Salutations! I'd be very interested to know from my American viewers how you voted and why. Did you vote for Trump and why? Did you vote for Harris and why? Or did you choose not to vote and why? Let me know in the comments please!
I'm a white woman who flipped red this election because of trans and woke tyranny mostly. Just look at any city run by Democrats for decades and they're all extremely expensive while ridden with homelessness, drug addicts in public, migrants overflowing, terry protests, poop on the sidewalk and drag queens in the schools. I don't want the whole country to be like San Francisco.
I voted for Trump, precisely for the same reason most Trump voters did - our economy is shit and I’m sick of giving 40% of my income to taxes for what??
I tried to vote for Kamala, but couldn’t since I’m in Uni. I am a 21-year-old black man and I typically stay silent regarding politics; however, Donald Trump might be one of the worst politicians/presidents I have ever seen my life. I study fiscal policy, micro economics, and macroeconomics at the college level, and I believe that the average American does not understand economic policy. Other reasons include immigration, funding for arts programs, funding for public schools, and just this idea of supporting the diminishing middle class here in America.
@@gamerbabyy I have a question, articulate to me how Trump (implied) will make the economy better. I formally study supply side economics with the fed (Fl Division) and leaders of college economics departments and even THEY tell me that Trump and Republicans are extremely uninformed in the topic of economics.
When I think US progressive, I think the independent Bernie Sanders. Inflation, class and income inequality are his main talking points. Modern liberals and progressives are pretty inequitable.
Yeah it's frustrating to hear them conflated and making me less receptive to her point. The platform progressives would run on would speak to so many people for the reasons you stated. I've always thought Bernie would have stood a chance of beating trump in 2016
Absolutely true. This creator conflates progressives and liberals so much throughout this video that her points fall apart. I hope she speaks to leftists in the US so she can have a better understanding of the way our politics work bc this is nottt it
@@k3upikachuthis is exactly why when looking at the data there is a huge overlap of Bernie supporters and people who eventually voted for trump. Its strays from policy and becomes populism VS establishment. This is why Kamala finds herself in the company of neoconservatives like Liz/Dick Cheney and why true leftists will eventually find themselves in the same party with the MAGA crowd. Theres a political realignment happening right now. You all should check out Due Dissidence and The Jimmy Dore show if you want that type of stuff
Yet none of those things actually had to do with the Democratic Party. Remember that only a few months after Biden was inaugurated was when Covid started. Since then there have been many external conflicts that affect inflation in our country as well. The last four years was literally Covid.
I’m Korean American and as soon as I saw women posting about blue bracelets and the 4B movement twelve hours after the election, I was upset. They’re taking all the nuance and purpose behind Korea’s 4B movement and making it a gimmick and performative. I can’t.
that’s actually really interesting, i was also thinking it was very performative compared to the struggles Korean women actually are going thru right now. i saw one of the government officials saying he thinks women should basically be castrated at 30 as a punishment for not having children and banned from marriage after 25. then he tried to pretend he wasn’t serious
IKR. In South Korea, there are major, institutionalized problems of abuse towards women, which resulted in the 4B movement. Unlike white, liberal women who are the most privileged women in the world that most women all over the world would have killed to have. These liberal women are so tone-deaf and stupid. They should watch Rotten Mango's videos about the Nth room so they'll be educated about this and stop being so ignorant.😡
I'm Australian, but from the videos I remember seeing in 2015 I think that's why Bernie Sanders was so popular. He cut through all the BS and talked about practical economic stuff that people on both sides could relate to. And the only "us vs them" talk I remember was "the 99% versus billionaires ".
You need to ask yourself who's doing the dividing? Who is most likely to be bullied when they dissent from progressive elite minority who are steering the movement? Mostly other progressives. In 2016 it was disappointing and I was surprised that Trump won. He won without the popular vote. But this time I was pretty sure he would win handily. The loss was well deserved for the Democrats. They should be doing self reflection but instead they are doing what they always do, deflecting, denying,. minimizing, gaslighting and the most damning, lying by omission. The 60 minutes edit of their Kamala Harris interview was one of the most creative implementation of lying by omission I've seen.
Biggest complaint about this video is calling neoliberal establishment types “progressives” or “leftists”. Actual progressive leftists hate these people😂
The majority of Americans do not make those distinctions - politics is understood as liberal vs conservative and democratic vs authoritarian...any other ideology is put under the umbrella of those two binaries. There is also no real "left" within the United States in terms of meaningful poltical power: labor is dead, there are no viable 3rd parties, the 60s/70s era of activists either died off or got absorbed, and any new crop of activists groups regularly make the mistake of equating online/pop cultural reach with actual impact. The existing national level politicians that could be meaningfully called "leftist" are in the single digits and even they are regularly hated by the the very small subculture of leftists that don't even vote.
I fully understand most of the arguments you made, I consider myself to be fairly progressive but I ran away from the identity politics of the progressive movement several years ago. The one thing I don't understand is, why did so many people vote for Donald Trump for "economic reasons" and because "they need someone to do something about income inequality" when he's the guy that's going to cut taxes on the wealthy and put tariffs? It doesn't seem like the right solution to the problem. Besides that, I fully understand why most Americans were turned off by the Democratic party, they have become a party of elitists and snobs
@@iamPudding This is the same principal of why George W Bush was able to come across as an every-man despite being a Yale educated WASP - He had that Texas twang.
I feel like a married man who has mutually decided with his wife to not have children because it fits their life together is like the exact opposite of red pill.....
@@Jordanthecool7 husbands and wives are not equal, the husband leads, wives submit, if you want to be "partners" with your wife, that is the pinnacle of blue pill rhetoric: disconnected from biological reality
being in a healthy monogamous marriage at all is redpill to "poly am" furry hook-up culture pushing millennials that have never been capable of a shred of loyalty in their lives
Thank you for not falling for the "man vs woman" narrative about this election. Virtually every demographic shifted towards Trump. We have to face the fact that something about their message just works better
I think shaving your head specifically to be less attractive to men is pretty unfeminist?? That's still warping your perception of self around how men see you. When me and my best friend went to military training I kept my hair very short because it was easier to deal with, while she shaved her head completely. I remember our leadership genuinely thought she had a mental issue or something for shaving her head as a woman but she genuinely didn't want to deal with her hair while we were out in the field. Shaving your head as a women because you want it shaved and don't care about what society thinks is feminist, shaving it to be "unattractive" to men, is male-centric.
Disagree it was liberating and I’ve done it several times. I’ve shaved my head as a reaction to men, for myself, and had very long hair, it’s long now. I think everything is a conversation, so a response makes sense. Like you can choose not to communicate, engage with, or think about men, but it would still be a decision around men as a response to them.
Many women shave it so men will leave them alone and be less likely to objectify and sexualize them. It’s removing yourself from the male gaze because. The woman with alopecia in the video misunderstood that these women think shaved heads = ugly. Shaved heads and short hair don’t make you ugly, but men think it does. Men overwhelmingly prefer long hair and women’s hair has been something men sexualize. Shaving your hair off sends the message that you don’t conform to men’s ideas of sexualized beauty, you’re still beautiful even if men don’t find you sexually attractive anymore because beauty ≠ men wanting to bang you.
As many have said, the biggest problem with this video is that it lumps all groups of progressives together. The examples given in this video are the fringe version of "progressiveness".
@@Alltherestofus Sure, broadly speaking being progressive means wanting to change the way society is currently shaped. Leftist progressive means being pro-social reform, i.e. universal healthcare, equal gender pay, pro worker rights, racial and gender equity, anti-capitalism etc. The examples in the video essay skirt the definition of progressiveness, because they barely mentioned the above issues.
@onepartyroule oh yes for sure, let's use a simple rule that the Buddhists, Muslims, Christians and most moral people belive, the golden rule, "treat others as you wish to be treated" as long as you follow that you are insane but still have a moral framework
@onepartyroule I could theoretically have a relationship with an app, but as long as I follow a moral framework my insanity doesn't negatively effect anyone, therefore good insanity
This was somewhat of a tough listen, and I’m a progressive who is not a swiftie or brat (just not my thing, to each her own), nor did I shave my head. I don’t have social media presence so I only talk to friends & colleagues about politics. But you make a few solid points here & I appreciate your take. I think parts of the 4B+ movement (since it’s growing, sometimes called 7B, etc) are practical - such as choosing to avoid supporting businesses run by misogynistic figures, and essentially voting/protesting with your wallet. But as soon as I heard about total abstinence from men, like not speaking to them, I knew it’s not sustainable. And I can’t get behind something that’s just a flash in the pan. Even as a single woman in my mid 30s - childfree and cat-having - I know lashing out emotionally about some of the garbage being spewed by the extremists online is tempting. I get it, I was distraught upon hearing the results. I have since come to understand how we got to this place, so it’s about acceptance & doing better (differently) on the progressive side, like you said. But it’s not going to move people’s hearts for online movements to stay niche & only online. Then it’s just continuation of an echo chamber. Having also been laid off 2 years in a row, I get why the economy is a focal issue, and why many didn’t bother to/didn’t have the energy to do much research. My ongoing employment struggles kept me too exhausted to be as involved as I wanted to be. Many simply voted for the other party, thinking the one in charge now is the one who got us to this economic state. Mistaking trump’s acquisition of a reasonable economy from Obama in 2020 as that having been Trump’s/the Republicans’ doing. It wasn’t. But people don’t realize that. The pandemic clearly affected us, but the ongoing inflation (greed-flation) by corporations under the pretense of ongoing supply shortages even in 2023? We know that’s BS. But both Dems & Republicans (in office) love corporations. So neither did much to curb this. Those same people voted blue down the ballot. But red for president. Various states voted to protect abortion & raise wages, increase benefits for middle class workers. They still care about progressive issues, but want to stop struggling, so they swung the pendulum away from the party they blamed. It’s not trump they were voting for, so much as perceived (and real) democratic failure they were voting against. Understanding that helps me to grasp why he got the popular vote.
Love the point you made about trump inheiriting a good economy. Been saying that for years and it makes me feel crazy sometimes that no one else talks about it
I appluad you for listening to something that might be critical of your beliefs. As a guy, while I don't agree, I try to listen to points against the patriarchy and men for the same reason. It isn't easy, but hearing others is always a net benefit. Even if it's just to hear potential arguments you can't agree with. I personally didn't vote Dem (I voted for Afroman) because they SEEM to pander more and promise more during election cycles than others and leave those promises for the next time they need them instead of fullfilling them. (Kamala said she would legalize MJ, and I think that's the most universally backed idea currently, but they won't just do it now) I think the problem with online discourse is that the most radical opinions get clicks and views. As an Atheist, I've heard a ton of wild things said by online Christians and apologists, I would hate Christians if Frank Turek was the only one I knew or heard speak on his religion. In reality, my entire family and even my best friend (Godfather to my children) are church going, Bible believing Christians. We get along great and have enough mutual respect to even speak for hours on religion while still remaining good friends. They would never speak down to me or act like online apologists do because that isn't normal behavior. We all get along more than we don't, the problems come from first trying to separate ourselves by the things we dislike vs what we equally enjoy. 2 different raced racists, might get along in a comment section over beer or sports. If they start there they can build a bridge, if they start on race they never will. 🤙
I don't think 4Bers really need to follow every single idea. Surely there must be room to do what works for you. And if it doesn't cater specifically to LGBTQ+ persons or persons with alopecia, maybe it doesn't need to. People really need to be more discerning.
So I shouldn’t buy stocks in cat food because this is a fad, seriously though very nice to see critical thinking and a reasonable take, I think also there attitude alienated a large block of voters they are out of touch with regular people
Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the fortunate, while inflicting costs on the unfortunate. The core component of a luxury belief is that the believers are sheltered from the consequences of their belief. While President Trump can afford to have many luxury beliefs, he prefers not to. And THAT is probably why he won the election.
_"I think they don’t understand people: their motivations, their aspirations, their values, or their limits."_ They don't understand much of anything, since objective reality isn't a part of their world view. They are ivory tower "intellectuals" who want to project their book knowledge onto reality. Understanding people requires observing reality first and changing your beliefs second. Arrogant elitists can't do that. That's why a lot of Democrats are resorting to: _"the voters chose Trump because they are stupid."_
As much as I find the women coopting the 4b movement to be annoying I think it is silly to suggest these women are harming bald women. There have always been extreme political/ ideological assumptions tied to women with shaved heads. Prior to the election if you were a woman with a bald head and did not look visibly ill most people would assumed that you were some form of punk/ skinhead or that you were going though a mental issue. Any woman that shaves her head to ward off straight men is not insulting bald women - that charge falls on all people that make a big deal out of women shaving their heads.
Because the women shaving their heads are doing so under the premise that doing so makes them unattractive, this was stated in the video. I would conjecture it is also akin to appropriating a disability, as the women being harmed suffer from Alopecia.
@@carrotbo9 Men don't shave their heads because they are trying to make themselves be perceived as unattractive to others. This is what makes this problematic for women with Alopecia. If anything, men get told bald is sexy.
You really downplay abortion being a concern with a trump presidency. women in america have already died in greater numbers since Roe was removed. That IS the context.
I think her whole female incel video showed us more about her than we realised. The focus of this video just shows that she is despite her education lacking in the human/social/empathy aspect of being intelligent
What's also left out is the fact that women are being abandoned by doctors after having miscarriages because they're afraid of being charged for it. Many Christians who were in Trump's side turned around because of that fact. It's more than just an abortion issue.
Women are dying because of medical negligence, not because of abortion laws. It is also already FEDERAL LAW that doctors must stabilize a person in the emergency room. Every state prolife law on the books right now has exceptions for the life of the mother. If a doctor is choosing to not treat a woman, it is because they are either incompetent or trying to push an agenda.
What they're forgetting is that women who are married, in long term relationships, and/or have children have very different priorities than single 20 somethings. And that is a very big part of the divide in how women voted. I bet even single moms think this movement is stupid (even if they probably broke for Democrats this election).
I would be curious to see who single mothers ended up going for overall. I’m a single mom, and I know several other single moms, and while this is clearly anecdotal, the majority went for Trump. Because as you say, women who are mothers have VERY different priorities than young single childless women. It is impossible to overstate how much having a child changes most women’s perspective and life. I know plenty of women who were very progressive and leftist before motherhood who shifted right and more conservative afterward.
@@pianokeys71 Is your area more or less Republican than the rest of the country? According to CNN"s exit poll, married women were Trump +3 and unmarried women were Harris +21. That's actually a better performance with unmarried women than in past elections. I suspect single moms would be somewhere in between married moms and unmarried childless women, but perhaps the gap with married moms is shrinking. I would be curious about a more detailed breakdown though - I suspect a lot of married boomer women who's children are now adults are voting Democrat while Gen X moms who's kids are still in school and in the household are voting much more Republican. Like what are the differences between various combinations in terms of relationship and parenting situations. Married women, cohabitating women, single women Women with children that left the house, women with children still in the household, women without children.
@@pianokeys71If you don't mind, can you expand further on that? I would guess it's for economic reasons or the state of the US education system, but I'm not a mother
@@spookyjones6577 I also would like to know how motherhood makes you want to vote for Epstein's closest friend with multiple allegations against him/ must be hormones right
@@spookyjones6577 I’d like to avoid biological essentialism. BUT from my observation, I think women are wired to be cooperative with different groups of people for survival. So, we tend to adopt group concerns as personal concerns. But mothers are more wary of different groups and prioritize the survival of their children above the survival of outside people. Suddenly, the concept of community issues and identity politics outside of the family become less important since we literally get a new identity once we marry. Tbh, this is what makes women a bit less reliable and unpredictable when it comes to politics.. Just my opinion.
Kidology, I'm begging you: please talk to intersectional leftists 😭 You're covering everything we've talked about for years about liberals: the condescending attitude, lack of class consciousness, everyyyything 😭 Edit(s? Still watching): 11:56 this part is going to force me to reread Dialectic because this seems like a really bad distillation to even trrryyyy to connect Shulamith's analysis to Americanized "4B" 16:10 sis, this is giving Fox News but I don't know how to feel about it as a leftist lol: you're using the most UNHINGED minority of a minority ("4B" appropriating Americans and then the even smaller portion of them shaving their heads). On the one hand, you're using a very small fringe group to clown liberals and give an example of the flaws in their logic/the larger group. I can't STAND the harm liberals cause with their ignorance, but using a small fringe group as part of your critiques against the general group isn't a useful strategy. You have so many other grounded arguments. 38:27 Girl, I'm exhausted and disappointed by the bulk of the video. Once you started mentioning 4B it got derailed. In short: I love most of your videos (especially the ones from this year) but PLEASE consult leftists before clowning liberals in future videos. It's literally their favorite past time and why they're NEVER interviewed on live TV lol. This is giving under-researched smug pandering rather than the rigor we're used to from you. I know you identified as "apolitical" in a previous vid, but this seems to be pandering to moderates with similar labels instead of a deep dive like you usually produce.
@@ClementineDaydreamAre you a leftist? Gauging how genuine the question is tbh. Edit, saw at least 2 people might have the same question: In leftist spaces, there are A LOT of people (usually men) who say that we should only focus on class consciousness/class-based struggles and that solving these issues will fix everything else. Seriously. "Intersectional leftists" vary a lot, but in general they use the same theories as the first group as a foundation for exploration of class struggles while also acknowledging the need to address other intersections related to sexism, ableism/disableism, etc. There is A LOT of diversity, but that's the gist of why someone would add "intersectional" to the label of "leftist". Angela Davis's writings are a good example of intersectional leftist work.
She did and when she came with logical arguments but essentally they put their fingers jn their ears and shouted lalalalalala! She could try gain though. Kidology has a mix of left and right opinions. She is progressive within reason. It is the left that is in a purity spiral. They only talk to people who think excactly like them.
OMG, yes, 100000 times YES! Thank you! I'm a sub for over a year and I'm unsubbing due to this video. She's 'both sides have good people, I'm sure' about h8 movements and fascism gaining traction in the US.
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 This is the exact reason people who would normally be considered left-leaning are now, more than ever before, being pushed further and further right. Saying "there are no good people on the right" is equivocal to "people who disagree with me = fascist," and it's tiring. It's really tiring. You've already convinced yourself that your political opponent is nothing but evil, and clearly there's no convincing you otherwise, when you're so quick to shut out any dissenting voices, like Kidology.
The same thing will happen with any meaningful crackdown on immigration, the American economy is built on the assumption that their will always be people from an impoverished/wartorn country that are willing to do low wage work.
Yes it will cost the consumer more on certain goods. However food is mostly produced locally or with countries we have good ties with already. The aim is to promote growth in our own economy by pressuring companies who want to sell in america into producing those goods locally to avoid tariffs. That in turn would put pressure on companies to fight over workers and raise wages to be competitive and thus the avg worker would gain way more than the tariffs would cost them on avg.
@opdinkleberg7078 Bless your heart, the domestic agriculture industry is only possible because of all the immigrants Trump wants to deport, so the price of domestically grown agricultural products will increase. Also because of competition domestic businesses will simply just raise their prices because other companies that ship imported goods have to raise their prices. It’s not just one thing that Trump is doing it’s the combination that is deeply detrimental to the US economy
On the election day, some wise guy already said "Just wait until Trump voter found out that inflation is higher" This video kinda fails the argument because Trump would actually make economy WORSE. (I'm welcomed to be corrected if I was misinformed, I'm not American and this topic is hard to research)
17:59 no one said you can’t be beautiful without hair. It’s common knowledge that most men prefer the beauty standard of long hair. People are also shaving their hair short and not bold?
Yeah this negative response is very fragile. Society regularly equates hair with female beauty which is why bald wome have to "work hard" to "come to a place" where they can "accept" their baldness and "feel" beautiful. I get that it's hard to see women go bald as a statement if you were not able to chose your baldness but it's not like hair growth is distributable resource and it's very controlling to say that somone can't shave their head just because you have a hair loss condition.
Sorry...but as a man... Bald females, look masculine. Masculine females, turn off /disgust Men. Even Bald men, are not considered that attractive, by most men and females. Furthermore... MOST men do in fact, prefer woman with long hair, for the same exact reason. It does not matter what any female.. "FEELS" about this factual data. Its simply the Truth... and it will Never Change. Its hardwired into our very Biology. No amount of Radical Brainwashing, is going to make men like hyper masculine females. If I was a Bald Female, the first thing Id do, is to get a good wig made. Also, I tend to believe, that the rise in Females that have higher hairlines, and or are going Bald, is largely due to eating too much Hydrogenated Fats/Oils. Its clogging up the circulation channels, and causing the roots to d!e. Other things like Chemicals in shampoos, chemicals in processed foods, stress levels, lack of enough nutrients, mild food allergies (causing a lack of nutrient absorption), and higher stress levels... could also be part of it. I also believe... that Radicals have been Injecting Male Hormones, into females (jabs)... and, or... into certain key Female-Only products (like in Female Deodorants, Female hair products, and maybe even pads/tampons). Likewise, I believe they have been Feminizing males, similarly. This is why you see the sharp rise of Gay and Feminine males, and Gay and Masculine + Deeper voiced.. females.
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 u dont understand human nature. Men and women do seek validation from each other. if we try to step out that beauty standard we tend to be depress,. look at depression rate of women who are unconventional attract to men. its not perk to be ugly
i initially gave this video a like because i liked the point you made. people with marginalized identities have a right to think what they want. but you didnt really build on that, and upon reading the comments, i realize that you have a weird pattern of centrism. okay, people can have different opinions, and? where do we go from here? what point are you trying to make? this isnt the first time you've pointed out flaws in the left. i actually thought your vid on performative activism was eye opening! but are you being any better than the people you critique if there's no new suggestions brought to the table? youre right, marginalized people dont owe anyone anything (at least thats one point i gathered from this video), but you can still acknowledge and criticize people who choose to support politicians who are actively going against them! this "lets agree to disagree" mindset does not work if anyone wants actual change. you lightly toasted a piece of bread without adding any topping. you posted the peak of an iceberg without diving underneath. saying "nuance exists" is such a "yes, and?" statement nowadays because EXPLAIN THE NUANCE. What do we DO with the nuance. i liked where you were going in this video more than where you went. say. something. different.
Nope, you are just not used to listening to a free thinker. Many view both the left and the right as absurd and toxic. If you are looking for a confirmation-biased type of commentator, this channel is not for you.
Nuance for me is the economy was a big factor yes but to pretend that this country’s long history of white supremacy and the rise of the Alpha male movement and Qanon conspiracies do not play a role in people’s decision making is frankly foolish. I’m Latin American, I have family members and friends that voted for Trump and if anyone knows her people, its gonna be me. here’s nuance for you, Latin Americans are extremely religious and value traditional values. Since we are young we are taught that the end of the world is near and the state of the world is the way that it is because God is no longer in the government and we have desecrated God’s perfect design by destroying the nuclear family; now women think they are above men, now men sleep with men, etc etc. Latin Americans voted because of these religious dogmas and justify Trump by pointing out how God chose sinners to be his apostles. I also feel like she’s conflating how prolific these “progressive” issues are. She’s referencing a lot of social media things that uh if I’m being honest doesn’t reflect people in the real world at all?? Like the most I’ve heard is about the 4B movement and its mostly women saying that they aren’t gonna have sex with any man unless he supports women’s rights and isn’t a trump supporter which like… yeah I’d hope everyone chooses their partners based on whether they respect them or not???
What exactly would you want to change? Like, that question alone can be overwhelming, but, for example, pick two things you think would be worth it. What would you think we could do to make effective change? How fast do you think it could go?
Co-opting a movement is bad, especially when that movement lacks context. However, many of the women I know take issue with the way the men who voted for Trump attempt to verbally excuse the way Trump talks about women or the crimes he has actually committed against women. (He was found liable for SA. The Jury was split and found him liable for a lesser degree of SA) Its hard to believe someone cares about women when they want to excuse sexual assault to justify their own vote regardless of why they voted. Multiple things can be true at once. I consider myself more center when it comes to politics I see right and wrong on both sides. I absolutely believe in equality but I'm not going to shave my head. I like Taylor swift but that has nothing to do with my politics. I don't have a difficult time understanding why women feel so strongly about having a man who talks and acts the way Trump does represent them in the world.
@@reedy_9619 He personally denies all allegations. Most that made it to court ended up being settled out of court. The most notable case was of E. Jean Carroll who said Trump raped her in 1996. Trump was found guilty of sexual abuse as well as defamation by a jury. Carroll received $5 million based on these convictions. Due to some legalese, the conviction fell short of rape, but a sexual abuse conviction was undeniable.
How exactly should men explain it then? Or, even better, why should they explain their vote at all? Voting is a private matter. You have no right to inquire about other peoples' voting habits. Why do many women support Harris when she locked up thousands of thousands of innocent people in her role as DA of California? Probably because you let that slide, focusing on the positive things she wanted to do as president. Which you're in the right to do. Men who vote Trump think the same way, and have the exact same right. We all do. No candidate is perfect, they all have flaws, and sometimes it can be difficult to articulate why you let their dark sides slide. And that's okay. Do Harris voters not care about Palestinians because Harris never explicitly supported them? Do Harris voters owe Palestinians an explanation for why they voted Harris? Do they owe that explanation to the thousands of innocent (mostly minorities btw) who were put in federal prison for minor drug offences in a state that has since legalized? No, of course not. Because the world doesnt work that way, and neither should it, because we'd be here all day. As you say, multiple things can be true at once.
@reedy_9619 He often says legitimately horrible things about women. Examples. "I'm going to protect the women whether they like it or not", "Grab em' by the p*ssy". He's been accused by multiple women of groping and forcible contact. He has said "Women let me do what I want because when you're rich they just let you". He talks about how sexy his daughter is and said "If she werent my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her." The man has absolutely no respect for women. He also talks about women like they're inherently unintelligent most of the time. There are exceptions if those women work for him or agree with / validate him.
People aren't that great at following timelines. Obama got really close to fixing Bush's economy, so most of its first term was under those policies. Its policies went into effect during Biden term, making that administration look wildly incompetent
It’s rhetoric mostly. There’s nothing more American than worshipping salt of the earth middle country wisdoms but frankly they’re just not as tapped in. Whether that’s because they’re less likely to read as an outcome of their job or their job is an outcome of them reading less who knows. The demographics and data don’t lie.
Most ppl didn't vote FOR Trump, but against Biden (Harris is just female Biden in most ppl view). For those that do like Trump, they're usually just desperate poor white people that hope and pray that he'll live up to revitalizing manufacturing. It's a far-flung hope, but i get it. No one is doing anything for the rust belt and Appalachia at all in pop media, but at least Trump speaking to their concerns with a tangible plan. (You'll probably argue that Dems have presented policies that could help, and you're right, but those policies don't make headlines).
4 years under Trump saw immense economic growth. We had jobs coming back to the country, illegal immigration was down, people were earning and spending more. There were tons of privately owned business popping up. A lot of black Americans starting up their own small businesses. Then Biden got into office, undid everything, printed a ton of money and in 4 years we went from an economic boom to a full on recession. The people who claim there was no growth do so because CNN or MSNBC told them so. Not because they looked it up or looked for the numbers and studies themselves. Of course, they'll tell you that it's the other side who is ignorant.
I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking this video missed the mark a bit. I was thinking maybe I was just overly defensive but seeing the comments made me feel better 😂😂😂😂
15:11 As a Middle eastern woman, this is the first time I feel like you derived away from your approach so far. Our struggles are not a baton to be used against other women and I hope you keep the same sympathy you have for many other, for us as well.
I'd advise you to read "the myth of the Patriarchy in Iran", the idea that women in the Middle East are somehow more oppressed than men is absurd. Islam silences women, but it beheads men.
Thank you. I was genuinely confused about this point because "...where did this come from???" It reminds me of this short my Amala Ekpunobi that brought up middle eastern issues as a reason as to why women shouldn't be mourning the election results. It's so weird. Because girlie, you living in a society. These rights can easily, so so SO easily be taken away if you aren't afraid of losing them. Invalidating American women like this for what?
THANK YOU! It's really actually reprehensible to use the fact others have less rights to argue therefore we should stop struggling to advance human rights.
@@MorenaDeRena Exactly. I argued about that in her discord server. Conservatives dgaf about the plight of women in MENA every other second of the year, keep that energy.
I disliked Trump's demagoguery and antics from the start, and didn't voted for him in 2016 or 2020. That being said, I'd have considered myself democratic 20 years ago, but I've been called self-hating and every brand of ist and phobe available over the last 5 years, mostly from the left. I am exactly the kind of voter these spoiled women (and some men, too) with luxury beliefs have pushed away.
There is a simple solution to all this: have more OFFLINE political conversations. People often present themselves as more polarized in online circles because there's no perceived consequence for their words and actions. Talking face-to-face with people eliminates that perception because, well, they're right there in front of you.
I voted Harris for abortion rights. Women have died or have been made infertile in states with more restrictive laws, due to the doctor having to wait to remove a miscarriage. I never vote based on the economy since politicians on both sides are bribed by the same companies.
At some point during the video she minimizes the issue of abortion. Certainly hard to stomach when women in my area have actually died as a direct result of Trump's first term efforts to limit said access.
Oh and my comment is gone. I repeat that US will see the rise of Islam and your people will be saved. Soon around 50 million Muslims will live in US and will help you with not killing children. Your children will be finally safe.
@@YomiokaI'm wondering if shes projecting a bit here, most libs and progressives arent this loud angry mob. She sounds like another misinformed angry trump voter trying to lash out. I dont blame all of the Republicans for being ignorant enough on topics to vote for him. Hell I think most of them knew what they did, they were simply sexist, or racists.
Good points, but the abortion thing... even if you voted for trump for other reasons and not for the abortion, you still voted for someone who potentially could make abortions illegal.
@@adamjebediah It was not up to the states prior to him, it was a constitutional right. Now more than half the country has lost it. And you still ride for him? Pathetic.
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972it’s not a constitutional right, never has been. Anything that is not specifically enumerated in the constitution is left up to the states. If TX wants to ban abortion, that’s their prerogative; just like if NY or CA wants to permit abortion through all 9 months, that’s their prerogative as well.
Hi Kidology--I'm a longtime fan of your content and I'm not dramatic enough to unsubscribe but I do think this take is a bit off the mark. As an American, I can absolutely admit there for sure is a population of infuriating progressives (FD Signifier DID lose my subscription with his arrogant & unfair treatment of you) but the moral reasons why half the country are so vehemently opposed to Trump aren't just elitist, out of touch concerns who don't like him just because he's an asshole. You mentioned that the rest of the world would rather have the US remain a superpower compared to the other authoritarian countries waiting in the wings, but how do you reconcile that feeling when the incoming president is an out and loud admirer of authoritarian dictatorships? It's easy to boil down the choice of Trump due to economics, but economics is often the driving force that puts dangerous leaders in power. But morality aside, the most frustrating claim about choosing Trump for economic reasons because a Trump presidency has no significant, if any, financial benefits for lower/middle class, but the truth of that gets buried by the hysterics and lies coming from either sides of the aisle. The YT progressive cohort have been extremely unfair towards you and twist your takes around while patting themselves on the back and if seeing that as a viewer is infuriating, I can only imagine how painful receiving that treatment could be. But if I may be so bold to say I think the schadenfreude of seeing progressives get their back kicked is clouding the perception of how actually threatening a Trump presidency can be to basic civil liberties less than a century old, and reducing it to a difference of priorities is a concerningly simplistic take. There are other major social factors that drove a wedge between America that I think you would find fascinating to explore in a deep dive, but this take barely scratches the surface of America's division problem and how social media fuels that.
Democrats are the ones attacking free speech and Gavin Newsom is trying to get rid of anti discrimination laws so they’re the ones attacking civil rights
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 Kidology has been unfairly demonized by YT progressives so I don't blame her for bring hyper aware how sanctimonious behavior contributed to this election result. But any real change for a more democratic world doesn't happen when people shut out those who's perspectives don't perfectly align. You are within your right to walk away to protect your mind & spirit if this content hurts you; but yes, for me that's a dramatic response in regards to Kidology's content. Both things can be true 🤷🏽♀
You claiming that shaving your head is in some ways harmful for women who are bald due to some illness is absolutely ridiculous. Shaving your head bald is 100% harmless. It is just a hairstyle, nothing radical.
@@IrradiatedFeline so it doesn't seem that Kidology doesn't at all agree with the point despite adding it into her video (for whatever reason, what's the point then? To uplift the voice of a single bald woman or just food for thought?)?
I'm a black American female liberal. I've never voted in any election but I did this year. I'm amongst the 7-9% of black women who voted for Donald Trump. I voted for him for multiple reasons. Women's rights: Not abortion because I don't feel like that's being taken away. I do think that the whole trans ideology and gender ideology has nearly ruined our lives. Men who were mediocre in their own male sport pretending to be women and suing anyone who questions it. The Olympics were the last straw for me. Men's mental Health: Men in general have been treated poorly in everyday life and in most media. They've been told they don't matter and that they don't deserve anything. Like it or not men and women need each other and misandry won't help. The Left in general: The left has been perverted into this authoritarian smug cesspit. I consider myself liberal and I'm all for helping the underdog if I feel they've been dealt a bad hand. The underdogs are the working class that are mostly conservatives and moderates. The way that they have been talked down to and treated is vile. Entertainment/Video games: My own side has completely ruined entertainment. I cannot play or watch anything without some on the nose politics shoved in my face. Or having the creator and actors go on some unhinged rant about politics. Changing history to fit people my skin color or darker just to "Own the Chuds". Education: Children should not be in a class surrounded by multiple pride flags and gender ideology in their classrooms. Colleges should not be brain washing students into insufferable SJW. Most people don't even want to attend college if they're on the right which spits in the face of freedom. As a liberal? I'm always willing to hear the other side of the political aisle as well as my own. But Democrats and so called liberals have made it completely impossible to have any type of dialogue with them. So yes the 33 year old black female liberal who's childfree autistic and a gamer voted for Trump.
When Dems lost they looked at the common American and told them they were wrong and they need to do better. Im not a Republican but I voted trump. The average person screamed for 4 years that we wanted change. Kamala said nothing would change and that sealed my choice
There are a few things that bother me about how people talk about the election. 1) Voter turnout is rarely taken into account. It is dishonest to say X% of Y group voted for Z candidate unless those stats. take into account all of the voting eligible members of that group (this includes people who did not vote and those that went 3rd party). 2) Pundits and party insiders seem to have an incorrect understanding of how moderate voters operate.They assume that moderates are looking for some sort of average between the liberal and conservative view on every issue, In reality moderates have conservative views on some issues and liberal views on other issue - this is why they are swing voters. They do not have views that neatly fit into either party's ideology. 3) Too much time has been spent on looking at the preferences and opinions of voting groups that are either too numerically insignificant (never Trump Republicans + hard left activists) or too unreliable (people under 35).
American white lady millennial here- Zadie Smith’s interview with Ezra Klein made a lot of sense when she talked about people advocating against their interest to spite the system that doesn’t listen to them. That rings true here
@@Pangaea83 but how many people were even doing that? 38% of eligible voters didn't even vote meaning Trump is only supported by 31% of the voting population with Kamala accounting for 30%.
While I agree with most of the points made in the video, your comment about women in Afganistan is just disappointing and embarrassing. This is a classical case of “whataboutism”. What can progressives in the US can do about gender apartheid in a country halfway around the world? And why would they be thinking about it while going into elections deciding the faith of women’s rights in America? Why do those have to be compared in the first place? To say that the issues American women go through are not “serious enough”? Dying because of the bureaucratic hell abortion ban created sounds pretty serious. Trans kids k*ll*ng themselves is pretty serious. Migrants (including legal ones) being threatened deportation back to the countries where they are not safe is pretty serious. It’s not like progressives care about some minor, insignificant issues. They’re just more niche, which makes them a bad case for campaign ads, and not relatable to the majority of the population. This is a marketing campaign issue. It has to be addressed, and other more general topics have to be at the forefront of the Democratic Party if they want to get enough support. They are preoccupied by identity politics, and it’s a failing strategy. But we also have to understand that there’s a reason for that. When one party says “X group is evil, we’ll deprive them of rights”, the opposing party can’t just ignore that. It takes a couple of minutes debunk each momentary hateful take, and bigots use it to their advantage. While progressives are busy putting out flames of hatred by talking and talking and talking, bigots get to “focus on the real issues” and make it look like bigotry is just a small part of their discourse. But it absolutely isn’t.
American women aren't losing their rights. Legal immigrants are not being targeted. Just have the baby and give it up for adoption. Or hand it over to the state. Or don't get pregnant until you are with the right guy. Abortions have been weaponized by the Democratic Party to target minority women and 99% of them are done for financial reasons. If you are having an abortion for financial reasons, then you should not be allowed to open up your legs. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should do it... And that trans issue has always been a thing.
@@AlltherestofusHow many times does Trump have to say he s not doing anything about abortion and is leaving it up to the states? When will you get that through your thick heads.
@@beefybitcoin8085how many times will he and his Project 2025 cohorts have to tell you that they support that plan and will do all they can to enforce a federal law against abortion and birth control, before you get it through you thick, illiterate skull? NEWSFLASH! They.do.not.want.to.leave.it.to.states.anymore.
I think people in The UK don't always realise that terms like 'leftist', 'liberal' and 'progressive' seem to have quite different meanings in The US. I mean, imagine thinking Biden or Harris are 'progressive' or that Bernie is "far left".
i guess its because the average social media democrat that kamala catered to is a liberal. and she is talking about them. being liberal does not mean you are right wing per say. you can harbor left wing views while identifying as a liberal. but I do think that liberalism at the core is not the solution we need as it does not solve the class conflict that is constantly over shadowed over culture wars and identity politics these days. liberalism at its core (IMO) is not progressive as it only pushes for progress in an individual liberty basis.
Why are you purposely downplaying the fact that abortion has been done illegal in several US states? That kind of stuff doesn't happen in a progressive civilized country. You sound like you actually support Trump.
@@spookyjones6577moving isn't always that easy for everyone. you know people have jobs and school and friends etc. but also moving can be expensive or just difficult if you have some illness or mental health problems.
@@bloom156then stop F*cking around and finding out. How is it that hard. There’s a reason religious groups tell you not to have sex until you’re married.😊
I always chuckle at people who frame 4B as radical...it's just doing less things, lol. How is doing less stuff that does not serve you going out of your way? All the women I know who are actually doing it, are very chill, they just have hobbies and lives and cool jobs and less stress. I think it says a lot about how male centered our world still is that just not thinking about men all the time makes one extreme.🤣
I wonder if the “radical” aspect about it is how it’s presented by these folks online. Why not just live your life and not advertise this as some kind of “movement” and encouraging other women to join you.
They need to show their anger about it. Lash out. SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! Totally not extrinsically motivated lol. The same way as most mgtow are bitter.
I think most men want women to have lower body counts, especially if they want life partners, so in the end they are just doing what the majority of men went.
@@ClementineDaydream Ummm, literally all of Western society is a movement encouraging women to join up, get married and have kids. It's entirely fine to go, in response, 'ummm, I chose different, and I like my choice'. Not seeing how all of society propagandizes marriage and kids for women 24/7, is like a fish who doesn't see water.
I find it hilarious how much centrism drives some people on the left nuts, it would seem the nuance is something they cannot abide by because it doesn't buy into the, "agree with me or you're a fascist" attitude, the amount of people begrudged over Kidology's take In the comments over this is bemusing.
What’s frustrating to me is that people who wanted change voted for the candidate who was already president and failed to deliver on change and who we voted out over a candidate who hasn’t been president yet.
Kamala wasnt president. Vice presidents dont actually do much besides act as ambassadors to other countries and a few things within the country. It is mostly a "break in case of emergency" pick in case the actual president is unable to serve.
She was vice president and hasn’t said what she’d do differently to Biden. The excuse with Trump is that the democrat controlled senate blocked a lot of his policies
A vice president isn't the president they do not set policy they do not have any real power. They're a glorified consultant l. I do not understand how anyone who took a govt class in high school does not know this.
In what way was Harris more so? Her only demographics of large scale support were young single women, college educated professionals and black/Hispanic women. Collectively still a smaller proportion of the population (hence why she got fewer votes). Most people in America don’t actually go to university/college and those that do seem to always forget that they’ve been in a minority bubble not representative of the public.
Seeing liberals/leftists getting mad in the comments only shows how little awareness they have. Also the ire they had towards different minority groups after the election only shows that their “intersectionality” was never genuine and that ideology, to them, reigns supreme above all else. It’s why I stopped calling myself a democrat/liberal after 2016 and have been voting third party since. I never want to align myself with condescending bigots on the left just like how I don’t want to align with overt bigots on the right. The smugness of the left towards minority groups that didn’t vote for Harris was nothing short of vomit-inducing. I didn’t even vote for Trump but I “get” (and I use that term very loosely) why ppl would. Many ppl voted Trump as a middle finger to the Democratic Party and its supporters, as retribution for democrats thinking they’re owed support from minorities. But whatever, this message will fall on deaf ears and they’ll continue to brow beat everyone with their virtue-signaling, making everyone else the problem while making zero time for introspection. It’ll just be the same thing if they lose in 2028 👌🏾
It’s basically the same for me. I hate the intolerance towards minorities on the right just as much as I hate the intolerance of the left toward majorities and political dissidents.
These people are EXACTLY why we all vote for Trump! Literally i used to be a leftist, but the last 4 years sent me RUNNING over to the conservative side.
I think you are waaaaay off base. When discussing why people voted for Trump you point to general macro trends like the economy or a general pushback againsy wokeness/identity politics. But when you point to the behaviors of progressives you hyper focus on the very narrow group of people performatively grandstanding. Its the opposite of if I were to portray all Trump voters as Facists that want a monarchy of the Trump family.
These women are representative of the narrow group of people, white, privileged and college educated, who are the prevailing influence in the progressive movement, almost to the exclusion of everyone else. It is a tyranny of a minority who are embedded and/or control the most powerful social institutions: education, media and government. Anyone who publicly questions or dissents risks serious consequences including the loss of their job. Those consequences fall especially hard on other progressives. If you can't speak for yourself only way to counter the movement is by voting for someone who will speak and act on your behalf. The irony is that these women are emblematic of a movement that is doing the greatest harm to established women's rights. And because the cultural effects are so penetrating and pervasive, it's going to be difficult to restore them unscathed.
Everyone is talking about how they voted based on the economy, and I have not heard ONE person explain why they think Trump will make them personally any richer. For me to take these people at their word, their words would have to form a coherent cause and effect relationship. I think Americans vote based on vibes. That applies across the spectrum. We don’t understand or care about most policies that don’t have an immediate, simplistic effect on us personally, and largely don't bother to do any research on subjects before we vote for them. We either go with our political tribe or we make a choice based on the personality of the candidate. When we need to logically justify that choice to someone, we throw out talking points that we don't really understand in a desperate bid to not sound stupid. But we are stupid. We're ignorant, self-centered, idoitic people who elect ignorant, self-centered, idiotic leaders. We are a nation of willfully uneducated, anti-intellectual people that largely don't know what they're talking about, who throw a temper tantrum when someone correctly points out that we don't know what we're talking about. If Trump had a consistent advantage, it's that manipulating foolish people isn't a question of cunning, but of shamelessness. It's about how low you're willing to bring yourself. Is there something important enough that you aren't willing to lie about it? Do you feel the need to make only promises you can keep? Is there a corner of your soul that you wouldn't sell for a vote? If so, you're fighting an uphill battle against an opponent who will always, without fail, say what he thinks people want to hear. And because Americans are monumental idiots, most of us don’t pay close enough attention to catch liars like Trump. They are sufficiently distracted by his false promises. So long as Americans are unwilling to make decisions on the basis of evidence, we're fucked.
I'm voting for trump because the economy was better when he was in office. Kamala has basically said she'd do the same shit as Biden, and shit sucks under Biden
@@spookyjones6577 You don't think those things might have something to do with factors outside the president's control? Like the war in Ukraine, or the backlash from the pandemic? Biden inherited a plague ridden nation. I can't really say more because the problem you're outlining is so vague. Sucks how?
I've also heard that during and after the pandemic, we had a record number of incumbent parties in countries all around the world losing the elections in their countries, and being replaced by other parties, no matter if the ruling party in any of these countries was left or right leaning. Basically, a lot of people around the world aren't informed enough, they just saw prices increasing and the inflation happening, didn't connect it to covid, but blamed whatever party was in power in their country, and voted them out. It even happened in my country in Europe, after having one party winning elections for 30 years, they were replaced at the end of covid. A lot of people (especially Americans) somehow don't realize that the pandemic and the resulting inflation happened in almost every country in the entire world, no matter which party was in power. What's also interesting, when it comes to the US, the US had the best and the fastest recovery from inflation out of all the countries with developed economies (G7), and that happened under Biden. Plus I have to add that I've heard that Trump, at the beginning of the covid pandemic, called Putin and asked him to decrease the production of oil for the next two years, which caused gas prices to increase dramatically.
I also want to add a quote that I've heard from John Oliver (I think, and I'm paraphrasing): "Trump lies so constantly, that you can pick and choose which things you believe he believes, so you can create in your head an ideal version of him that aligns perfectly with your own beliefs." For example, when it comes to abortion, whichever side you believe on that issue, you can find quotes from Trump that align with your own beliefs, one day he says: "I'm the biggest supporter of abortion rights, I will fight for your right to abortion if I win the election", but another day he says: "I'm the biggest pro-life supporter, I'm the one who appointed judges who overturned Roe v Wade, and I will ban abortion if I win the election". So if you support abortion rights, you will focus only on the first quote, and when asked about the second quote, you will say: "he doesn't actually believe that, he's being hyperbolic", while if you're anti-abortion, you will focus on the second quote, while ignoring the first one. And you can do that for each one of your beliefs, since he's full of contractions, and especially if you don't focus on his policies or if you're not informed about what he has actually done in office, aka his actions, not his words, you can easily vote for him, or your ideal of him. And this ignorance to his policies is only supported by how many people, after the election, Googled: "What are tariffs?"
Current economic issues are the result of congress being unable/unwilling to meaningfully execute any of Biden's campaign promises while letting COVID releaf programs expire. The Dems have been operating under the false belief that they should not fight dirty or make use of the bully pulpit to get things done. Instead they believe that if enough "bipartisan" bills get blocked the public will eventually wake up to the problem of Republican obstruction. This of course is a bad idea because in the meantime people continue to struggle without any help.
The people I know who voted for Trump did so because he gave them hope. His message was “I care about all Americans, and I want to make things better for you.” Kamala’s message was “ I care about SOME Americans and my biggest priority is taking away individual state’s rights to regulate abortions.” A lot of women, myself included, want to see more resources for mothers instead of just abortion. Most abortions are from consensual acts and are down for economic reasons. A baby shouldn’t have to die just because their mother is poor.
What are you talking about?? Harris and Walz ran a centrist campaign saying they wanted to unite this country, drop the division and help the working class. Please show me sources where her verbiage excludes anyone?
Wrong. Kamala repeatedly said during the campaign she wanted to help create an economy that would benefit all Americans, and most abortions are done by women who already have kids, usually for medical necessity. Denying abortions to women especially life saving ones, just leaves children without their mother because pro natalists are selfish and greedy about forcing new-life through any woman's available womb, and don't care about the mother creating that life.
Lovedd this video. As an American woman of mixed race, I've always objectively sided with the minorities and marginalized people of my country and the entire world. Used to call myself a "Liberal" but its honestly just a different side of the same coin, the majority of "liberals" are just as hateful and ignorant as the conservatives. Watching the two-party system as I grew up, I've noticed it's all morphed into the same thing. I almost didn't vote in this election, but I remembered it is my duty as a citizen to do the research, educate myself, and help my country decide what it needs most. The unfortunate truth is everyone focuses on just the two parties, which have really become one. Then they don't consider any other options. This election year I voted for Kamala simply because I absolutely was terrified of Trump's foreign and domestic policies. In my opinion, as I felt myself backed into a corner to make a decision, I knew I hated Kamala's inability to properly address the war in the middle east and I hated that she so fervently said she will support Israel, and I absolutely do not trust anyone who is so militaristic and authoritative- that "I'm speaking. :)" thing she did almost made me throw my ballot away... I care a lot about what goes on in the world, what our politicians do, and how it makes us as citizens look. In the same hand, I knew Trump would love war, and perpetuate it as much as possible, while doing everything he can on our own soil to make us get more pregnant, stupid and poor, while him and all his buddies get more and more filthy rich. When you look at the states in my country that scored lowest in education, you'll notice they are all Red States that support Trump. The true problem in my country is ignorance. Ignorance breeds every single other evil that plagues my country, truly. Not to mention my country's sheer neglect of mental and emotional health and stigmatization of the entire field. So we have a bunch of ignorant mentally ill people running around and voting.... I wish I could say I was surprised but I'm not. Not all people who are ignorant are inherently hateful... but I do believe anyone who is inherently hateful is, in fact, ignorant. That's a lot of my country. Not all, but a lot.
Lols. What I love about this comment is the inability to self reflect. Imagine thinking yourself so highly by calling the majority ignorant. Have you ever have this thinking that maybe, maybe, if i think everyone around me is the problem, maybe I was the problem all along? Which part of foreign and domestic policy of trump exactly you find problematic that you’re so terrified of? 🤡
It doesn't seem like you educated yourself. Everything you said is leftist talking points. And if you hate Israel, then you should also hate Ukraine. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you support Ukraine and their Bandera loving nationalists.
Then act shocked they wont vote for you. You know what put my wife on a U turn. When a feminist called our at the time unborn son, a FUTURE GRAPIST. She never voted blue again.
Are you seriously getting annoyed that people are calling out some conservatives for being despicable humans? If you don't want us to call you out then stop being sexist and racist!
@@mitchelsnodgrass7028 The point is that the vast majority of conservatives are very accepting of people with different opinions while the liberals have a view that you either vote our way or you are sexist and racist with nothing to back that claim. I’ll even provide some examples: Trump has appointed an unprecedented number of women to top positions of power in his administration. Women that both sides agree are very capable (whether they agree with policy or not) On the issue of race, Trump has done more for the black community and all minorities than any other president: Opportunity Zones, the Envision centers he made possible with Steve Harvey and Ben Carson for inner cities, Prison Reform, the First Step Act, then championed the Platinum Plan with Ice Cube. He met with the founder of BET to discuss how he can improve what the government is doing to assist the black community. He was also the only president who gave historically black colleges long term funding of $250m a year when no other president would. Then Kamala took it away within her first 100 days in office. Black business and home ownership was all time high under Trump. Before he was president he gave black entrepreneurs loans when the banks wouldn’t. He sued the city of Palm Beach to allow blacks and Jews into his club. Some of the Black Lives Matter co-founders endorsed Trump. You would do you party and yourself a favor to find common ground to create a constructive conversation and then explain what changes you would like to see and why you feel that way as opposed to just attacks that clearly fall short of any impact on the discourse.
@gunnara6044 is your argument seriously that... racist and misogynistic people are not despicable, so we shouldn't call them out when they say horrible shit for the purpose of making women or minorities feel inferior? Why would we have disdain for working class citizens? I thought about listing a ton of policies and legislation that the democrats have passed over the past 20 years that helped the middle class, but I know you people think everything democrats do is bad and everything Trump does is good
4B movement sounds great. I wish more men would stop centering their personal value and worldview around whether they can get a gf or not. If women check-out, dudes will be forced to look inward and self-derive value. Win-win.
@dumfriesspearhead7398 Right. And the 4B thing won't gain any real traction either. Women have declared they'll swear off men in the 60's and 70's with "political lesbianism", and then again in 2016 and now again today. But does it ever grow or stick? No. So if we're going to live in fantasy land where humans stop being human, that's my take lol
I don't really think of it quite like that, it's just kind of a generalization. Sure most people have the same wants and all of them have the same needs but each person is different. I guess I don't take too much stock in categories of things
@@infamoustrader9119 Oh, the time honored tradition of calling a woman who doesn't want to sleep with you a slur. Cute, little buddy. She doesn't need to be a radical to say know to you sorts, she just needs to have eyes.
Honestly, i dont necessarily think of the shaving heads as "im ugly now" outright. Like, have you paid attn to how a LOT of men talk about women's hair choices? Theres a ton of men who think women must have long hair to be beautiful and anything on the shorter side is ugly and butch. Its a weird beauty standard that "it has to be long no matter what." I have thick hair that is heavy and cut it into a bob once a year or so and have multiple men lamenting when i do it. Its fucking weird!
I’m not old enough to vote yet, but if I were, I would’ve voted for Kamala. She’s incredibly far from a perfect candidate, but I do think that she’s the better option. Her economic policies are flawed, but they won the favor of 23 Nobel prize winning economists, and Trump’s proposed policies are more than questionable. Just looking at his cabinet picks has me wondering how his presidency is going to play out. On the topic of the 4B movement, I’m not sure American women realize the original purpose behind it. South Korea has the worst gender pay gap in the OECD. In 2016, the incidence of intimate partner violence was found to be 41.5%, compared to the global average of 30%. One of the biggest motivators for joining the movement was when the government launched a pink birth map visualizing the number of women of reproductive age in each district. It’s meant to tackle a wide variety of severe and prevalent issues. Also, the blue bracelet thing is shockingly stupid. As far as ‘saving democracy’ goes, democrats are failing almost as miserably as Trump supporters. The increasing political polarization of the United States is an issue we’re all too comfortable ignoring. America has chosen Trump as its next president. Prioritizing democracy means accepting those results. It’s fine to feel disappointed, perhaps even enraged, but shunning men and eager mothers will solve.. what, exactly? Performative activism at its finest. They’ll wear a blue bracelet and shave their head, but supporting local businesses and voting in state elections is beyond them. True change always seems so far out of reach.
Believe it or not, most of these these "23 Nobel prize winning economists" are clueless about the economy. You're young, and it's typical for the young and inexperienced like you to vote left. But then, they live, they learn and they start to vote right.
Take it from a Black South African woman... TRUMP is your best bet at a better future than Kamala... don't be fooled by mainstream media... if you learnt about the skeletons in her closet you'd be sick
your point on appropriating political movements from other countries spoke to me on a personal level. i live in finland, and in the last couple of years i've seen people of my age (older gen z) using the acronym 'ACAB' to describe the finnish police force, which has been annoying me immensely. the lack of understanding cultural and political context is astounding to me, because ACAB is a movement specifically meant to target the american police force which is literally built upon slavery. that cannot ever be applied to a country like finland, no matter how heartbreaking it is to see one police officer accidentally and unintentionally kill a citizen who had a firearm with them. everything else about this video kind of fell flat for me tho. i may be finnish, but my girlfriend is an american, living in a red state as a lesbian. we talk a lot about american politics bc it quite literally is connected to my gf's safety as a woman and as a queer person in a queer relationship. to leave out these aspects of the discussion on the election and only deliberately using them to harp on a small minority of annoying progressives is disingenuous to say the least. as someone else said in the comments, PLEASE TALK TO INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISTS! they will offer you much more realistic and rational arguments and points of view than ignorant progressives that we have been criticizing for YEARS. i think it's very important that you're criticizing the left in your videos. however, i would like to see you sometimes talk to *actual* leftists who aren't shaving their heads bc of a co-opted political movement from south korea.
Honestly, I agree with you. I’m an enby lesbian from America, and I do think she’d benefit from talking to people who believe in intersectional feminism. Intersectional feminism is something I deeply believe in. Many facets of one’s life can affect other aspects. And yeah, I agree, she’s specifically talking about the loud minority. Was I upset about the election? Sure, but I only really talk about it with my friends, and trusted family members. As a 20 year old, I’m fucking tired. Like I wanna transition, but I do feel like trump’s candidacy will literally prolong an already difficult process. Also, do I like Trump?? No, I don’t, I haven’t for years. This being said, I’m not going to literally dox someone??? Like what the fuck. I of course have anger towards people who say bonkers shit like that. That being said, it’s rather frustrating to have your concerns be kinda dismissed because people view it as radical progressivism. Like, I fear about not even being able to save up the money once I get out of college to start saving for gender affirming care. It’s tiring as hell. Also the first thought I had when I heard about people co-opting the 4B movement from SK, I was like: the context is so different in both of our countries, like- it’s not something that I feel like is very doable in the U.S. at least. Do I get the fears that women have with it? Honestly yes. That being said, this isn’t the SAME MOVEMENT. 4B from South Korea is a completely different movement with different contexts, like how you explained ACAB with the U.S. It is different situations. While I’m lucky enough to be in a blue state, I still fear policies spreading to my state. This being said, I worry more for the people in red states. And for the economy and how that will affect marginalized people as a whole. It will make it even harder for us, and it’s damn frustrating.
Are progressives in England all rich? Because here in Canada a huge part of “progressive” groups base their platforms on income equality. How is electing a rich man who gives tax breaks to the rich going to help income equality?
I need to add blaming progressives for a rise in food prices is ridiculous. Food Oligarchs are the norm and they can price gouge us all they want. In Canada it’s the NDP who were the only political party to actually go up against our food oligarch cartels. It was the Conservatives and the Liberals who let off the food oligarchs who were shown to be price gouging and “greedflating” food prices. Meanwhile most progressives call for a rise in local food production and supporting independent farmers.
lol I’m bald and people project onto that all the time. When black panther came out people started SALUTING me 😂. Amber Rose is bald and she was at the RNC?!
I shaved my head in the 12th grade by choice and it honestly does affect how people see you, and I don’t think it should??? It genuinely made me so much more interested in how both men and women perceive women who choose to feel and look beautiful on their terms. 17:48
I will say as someone who considers herself right-wing, I find your channel interesting because the comment section is actually quite diverse, you have people from "your side" disagreeing with you or agreeing with you quite strongly. But you also have the typical right wingers who obviously will be more warm to this content because you've said things that they say themselves (at least when it comes to elitism in progressive circles) I would agree it's a bit stupid to co-opt different movements that lack cultural context within your own country, clearly South Korea has their own problems regarding the men/women divide that quite frankly as an American I do not understand, because obviously when you don't live in that context you will not understand why people react the way they do. I have spoken with people outside my country who don't really understand why Americans voted for Trump, but to me, based on how I was raised and based on what I understand from my own country. He is for better or for worse one of the most American choices one could make. However, even within America clearly you have a divide not just based on upbringing but also on completely different views of reality as a whole. I'd agree that people are overall misinformed (myself included in all honesty) To the people that voted for Trump, or would have, they most likely had a completely different view and understanding of what that election meant to them. And same for Kamala voters. So for the people that are like "you voted or supported this side because you're x y and zed" is just complete hogwash. Maybe you disagree with the reality those people live in or think is the truth of the matter. But you are winning ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, NONE, ZILCH, ZERO by pushing the divisive narratives. Understand what the hell people voted for from their own mouths and decide from there.
Thanks comments section...for averting me away from this video and getting red pilled...into thinking all progressives are a left fringe group...and reminding me of my actual values...values that even conservatives, ironically ache for...even the thumbnail seemed suspect....smdh
9:00 Hey, umm, Kidology, as a lawyer, you do know it is completely and utterly illegal to pepper spray someone for ringing your doorbell? Why are you defending this dude. She did a stupid. He did a crime.
@@thelonercoder5816 Within the context, he would have no viable legal grounds to claim he was in fear for his life. She rung his doorbell. A more reasonable reaction would be to simply not answer. Tell her to vacate the premises. Etc, etc. He instead.....chose crime.
Hey Kidology! - I'm a South African female too, I don't lean progressive, but I always appreciate your content so much. I recently posted a similar analysis on my channel, and I hoped that you would clarify the exact sentiments of "nuance" and "complexity" from both sides. Personally, I understand liberals' frustration, even though I disagree with their ideological priorities. "Progressives love nothing more than theory" - absolutely, because they can't fathom how half of rationally minded America could vote for a "racist, convicted criminal and s*x predator". I can't. Most people, including Republicans can't - which is why I think it would help to explain WHY Republicans don't believe they didn't (i.e, the nuance, the complexity). I keep hearing from progressives "I just don't understand" - but stating, throughout this video, how severely they don't understand to certain parody of their honest frustration doesn't help them understand more (in my opinion). You stated that "you would not be so bold, so delusional, and so self righteous as to claim that this is because of white supremacy" ... so, what is it because of? Why would you imply that sentiment (shared by many progressives), implicitly delusional? I don't agree with most progressives, but I don't find their frustration delusional... at all. Loved your points, looking forward to more from you, as always - this discussion is really hard, and you probably did a better job than I did😅
As one living in italy, i'll say my opinion on why democrats lost, despite having the best candidate and the best program, best economics and not so woke. For starters, from the precedent election, trump lost voters, harris lost more voters, so she lost. Why? ( All the motives, not in order of importance) - Harris wasn't liked and went with no primaris -Harris on gaza and ucraine wasn't liked Democrats still made quite republican program, with hard fist on immigration ecc. It wasn't even much on lgbt rights, or identity. Trump couldn't hold a candle on logic. But Trump didn't win with logic, because i think on an emotional level Democrats and the left have made a great work in getting disliked by everyone, even their on base, me included. And it must be said it's not even the party, it's everyone that feels progressives on the internet. Let's do a list: -calling fascist everyone who disagrees with the left or vote for Trump. Really few people consider themself fascist, many consider themself practical, so that's just namecalling. It also makes them fell desperate -identity politics. America more than other places has a dream built on merit. Now if minorities get in better position, they'll say they didn't earn it, and white people lose job oppotunities. Also so many things like courses and scholarship based on skin and gender instead on effective difficulties. It's racism - woke. Lgbt, race and gender thematics have become an excuse for bad product. As a gamer, everytime people say it's bad game with woke elements or badly implemented woke elements, journals, fucking journals start bashing the white cis etero gamer. And it works for films, tv series. And it bring me to the next point - people feel they can't defend what they love, they can't say what they think, they are not as free as before of speaking or writing. This is what the left feel, a bunch of bullies. - the left can't address any of the points above, they can't even acknowledge them, for the last 10 years they didn't come back one time on real class problems - pseudo feminism. "Not all men" is a perfectly valid answer to a message that says "all men are rapist, murderers, or are friends with rapist and murderers. Also men don't care about women, if they work all day is only to inflate their ego, and not forget that women have been oppressed for thousand of years so it's perfectly fine for me too bash this 15 year male for what his ancestors did, he grew up in the patriarchy, whatever it is, it's evil". The amount of hate i feel online. While men are still the most homeless, the most killed, the most suicides, the less healthy, a third of domestic abuse, and can't attract a woman on dating up, and can't approach them outside. This is what the left cultivated and can't acknowledge. So Trump wins on the work made by the left on the last 8 years. The left kept everyone distant and alienated it's own voters. And Democrats are the left in America. - women are not their uterus. Sure, losing that abortion law was bad, but abortion and contraceptives haven't been prohibited, you just need a car to go were abortion are. Women have bigger issue, like how go get out their parents house, or eat -the left is full of people that feels crazy. 4B example above
7:39 It’s important to note that NAs have historically dealt with a lot of voter suppression for every presidential election due to the way reservation addresses work. In this country, you need to have an address with a house number in order to register to vote, and a lot of Native American reservation addresses don’t have a house number, so a majority of NAs on reservations can’t vote. We definitely are dealing with a rise in conservatism throughout the world and even within minority communities but I don’t think we can look at the NA voting statistics to support that because it isn’t a truly accurate reflection of actual NA sentiments.
Native American presidential voter turnout rates are also low because they tend to prioritize tribal elections over national elections. This is rooted in a lot of Native Americans' mistrust of the government--for obvious reasons.
If you don't like American Progressives or Liberals, just say that. We are not in a frenzy, we are just tired of American racism, misogyny and xenophobia and its disheartening to see that its alive and well in 2024. Sorry, but since it is WE that have to live here, give us a few more weeks to process things. Also, I am not sure why the 4B movement (a fringe movement in the USA which will probably go no where) got so much focus in this video. No one would be feeling any kind of way if it was a Mitt Romney that won. Its the fact that TRUMP won. Its concerning and disturbing. Already Neo-Nazi groups are making appearances around the country. WW are lying about being "jumped" by Liberal women and are threatening to shoot us. There will be more to come. But hey have fun, you don't have to live here.
If it helps with some anxiety, Amir Odom, a black gay man, has an in-depth video about “why we shouldn’t fear a trump presidency”, which has been helpful for a lot of people. I hate that disliking American progressivISM looks so much like disliking American Progressives. Hopefully we can all show each other some grace for impulsive words as we adjust to the future 💛
@@Elenalamp Thx I'll check it out. Im just a little tired of everyone telling us what our problems are. We realize the mistakes and have 2-4 years to work on something. Some say we need to give up bipartisan attitudes, get loud and vulgar and get a BLUE MAGA and others say we need to deconstruct the Democratic party, Liberalism, etc. People are upset and are jumping on trends to regain some kind of mental control, give them a damn break already. And with young Trad-Con Trumper males literally exchanging tips on how to hide their beliefs and misogny in order to "trick" Liberal women into being with them, if the gurls wanna go 4B, maybe that's the best route, I'm not going to judge. Just tired of the bulls--t, that's all. We have a r----pst and a felon for a president and its disgraceful. Peace out.
Thank you, I literally voted for Romney! I was a republican my whole life, I just didn't want Trump, and the fact so many went for him completely woke me up to how broken America really was. It's absolutely not just 'the progressives' who do not want Trump.
@@Elenalamp I'm an attorney and we should VERY VERY much fear a trump presidency, and anyone saying otherwise is disingenuous. Trump now needs to stay in power to stay out of jail, do you have any idea how much worse that fact will make him? He has huge incentives to try to stay in power forever
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 he will not be in power forever, as you well know. unless he will somehow manage to get rid of term limits, which he won't. fear mongering is destructive at this point. He was president before and Americans survived. Come what may, to encourage fear after the fact of his reelection is terribly counterproductive.
As a black 23 year old female, I am pushed right now to reveal that I did not vote this year. This has everything to do with my current changing mental state: I’ve been fighting to maintain my sobriety this year, have been pulling myself from under the control of my parent (to be able to properly develop financially, emotionally, etc) as well as finding myself no longer believing in God and doing my best to accept my sexuality and the fact I may never have the desire to be with a man. I am not proud of what I did, I just am in a place where I just don’t trust myself and what I want for my life because of having to now learn to transition into how I want my life to look versus how my family/other influences wanted my life to look and knowing the mistakes I’ve made in the past.
Kid's key point here is Theory vs Reality. The other day I was talking to some people on an app and someone was talking about an article they read about young boys and I replied, "That's the problem, you're reading instead of talking to young boys."
I would post my reasons for not voting for Trump. But as a nobody, my reasons will never matter to anyone but me. And yet, if I were an influencer, I'd be putting my own life in danger to speak out against The Conquering Dominion. Nothing I could ever say about anything will ever matter to anyone but me. This makes me wonder what the true value of "free speech" ever was. So then, maybe it's 'just as well' that we're about to lose that.
Im reading the comments and there are so many comments that make me question if i should watch this video. People voted for trump this is nuts, yes there are reason(mainly failed education) but still? The whole world watching is shocked(except idiots outside of the us) in my eyes it was never left vs right but everybody with a brain against trump
Interesting how the "We love Diversity!" crowd loves diversity until they actually hear a "diverse" array of opinions, any and all of which vary from their own in any way are "Extreme--Right Wing Fascists". Diversity #1 as long as you ALWAYS agree with me 100% of the time.
Here's something that blows my mind....there are people who split the ticket voted for Trump, but also voted for AOC. AOC did a whole thing on social asking the reasons you should check it out it's fascinating.
I love your content and takes. Just as a correction, Marla Rose, the woman who went to Fuentes' home, was Not the original person who Doxxed him online. I live nearby and can confirm his information was already made public before she went there.
Yikes. I'm very, VERY critical of progressives and our absurd marketing issue, slapping the most alienating labels on any remotely decent policy. I really felt like FD Signifier did you dirty a while back and was very uncharitable, but this video is way off the mark. He was right to side-eye you.
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 I'm also considering unsubbing. I usually like to have 1 or two people subscribed I disagree with to broaden my perspective but yikes
the 4B movement started in South Korea, right around the time when epidurals were banned for women giving birth. its a much different landscape. plastic surgery is mear ubiquitous, women are encouraged to wear painful corsets and quite literally starve themselves to appear or be thinner.
You’re making it sound like Trump will be better for the economy or like that type of rhetoric isn’t completely incorrect. 20+ noble prize economists said KH’s economic plan was better than Trumps. Tariffs will ruin the economy
Biden literally said she was in charge of many things during his presidency, so how was she not able to better the economy now? Or a few years ago? But then you compare that to Trump's economy and it was better
@@Jamhael1Bad advisors and worse instincts - The last time Dem operators had good instincts was when they put their support behind Obama over Clinton. Since 2016 they have been chasing the mythological "never trump" republican while seeking the aesthic approval of the left wing subculture. The result is that they ignore obvious slam dunk issues and squander politcal momentum.
I've also heard that during and after the pandemic, we had a record number of incumbent parties in countries all around the world losing the elections in their countries, and being replaced by other parties, no matter if the ruling party in any of these countries was left or right leaning. Basically, a lot of people around the world aren't informed enough, they just saw prices increasing and the inflation happening, didn't connect it to covid, but blamed whatever party was in power in their country, and voted them out. It even happened in my country in Europe, after having one party winning elections for 30 years, they were replaced at the end of covid. A lot of people (especially Americans) somehow don't realize that the pandemic and the resulting inflation happened in almost every country in the entire world, no matter which party was in power. What's also interesting, when it comes to the US, the US had the best and the fastest recovery from inflation out of all the countries with developed economies (G7), and that happened under Biden. Plus I have to add that I've heard that Trump, at the beginning of the covid pandemic, called Putin and asked him to decrease the production of oil for the next two years, which caused gas prices to increase dramatically
Actually, to be honest......on a scale of 1 to your most pressing problems, How does hating men, shaving your head and wearing a bracelet ...pay rent for the average person. How does it....put food on the table. This is so first world. I don't understand you guys. Like...wow! This is so SAD.
@@mads597 you have actually proved my point. This whole thing is for people who have the time and resources to care and it starts at a certain pay range and status is society and is definitely not for the average Jo. Because the average Jo has no time for this and is facing real world problems.
@@lemiphil2388men don’t align with them but those conservatives men still want the liberal women. They’ve literally said that conservative women are cold and they don’t like to date them. Ask them why?
@@LoveK1 that could be true, attraction can sometimes transcend political leanings. But we can't also discount the women who voted for Trump. Shows that even women are divided on certain hot button issues. Also, many women are willing to compromise for whatever reasons. We saw the number of women who were posting about going to cancel their husband's vote.
The frustrating part is Trumps policies will only make inflation and inequality worse and the Biden administration did a reasonably good job considering the pandemic and wars.
While yes i agree that i have issues with the add campaign. I find it so strange to only blame white women while completely ignoring the fact that young men are becoming more and more conservative and alt right. Yes i agree this things are multi facited and we shouldn't play the blame game, even if we are might as well make it fair, eh??😂
Instead of blaming people for voting wrong a sensible person wanting to win next time would actually look at the reasons why people aren’t voting for them and change but self-reflection seems like kryptonite to the progressive left at the moment. If more white women and young men are moving to the right, offer something for them to support instead of attacking them for not voting your way.
I don’t get it anymore Left: we must stop patriarchy and white supremacy (America predominantly white) Right: alright f*ck u I guess I didn’t do shit. Left: B*got Right: I’ll vote right then Left: why did you not vote left b*got
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986brother I am not American 😊 I clearly stated that we "these things are multifaceted and we shouldn't play the blame game" Thank you
The white woman thing is a product of people basterizing intersectional analysis: instead of focusing on policy and activist projects that center the most marginalized (impoverished migrant/ black/Native American women and children) people just focus their ire on privilege white women. This leaves privileged men and abusive marginalized/left wing men to do whatever they want.
Yeah no that disturbed me, mostly the white women that voted blue but were so ashamed of their racial identity. Like, you can acknowledge your privilege while being proud of who you are as an individual. No one, not even a black woman, should ever be able to talk down on you at any point because you allowed it due to your shame? YOU didn't vote red, be proud of your values and beliefs and don't allow anyone to discredit it. Grow and learn and please keep your head up :(( Idc, it was disturbing to see. It was genuinely disturbing. But also, no, blame isn't only being casted on white women, right now more eyes are being turned on the 'whys' of why men voted for Johnie over there.
Loving your content Kidology! Came across your RUclips channel some weeks ago and have been really enjoying your fresh take and your videos! Greetings from a fellow Brit girl 🇬🇧🤍
Women can shave their heads if they want. Some women really rock it too! Like the woman with alopecia looks great. But as a girl’s girl, it’s hard to watch fellow women clearly having a mental breakdown online for the whole world to see, forever. Especially because a lot of them were probably pushed to mental instability from being online too much. So now they are isolating themselves more. It’s sad.
Yeah I think it's pretty idiotic to frame these women as representative of any poltical group when they are clearly a small minority that is either having a mental health episode or are shamless attention seakers...either way it's not very helpful to give these women this level of attention (it is either cruel or indulgent). People need to learn to use the block button.
Seriously most women in the us still have hair on their head. Im not even american but even i know those women in the videos are all combined less than ten women that were in shock cause of the election. Why would she put so much focus on this and those trump supporters in the comments just shows that she is closer to them in her thinking. Which for a lesbian, black, south african women is just crazy..until you remember her female incel video
@@redmaple1982yeah if she is progressive it makes her movement look bad but I do appreciate the nuance that she is able to be both progressive and not just parrot all the same points as everyone else
@@adamjebediah oh I'm OK with political critique but I would argue that Kidology is smart enough to realize a few 3 people attention seeking/having a meltdown on tiktok does not constitute a meaningful political movement.
You nailed it in three minutes. The problem is *_rationalism._* Cognitive scientist George Lakoff has been warning progressives they are irrationally rationalistic since the 1990s.
The reason Kamala failed is because she was not chosen nor popularly elected. She was shoved in the race with only 3 months to campaign on literally nothing. The woman has no unique ideas and would just be a second Biden term, but probably worst due to her lack of experience, lack of knowledge, and lack of understanding of the American people. You described her campaign trail correctly as centering around the middle class and college educated in society, ignoring the average American. As a middle class, college graduate who is among these type of people, I can confirm they have an out of touch air to them and do not know the struggles of average Americans. The only thing Kamala publicly ran on was abortion and identity politics. Even though she had an economic plan, she rarely professed it. She did not lose because she’s a woman or because she is of color, Hillary Clinton disproves this by winning the popular vote in 2016, and Obama disproves this by being elected for two terms. The left abandoned its average constituents and they turned right.
@@LibraryofAcousticMagic3240 Thanks for taking the time to read my comment. I think it depends on what you define as experience. Occupying a space imo doesn’t count, proactiveness and leadership equates to experience in my view, and Harris clearly lacked that. Even throughout her career as district attorney then attorney general in CA, she followed the policies of those around her without thinking for herself (hence why her former career cannot be described as progressive, despite her stated beliefs). Experience requires thinking for oneself, even if you do have a subordinate role such as VP.
The people ushering in the patriarchy (in a dress) and attempting to remove the word "woman" from our vocabulary are calling everyone with a different opinion, misogynists.
I wanna live in a society where women opting out of childbearing for the right reasons can be taken seriously. This hyped up rendition of 4B is NOT leading us to that. I have chronic illness, and while having a baby may not end my life, the toll on my health would be significant, making it it very hard to even raise said child. Many women have valid reasons to avoid procreating, we have more education on womens health and complications of pregnancy. For some of us, its not a trend, or a spite to men, or a political stance. We would like to be taken seriously in society, plz and thx 💜
This narrative of the "enlightened centrist" and "fact over feelings" has been a core component of your channel. As a scientist, I could appreciate the sentiment, though our views were diametrically opposed. However, after this video, and ESPECIALLY after your video talking about that man who strung you along and rejected a relationship with you, you have some soul searching to do. You are not as detached as you believe (not to be parasocial, as I'm going by only what you have shown us). If these videos are a reflection of your current state of philosophy, I am letting you know that this lack of fully realized and cohesive worldview is now very, very hard to ignore in your content. Your content is simply not as robust and objectively presented as it used to be. It has lowered in quality in ways that I can no longer ignore. Perhaps this style generates more revenue or perhaps this is where you've ended up. Wishing you the best in your journey. Maybe I will see you on my feed and click on it in the future, but for now, I will be moving on.
They spent the past 4-8 years insulting men and young boys and are surprised that many of them went to redpill spaces which serve as a pipeline to right-wing ideologies. They understand how repulsive redpill rhetoric is to most women, but don't see how their own rhetoric will be repulsive to the same men that they want to vote the same way as them.
I genuinely don’t understand the point of this video? The research you did is lacking and your interpretation of some of these videos is very… interesting. It’s easy to be apathetic and mocking of people that are grieving when you aren’t affected.
@@jazzyethecrimefighter OP is obviously invested in having this convo. A single RUclips comment isn't going to address her issues. A video, on the other hand has more reach.
@@megaultradamn Nah, what best would address the issues is her never consuming Kidology's content again, down voting this video, and being in spaces less full of creatures like you who sit in judgement but have never done anything valuable in their entire little basement dwelling lives😘
Not the best video in terms of your research and also script. The whataboutism with Middle East oppression of women isn’t very helpful and is rather a very low talking point. If someone has done crimes against women then becomes president- this is why a lot of women tend to feel nervous about him in office. Mainly due to this being promoted as a okay thing to do.
This is perhaps the best personal, well informed take I’ve seen from an individual. Master class analysis & articulation. I agree wholeheartedly with every point. This election will be a case study for the next decade. So many different calculus & reactions that’ll no doubt reverberate through the world.
Salutations! I'd be very interested to know from my American viewers how you voted and why. Did you vote for Trump and why? Did you vote for Harris and why? Or did you choose not to vote and why? Let me know in the comments please!
i voted for hanson and hanson but there's a long explanation ruclips.net/p/PLbvoM48s1AlarvAB8Y675SPd0dRXqKCYv
I'm a white woman who flipped red this election because of trans and woke tyranny mostly. Just look at any city run by Democrats for decades and they're all extremely expensive while ridden with homelessness, drug addicts in public, migrants overflowing, terry protests, poop on the sidewalk and drag queens in the schools. I don't want the whole country to be like San Francisco.
I voted for Trump, precisely for the same reason most Trump voters did - our economy is shit and I’m sick of giving 40% of my income to taxes for what??
I tried to vote for Kamala, but couldn’t since I’m in Uni.
I am a 21-year-old black man and I typically stay silent regarding politics; however, Donald Trump might be one of the worst politicians/presidents I have ever seen my life.
I study fiscal policy, micro economics, and macroeconomics at the college level, and I believe that the average American does not understand economic policy.
Other reasons include immigration, funding for arts programs, funding for public schools, and just this idea of supporting the diminishing middle class here in America.
@@gamerbabyy I have a question, articulate to me how Trump (implied) will make the economy better.
I formally study supply side economics with the fed (Fl Division) and leaders of college economics departments and even THEY tell me that Trump and Republicans are extremely uninformed in the topic of economics.
When I think US progressive, I think the independent Bernie Sanders. Inflation, class and income inequality are his main talking points. Modern liberals and progressives are pretty inequitable.
Yeah it's frustrating to hear them conflated and making me less receptive to her point. The platform progressives would run on would speak to so many people for the reasons you stated. I've always thought Bernie would have stood a chance of beating trump in 2016
@k3upikachu What I would have given to be exiting Bernie's second term in office right now...
Absolutely true. This creator conflates progressives and liberals so much throughout this video that her points fall apart. I hope she speaks to leftists in the US so she can have a better understanding of the way our politics work bc this is nottt it
@@k3upikachuthis is exactly why when looking at the data there is a huge overlap of Bernie supporters and people who eventually voted for trump.
Its strays from policy and becomes populism VS establishment. This is why Kamala finds herself in the company of neoconservatives like Liz/Dick Cheney and why true leftists will eventually find themselves in the same party with the MAGA crowd. Theres a political realignment happening right now.
You all should check out Due Dissidence and The Jimmy Dore show if you want that type of stuff
Yet none of those things actually had to do with the Democratic Party. Remember that only a few months after Biden was inaugurated was when Covid started. Since then there have been many external conflicts that affect inflation in our country as well. The last four years was literally Covid.
I’m Korean American and as soon as I saw women posting about blue bracelets and the 4B movement twelve hours after the election, I was upset. They’re taking all the nuance and purpose behind Korea’s 4B movement and making it a gimmick and performative. I can’t.
that’s actually really interesting, i was also thinking it was very performative compared to the struggles Korean women actually are going thru right now. i saw one of the government officials saying he thinks women should basically be castrated at 30 as a punishment for not having children and banned from marriage after 25. then he tried to pretend he wasn’t serious
@@psychedelicgigi that was a Japanese politician who said that. Regardless still a wild take
IKR. In South Korea, there are major, institutionalized problems of abuse towards women, which resulted in the 4B movement. Unlike white, liberal women who are the most privileged women in the world that most women all over the world would have killed to have. These liberal women are so tone-deaf and stupid. They should watch Rotten Mango's videos about the Nth room so they'll be educated about this and stop being so ignorant.😡
Do you have Korean citizenship?
very true, most of progressivism is performative, hence why a lot of minorities didn't vote for harris
I wish people understood what divide and conquer means, because its a very effective strategy and we keep falling for it over and over again.
I'm Australian, but from the videos I remember seeing in 2015 I think that's why Bernie Sanders was so popular. He cut through all the BS and talked about practical economic stuff that people on both sides could relate to. And the only "us vs them" talk I remember was "the 99% versus billionaires ".
Sun Tzu never gets old.
Absolutely true! It's the oldest tactic in the book.
You need to ask yourself who's doing the dividing? Who is most likely to be bullied when they dissent from progressive elite minority who are steering the movement? Mostly other progressives.
In 2016 it was disappointing and I was surprised that Trump won. He won without the popular vote. But this time I was pretty sure he would win handily. The loss was well deserved for the Democrats. They should be doing self reflection but instead they are doing what they always do, deflecting, denying,. minimizing, gaslighting and the most damning, lying by omission. The 60 minutes edit of their Kamala Harris interview was one of the most creative implementation of lying by omission I've seen.

@@PutkisenSetä Bro this analogy is so off lol
The majority of Americans do not make those distinctions - politics is understood as liberal vs conservative and democratic vs authoritarian...any other ideology is put under the umbrella of those two binaries. There is also no real "left" within the United States in terms of meaningful poltical power: labor is dead, there are no viable 3rd parties, the 60s/70s era of activists either died off or got absorbed, and any new crop of activists groups regularly make the mistake of equating online/pop cultural reach with actual impact. The existing national level politicians that could be meaningfully called "leftist" are in the single digits and even they are regularly hated by the the very small subculture of leftists that don't even vote.

I fully understand most of the arguments you made, I consider myself to be fairly progressive but I ran away from the identity politics of the progressive movement several years ago. The one thing I don't understand is, why did so many people vote for Donald Trump for "economic reasons" and because "they need someone to do something about income inequality" when he's the guy that's going to cut taxes on the wealthy and put tariffs? It doesn't seem like the right solution to the problem.
Besides that, I fully understand why most Americans were turned off by the Democratic party, they have become a party of elitists and snobs

Thank you for not falling for the "man vs woman" narrative about this election. Virtually every demographic shifted towards Trump. We have to face the fact that something about their message just works better
Very underrated yet accurate comment.
I think shaving your head specifically to be less attractive to men is pretty unfeminist?? That's still warping your perception of self around how men see you. When me and my best friend went to military training I kept my hair very short because it was easier to deal with, while she shaved her head completely. I remember our leadership genuinely thought she had a mental issue or something for shaving her head as a woman but she genuinely didn't want to deal with her hair while we were out in the field. Shaving your head as a women because you want it shaved and don't care about what society thinks is feminist, shaving it to be "unattractive" to men, is male-centric.
Disagree it was liberating and I’ve done it several times. I’ve shaved my head as a reaction to men, for myself, and had very long hair, it’s long now. I think everything is a conversation, so a response makes sense. Like you can choose not to communicate, engage with, or think about men, but it would still be a decision around men as a response to them.
Many women shave it so men will leave them alone and be less likely to objectify and sexualize them. It’s removing yourself from the male gaze because. The woman with alopecia in the video misunderstood that these women think shaved heads = ugly. Shaved heads and short hair don’t make you ugly, but men think it does. Men overwhelmingly prefer long hair and women’s hair has been something men sexualize. Shaving your hair off sends the message that you don’t conform to men’s ideas of sexualized beauty, you’re still beautiful even if men don’t find you sexually attractive anymore because beauty ≠ men wanting to bang you.

As many have said, the biggest problem with this video is that it lumps all groups of progressives together.
The examples given in this video are the fringe version of "progressiveness".
Exactly this.
Nah they all hate white people and white men
Can you explain more please? I’m relatively new to this topic but I’m willing to learn more
@@Alltherestofus not everything is black and white they tend to be a spectrum
@@Alltherestofus Sure, broadly speaking being progressive means wanting to change the way society is currently shaped.
Leftist progressive means being pro-social reform, i.e. universal healthcare, equal gender pay, pro worker rights, racial and gender equity, anti-capitalism etc.
The examples in the video essay skirt the definition of progressiveness, because they barely mentioned the above issues.

This was somewhat of a tough listen, and I’m a progressive who is not a swiftie or brat (just not my thing, to each her own), nor did I shave my head. I don’t have social media presence so I only talk to friends & colleagues about politics. But you make a few solid points here & I appreciate your take.
I think parts of the 4B+ movement (since it’s growing, sometimes called 7B, etc) are practical - such as choosing to avoid supporting businesses run by misogynistic figures, and essentially voting/protesting with your wallet.
But as soon as I heard about total abstinence from men, like not speaking to them, I knew it’s not sustainable. And I can’t get behind something that’s just a flash in the pan.
Even as a single woman in my mid 30s - childfree and cat-having - I know lashing out emotionally about some of the garbage being spewed by the extremists online is tempting. I get it, I was distraught upon hearing the results. I have since come to understand how we got to this place, so it’s about acceptance & doing better (differently) on the progressive side, like you said.
But it’s not going to move people’s hearts for online movements to stay niche & only online. Then it’s just continuation of an echo chamber.
Having also been laid off 2 years in a row, I get why the economy is a focal issue, and why many didn’t bother to/didn’t have the energy to do much research. My ongoing employment struggles kept me too exhausted to be as involved as I wanted to be.
Many simply voted for the other party, thinking the one in charge now is the one who got us to this economic state. Mistaking trump’s acquisition of a reasonable economy from Obama in 2020 as that having been Trump’s/the Republicans’ doing. It wasn’t. But people don’t realize that.
The pandemic clearly affected us, but the ongoing inflation (greed-flation) by corporations under the pretense of ongoing supply shortages even in 2023? We know that’s BS. But both Dems & Republicans (in office) love corporations. So neither did much to curb this.
Those same people voted blue down the ballot. But red for president. Various states voted to protect abortion & raise wages, increase benefits for middle class workers. They still care about progressive issues, but want to stop struggling, so they swung the pendulum away from the party they blamed.
It’s not trump they were voting for, so much as perceived (and real) democratic failure they were voting against. Understanding that helps me to grasp why he got the popular vote.
Love the point you made about trump inheiriting a good economy. Been saying that for years and it makes me feel crazy sometimes that no one else talks about it
I appluad you for listening to something that might be critical of your beliefs. As a guy, while I don't agree, I try to listen to points against the patriarchy and men for the same reason. It isn't easy, but hearing others is always a net benefit. Even if it's just to hear potential arguments you can't agree with.
I personally didn't vote Dem (I voted for Afroman) because they SEEM to pander more and promise more during election cycles than others and leave those promises for the next time they need them instead of fullfilling them. (Kamala said she would legalize MJ, and I think that's the most universally backed idea currently, but they won't just do it now)
I think the problem with online discourse is that the most radical opinions get clicks and views. As an Atheist, I've heard a ton of wild things said by online Christians and apologists, I would hate Christians if Frank Turek was the only one I knew or heard speak on his religion. In reality, my entire family and even my best friend (Godfather to my children) are church going, Bible believing Christians. We get along great and have enough mutual respect to even speak for hours on religion while still remaining good friends. They would never speak down to me or act like online apologists do because that isn't normal behavior.
We all get along more than we don't, the problems come from first trying to separate ourselves by the things we dislike vs what we equally enjoy.
2 different raced racists, might get along in a comment section over beer or sports. If they start there they can build a bridge, if they start on race they never will. 🤙
I don't think 4Bers really need to follow every single idea. Surely there must be room to do what works for you. And if it doesn't cater specifically to LGBTQ+ persons or persons with alopecia, maybe it doesn't need to. People really need to be more discerning.

Neoliberals are not progressives/leftists.
That's beside the point, because this vid isn't even about policy. She is arguing for aesthetics not substance, that is the problem with this video.
Progressivism is just the dead end of liberalism, part and parcel of neoliberal economics.
Yes it is. They both hate white people and want to take their money and give it to nonwhite masses.
Plus they both like homosexuality and hate men.
Neoliberals are better than progressives actually. They’re more likely to know what a woman is.
It is now. They embrace it.
It’s not just women. I think they don’t understand people: their motivations, their aspirations, their values, or their limits.
Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the fortunate, while inflicting costs on the unfortunate.
The core component of a luxury belief is that the believers are sheltered from the consequences of their belief.
While President Trump can afford to have many luxury beliefs, he prefers not to.
And THAT is probably why he won the election.
_"I think they don’t understand people: their motivations, their aspirations, their values, or their limits."_
They don't understand much of anything, since objective reality isn't a part of their world view. They are ivory tower "intellectuals" who want to project their book knowledge onto reality. Understanding people requires observing reality first and changing your beliefs second. Arrogant elitists can't do that. That's why a lot of Democrats are resorting to: _"the voters chose Trump because they are stupid."_
As much as I find the women coopting the 4b movement to be annoying I think it is silly to suggest these women are harming bald women. There have always been extreme political/ ideological assumptions tied to women with shaved heads. Prior to the election if you were a woman with a bald head and did not look visibly ill most people would assumed that you were some form of punk/ skinhead or that you were going though a mental issue. Any woman that shaves her head to ward off straight men is not insulting bald women - that charge falls on all people that make a big deal out of women shaving their heads.
Exactly
People think woman shaving head = Britney Spears style mental breakdown.
Because the women shaving their heads are doing so under the premise that doing so makes them unattractive, this was stated in the video. I would conjecture it is also akin to appropriating a disability, as the women being harmed suffer from Alopecia.
@@jecarlin men shave their heads all the time but thats not appropriation, right ?
@@carrotbo9 Men don't shave their heads because they are trying to make themselves be perceived as unattractive to others. This is what makes this problematic for women with Alopecia. If anything, men get told bald is sexy.
You really downplay abortion being a concern with a trump presidency. women in america have already died in greater numbers since Roe was removed. That IS the context.
I think her whole female incel video showed us more about her than we realised. The focus of this video just shows that she is despite her education lacking in the human/social/empathy aspect of being intelligent
@@chrissyosozzy6465would you please give me more infos on that ?😊
@@noumiiidia See that black long box at the top of this very page? USE IT. 😘
What's also left out is the fact that women are being abandoned by doctors after having miscarriages because they're afraid of being charged for it. Many Christians who were in Trump's side turned around because of that fact. It's more than just an abortion issue.
Women are dying because of medical negligence, not because of abortion laws. It is also already FEDERAL LAW that doctors must stabilize a person in the emergency room. Every state prolife law on the books right now has exceptions for the life of the mother. If a doctor is choosing to not treat a woman, it is because they are either incompetent or trying to push an agenda.
What they're forgetting is that women who are married, in long term relationships, and/or have children have very different priorities than single 20 somethings. And that is a very big part of the divide in how women voted. I bet even single moms think this movement is stupid (even if they probably broke for Democrats this election).
I would be curious to see who single mothers ended up going for overall. I’m a single mom, and I know several other single moms, and while this is clearly anecdotal, the majority went for Trump. Because as you say, women who are mothers have VERY different priorities than young single childless women. It is impossible to overstate how much having a child changes most women’s perspective and life. I know plenty of women who were very progressive and leftist before motherhood who shifted right and more conservative afterward.
@@pianokeys71 Is your area more or less Republican than the rest of the country?
According to CNN"s exit poll, married women were Trump +3 and unmarried women were Harris +21.
That's actually a better performance with unmarried women than in past elections. I suspect single moms would be somewhere in between married moms and unmarried childless women, but perhaps the gap with married moms is shrinking.
I would be curious about a more detailed breakdown though - I suspect a lot of married boomer women who's children are now adults are voting Democrat while Gen X moms who's kids are still in school and in the household are voting much more Republican.
Like what are the differences between various combinations in terms of relationship and parenting situations.
Married women, cohabitating women, single women
Women with children that left the house, women with children still in the household, women without children.
@@pianokeys71If you don't mind, can you expand further on that? I would guess it's for economic reasons or the state of the US education system, but I'm not a mother
@@spookyjones6577 I also would like to know how motherhood makes you want to vote for Epstein's closest friend with multiple allegations against him/ must be hormones right
@@spookyjones6577 I’d like to avoid biological essentialism. BUT from my observation, I think women are wired to be cooperative with different groups of people for survival. So, we tend to adopt group concerns as personal concerns. But mothers are more wary of different groups and prioritize the survival of their children above the survival of outside people. Suddenly, the concept of community issues and identity politics outside of the family become less important since we literally get a new identity once we marry. Tbh, this is what makes women a bit less reliable and unpredictable when it comes to politics.. Just my opinion.
Kidology, I'm begging you: please talk to intersectional leftists 😭 You're covering everything we've talked about for years about liberals: the condescending attitude, lack of class consciousness, everyyyything 😭
Edit(s? Still watching):
11:56 this part is going to force me to reread Dialectic because this seems like a really bad distillation to even trrryyyy to connect Shulamith's analysis to Americanized "4B"
16:10 sis, this is giving Fox News but I don't know how to feel about it as a leftist lol: you're using the most UNHINGED minority of a minority ("4B" appropriating Americans and then the even smaller portion of them shaving their heads). On the one hand, you're using a very small fringe group to clown liberals and give an example of the flaws in their logic/the larger group. I can't STAND the harm liberals cause with their ignorance, but using a small fringe group as part of your critiques against the general group isn't a useful strategy. You have so many other grounded arguments.
38:27 Girl, I'm exhausted and disappointed by the bulk of the video. Once you started mentioning 4B it got derailed. In short: I love most of your videos (especially the ones from this year) but PLEASE consult leftists before clowning liberals in future videos. It's literally their favorite past time and why they're NEVER interviewed on live TV lol. This is giving under-researched smug pandering rather than the rigor we're used to from you. I know you identified as "apolitical" in a previous vid, but this seems to be pandering to moderates with similar labels instead of a deep dive like you usually produce.
What are intersectional leftists??
@@ClementineDaydreamAre you a leftist? Gauging how genuine the question is tbh.
Edit, saw at least 2 people might have the same question:
In leftist spaces, there are A LOT of people (usually men) who say that we should only focus on class consciousness/class-based struggles and that solving these issues will fix everything else. Seriously. "Intersectional leftists" vary a lot, but in general they use the same theories as the first group as a foundation for exploration of class struggles while also acknowledging the need to address other intersections related to sexism, ableism/disableism, etc. There is A LOT of diversity, but that's the gist of why someone would add "intersectional" to the label of "leftist". Angela Davis's writings are a good example of intersectional leftist work.
She did and when she came with logical arguments but essentally they put their fingers jn their ears and shouted lalalalalala!
She could try gain though.
Kidology has a mix of left and right opinions. She is progressive within reason. It is the left that is in a purity spiral. They only talk to people who think excactly like them.
OMG, yes, 100000 times YES! Thank you! I'm a sub for over a year and I'm unsubbing due to this video. She's 'both sides have good people, I'm sure' about h8 movements and fascism gaining traction in the US.
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 This is the exact reason people who would normally be considered left-leaning are now, more than ever before, being pushed further and further right. Saying "there are no good people on the right" is equivocal to "people who disagree with me = fascist," and it's tiring. It's really tiring. You've already convinced yourself that your political opponent is nothing but evil, and clearly there's no convincing you otherwise, when you're so quick to shut out any dissenting voices, like Kidology.
I feel like people not understanding that the tariffs will fall on the consumer is what he banked on.
The same thing will happen with any meaningful crackdown on immigration, the American economy is built on the assumption that their will always be people from an impoverished/wartorn country that are willing to do low wage work.
exactly
Yes it will cost the consumer more on certain goods. However food is mostly produced locally or with countries we have good ties with already. The aim is to promote growth in our own economy by pressuring companies who want to sell in america into producing those goods locally to avoid tariffs. That in turn would put pressure on companies to fight over workers and raise wages to be competitive and thus the avg worker would gain way more than the tariffs would cost them on avg.
@opdinkleberg7078
Bless your heart, the domestic agriculture industry is only possible because of all the immigrants Trump wants to deport, so the price of domestically grown agricultural products will increase. Also because of competition domestic businesses will simply just raise their prices because other companies that ship imported goods have to raise their prices. It’s not just one thing that Trump is doing it’s the combination that is deeply detrimental to the US economy
On the election day, some wise guy already said "Just wait until Trump voter found out that inflation is higher"
This video kinda fails the argument because Trump would actually make economy WORSE.
(I'm welcomed to be corrected if I was misinformed, I'm not American and this topic is hard to research)
17:59 no one said you can’t be beautiful without hair. It’s common knowledge that most men prefer the beauty standard of long hair. People are also shaving their hair short and not bold?
Yeah this negative response is very fragile. Society regularly equates hair with female beauty which is why bald wome have to "work hard" to "come to a place" where they can "accept" their baldness and "feel" beautiful. I get that it's hard to see women go bald as a statement if you were not able to chose your baldness but it's not like hair growth is distributable resource and it's very controlling to say that somone can't shave their head just because you have a hair loss condition.
They literally said they shaving their hair to be ugly for men. It's madness to state.
Sorry...but as a man... Bald females, look masculine. Masculine females, turn off /disgust Men. Even Bald men, are not considered that attractive, by most men and females. Furthermore... MOST men do in fact, prefer woman with long hair, for the same exact reason. It does not matter what any female.. "FEELS" about this factual data. Its simply the Truth... and it will Never Change. Its hardwired into our very Biology. No amount of Radical Brainwashing, is going to make men like hyper masculine females.
If I was a Bald Female, the first thing Id do, is to get a good wig made.
Also, I tend to believe, that the rise in Females that have higher hairlines, and or are going Bald, is largely due to eating too much Hydrogenated Fats/Oils. Its clogging up the circulation channels, and causing the roots to d!e. Other things like Chemicals in shampoos, chemicals in processed foods, stress levels, lack of enough nutrients, mild food allergies (causing a lack of nutrient absorption), and higher stress levels... could also be part of it.
I also believe... that Radicals have been Injecting Male Hormones, into females (jabs)... and, or... into certain key Female-Only products (like in Female Deodorants, Female hair products, and maybe even pads/tampons). Likewise, I believe they have been Feminizing males, similarly. This is why you see the sharp rise of Gay and Feminine males, and Gay and Masculine + Deeper voiced.. females.

i initially gave this video a like because i liked the point you made. people with marginalized identities have a right to think what they want. but you didnt really build on that, and upon reading the comments, i realize that you have a weird pattern of centrism. okay, people can have different opinions, and? where do we go from here? what point are you trying to make? this isnt the first time you've pointed out flaws in the left. i actually thought your vid on performative activism was eye opening! but are you being any better than the people you critique if there's no new suggestions brought to the table? youre right, marginalized people dont owe anyone anything (at least thats one point i gathered from this video), but you can still acknowledge and criticize people who choose to support politicians who are actively going against them! this "lets agree to disagree" mindset does not work if anyone wants actual change. you lightly toasted a piece of bread without adding any topping. you posted the peak of an iceberg without diving underneath. saying "nuance exists" is such a "yes, and?" statement nowadays because EXPLAIN THE NUANCE. What do we DO with the nuance. i liked where you were going in this video more than where you went. say. something. different.
Nope, you are just not used to listening to a free thinker. Many view both the left and the right as absurd and toxic. If you are looking for a confirmation-biased type of commentator, this channel is not for you.
Nuance for me is the economy was a big factor yes but to pretend that this country’s long history of white supremacy and the rise of the Alpha male movement and Qanon conspiracies do not play a role in people’s decision making is frankly foolish. I’m Latin American, I have family members and friends that voted for Trump and if anyone knows her people, its gonna be me. here’s nuance for you, Latin Americans are extremely religious and value traditional values. Since we are young we are taught that the end of the world is near and the state of the world is the way that it is because God is no longer in the government and we have desecrated God’s perfect design by destroying the nuclear family; now women think they are above men, now men sleep with men, etc etc. Latin Americans voted because of these religious dogmas and justify Trump by pointing out how God chose sinners to be his apostles. I also feel like she’s conflating how prolific these “progressive” issues are. She’s referencing a lot of social media things that uh if I’m being honest doesn’t reflect people in the real world at all?? Like the most I’ve heard is about the 4B movement and its mostly women saying that they aren’t gonna have sex with any man unless he supports women’s rights and isn’t a trump supporter which like… yeah I’d hope everyone chooses their partners based on whether they respect them or not???
i agree with you. this video didn't really add anything to the situation.
What exactly would you want to change? Like, that question alone can be overwhelming, but, for example, pick two things you think would be worth it. What would you think we could do to make effective change? How fast do you think it could go?
@@mikakick7180 perfectly said
Co-opting a movement is bad, especially when that movement lacks context. However, many of the women I know take issue with the way the men who voted for Trump attempt to verbally excuse the way Trump talks about women or the crimes he has actually committed against women. (He was found liable for SA. The Jury was split and found him liable for a lesser degree of SA) Its hard to believe someone cares about women when they want to excuse sexual assault to justify their own vote regardless of why they voted. Multiple things can be true at once. I consider myself more center when it comes to politics I see right and wrong on both sides. I absolutely believe in equality but I'm not going to shave my head. I like Taylor swift but that has nothing to do with my politics. I don't have a difficult time understanding why women feel so strongly about having a man who talks and acts the way Trump does represent them in the world.
Didn’t follow closely enough.
What has he done that he was condemned for in that regard?
@@reedy_9619 He personally denies all allegations. Most that made it to court ended up being settled out of court. The most notable case was of E. Jean Carroll who said Trump raped her in 1996. Trump was found guilty of sexual abuse as well as defamation by a jury. Carroll received $5 million based on these convictions. Due to some legalese, the conviction fell short of rape, but a sexual abuse conviction was undeniable.
How exactly should men explain it then? Or, even better, why should they explain their vote at all? Voting is a private matter. You have no right to inquire about other peoples' voting habits.
Why do many women support Harris when she locked up thousands of thousands of innocent people in her role as DA of California? Probably because you let that slide, focusing on the positive things she wanted to do as president. Which you're in the right to do. Men who vote Trump think the same way, and have the exact same right. We all do. No candidate is perfect, they all have flaws, and sometimes it can be difficult to articulate why you let their dark sides slide. And that's okay.
Do Harris voters not care about Palestinians because Harris never explicitly supported them? Do Harris voters owe Palestinians an explanation for why they voted Harris? Do they owe that explanation to the thousands of innocent (mostly minorities btw) who were put in federal prison for minor drug offences in a state that has since legalized? No, of course not. Because the world doesnt work that way, and neither should it, because we'd be here all day.
As you say, multiple things can be true at once.
@reedy_9619 He often says legitimately horrible things about women. Examples. "I'm going to protect the women whether they like it or not", "Grab em' by the p*ssy". He's been accused by multiple women of groping and forcible contact. He has said "Women let me do what I want because when you're rich they just let you". He talks about how sexy his daughter is and said "If she werent my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her." The man has absolutely no respect for women. He also talks about women like they're inherently unintelligent most of the time. There are exceptions if those women work for him or agree with / validate him.

i genuinely don't understand why people associate a Trump presidency with economic growth. maybe i can be enlightened
they're mostly uneducated
People aren't that great at following timelines. Obama got really close to fixing Bush's economy, so most of its first term was under those policies. Its policies went into effect during Biden term, making that administration look wildly incompetent
It’s rhetoric mostly. There’s nothing more American than worshipping salt of the earth middle country wisdoms but frankly they’re just not as tapped in. Whether that’s because they’re less likely to read as an outcome of their job or their job is an outcome of them reading less who knows. The demographics and data don’t lie.
Most ppl didn't vote FOR Trump, but against Biden (Harris is just female Biden in most ppl view).
For those that do like Trump, they're usually just desperate poor white people that hope and pray that he'll live up to revitalizing manufacturing. It's a far-flung hope, but i get it. No one is doing anything for the rust belt and Appalachia at all in pop media, but at least Trump speaking to their concerns with a tangible plan.
(You'll probably argue that Dems have presented policies that could help, and you're right, but those policies don't make headlines).
4 years under Trump saw immense economic growth. We had jobs coming back to the country, illegal immigration was down, people were earning and spending more. There were tons of privately owned business popping up. A lot of black Americans starting up their own small businesses.
Then Biden got into office, undid everything, printed a ton of money and in 4 years we went from an economic boom to a full on recession.
The people who claim there was no growth do so because CNN or MSNBC told them so. Not because they looked it up or looked for the numbers and studies themselves. Of course, they'll tell you that it's the other side who is ignorant.
I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking this video missed the mark a bit. I was thinking maybe I was just overly defensive but seeing the comments made me feel better 😂😂😂😂
15:11 As a Middle eastern woman, this is the first time I feel like you derived away from your approach so far. Our struggles are not a baton to be used against other women and I hope you keep the same sympathy you have for many other, for us as well.
I'd advise you to read "the myth of the Patriarchy in Iran", the idea that women in the Middle East are somehow more oppressed than men is absurd. Islam silences women, but it beheads men.
Exactlyyyyyyyy
Thank you. I was genuinely confused about this point because "...where did this come from???"
It reminds me of this short my Amala Ekpunobi that brought up middle eastern issues as a reason as to why women shouldn't be mourning the election results. It's so weird. Because girlie, you living in a society. These rights can easily, so so SO easily be taken away if you aren't afraid of losing them. Invalidating American women like this for what?
THANK YOU! It's really actually reprehensible to use the fact others have less rights to argue therefore we should stop struggling to advance human rights.
@@MorenaDeRena
Exactly. I argued about that in her discord server. Conservatives dgaf about the plight of women in MENA every other second of the year, keep that energy.
I disliked Trump's demagoguery and antics from the start, and didn't voted for him in 2016 or 2020. That being said, I'd have considered myself democratic 20 years ago, but I've been called self-hating and every brand of ist and phobe available over the last 5 years, mostly from the left. I am exactly the kind of voter these spoiled women (and some men, too) with luxury beliefs have pushed away.
Thats. You problem mate lol
There is a simple solution to all this: have more OFFLINE political conversations. People often present themselves as more polarized in online circles because there's no perceived consequence for their words and actions. Talking face-to-face with people eliminates that perception because, well, they're right there in front of you.
I voted Harris for abortion rights. Women have died or have been made infertile in states with more restrictive laws, due to the doctor having to wait to remove a miscarriage. I never vote based on the economy since politicians on both sides are bribed by the same companies.
Good thing that Islam grows every day in US. As we can see your people really need God. Say no to abortion.
At some point during the video she minimizes the issue of abortion. Certainly hard to stomach when women in my area have actually died as a direct result of Trump's first term efforts to limit said access.
Oh and my comment is gone. I repeat that US will see the rise of Islam and your people will be saved. Soon around 50 million Muslims will live in US and will help you with not killing children. Your children will be finally safe.

Good points, but the abortion thing... even if you voted for trump for other reasons and not for the abortion, you still voted for someone who potentially could make abortions illegal.
Potentially??? Ffs. Already did.
Trump has said that he's going to leave it up to the states
@@adamjebediah It was not up to the states prior to him, it was a constitutional right. Now more than half the country has lost it. And you still ride for him? Pathetic.

@@FishareFriendsNotFood972it’s not a constitutional right, never has been. Anything that is not specifically enumerated in the constitution is left up to the states.

Hi Kidology--I'm a longtime fan of your content and I'm not dramatic enough to unsubscribe but I do think this take is a bit off the mark. As an American, I can absolutely admit there for sure is a population of infuriating progressives (FD Signifier DID lose my subscription with his arrogant & unfair treatment of you) but the moral reasons why half the country are so vehemently opposed to Trump aren't just elitist, out of touch concerns who don't like him just because he's an asshole. You mentioned that the rest of the world would rather have the US remain a superpower compared to the other authoritarian countries waiting in the wings, but how do you reconcile that feeling when the incoming president is an out and loud admirer of authoritarian dictatorships? It's easy to boil down the choice of Trump due to economics, but economics is often the driving force that puts dangerous leaders in power. But morality aside, the most frustrating claim about choosing Trump for economic reasons because a Trump presidency has no significant, if any, financial benefits for lower/middle class, but the truth of that gets buried by the hysterics and lies coming from either sides of the aisle. The YT progressive cohort have been extremely unfair towards you and twist your takes around while patting themselves on the back and if seeing that as a viewer is infuriating, I can only imagine how painful receiving that treatment could be. But if I may be so bold to say I think the schadenfreude of seeing progressives get their back kicked is clouding the perception of how actually threatening a Trump presidency can be to basic civil liberties less than a century old, and reducing it to a difference of priorities is a concerningly simplistic take. There are other major social factors that drove a wedge between America that I think you would find fascinating to explore in a deep dive, but this take barely scratches the surface of America's division problem and how social media fuels that.
Is it 'dramatic' to walk away from content catering to those who voted for fascism?

I'm a black American female liberal. I've never voted in any election but I did this year. I'm amongst the 7-9% of black women who voted for Donald Trump. I voted for him for multiple reasons.
Women's rights: Not abortion because I don't feel like that's being taken away. I do think that the whole trans ideology and gender ideology has nearly ruined our lives. Men who were mediocre in their own male sport pretending to be women and suing anyone who questions it. The Olympics were the last straw for me.
Men's mental Health: Men in general have been treated poorly in everyday life and in most media. They've been told they don't matter and that they don't deserve anything. Like it or not men and women need each other and misandry won't help.
The Left in general: The left has been perverted into this authoritarian smug cesspit. I consider myself liberal and I'm all for helping the underdog if I feel they've been dealt a bad hand. The underdogs are the working class that are mostly conservatives and moderates. The way that they have been talked down to and treated is vile.
Entertainment/Video games: My own side has completely ruined entertainment. I cannot play or watch anything without some on the nose politics shoved in my face. Or having the creator and actors go on some unhinged rant about politics. Changing history to fit people my skin color or darker just to "Own the Chuds".
Education: Children should not be in a class surrounded by multiple pride flags and gender ideology in their classrooms. Colleges should not be brain washing students into insufferable SJW. Most people don't even want to attend college if they're on the right which spits in the face of freedom.
As a liberal? I'm always willing to hear the other side of the political aisle as well as my own. But Democrats and so called liberals have made it completely impossible to have any type of dialogue with them. So yes the 33 year old black female liberal who's childfree autistic and a gamer voted for Trump.
No one's brain washing no one were just learning in our schools I'm literally trying to raise my algebra 1 grade
When Dems lost they looked at the common American and told them they were wrong and they need to do better. Im not a Republican but I voted trump. The average person screamed for 4 years that we wanted change. Kamala said nothing would change and that sealed my choice
There are a few things that bother me about how people talk about the election.
1) Voter turnout is rarely taken into account. It is dishonest to say X% of Y group voted for Z candidate unless those stats. take into account all of the voting eligible members of that group (this includes people who did not vote and those that went 3rd party).
2) Pundits and party insiders seem to have an incorrect understanding of how moderate voters operate.They assume that moderates are looking for some sort of average between the liberal and conservative view on every issue, In reality moderates have conservative views on some issues and liberal views on other issue - this is why they are swing voters. They do not have views that neatly fit into either party's ideology.
3) Too much time has been spent on looking at the preferences and opinions of voting groups that are either too numerically insignificant (never
Trump Republicans + hard left activists) or too unreliable (people under 35).
YES 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
To voting progressives, everyone under #1 is held culpable for Trumps win. Regardless of their personal views.
American white lady millennial here- Zadie Smith’s interview with Ezra Klein made a lot of sense when she talked about people advocating against their interest to spite the system that doesn’t listen to them. That rings true here
@@Pangaea83 but how many people were even doing that? 38% of eligible voters didn't even vote meaning Trump is only supported by 31% of the voting population with Kamala accounting for 30%.
People need to realize that race and sex aren’t the only issues in the world.
Another example of a false inference is associating Trump with a better economy than Harris.
Not really.
It's just that Trump was precovid and Biden/Harris was post.
Reality is the economy was better back then.
Why is the debate

While I agree with most of the points made in the video, your comment about women in Afganistan is just disappointing and embarrassing. This is a classical case of “whataboutism”. What can progressives in the US can do about gender apartheid in a country halfway around the world? And why would they be thinking about it while going into elections deciding the faith of women’s rights in America? Why do those have to be compared in the first place? To say that the issues American women go through are not “serious enough”? Dying because of the bureaucratic hell abortion ban created sounds pretty serious. Trans kids k*ll*ng themselves is pretty serious. Migrants (including legal ones) being threatened deportation back to the countries where they are not safe is pretty serious.
It’s not like progressives care about some minor, insignificant issues. They’re just more niche, which makes them a bad case for campaign ads, and not relatable to the majority of the population. This is a marketing campaign issue. It has to be addressed, and other more general topics have to be at the forefront of the Democratic Party if they want to get enough support. They are preoccupied by identity politics, and it’s a failing strategy. But we also have to understand that there’s a reason for that.
When one party says “X group is evil, we’ll deprive them of rights”, the opposing party can’t just ignore that. It takes a couple of minutes debunk each momentary hateful take, and bigots use it to their advantage. While progressives are busy putting out flames of hatred by talking and talking and talking, bigots get to “focus on the real issues” and make it look like bigotry is just a small part of their discourse. But it absolutely isn’t.
American women aren't losing their rights. Legal immigrants are not being targeted. Just have the baby and give it up for adoption. Or hand it over to the state. Or don't get pregnant until you are with the right guy. Abortions have been weaponized by the Democratic Party to target minority women and 99% of them are done for financial reasons. If you are having an abortion for financial reasons, then you should not be allowed to open up your legs. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should do it... And that trans issue has always been a thing.
I so agree. This was well put.
@@AlltherestofusHow many times does Trump have to say he s not doing anything about abortion and is leaving it up to the states? When will you get that through your thick heads.
@@beefybitcoin8085how many times will he and his Project 2025 cohorts have to tell you that they support that plan and will do all they can to enforce a federal law against abortion and birth control, before you get it through you thick, illiterate skull?

You sound very privileged
this is a good video but i feel like you might be mixing up progressivism with liberalism
Yes because she doesn’t know wtf she’s talking about
I think people in The UK don't always realise that terms like 'leftist', 'liberal' and 'progressive' seem to have quite different meanings in The US. I mean, imagine thinking Biden or Harris are 'progressive' or that Bernie is "far left".
i guess its because the average social media democrat that kamala catered to is a liberal. and she is talking about them. being liberal does not mean you are right wing per say. you can harbor left wing views while identifying as a liberal. but I do think that liberalism at the core is not the solution we need as it does not solve the class conflict that is constantly over shadowed over culture wars and identity politics these days. liberalism at its core (IMO) is not progressive as it only pushes for progress in an individual liberty basis.
Why are you purposely downplaying the fact that abortion has been done illegal in several US states? That kind of stuff doesn't happen in a progressive civilized country.
You sound like you actually support Trump.
Sorry to break it to you: a civilized society decided that abortion shouldn't be birth control.

I wonder if the “radical” aspect about it is how it’s presented by these folks online. Why not just live your life and not advertise this as some kind of “movement” and encouraging other women to join you.
They need to show their anger about it. Lash out. SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! Totally not extrinsically motivated lol.
The same way as most mgtow are bitter.
I think most men want women to have lower body counts, especially if they want life partners, so in the end they are just doing what the majority of men went.
@@ClementineDaydream Ummm, literally all of Western society is a movement encouraging women to join up, get married and have kids. It's entirely fine to go, in response, 'ummm, I chose different, and I like my choice'. Not seeing how all of society propagandizes marriage and kids for women 24/7, is like a fish who doesn't see water.
I find it hilarious how much centrism drives some people on the left nuts, it would seem the nuance is something they cannot abide by because it doesn't buy into the, "agree with me or you're a fascist" attitude, the amount of people begrudged over Kidology's take In the comments over this is bemusing.
Fun because I’m a centrist and my Republican family members call me a commie because of it. It goes both ways.
What’s frustrating to me is that people who wanted change voted for the candidate who was already president and failed to deliver on change and who we voted out over a candidate who hasn’t been president yet.
Kamala wasnt president. Vice presidents dont actually do much besides act as ambassadors to other countries and a few things within the country. It is mostly a "break in case of emergency" pick in case the actual president is unable to serve.
I think you missed the point of the video
She was vice president and hasn’t said what she’d do differently to Biden. The excuse with Trump is that the democrat controlled senate blocked a lot of his policies
A vice president isn't the president they do not set policy they do not have any real power. They're a glorified consultant l. I do not understand how anyone who took a govt class in high school does not know this.
Harris LITERALLY said she saw nothing she'd do nothing different than Biden
You lost me at "[Trump's] audiences have generally looked far more representative of America" WWWHAAAAT? 😱
I am actually wildly confused by this
I mean, they have.
In what way was Harris more so? Her only demographics of large scale support were young single women, college educated professionals and black/Hispanic women. Collectively still a smaller proportion of the population (hence why she got fewer votes). Most people in America don’t actually go to university/college and those that do seem to always forget that they’ve been in a minority bubble not representative of the public.
The fact that he won means that she’s right
Shocker the party that doesn’t outright discriminate won 😮
Seeing liberals/leftists getting mad in the comments only shows how little awareness they have.
Also the ire they had towards different minority groups after the election only shows that their “intersectionality” was never genuine and that ideology, to them, reigns supreme above all else. It’s why I stopped calling myself a democrat/liberal after 2016 and have been voting third party since. I never want to align myself with condescending bigots on the left just like how I don’t want to align with overt bigots on the right.
The smugness of the left towards minority groups that didn’t vote for Harris was nothing short of vomit-inducing. I didn’t even vote for Trump but I “get” (and I use that term very loosely) why ppl would. Many ppl voted Trump as a middle finger to the Democratic Party and its supporters, as retribution for democrats thinking they’re owed support from minorities.
But whatever, this message will fall on deaf ears and they’ll continue to brow beat everyone with their virtue-signaling, making everyone else the problem while making zero time for introspection. It’ll just be the same thing if they lose in 2028 👌🏾
It’s basically the same for me. I hate the intolerance towards minorities on the right just as much as I hate the intolerance of the left toward majorities and political dissidents.
These people are EXACTLY why we all vote for Trump! Literally i used to be a leftist, but the last 4 years sent me RUNNING over to the conservative side.
I think you are waaaaay off base. When discussing why people voted for Trump you point to general macro trends like the economy or a general pushback againsy wokeness/identity politics. But when you point to the behaviors of progressives you hyper focus on the very narrow group of people performatively grandstanding. Its the opposite of if I were to portray all Trump voters as Facists that want a monarchy of the Trump family.
She showed her ass with this video, why so much focus on the 4b movement most of this women were angry and joking because of this
This!!!
These women are representative of the narrow group of people, white, privileged and college educated, who are the prevailing influence in the progressive movement, almost to the exclusion of everyone else. It is a tyranny of a minority who are embedded and/or control the most powerful social institutions: education, media and government.
Anyone who publicly questions or dissents risks serious consequences including the loss of their job. Those consequences fall especially hard on other progressives.
If you can't speak for yourself only way to counter the movement is by voting for someone who will speak and act on your behalf.
The irony is that these women are emblematic of a movement that is doing the greatest harm to established women's rights. And because the cultural effects are so penetrating and pervasive, it's going to be difficult to restore them unscathed.
Showing right wingers as only fascists is what you actually always do
People performatively grandstanding are endorsed by the democrat party.
Everyone is talking about how they voted based on the economy, and I have not heard ONE person explain why they think Trump will make them personally any richer.
For me to take these people at their word, their words would have to form a coherent cause and effect relationship.
I think Americans vote based on vibes. That applies across the spectrum. We don’t understand or care about most policies that don’t have an immediate, simplistic effect on us personally, and largely don't bother to do any research on subjects before we vote for them. We either go with our political tribe or we make a choice based on the personality of the candidate. When we need to logically justify that choice to someone, we throw out talking points that we don't really understand in a desperate bid to not sound stupid.
But we are stupid. We're ignorant, self-centered, idoitic people who elect ignorant, self-centered, idiotic leaders.
We are a nation of willfully uneducated, anti-intellectual people that largely don't know what they're talking about, who throw a temper tantrum when someone correctly points out that we don't know what we're talking about.
If Trump had a consistent advantage, it's that manipulating foolish people isn't a question of cunning, but of shamelessness. It's about how low you're willing to bring yourself.
Is there something important enough that you aren't willing to lie about it? Do you feel the need to make only promises you can keep? Is there a corner of your soul that you wouldn't sell for a vote?
If so, you're fighting an uphill battle against an opponent who will always, without fail, say what he thinks people want to hear.
And because Americans are monumental idiots, most of us don’t pay close enough attention to catch liars like Trump. They are sufficiently distracted by his false promises.
So long as Americans are unwilling to make decisions on the basis of evidence, we're fucked.
I'm voting for trump because the economy was better when he was in office. Kamala has basically said she'd do the same shit as Biden, and shit sucks under Biden
@@spookyjones6577 You don't think those things might have something to do with factors outside the president's control?
Like the war in Ukraine, or the backlash from the pandemic? Biden inherited a plague ridden nation.
I can't really say more because the problem you're outlining is so vague. Sucks how?
I've also heard that during and after the pandemic, we had a record number of incumbent parties in countries all around the world losing the elections in their countries, and being replaced by other parties, no matter if the ruling party in any of these countries was left or right leaning. Basically, a lot of people around the world aren't informed enough, they just saw prices increasing and the inflation happening, didn't connect it to covid, but blamed whatever party was in power in their country, and voted them out. It even happened in my country in Europe, after having one party winning elections for 30 years, they were replaced at the end of covid.
A lot of people (especially Americans) somehow don't realize that the pandemic and the resulting inflation happened in almost every country in the entire world, no matter which party was in power.
What's also interesting, when it comes to the US, the US had the best and the fastest recovery from inflation out of all the countries with developed economies (G7), and that happened under Biden.
Plus I have to add that I've heard that Trump, at the beginning of the covid pandemic, called Putin and asked him to decrease the production of oil for the next two years, which caused gas prices to increase dramatically.
I also want to add a quote that I've heard from John Oliver (I think, and I'm paraphrasing):
"Trump lies so constantly, that you can pick and choose which things you believe he believes, so you can create in your head an ideal version of him that aligns perfectly with your own beliefs."
For example, when it comes to abortion, whichever side you believe on that issue, you can find quotes from Trump that align with your own beliefs, one day he says: "I'm the biggest supporter of abortion rights, I will fight for your right to abortion if I win the election", but another day he says: "I'm the biggest pro-life supporter, I'm the one who appointed judges who overturned Roe v Wade, and I will ban abortion if I win the election". So if you support abortion rights, you will focus only on the first quote, and when asked about the second quote, you will say: "he doesn't actually believe that, he's being hyperbolic", while if you're anti-abortion, you will focus on the second quote, while ignoring the first one.
And you can do that for each one of your beliefs, since he's full of contractions, and especially if you don't focus on his policies or if you're not informed about what he has actually done in office, aka his actions, not his words, you can easily vote for him, or your ideal of him.
And this ignorance to his policies is only supported by how many people, after the election, Googled: "What are tariffs?"
Current economic issues are the result of congress being unable/unwilling to meaningfully execute any of Biden's campaign promises while letting COVID releaf programs expire. The Dems have been operating under the false belief that they should not fight dirty or make use of the bully pulpit to get things done. Instead they believe that if enough "bipartisan" bills get blocked the public will eventually wake up to the problem of Republican obstruction. This of course is a bad idea because in the meantime people continue to struggle without any help.
The people I know who voted for Trump did so because he gave them hope. His message was “I care about all Americans, and I want to make things better for you.” Kamala’s message was “ I care about SOME Americans and my biggest priority is taking away individual state’s rights to regulate abortions.” A lot of women, myself included, want to see more resources for mothers instead of just abortion. Most abortions are from consensual acts and are down for economic reasons. A baby shouldn’t have to die just because their mother is poor.
What are you talking about?? Harris and Walz ran a centrist campaign saying they wanted to unite this country, drop the division and help the working class. Please show me sources where her verbiage excludes anyone?
Wrong. Kamala repeatedly said during the campaign she wanted to help create an economy that would benefit all Americans, and most abortions are done by women who already have kids, usually for medical necessity. Denying abortions to women especially life saving ones, just leaves children without their mother because pro natalists are selfish and greedy about forcing new-life through any woman's available womb, and don't care about the mother creating that life.
Lovedd this video.
As an American woman of mixed race, I've always objectively sided with the minorities and marginalized people of my country and the entire world. Used to call myself a "Liberal" but its honestly just a different side of the same coin, the majority of "liberals" are just as hateful and ignorant as the conservatives. Watching the two-party system as I grew up, I've noticed it's all morphed into the same thing. I almost didn't vote in this election, but I remembered it is my duty as a citizen to do the research, educate myself, and help my country decide what it needs most. The unfortunate truth is everyone focuses on just the two parties, which have really become one. Then they don't consider any other options. This election year I voted for Kamala simply because I absolutely was terrified of Trump's foreign and domestic policies. In my opinion, as I felt myself backed into a corner to make a decision, I knew I hated Kamala's inability to properly address the war in the middle east and I hated that she so fervently said she will support Israel, and I absolutely do not trust anyone who is so militaristic and authoritative- that "I'm speaking. :)" thing she did almost made me throw my ballot away... I care a lot about what goes on in the world, what our politicians do, and how it makes us as citizens look. In the same hand, I knew Trump would love war, and perpetuate it as much as possible, while doing everything he can on our own soil to make us get more pregnant, stupid and poor, while him and all his buddies get more and more filthy rich.
When you look at the states in my country that scored lowest in education, you'll notice they are all Red States that support Trump. The true problem in my country is ignorance. Ignorance breeds every single other evil that plagues my country, truly. Not to mention my country's sheer neglect of mental and emotional health and stigmatization of the entire field. So we have a bunch of ignorant mentally ill people running around and voting.... I wish I could say I was surprised but I'm not. Not all people who are ignorant are inherently hateful... but I do believe anyone who is inherently hateful is, in fact, ignorant. That's a lot of my country. Not all, but a lot.
Trump literally didn't start any war in his first term, how do you come to the conclusion that he "would love war"?
Its always been the same thing. Yall do realize the democrats hired the kkk to stop black people from voting back then.
They are all warmongers. Kamala had no stance on anything she was an empty suit.
Lols. What I love about this comment is the inability to self reflect. Imagine thinking yourself so highly by calling the majority ignorant. Have you ever have this thinking that maybe, maybe, if i think everyone around me is the problem, maybe I was the problem all along?
Which part of foreign and domestic policy of trump exactly you find problematic that you’re so terrified of? 🤡
It doesn't seem like you educated yourself. Everything you said is leftist talking points. And if you hate Israel, then you should also hate Ukraine. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you support Ukraine and their Bandera loving nationalists.
Call the other side the worst names, racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc, then claim the other side is divisive. Wtf
Then act shocked they wont vote for you. You know what put my wife on a U turn. When a feminist called our at the time unborn son, a FUTURE GRAPIST. She never voted blue again.
Are you seriously getting annoyed that people are calling out some conservatives for being despicable humans?
If you don't want us to call you out then stop being sexist and racist!
@@mitchelsnodgrass7028 The point is that the vast majority of conservatives are very accepting of people with different opinions while the liberals have a view that you either vote our way or you are sexist and racist with nothing to back that claim. I’ll even provide some examples:
Trump has appointed an unprecedented number of women to top positions of power in his administration. Women that both sides agree are very capable (whether they agree with policy or not)
On the issue of race, Trump has done more for the black community and all minorities than any other president: Opportunity Zones, the Envision centers he made possible with Steve Harvey and Ben Carson for inner cities, Prison Reform, the First Step Act, then championed the Platinum Plan with Ice Cube. He met with the founder of BET to discuss how he can improve what the government is doing to assist the black community.
He was also the only president who gave historically black colleges long term funding of $250m a year when no other president would. Then Kamala took it away within her first 100 days in office. Black business and home ownership was all time high under Trump. Before he was president he gave black entrepreneurs loans when the banks wouldn’t. He sued the city of Palm Beach to allow blacks and Jews into his club. Some of the Black Lives Matter co-founders endorsed Trump.
You would do you party and yourself a favor to find common ground to create a constructive conversation and then explain what changes you would like to see and why you feel that way as opposed to just attacks that clearly fall short of any impact on the discourse.
@mitchelsnodgrass7028 Not despicable human beings. Most of you guys really use virtue signalling to cover up your disdain for the working class
@gunnara6044 is your argument seriously that... racist and misogynistic people are not despicable, so we shouldn't call them out when they say horrible shit for the purpose of making women or minorities feel inferior?
Why would we have disdain for working class citizens? I thought about listing a ton of policies and legislation that the democrats have passed over the past 20 years that helped the middle class, but I know you people think everything democrats do is bad and everything Trump does is good
4B movement sounds great. I wish more men would stop centering their personal value and worldview around whether they can get a gf or not. If women check-out, dudes will be forced to look inward and self-derive value. Win-win.
No they won't.
@dumfriesspearhead7398 Right. And the 4B thing won't gain any real traction either. Women have declared they'll swear off men in the 60's and 70's with "political lesbianism", and then again in 2016 and now again today. But does it ever grow or stick? No.
So if we're going to live in fantasy land where humans stop being human, that's my take lol
No that will not happen

Same goes with "men"

I don't really think of it quite like that, it's just kind of a generalization. Sure most people have the same wants and all of them have the same needs but each person is different. I guess I don't take too much stock in categories of things

Honestly, i dont necessarily think of the shaving heads as "im ugly now" outright. Like, have you paid attn to how a LOT of men talk about women's hair choices? Theres a ton of men who think women must have long hair to be beautiful and anything on the shorter side is ugly and butch. Its a weird beauty standard that "it has to be long no matter what." I have thick hair that is heavy and cut it into a bob once a year or so and have multiple men lamenting when i do it. Its fucking weird!
I’m not old enough to vote yet, but if I were, I would’ve voted for Kamala. She’s incredibly far from a perfect candidate, but I do think that she’s the better option. Her economic policies are flawed, but they won the favor of 23 Nobel prize winning economists, and Trump’s proposed policies are more than questionable. Just looking at his cabinet picks has me wondering how his presidency is going to play out.
On the topic of the 4B movement, I’m not sure American women realize the original purpose behind it. South Korea has the worst gender pay gap in the OECD. In 2016, the incidence of intimate partner violence was found to be 41.5%, compared to the global average of 30%. One of the biggest motivators for joining the movement was when the government launched a pink birth map visualizing the number of women of reproductive age in each district. It’s meant to tackle a wide variety of severe and prevalent issues. Also, the blue bracelet thing is shockingly stupid.
As far as ‘saving democracy’ goes, democrats are failing almost as miserably as Trump supporters. The increasing political polarization of the United States is an issue we’re all too comfortable ignoring. America has chosen Trump as its next president. Prioritizing democracy means accepting those results. It’s fine to feel disappointed, perhaps even enraged, but shunning men and eager mothers will solve.. what, exactly?
Performative activism at its finest. They’ll wear a blue bracelet and shave their head, but supporting local businesses and voting in state elections is beyond them. True change always seems so far out of reach.
Believe it or not, most of these these "23 Nobel prize winning economists" are clueless about the economy.
You're young, and it's typical for the young and inexperienced like you to vote left. But then, they live, they learn and they start to vote right.
Thank God you're not old enough to vote, then.
@@raemackinnon Can you explain who you voted for and why?

your point on appropriating political movements from other countries spoke to me on a personal level. i live in finland, and in the last couple of years i've seen people of my age (older gen z) using the acronym 'ACAB' to describe the finnish police force, which has been annoying me immensely. the lack of understanding cultural and political context is astounding to me, because ACAB is a movement specifically meant to target the american police force which is literally built upon slavery. that cannot ever be applied to a country like finland, no matter how heartbreaking it is to see one police officer accidentally and unintentionally kill a citizen who had a firearm with them.
everything else about this video kind of fell flat for me tho. i may be finnish, but my girlfriend is an american, living in a red state as a lesbian. we talk a lot about american politics bc it quite literally is connected to my gf's safety as a woman and as a queer person in a queer relationship. to leave out these aspects of the discussion on the election and only deliberately using them to harp on a small minority of annoying progressives is disingenuous to say the least. as someone else said in the comments, PLEASE TALK TO INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISTS! they will offer you much more realistic and rational arguments and points of view than ignorant progressives that we have been criticizing for YEARS.
i think it's very important that you're criticizing the left in your videos. however, i would like to see you sometimes talk to *actual* leftists who aren't shaving their heads bc of a co-opted political movement from south korea.
Most liberals are intersectional feminists in most of their talking points
Honestly, I agree with you. I’m an enby lesbian from America, and I do think she’d benefit from talking to people who believe in intersectional feminism.
Intersectional feminism is something I deeply believe in. Many facets of one’s life can affect other aspects.
And yeah, I agree, she’s specifically talking about the loud minority. Was I upset about the election? Sure, but I only really talk about it with my friends, and trusted family members.
As a 20 year old, I’m fucking tired. Like I wanna transition, but I do feel like trump’s candidacy will literally prolong an already difficult process. Also, do I like Trump?? No, I don’t, I haven’t for years. This being said, I’m not going to literally dox someone??? Like what the fuck. I of course have anger towards people who say bonkers shit like that. That being said, it’s rather frustrating to have your concerns be kinda dismissed because people view it as radical progressivism. Like, I fear about not even being able to save up the money once I get out of college to start saving for gender affirming care. It’s tiring as hell.
Also the first thought I had when I heard about people co-opting the 4B movement from SK, I was like: the context is so different in both of our countries, like- it’s not something that I feel like is very doable in the U.S. at least. Do I get the fears that women have with it? Honestly yes. That being said, this isn’t the SAME MOVEMENT. 4B from South Korea is a completely different movement with different contexts, like how you explained ACAB with the U.S. It is different situations.
While I’m lucky enough to be in a blue state, I still fear policies spreading to my state. This being said, I worry more for the people in red states. And for the economy and how that will affect marginalized people as a whole. It will make it even harder for us, and it’s damn frustrating.
Are progressives in England all rich? Because here in Canada a huge part of “progressive” groups base their platforms on income equality.
How is electing a rich man who gives tax breaks to the rich going to help income equality?
I need to add blaming progressives for a rise in food prices is ridiculous. Food Oligarchs are the norm and they can price gouge us all they want.
In Canada it’s the NDP who were the only political party to actually go up against our food oligarch cartels.
It was the Conservatives and the Liberals who let off the food oligarchs who were shown to be price gouging and “greedflating” food prices.
Meanwhile most progressives call for a rise in local food production and supporting independent farmers.
lol I’m bald and people project onto that all the time. When black panther came out people started SALUTING me 😂. Amber Rose is bald and she was at the RNC?!
I shaved my head in the 12th grade by choice and it honestly does affect how people see you, and I don’t think it should??? It genuinely made me so much more interested in how both men and women perceive women who choose to feel and look beautiful on their terms. 17:48
I will say as someone who considers herself right-wing, I find your channel interesting because the comment section is actually quite diverse, you have people from "your side" disagreeing with you or agreeing with you quite strongly. But you also have the typical right wingers who obviously will be more warm to this content because you've said things that they say themselves (at least when it comes to elitism in progressive circles) I would agree it's a bit stupid to co-opt different movements that lack cultural context within your own country, clearly South Korea has their own problems regarding the men/women divide that quite frankly as an American I do not understand, because obviously when you don't live in that context you will not understand why people react the way they do. I have spoken with people outside my country who don't really understand why Americans voted for Trump, but to me, based on how I was raised and based on what I understand from my own country. He is for better or for worse one of the most American choices one could make. However, even within America clearly you have a divide not just based on upbringing but also on completely different views of reality as a whole. I'd agree that people are overall misinformed (myself included in all honesty) To the people that voted for Trump, or would have, they most likely had a completely different view and understanding of what that election meant to them. And same for Kamala voters. So for the people that are like "you voted or supported this side because you're x y and zed" is just complete hogwash. Maybe you disagree with the reality those people live in or think is the truth of the matter. But you are winning ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, NONE, ZILCH, ZERO by pushing the divisive narratives. Understand what the hell people voted for from their own mouths and decide from there.

@FishareFriendsNotFood972 how do you know that? The footage is very limited and we don't know what happened before she started recording.
Hey Kidology! - I'm a South African female too, I don't lean progressive, but I always appreciate your content so much. I recently posted a similar analysis on my channel, and I hoped that you would clarify the exact sentiments of "nuance" and "complexity" from both sides. Personally, I understand liberals' frustration, even though I disagree with their ideological priorities. "Progressives love nothing more than theory" - absolutely, because they can't fathom how half of rationally minded America could vote for a "racist, convicted criminal and s*x predator". I can't. Most people, including Republicans can't - which is why I think it would help to explain WHY Republicans don't believe they didn't (i.e, the nuance, the complexity). I keep hearing from progressives "I just don't understand" - but stating, throughout this video, how severely they don't understand to certain parody of their honest frustration doesn't help them understand more (in my opinion). You stated that "you would not be so bold, so delusional, and so self righteous as to claim that this is because of white supremacy" ... so, what is it because of? Why would you imply that sentiment (shared by many progressives), implicitly delusional? I don't agree with most progressives, but I don't find their frustration delusional... at all. Loved your points, looking forward to more from you, as always - this discussion is really hard, and you probably did a better job than I did😅
I am done with kidology after this video, she is an incel
That statement from the women with alopecia actually broke my heart.
As one living in italy, i'll say my opinion on why democrats lost, despite having the best candidate and the best program, best economics and not so woke. For starters, from the precedent election, trump lost voters, harris lost more voters, so she lost. Why? ( All the motives, not in order of importance)
- Harris wasn't liked and went with no primaris
-Harris on gaza and ucraine wasn't liked
Democrats still made quite republican program, with hard fist on immigration ecc. It wasn't even much on lgbt rights, or identity. Trump couldn't hold a candle on logic. But Trump didn't win with logic, because i think on an emotional level Democrats and the left have made a great work in getting disliked by everyone, even their on base, me included. And it must be said it's not even the party, it's everyone that feels progressives on the internet. Let's do a list:
-calling fascist everyone who disagrees with the left or vote for Trump. Really few people consider themself fascist, many consider themself practical, so that's just namecalling. It also makes them fell desperate
-identity politics. America more than other places has a dream built on merit. Now if minorities get in better position, they'll say they didn't earn it, and white people lose job oppotunities. Also so many things like courses and scholarship based on skin and gender instead on effective difficulties. It's racism
- woke. Lgbt, race and gender thematics have become an excuse for bad product. As a gamer, everytime people say it's bad game with woke elements or badly implemented woke elements, journals, fucking journals start bashing the white cis etero gamer. And it works for films, tv series. And it bring me to the next point
- people feel they can't defend what they love, they can't say what they think, they are not as free as before of speaking or writing. This is what the left feel, a bunch of bullies.
- the left can't address any of the points above, they can't even acknowledge them, for the last 10 years they didn't come back one time on real class problems
- pseudo feminism. "Not all men" is a perfectly valid answer to a message that says "all men are rapist, murderers, or are friends with rapist and murderers. Also men don't care about women, if they work all day is only to inflate their ego, and not forget that women have been oppressed for thousand of years so it's perfectly fine for me too bash this 15 year male for what his ancestors did, he grew up in the patriarchy, whatever it is, it's evil". The amount of hate i feel online. While men are still the most homeless, the most killed, the most suicides, the less healthy, a third of domestic abuse, and can't attract a woman on dating up, and can't approach them outside. This is what the left cultivated and can't acknowledge.
So Trump wins on the work made by the left on the last 8 years. The left kept everyone distant and alienated it's own voters. And Democrats are the left in America.
- women are not their uterus. Sure, losing that abortion law was bad, but abortion and contraceptives haven't been prohibited, you just need a car to go were abortion are. Women have bigger issue, like how go get out their parents house, or eat
-the left is full of people that feels crazy. 4B example above
7:39 It’s important to note that NAs have historically dealt with a lot of voter suppression for every presidential election due to the way reservation addresses work. In this country, you need to have an address with a house number in order to register to vote, and a lot of Native American reservation addresses don’t have a house number, so a majority of NAs on reservations can’t vote. We definitely are dealing with a rise in conservatism throughout the world and even within minority communities but I don’t think we can look at the NA voting statistics to support that because it isn’t a truly accurate reflection of actual NA sentiments.
@@Maniionmars Exactly. It definitely shows how isolated quantitative data is the furthest thing from objective analysis of social phenomenon.
Jojo!!
Yeah its very silly that none of these voter demographic charts include the people who are of voting age but did not vote
✨nuance✨
Native American presidential voter turnout rates are also low because they tend to prioritize tribal elections over national elections. This is rooted in a lot of Native Americans' mistrust of the government--for obvious reasons.
If you don't like American Progressives or Liberals, just say that. We are not in a frenzy, we are just tired of American racism, misogyny and xenophobia and its disheartening to see that its alive and well in 2024. Sorry, but since it is WE that have to live here, give us a few more weeks to process things. Also, I am not sure why the 4B movement (a fringe movement in the USA which will probably go no where) got so much focus in this video. No one would be feeling any kind of way if it was a Mitt Romney that won. Its the fact that TRUMP won. Its concerning and disturbing. Already Neo-Nazi groups are making appearances around the country. WW are lying about being "jumped" by Liberal women and are threatening to shoot us. There will be more to come. But hey have fun, you don't have to live here.
If it helps with some anxiety, Amir Odom, a black gay man, has an in-depth video about “why we shouldn’t fear a trump presidency”, which has been helpful for a lot of people.

@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 he will not be in power forever, as you well know. unless he will somehow manage to get rid of term limits, which he won't. fear mongering is destructive at this point.

As a black 23 year old female, I am pushed right now to reveal that I did not vote this year. This has everything to do with my current changing mental state: I’ve been fighting to maintain my sobriety this year, have been pulling myself from under the control of my parent (to be able to properly develop financially, emotionally, etc) as well as finding myself no longer believing in God and doing my best to accept my sexuality and the fact I may never have the desire to be with a man. I am not proud of what I did, I just am in a place where I just don’t trust myself and what I want for my life because of having to now learn to transition into how I want my life to look versus how my family/other influences wanted my life to look and knowing the mistakes I’ve made in the past.

That's because epidurals cause spinal injuries a lot of women that had such have NASTY back problems. That's why it's illegal
"I HAVE CANCER,IM NOT STUPID" is the best response to 4B.

I've also heard that during and after the pandemic, we had a record number of incumbent parties in countries all around the world losing the elections in their countries, and being replaced by other parties, no matter if the ruling party in any of these countries was left or right leaning. Basically, a lot of people around the world aren't informed enough, they just saw prices increasing and the inflation happening, didn't connect it to covid, but blamed whatever party was in power in their country, and voted them out. It even happened in my country in Europe, after having one party winning elections for 30 years, they were replaced at the end of covid.
A lot of people (especially Americans) somehow don't realize that the pandemic and the resulting inflation happened in almost every country in the entire world, no matter which party was in power.
What's also interesting, when it comes to the US, the US had the best and the fastest recovery from inflation out of all the countries with developed economies (G7), and that happened under Biden.
Plus I have to add that I've heard that Trump, at the beginning of the covid pandemic, called Putin and asked him to decrease the production of oil for the next two years, which caused gas prices to increase dramatically
Tbh I don't think the inflation now is caused by the pandemic

I clearly stated that we "these things are multifaceted and we shouldn't play the blame game"
Thank you
The white woman thing is a product of people basterizing intersectional analysis: instead of focusing on policy and activist projects that center the most marginalized (impoverished migrant/ black/Native American women and children) people just focus their ire on privilege white women. This leaves privileged men and abusive marginalized/left wing men to do whatever they want.
Yeah no that disturbed me, mostly the white women that voted blue but were so ashamed of their racial identity. Like, you can acknowledge your privilege while being proud of who you are as an individual. No one, not even a black woman, should ever be able to talk down on you at any point because you allowed it due to your shame? YOU didn't vote red, be proud of your values and beliefs and don't allow anyone to discredit it. Grow and learn and please keep your head up :(( Idc, it was disturbing to see.
It was genuinely disturbing. But also, no, blame isn't only being casted on white women, right now more eyes are being turned on the 'whys' of why men voted for Johnie over there.
Loving your content Kidology! Came across your RUclips channel some weeks ago and have been really enjoying your fresh take and your videos! Greetings from a fellow Brit girl 🇬🇧🤍
Women can shave their heads if they want. Some women really rock it too! Like the woman with alopecia looks great. But as a girl’s girl, it’s hard to watch fellow women clearly having a mental breakdown online for the whole world to see, forever. Especially because a lot of them were probably pushed to mental instability from being online too much. So now they are isolating themselves more. It’s sad.
Yeah I think it's pretty idiotic to frame these women as representative of any poltical group when they are clearly a small minority that is either having a mental health episode or are shamless attention seakers...either way it's not very helpful to give these women this level of attention (it is either cruel or indulgent). People need to learn to use the block button.
Seriously most women in the us still have hair on their head. Im not even american but even i know those women in the videos are all combined less than ten women that were in shock cause of the election. Why would she put so much focus on this and those trump supporters in the comments just shows that she is closer to them in her thinking. Which for a lesbian, black, south african women is just crazy..until you remember her female incel video
@@redmaple1982yeah if she is progressive it makes her movement look bad but I do appreciate the nuance that she is able to be both progressive and not just parrot all the same points as everyone else
@@adamjebediah oh I'm OK with political critique but I would argue that Kidology is smart enough to realize a few 3 people attention seeking/having a meltdown on tiktok does not constitute a meaningful political movement.
@@redmaple1982 I'd agree with that
You nailed it in three minutes. The problem is *_rationalism._* Cognitive scientist George Lakoff has been warning progressives they are irrationally rationalistic since the 1990s.
Great video, as per usual, Kid! ❤️
They went from pink hats to blue bracelets, lol.
The reason Kamala failed is because she was not chosen nor popularly elected. She was shoved in the race with only 3 months to campaign on literally nothing. The woman has no unique ideas and would just be a second Biden term, but probably worst due to her lack of experience, lack of knowledge, and lack of understanding of the American people. You described her campaign trail correctly as centering around the middle class and college educated in society, ignoring the average American. As a middle class, college graduate who is among these type of people, I can confirm they have an out of touch air to them and do not know the struggles of average Americans. The only thing Kamala publicly ran on was abortion and identity politics. Even though she had an economic plan, she rarely professed it. She did not lose because she’s a woman or because she is of color, Hillary Clinton disproves this by winning the popular vote in 2016, and Obama disproves this by being elected for two terms. The left abandoned its average constituents and they turned right.
At least she’s not trump
"lack of experience" wasn't she vice president??? (Overall I agree with you but that was strange)
Ewwwww girl just say you have problems with women. FFS.
@@LibraryofAcousticMagic3240 Thanks for taking the time to read my comment. I think it depends on what you define as experience. Occupying a space imo doesn’t count, proactiveness and leadership equates to experience in my view, and Harris clearly lacked that. Even throughout her career as district attorney then attorney general in CA, she followed the policies of those around her without thinking for herself (hence why her former career cannot be described as progressive, despite her stated beliefs). Experience requires thinking for oneself, even if you do have a subordinate role such as VP.
Totally agree with everything said here as a black woman myself who voted for her
The people ushering in the patriarchy (in a dress) and attempting to remove the word "woman" from our vocabulary are calling everyone with a different opinion, misogynists.
I wanna live in a society where women opting out of childbearing for the right reasons can be taken seriously. This hyped up rendition of 4B is NOT leading us to that. I have chronic illness, and while having a baby may not end my life, the toll on my health would be significant, making it it very hard to even raise said child. Many women have valid reasons to avoid procreating, we have more education on womens health and complications of pregnancy. For some of us, its not a trend, or a spite to men, or a political stance. We would like to be taken seriously in society, plz and thx 💜
This narrative of the "enlightened centrist" and "fact over feelings" has been a core component of your channel. As a scientist, I could appreciate the sentiment, though our views were diametrically opposed. However, after this video, and ESPECIALLY after your video talking about that man who strung you along and rejected a relationship with you, you have some soul searching to do. You are not as detached as you believe (not to be parasocial, as I'm going by only what you have shown us). If these videos are a reflection of your current state of philosophy, I am letting you know that this lack of fully realized and cohesive worldview is now very, very hard to ignore in your content. Your content is simply not as robust and objectively presented as it used to be. It has lowered in quality in ways that I can no longer ignore. Perhaps this style generates more revenue or perhaps this is where you've ended up. Wishing you the best in your journey. Maybe I will see you on my feed and click on it in the future, but for now, I will be moving on.
it almost like hating and calling a group stupid for their differences is gonna make em double down or quadruple down
exactly
Yes, the GOP have made willful ignorance and being proud of it "cool".
As if that same group doesn't insult and degrade the other side. they are crybullies and hypocrites as well as being stupid.
They spent the past 4-8 years insulting men and young boys and are surprised that many of them went to redpill spaces which serve as a pipeline to right-wing ideologies. They understand how repulsive redpill rhetoric is to most women, but don't see how their own rhetoric will be repulsive to the same men that they want to vote the same way as them.
@@persebra So Basically Trump voters & Progressives are exactly the same lol
I genuinely don’t understand the point of this video? The research you did is lacking and your interpretation of some of these videos is very… interesting. It’s easy to be apathetic and mocking of people that are grieving when you aren’t affected.
Sweetie, go do your own research and make a video debunking her claims/ adding on to them. Otherwise, keep seething.
@@megaultradamnpeople don’t have to make videos in order to critique one
@@jazzyethecrimefighter OP is obviously invested in having this convo. A single RUclips comment isn't going to address her issues. A video, on the other hand has more reach.
@@megaultradamn Nah, what best would address the issues is her never consuming Kidology's content again, down voting this video, and being in spaces less full of creatures like you who sit in judgement but have never done anything valuable in their entire little basement dwelling lives😘
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972why was this comment so mean? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
Not the best video in terms of your research and also script. The whataboutism with Middle East oppression of women isn’t very helpful and is rather a very low talking point.
If someone has done crimes against women then becomes president- this is why a lot of women tend to feel nervous about him in office. Mainly due to this being promoted as a okay thing to do.
ok man hater
This is perhaps the best personal, well informed take I’ve seen from an individual. Master class analysis & articulation. I agree wholeheartedly with every point.
This election will be a case study for the next decade. So many different calculus & reactions that’ll no doubt reverberate through the world.
