HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2020
- Donald Trump’s presidency has changed American society. With six weeks until the most important election in a generation, Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone are crossing the US to uncover the fault lines that underpin American politics. In the vital swing state of Florida, where disinformation on Covid-19 has spread unchecked, the race for the White House is tightening by the day

Covid can not destroy the country,but China can.
Saw it first/ had to see Florida... was impressed
What is ending music?'
You NEED TO BACK and see if these people still think the covid-19 virus is a myth......PLEASE PLEASE GO BACK...
Imagine having a nurse whose job is to help those who are sick and weak who believes in "survival of the fittest".
Same here in Alberta.
As nurse i would report her but im Canadian so
Its time to "eat the rich"... or see the world become florida
I can only imagine the disparity in treatment amongst her patients.. she doesn’t deserve to be a nurse with That mentality
She shouldn’t be a nurse and I’m sure her colleagues are gonna be looking at her sideways
There's literally another video about how a nurse is pleading for people to wear a mask for the health and safety of everyone. Also, I need to be educated and why do pp hate Biden and say he's supporting 'socialism'? (I'm kiwi btw)
ah yes socialism is when you’re trying to find things in the grocery store
@@shizu7290 you might want to look at what actually happened there.
@John Burrett Say that to the president of South Africa. He's worth $500M
lol
@John Burrett Chetty gave you a 'Biden Answer,' no clue 😁🇺🇸🇵🇷🌴
@John Burrett well most know what it's not. it isn't social programs to help the less fortunate. even Russia and China have social programs. republicans think helping the least fortunate makes a country socialist. they are either the dumbest voters OR it is their way of justifying their greed.
By the way... Florida population = 22 million. Taiwan population 23 million. Florida deaths = 13,000. Taiwan deaths = 7. And in Taiwan the shops and restaurants and schools are open and the economy is doing well
7? As in just 7? Not 7,000. That's crazy
Khadijah Muhammad totally true. You can look it up. For the year 2020 ... not for a day or month... the total is 7 deaths and 510 virus cases. And the economy never shut down. Shops and restaurants are open and schools are open. People wear masks everywhere and many other safety measures have been taken since January
Why ? Because they nipped it in the bud and did not let it go out of control
And is right next to China, if not part of 'China.'
England population... 55 Million, deaths 36,000. What point were you attempting to make?
crocodile2006 England has done poorly also. And Italy , Brazil, Sweden. And some countries handled it very well such as Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Norway, Germany ... it’s fascinating. Same virus and different results
When that nurse used the phrase “Herd mentality” she was quoting an interview when Trump stupidly used that phrase when he was clearly referring to “herd immunity”. His supporters literally take his words as gospel, Christ.
He actually said "turd" then changed it to "herd." I think "turd mentality" is a much more accurate description.
@joe caterman, undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than Trump. How can he be eligible to represent anyone or be the commander in chief of a military he hasn't paid towards?
No Representation Without Taxation
@joe caterman How so? Herd immunity can't kick in unless we just allow at least 70% of people to get infected, which would require a skyrocket in deaths
@joe caterman how the fuck do you come to that conclusion?
"I'm a nurse" but for some reason am to stupid to know the difference between mentality and immunity!
Typical trump voting moron
Claims she is a nurse. Speaks about Herd Mentality. Lady, you probably work the cafeteria.
That's an insult to all cafeteria employees....
Apparently she was quoting Trump who said "herd mentality" instead of "herd immunity"
Haha! Same thought i have. Probably a school nurse or dental nurse who never worked in a hospital.

Its pretty weird how you can immediately tell just by how they look and speak which person is a Democrat and which person is a republican.
I seen broke down democrats 💀 it’s called the ghetto
@@boni_traxton9436 hahaha nice one. I've seen broken down Republicans its called rural America.
Carlovesfam I’m just sayin, most trump supporters are nice asf
Trump supporters always overweight, red faced, logo tees and obnoxious
You said a mouth full
This is absolutely terrifying. For all the American jingoism about liberty and democracy, these people unabashedly give their loyalty not to their country, not to their party, but to one man. You can’t get more un-American.
indeed. And they support ideas which are as non-democratic as can be. It makes you wonder if Americans really understand what democracy is.
@@nickl5658 true.
On the subject of democracy, if what I’m seeing in the news is true about sparse polling stations causing long drives to get there and even longer line ups once you do, it seems like democracy isn’t valued very high. Especially considering these were images of advanced voting...not even Election Day.
We just had a regional election in my country, and polling stations were all within a 15 minute drive with short wait times, and voter turnout was over 60%. There was absolutely no barrier or no disincentive to exercise the bedrock of a democracy...voting.
President Trump is America.
America is a Republic. Not a democracy.
@@silviaconrad8401 “America is a Republic not a democracy”.
First off, that’s a nonsensical trope. Yes America is not what’s considered pure democracy, but nor is it a pure republic. Like most western nations it’s a hybrid, with the common thread being representative democracy.
Second, why do right wingers even use this trope? Are you saying democracy is a fleeting concept ? I suppose it makes sense since American conservatives continuously ignore their once highly regarded values to adapt and apologize for a wannabe dictator bent on usurping America’s democracy.
That nurse said herd mentality when she meant herd immunity. 🤣
They are like the herd following their leader. Trump was the one who mispoke first. Stupidity begets stupidity.
guess she just misspoke it’s not that funny mate
@@lxaw9374 Nah, she just can’t think for herself, so she repeats what her dear leader tells her. That’s what’s funny
She's a nurse and that's embarrassing.

My god the cringe of all this !
She said “get out of our country” smdh
Could you imagine America just filled with white people like this?
Patriotic Woman she said white people like the women who told those girls to go back to their country not white people in general . you sound like you’ve told a POC to go back to their country #settleforbiden
@Patriotic Woman I love white people as much as I love my Pakistani Muslim neighbor,s my Dominican neighbors, my
Jamaican and Cambodian neighbors, my Puerto Rican friends. America is a melting pot and it is better that way. Oh,I'd love to leave if trump wins, but due to his failing response to Covid, Americans can't travel.
@Patriotic Woman Or we could try to fix it, like real Patriots do. Nobody said they don't like white people, but if you're being racist then yeah you suck.
@Patriotic Woman You're a fucking moron. Where do you think the white folk in America came from? Fell out of the moon? Every single one of your racist ass has European ancestry, but you're too thick to understand that.
Strange that Trump made a Freudian slip and talked about herd mentality and His supporters just made the same mistake !
That's what so scary about all these Trump's supporters. Their unbelievable stupidity, their morbid ignorance. They believe everything Trump said even when he is spewing rubbish and sh#t. Maybe 210000 deaths is not good enough to convince these moron.
Bc to them Drumpfs word is gospel. Thats why hes SO dangerous rn.
Trump was refering to Biden's herd.😂😂😂🇵🇷🇺🇸🌴
I know....I was thinking the same exact thing.
@@pedrorodriguez2914 love it
I am sorry to tell this lady that we are all immigrants. The only true Americans are the Native Indians who live in the American Continent for over 15000 years.
No they aren’t. That’s not how it works.
@@vladislavno HAHA! What? Sounds like Trump when challenged by facts
Actually, i was born in america, so no, i'm not an immigrant. thats not how it works. and by the way, native americans came here from asia

@@primeracalidad8320 Yeah, I'm sure these people would say "He didn't win, the election was stolen"

"We can agree to disagree."
The tone in his voice, when he said that...
That's one guy, who clearly felt that he was wasting his breath.
“I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
*Lyndon B Johnson*
You hit the nail on the head, i couldn’t put my finger on why he's voters are so blind to him.
This always been in my mind whenever I come back to this gem of a quote.
Yes. Facts!
Sometimes I got the impression that America is on the edge of its own self-destruction. But then I remember they had a civil war. Things can get very nasty, very vast in that country ... :-(
America is closer to civil war than many realize. Democracy should be secured even if it’s done by bullets.
we are ready for rematch
Herd "mentality"
Hopefully she gets furloughed.
Whole 2020 for America has been like weird South Park episode
I went to Florida for vacation... it's a beautiful place. It is sad to see people suffer like that. My observation is that, Biden shows compassion to the suffering people. Hatefulness is tearing your nice country apart.
Lived in America for 2 years during 2017 - 2019. Sad to see how weak and laughable the country looks nowadays.
Everyone is nice to each other most of the time until politics is brought up. That's when you see the true underlying hateful spirit of most Americans.
Hope America recovers from these rough past couple of years.
“hateful spirit” LMAO. There are nutjobs who lie 24/7. They’re the embarrassments here and abroad.
I lived in Florida for 20 years, im half America half British, But living in the U.S. for any amount of time will make you more proud to be British
@@lovejetfuel4071 yeah. There's a reason I left America. Ha.

Best comment of the day
It's frustrating to me that more people aren't catching on to that!
When the nurse said "it's like the flu... It's herd mentality..." Ahh, trumpers.
🤪🙄
You did a fantastic job showcasing both sides in a divided state. Great reporting 👍
5:06 I can't believe no one in the comments from what I saw talked about this eye sore. MLK Jr. would've organized a protest outside that shop if he saw that today.
Getting a guy named Laughland to present this series is gold. That’s exactly what America has become.
Good job Guardian and Oliver for the reporting here. I have so much respect for journalists that do their best to present facts and differing sides to politics. Cheers
Someone sponsor me so I can get out of this country.

Now its just a mess and nobody likes each other if they're in a different party in America
this gets me sick to my stomach. ''this mask is useless'' omg!!
"We thought George Bush was a joke"
Thank you!
"Get out of 'my' country?" Democracy dies in the dark.
Americans have no idea what socialism is
No true scotsman?
Tbf most socialists don’t even know what it is.
Trump supporters (Republican Conservatives in America) are the dumbest people in the world. Not kidding. They’re dumb as fuck given their level of disinformation, lies, and degree of being gullible to misinformation/propaganda.
Luxx ... well, in Europe it has meant “workers-rights” and elevating workers. Any of the American or European politicians using it mean it that way, while Republicans/Conservatives equate it to Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela while Donald Trump imitates all three of their dictators on a daily basis.
@@luxx1346 tbf tbh?
It’s funny to watch this a year later.

7:19 Remember kids watch less fox news and read a book 😂
And who wrote the book?
She said it correct *that thing that's in the White House* ...she summed it up TS 3:11
I’d say the top 10th percentile of supporters on both sides are hard to stomach let’s face it. Anyone who loves a politician that much has issues no matter what that politician stands for.
I love how that woman referred Trump as a “thing” 😂
America so ignorant about socialism what do you think these programs are on both the state and federal level your government provides: cash assistance, health insurance (medicaid), food stamps,, housing subsidies, energy and utilities subsidies, and education and childcare assistance ?
I would take George in a heartbeat right now 😂😂😩😩😩🗣🗣🗣🤷🏽♀️
Great reporting Guardian👏 Keep up the good work🤞🏻✌
I love how those Hispanic divas began to pump up the music.
Thank you for informing the international community. However, I am living it, and it is terrifying. There is no reconciliation in sight. We want different countries.
Donald Trump, who has a disturbing history of praising brutal dictators possesses no better than a twitter troll's understanding of what it means to be an American Patriot. ~ CF
Did a nurse really just mistake herd immunity for something completely different - herd mentality? Can I request she isn't the one looking after me. Thanks.
Patient: Dying, gasping for oxygen.
Nurse: Weak b***h
We should be so lucky to have the economy we had back in 2016 before Trump got in. Trump will be the 1st President in history to leave office with less jobs than when he started.
I know exactly where these people picket in Clearwater, FL. I can’t even bring my kids to the beach without feeling uncomfortable
Hispanic and Latino voters are key to victory in Florida.
Hispanic and Latino voters want the police in their communities to ensure safety. The Democratic party has drifted towards the hard left policies where anarchy becomes a key feature. Law abiding people don't want that, especially those who raise families.
those who raise black and brown kids and care about their kids and don't want them to get murdered by the state care about this greatly.
LOL. What is OP’s Fox News nutjob self talking about? Democrats are for protecting Hispanic/Latino voters from the cops beating the shit out of them and killing them. Republicans refuse to do any reform whatsoever.
Republican invite violence and riots. Republicans literally just make things worse. Republicans are in charge now, and are doing an absolutely awful job at giving people a reason not to protest or calm down.
@@blackout07blue Elections are more often about perception, than any analytical truth. Most people have busy lives through work and family, and don't look into it as deep as the majority who are likely to comment on here.
Whether you like it or not there is a perception that there has been major unrest in many cities in the USA. Trump is seen as the law and order party opposed to that, and the Democrats as giving it tacit approval. That is a vote winner for Trump, and a vote loser for the Democrats.
Florida is a lost cause. I only go there for Miami beach and desperately try to stay away from the locals.
Trump voters treat books like they are kryptonite.
Herd IMMUNITY not MENTALITY for the love of God
Herd-mentality is the right word for trump supporters. Maybe flock mentality 🐑
0:33 Grand ma. Go home and get sleep.
I don't mean to be a jerk but if America is a democracy should you not respect each other's vote instead of hating each other just for voting for the other party.

Thank you for this magnificent job !
In a very unique style..
So scary that we had DT as president. Never again!
A bit of a strange one. Asking if the president of a country "bears any responsibility" when it comes to a country's pandemic response is obviously an insincere question that you know the answer to.
I did like how you kept the questions in though. No "when asked about COVID the attendees had this to say" -edit.

The more divided the easier to control. The Republicans and the Democrats are both owned by the same group.. and yet people still hope for their voiceless concerns to be heard but only falling on deaf ears.
Excellent reporting.

Trump couldn't hold a ice cream 🤣🤣🤣
6:50 yeah
Interesting documentary Oliver.
I think a more subtle approach in your interview would have improved it. For example, stating to that shock jock guy the scientific evidence clearly didn't help and left him nowhere to go with his claims but to counter based on what? Perhaps asking him to present the evidence for his claims may have made it harder for him.
David Dansky can’t debate someone who operates on faith.
@@mikeFolco Agree that's problematic. Though what faith? Any of the worlds great religions would struggle with much of Trumps actions/policies. Hatemongering doesn't fit in with any faith I recognise.
