#Trump #Politics #Republicans
I lost a friend of 30 years for not supporting evil Donnie My life is less stressed now
You're not alone. Most Americans have lost friends and family, to some degree, over the divisive BS spewed by the MAGA cult. We hope they can return to sanity again but in the meantime: BEWARE. Don't trust them.
Say your mind about Donald Trump and get death threats from your neighbor's are armed to the teeth
Hold firm. He wasn't a true friend.
So called friends and family have not talked to me for the last few years.
I can tell you it hurt my feelings when my friend since I was 9 told me he's supportive of trump. I always say friends and politics don't mix so I've always had a rule try to change the subject it's like religion I'm not going to convince no one to change that because I believe a different way. When he realizes what trump is just have an open mind. If he's been a friend that long it will eventually be okay
Ronald Reagan laid the foundation for what we have today. I voted for him back in the day. But since then I’ve learned what a horrible president he actually was. This woman seems very nice, but is definitely naïve when it comes to Republicans.
In 1978 the Democratic Party abandoned Jimmy Carter, because he wouldn't sign pork legislation into law, because we still had inflation as a consequence of losing the Vietnam War.
That is what caused the ruin of our Nation.
You are so right. All of this madness very much began with Ronald Reagan, and his embrace of the evangelicals.
@@erichodge567 It was a confluence of "Conservatives", Evangelicals, KKK, Right Wing Conspiracy Theorists and John Birch Society Radicals.
In the time of Trump they are all one in the same.
@@ocumstweezers And everyone forgets the many assassinations of our Democratic Leaders of the 1960's. It was devastating and with everything said, you're correct. Can you imagine America had our Democratic Leaders been here to lead? No homelessness, no corporations moving to third world countries to pollute their rivers, living wages with health care and full time work paid, but no...the republicans who laugh when their leader mocks someone hurt by his supporters who practice stochastic violence. Awful people republicans are. 🇺🇸
I only voted for two Republicans for president and they turned out to be terrible. My only excuse is I was young with a young family, and I didn't know much about them or politics. I'm so sorry I voted for Nixon and Reagon. So sorry. Needless to say I didn't vote for #45 and never will.
These people did not change. They showed who they really were all along.
Exactly
Ditto that. Se are one of the few that see this with a clear mind.
When she said that she grew up listening to Russ Limbaugh I knew what the problem was. That man was literally a gateway drug to Donald Trump.
Yeah. They continually venerate that guy, he created 90 percent of where we are now.
rush and fox news fave done more damage then fentanyl
yup hate on steroids that always bothered me, but not as much as its proliferation like a pandemic
Yeah, well, he's no longer got any opinions to share!
Did anyone but me tune in to hear rushbo the day Obama was elected? I've never heard language like that except in a KKK documentary.
Nancy French doesn't need to worry about these people who abandoned her. These are NOT true friends or relationships.
They are not true Christians either, IMHO.
she hasn't changed. she's just not a trumper. these people on msnbc are all despicable republicans. joe would be right at trumps side if he didn't have their blowout. remember these are the same people that gave trump enormous free air time during his first campaign
Wait, wait, you mean they CANCELLED her? 😊
It’s only "cancelled" when liberals do it.
And she's salty about it even though she says the conservative ideology changed into something different. If she grew up listening to Limbaugh and buying into the Reagan BS she knew who and what they were from the get go.
Abandonment and shunning is what cults do.
They didn't change. They just showed who they really were. They've been slouching toward Trump for decades. Barry Goldwater saw it way back when and said no.
She defended the Religious Right? This is just karma coming around again.
No kidding! I have zero respect for monsters who are scared when they get a glimpse at their own reflection.
@@peterharris8471 But it's good to encourage them when they make that break. To help people out of cults, they need to know they'll be welcome and supported in the world of normal people. Otherwise, they'll feel more pressure to go right back to the cult.
Glad that Nancy French woke up and decided NOT to support Trump. The lightbulb lit up for her.
It's just too bad that her lightbulb is one of those tiny ones from a string of Christmas lights that blinks on and off.
Is hard to realize that your friends are not really your friends.
Not really. When you look at their actions/inactions objectively throughout the relationship, there are (usually) very few real surprises.
Even harder when you realize that you hate your family.
@@Kdogpiper So many people pretend to be family until the going gets rough...🇺🇸
@@Kdogpiper
It's not good to hate anyone. Hate their actions and don't enable them. Hate is the weight you carry.
@@THATBOISHAD - It has pluses and minuses. But the pluses outweigh the minuses. Not to mention, suppressing your true feelings is a worse weight to carry around.
IT'S A CULT
Give me the party which values families over the party of “family values” any day. 💙
Evil wins when good people do nothing. Please pass this on.
The view is, do as I say not as I do. The hypocrisy is astounding
Y’all really don’t think this strange, so many people who are embroiled in the aura that is Trump?
I had to read this a couple of times before realizing that you didn't mean The View, tv program.
An ex friend did like entitlements. But boy don't they stand in line to get theirs. Hypocrite
Gotta vote BLUE baby 💙
California is BLUE
Exactly why it has gone down the drain.
@@user-gz6ng5cf3c A state that has the 5th largest economy in the world "has gone down the drain"?
@@user-gz6ng5cf3cHas it?
@@avet4521Remember - opposite land. If a maga says it's bad, then you know that it's great!
Progressives never have and never will vote for a War Criminal for president.
Democrats see that as a character defect and think they can threaten and berate them into acquiescing, and they can't.
That's why Trump may prevail.
so organized religion is about power?
what a surprize.
Long past time to revoke their tax exempt status, especially the mormons...🇺🇸
John McCain is NOT a hero for being captured (which he did nothing to precipitate) but he is an incredibly brave hero for refusing to be freed before his fellow prisoners! John McCain is a TRUE hero in EVERY sense of the word!
I never really stopped believing in a higher power, I just lost faith in people
What is the difference between Jim Jones and Donald Trump? Trump will charge you for the Kool-aid! 😂
😂
~5% but he'd appreciate 10-15%!! 🤦🏻♂️
So much for the party that complains about the “cancel culture.” But it’s fine when they cancel someone. Frankly, there is no cancel culture. It’s the consequences culture, and Nancy is suffering the consequences of her position.
It certainly does not put traditional christian culture in a good light.
@@ElizabethEwins-mj9zu They're awful people and they always have been.🇺🇸
@@ElizabethEwins-mj9zu There is absolutely nothing Christian about these people.
That what's happened when you join a cult you are better off without magas😂
She includes Sarah Palin in the category of the best people. Boy is the Republican Party bankrupt.
She escaped the Orange Cult 💙💙💙
The cult yes. The demented policy thinking no.
Reject the orange kool-aid
She is still evil;, just not sycophantic, so she is a "hero" to shitlibs.
That's what our society has devolved into.
@@los447 That was my thought. She's not drinking the kool-aid and somehow was able to see through the grifter immediately. 🇺🇸
@@jp13119 eh... She was drinking it until it affected her personally. Its the ole Jewish holocaust proverb. "They came for me and you said nothing, then they came for them and you said nothing, and then they came for you but it was too late."
She was fine with the situation until he attacked her personally.
She's very fortunate.
Isn't a ghost writer just a liar
@@user-hp1gk4jj5eNo.
@@user-hp1gk4jj5eNo, and that's a silly comment.
What would this nation be like if Trump hadn't won in 2016? Maybe........................ normal?
I had strong political and philosophical beliefs as a young person, but damned if I pasted their pictures on my wall. There is a naive and willfully ignorant element with these people.
Same here, ghosted by family.
Sorry to hear 😢
Hope she learned something.
Yeah, being nice and having a different opinion which harms no one..now evokes hatred. Why would,they mock Nancy Frenchregarding McCain?Why? Christians? McCain suffered for our country..not funny and Trump was morally wrong to treat McCain as he did. I cannot respect a man who never served our country put a man down like John McCain. Morally corrupt. The Devil is a Liar.
Doubtful. She made it all the way to Trump and before even getting to him there are dozens of other nasty people on the right. She just got cut off from writing her garbage and feels betrayed.
Who would want the biography of Bristol Palin?
🙋🏻♂️ I'd rather go to the dentist 📚
In my humble view, 'Republican' is a DIRTY WORD..
This is like a mobster being surprised when the mafia puts a hit out on them.
I have zero sympathy for her:
How does sympathy factor? The point is to get more people out of the mob so they stop electing people that want to destroy America.
Great analogy. She's after a second chance with them, I think.
Then I guess you won't be able to help anybody else out of the cult. Zero sympathy is the Republican way.
This woman is still nuts. Adoring Reagan and Palin is proof.
She speaks powerful truths.
What is a powerful truth?
Nancy, with friends like them who needs them.
It's a cult
The side that thinks there's more than one gender and believes men can get pregnant, calling the other side a "cult", LOL. 🤣
Cult45, owned by IQ45!
💯........... Very much a Cult. They make Scientology look like a book club ......... I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have Scientologist behind the scenes giving pointers ....
It's a tangerine tumor.
Yes, leftists are indeed in a cult.
Rejection IS Gods protection!
You can’t disagree in a cult, that’s rule #1.

Oh, the hypocrisy of the American church. I will never go back.
So the church is no longer religious but political and politicians no longer do politics but became religious…when did they switch roles?
Jimmy Carter was a Christian, but non-religious people were willing to support him because he was ethical and compassionate.
During his administration there was a rise of fundamentalism. spearheaded by Jerry Falwell and the "moral majority", which incorporated nationalism, bigotry, greed and hypocrisy.
They drove Jesus from the faith and landed with Trump as their "Savior".
Once they felt that shoving their anti-abortion stance down everyone else's throats...is when they switched roles. I watched it happen so shockingly yet this is what they want.🇺🇸
I was born
in 1952. I have said the same things since 1959. The religious right is a danger to freedom. In my country. The USA.
“We hate the other side so much”… there it is.
You can’t spell hatred without red hats.
@@susanjones6410 or just the acronym GOP...🇺🇸they are nothing but hatred...bless their hearts💙🤍❤🩹🇺🇸14/3!
@@susanjones6410 math check your spelling: 6 < 7.
That aside, a big point here is both sides have, for longer than I'm aware of, been susceptible to bias and open themselves to figures who say just enough of the buzz words and stroke the ego just right that they could get away with horrible things in the name of righteousness. That's not unique to Republicans and we all need to be aware and pay attention to the big picture, as well as be open minded to criticism.
Exactly. She killed the whole bothsidesism. It is one side with the hate.
@@VoltisArt Idk man, I've never had a Democrat, even strangers that claimed to be, accuse me of being some form of "with the enemy" simply for being registered independent. Republicans on the other hand, I'd lose count. My case is anecdotal, obviously, but there's more than enough evidence of a shared attitude out there. Are both party leaderships mostly lip service bought by corporations? Sure. But that's just about where the "both sides" argument ends these days. One side wants healthcare for everyone, the other wants to end the democratic system so a con man can bankrupt us with tax cuts... Again.
It’s a cult, plain and simple.
Yes, leftists are indeed in a cult.
And a pitiful one at that. Those people will never get out of it. It's how a ponzi scheme works. They are in toooo deep.

Wait a minute, the leopards DID eat her face?
Right. A little too much botox and fillers. Wonder what she looked like 5 years ago.
@@amsinthemittenshe’s going through chemotherapy right now. She has an aggressive form of breast cancer 😢
The face-eating leopard meme is one of the greatest of all time.
She talks about the political acrimony between the left and the right in the country. The divide should not be vertical, but rather horizontal, that divide the one that entertains the oligarchs, 1%ers, and Big Corporations on the top, and the people being suppressed economically and socially on the bottom who are being denied any upward mobility at all.
The left-right divide may mostly be imaginary, but it's what the top uses as a distraction to keep that vertical (that is up / down) separation from getting enough attention to be changed.
💙🇺🇲☑️ VOTE BLUE! ☑️🇺🇲💙
You loved Regan? Then you got what you deserve.
Those of you equating Trump with politics as usual aren't paying attention, regardless of which side you're on.
No other President has ever so actively tried to dismantle this country. Well...no _American_ president has.
Nailed it 👌
@@VoltisArtYou're absolutely right
@@VoltisArt
That's not what they meant.
Cults doing cult things should not have been shocking. But, glad you got out.
Denied the Cult!! 🤐
VOTE BLUE DOWN THE BALLOT 🗳 💙
I was scrolling on Twitter at church.
Need we ask anymore questions about what happened to the Christian Right?
Are you implying that the average non-Christian liberal, sat in a Christian church on Sunday, would or even should be glued to the subject matter?
Or just that others should follow rules _you don't actually care about,_ since you're not in their group to begin with? That sounds a lot like the real problem with the righteous, regardless of their politics or religious bend.
@@VoltisArtA non-Christian liberal probably wouldn't be sitting in a Christian church. You gotta be in the Christian cult to sit through all that nonsense reinforced when they congregate. Some of your other comments made sense though.
"Oh, but I never thought leopards would eat MY face!"
I actually paid close attention to this story, or tried to.
She's told that David Lee Roth story for one of NPR's storytelling shows, I just heard it broadcast a few days ago.
Great story! 👍👍😎
Its an hilarious story
Ghosted? Naah. Your behavior and choices choose your fate. Your fate chooses to erase you. Make better choices, people.
Where does Trump stand on the issues of the day? He supports whatever benefits himself. He not conservative, liberal or anything in between.
The Maga GOP is not conservative, it is what Trump says.
MAGA GOP : the crime and chaos party .
Ridiculous observation
@@annmatthews196 Ridiculously accurate
Liberals amaze me with their hate for America
Remove "MAGA" . There is no distinction.
Never heard of this woman & not surprised at all about the reaction to her. I immigrated in 1990 ( loved Civic and listened/studied all types of political/ revolutionary characters ) & thought highly of both Parties . I noticed a change & knew I better ( I was very happy to be a Green Card Holder ) get my Naturalization Certificate. The Republican started drifting further and to the extreme. I could hear it , feel because i use to listen to Conservative radio . I couldn’t believe what these radio host and callers were saying. Obama election spooked & angered them . They became a cult. I don’t like a one party system but that is inevitable as Centrist Republicans are scared if MAGA . This is a bad situation.

The three marriages while committing adultery during all of those marriages. Don’t need to go any further. That is just the beginning of his life’s story of mistakes/sins.
No mistakes involved. As Eminem said, "What, she slipped and fell on his [Nixon]?"
What did she expect to happen once she turned her back on the cult.
As with gollum ( great reference) it is solely about power. But they dont know how to use that power because it has cottupted them.
So, she is in Slytherin, but doesn't want to be a Death Eater...
“Well, I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!?”
Principles are just "lofty notions" until they're put to the real test and temptation
9:51 "We hate the other side so much..." That's because your side has been _objectively proven wrong_ about everything you believed over and over again. You should only be angry with yourselves!
Wrong they mocked Kerry's service.
yeah. they tend to forget that one. that was fine. mock Kerry. he is on the other side. but when they mocked one of their own-suddenly all these people heard it and couldn't believe it.
So she's mad they did to her what she did to other people? I can't. 😂
She sounds a bit hurt by being ostracized from the cult for thinking on her own.
Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, was where things where thing went wrong.
How clueless can she be? Palin was the beginning of trump. It was the folks who valued the loudmouth over the conservative.
Conservatism has been a joke. When Lincoln started the Republican party, it was liberal or live and let live but with regulations. Conservatism has always been an ideology intent on CONSERVing the power dynamic of those who were in power at the time and their descendants ONLY.
It's been years - decades, perhaps! - since I've heard a new Van Halen tale. This one was worth the wait 🤩
Are we supposed to feel sorry for someone who has been silent and blind to it all for decades? They have been like this for a long time. Long time.
Feel sorry? I don't think so.
The important thing is that they pulled themselves out. You’re not perfect either so get off that faux high horse of yours.
@@Baliane22 I'm not perfect and I'm not on a high horse because time has shown that they will still be hypocrites like they've always been.
They are wired like this which is how they came to find themselves supporting the guy who said all the things he said before the 91 indictments in the first place.

She’s the “better half” of David French, enough said. He’s an absolute nightmare of religiosity.
Any belief system that can be used in such an evil way, is not worth it's weight in a single bible verse.
If she liked Sarah Palin, well at least she recognized Trump for what he is. How could she miss Palin's foolishness?
A picture of Reagan on her wall? She's a weirdo.
Excellent, as always. Thank you. I really enjoyed today's guest. : )
She had me up to the point where she said she loved Ronald Reagan so much . . . and that was at the beginning of the interview!
What kind of a church is it if they support evil?
Trump is the Evangelicals New Jesus , you mess with him you get ostracized & banished.
He is their Orange Cheesus, their Mango Messiah.
"I was a huge 'Celebrity Apprentice' fan..."
Sure.
They say it’s not a cult, but if you don’t worship Don, you’re excommunicated from their lives. It’s a cult.

Am I supposed to have sympathy for Ms French? If you are judged by the company you keep, then she can rightly be judged very harshly.
I wonder if she understands the role race plays in this.
"Woww", I can "relate" soo much....
POWER CORRUPTS, simple
So a horrible person has been turned on by other horrible people. She has made her bed and was happy to do it. How can she be surprised that people are treating her like she used to treat others? I find it hard to feel sorry for her.
Great conversation.
How many more books about the hypocrisy within the American evangelical movement can the market bear?
Some people are so inspiring and genuine!
Good lesson learned.
You are only talking friends... what about family!😢
I mean, it's good that she didn't support Trump, but we need to stop acting conservatives who turn their back on Trump are suddenly angels - she supported Reagan/Reaganism after all, and his policies had many deleterious effects on our country.
That David Lee Roth story ? Gurl did you buy that?!
I’m buying the book.
Count your blessings ❤
Bullies rule the world, unless good men stand up.
Don't choose evil.......hmm....wise words from someone who did it for quite some time.........
Republicans are like N. Koreans their dear leader can do no wrong.
Donald wants to be America's Kim Jong-Un. And the Republican base wants to be the North Korean populace impoverished, starving and narking on each other for airline peanut packets.
Trump thinks Kim Jun Young loves him but the irony is Trump's hair cut is officially banned in North Korea. If he wanted to go to North Korea he would have to get one the official haircuts or he would not be allowed in the country... Weird huh?
And democrats are like Hamas right? The same ones chanting death to America and holding up traffic on bridges as we speak ? Plenty of Antisemitic libs
Remember how Trump went from calling Kim Jong-un "Little Rocket Man" to praising him as a "smart cookie"? Trump got a look at how Kim runs his country and really, really liked it, especially the lifetime presidency. I haven't heard or read any Trump supporters objecting to that. But they howl night and day about Biden's "tyranny"--at least when they're not calling him a criminal mastermind and simultaneously a senile incompetent.
At least the MAGA faction is. I think there are a lot of Republicans who hate what is happening to their party but haven't yet accepted the need to deal with it.
Instead of blaming Trump, how about you re-think your ideas on conservatism as practiced in the US?
The cognitive dissonance here is astounding.
Lesser of two evils, versus the Third Option.
