leave their home countries.
It’s easier for smoother brains to unite under fear and hatred
@@nicholashanson9508On what grounds, did you reach that conclusion? You do understand higher-educated people migrate, too? What’s welfare got to do with it, unless you’re connecting (on a very simple and unresearched level) the two through prejudice and fear.
Hamas were funded and supported by successive Netanyahu governments from its inception to create a division between the PLO under Yasser Arafat because they were a secular organisation , then both America and Israel urged them to run for political office in Gaza, as soon as Hamas won the Israeli government and America declared them a terrorist organisation.

One thing Trump has done you might not of heard about. He praised China for Tiananmen Square
Another gross thing is claiming he’s “Christian” and while being President, cleared Lafayette Square of peaceful protests with anti-riot violence from riot police, ALL to cross the street for a photo-op in front of a church, where he posed, holding a Bible upside down.
Gender, possession of college degree (or lack thereof), and urban/rural are the most important factors that seperate liberals and conservatives in the U.S.
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." Emeritus professor of political science Robert Paxton.
You don't get to the top of the class by quoting somebody and deluding yourself that you are the clever one.
Nah. He's correct. Right wingers get in their feelings when you call this out @Don.Estelle
No one wants to abandon democratic liberties, not at all not in any way, all we need/want is our leaders to start following the democratic process and for governments to start doing what the people vote for like they keep telling us they will but never do.

No way does James remember the time at a rally, he said he'd pay the legal bills for anyone attacking the journalists in the room.
Yes he did say that
He did say that, though it was not a journalist, there were several hecklers in the crowd that night and as one was being taken out by security, he said those words

Why not? I'm 74, and I easily remember. Some things are so outrageous that they are impossible to forget.
The policy has worked in Australia, so the Tories are just copying it. I hope the British are more ethical than that.

It's bizarre that anyone hosting a phone in about the Tories and immigration would say "May was probably the best one". Are we forgetting her "Go Home" vans from 2013? Her "hostile environment"? NO Tory has been even close to decent in many, many years, if any of them ever were. It's a disgusting political party and ideology that breed and thrives from hatred.
thanks james for what you do. as for trump lovers.....you cant have a battle of wits with and unarmed person
The appeal of Trump is that he allows people who are guilty of the sins of racism, homophobia, mysogini to cast off any culpability. He also allows hatred to be legitimised and I think simple people enjoy the emotion of hate.
MAGA hates it when people point out that truth. They’ve spent so long trying to justify their hatred and here you are, dismantling all their mental gymnastics and undermining their nonsense! How dare! 😂 bc it’s obvious.

The separation of children from their families was so cruel!
Pathology, not psychology.
To me, morally the most vile thing trump has done was to separate kids from their parents and put them in cages. Everything else is tied for second.

Oh it was James caught out Muslim travel ban.....Sammy tears o Brien a new one on YT priceless even now!
As a parent of a child with a disability, the most vile thing for me was when Trump mocked and impersonated a reporter with a disability at one of his rally for laughs. He’s despicable.

Eh? Most of the eastern Europeans are white - mass uncontrolled immigration. What are you waffling exactly?
James: I cannot say how many of us are truly frightened by the possibility of Trump, a major threat to western Democracy, having a second term.
The fact that so many Americans support him make me ashamed to be an American.
I am an American and I assure you, we are just a horrified as you are.
Using lawfare and ballot disqualification to try to eliminate a political opponent is the actual threat to democracy.
And having journalism replaced by agitprop… Orwell would have gone wild with the current situation.

A few interesting aspects of certain SE Asian countries. I am Filipino and I have many Vietnamese friends.
Some Vietnamese who like Trump see him as the opposite of the Communist party that won the war.
Many Filipinos, who voted for Duterte, saw Trump as someone like Duterte, someone who was anti-establishment. They also had a bromance as well during their tenures.
I’m not saying this is right nor that it is much different in context from Trump supports in America.
It’s interesting the different angles some people have that have led them to Trump but in context his abstract language and contrarian-like demeanour is the same regardless of where you are from. It’s how they “fill-in-the-blanks” of his ambiguous and abstract language.
To me he is a salesman who is challenging his limits because of a fragile ego. And is a predatory pervert who would date his daughter if he had the chance.
Retrospective, ongoing & prospective analysis provides everthing the unscrupulous fear, like honesty integrity accountability & transparency every time 24/7.

I understand why you want to believe that surely there's something more to it. But for many Trumpers, it really is as simple as sticking it to the libs. That's all it takes for the very simple minded. I think you know that, I believe its just a concept that a healthy, more *complex mind can accept.

If some Trump voters genuinely believe in him, then that was the level of sophistication needed to fool them. Almost no sophistication at all. If some support Trump just to troll and antagonise never-Trumpers, then Trump himself will say and do idiotic and malignant things to show just how debased those supporters are. Trump really is an empty shell of a person, desperately trying to convince others that he's a success and that whatever sham front he puts forward has some merit. It's like thinking that Nelson from 'The Simpsons' is the person you chose to represent you and fight your battles on the world stage.
Nelson is loveable though.

It is Shetland not Shetlands. It is nit lots of islands called Shetland it is lots of islands with different names under umbrella name of Shetland islands. I am amazed, if u have been here often, that this has not bern pulledup with u cos it is one thing the islanders r sticklers about. The only time u may use the plurral Shetlands is if u r talking about South Shetland and north Shetland islands, then it wkd be the Shetlands.

Rishi Sunak's statement that our attacks on the Houthis are not linked to the Gaza conflict is clear and correct. The Houthi's attacks are obviously linked to that conflict, but our response is to protect world trade, our motive is not to directly support Israel. I don't understand your confusion.
