Unless you immigrated from a war zone, I'd suggest trying your luck back in your home country or starting the paperwork to immigrate somewhere else. Last time there was mass deportation a lot of legal immigrants got caught in the middle, it was hell and this will be too. I wish good luck for you.

"Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time. This Republic's life is not in peril. The nation has sold its honor for a phrase. It has swung itself loose from its safe anchorage and is drifting, its helm is in pirate hands." -Mark Twain
Chances are high that a given person that voted red or blue has been tricked as neither party has any interest in improving things for the voters. You just won't hear Democrats admit that their party has absolutely failed to really push for the sort of transformative policies that address the things that push the voters towards the GOP.
you guys lost because you had nothing but woke drivel and paranoia, time to accept it instead just coping about your rival being "fooled". Everyone wanted exactly what Trump announced and we are all satisfied.
Us vets are still reeling from the absolute gutting the VA took when he was first in office. Doctor and nurse care was already shorthanded in 2016, but it became catastrophically thin. It hasnt recovered since then and has no recovery in sight. I am 100% T&P disabled. I cant work. If anything happens to my pension, im genuinely screwed. People also think we get paid handsomly for total disability. I can confirm to everyone here and other 100% disabled vets can corroborate, we get paid *just enough* to get by. Its bad. I feel forgotten, uncared for and frankly abused. I dont want your "thank yous" and "im sorry's" i just want to be comfortable.

This really just hammers home that if you are wealthy and/or influential enough, you get to avoid any and all consequences of the terrible things that you do.
This system is set up of devouring others for money, but also system been set up by making working class poor. This system will devour the rich soon too, simply because it's easier and quicker. They will regret it in the long run.
It's important that even the pretense of it is entirely gone. The ideal that no one was above the law was imprinted on our American self-identity, even if not in fact. Despite the sheer openness of Trump flouting the law, politicians and the media were either gleefully cheering him on or afraid to stand up to him. The American public made a conscious choice to side with wealth and power. Where in the past the system was rigged against the common man, we could all agree at least in principle that it shouldn't be. That's no longer the case and clever people will exploit that sentiment to the extreme before (or even if!) voters wake up to what's happened. By then, as Devin said, it will take decades to get back to baseline.
Banning vaccines actually scares the hell out of me. I knew a man growing up that had polio as a child. He was an amazing man.

As a Brit, who's judges are required to be completely separate from politics to ensure impartiality, the fact that US judges, and particularly those in the Supreme Court, are politically aligned will never cease to BAFFLE me. The vast majority of these, and many other, legal issues would be solved it judges were impartial and not put in place by presidents and political parties. It will never make sense to me.
British legal system is one crazy house and lot worse than American. Fair political US appointment is 100 times better than European so called non political 90% leftist appointment.
Our supreme court was SUPPOSED to be impartial. Unfortunately we’ve discovered over this last decade just how much of our government was running on the presumption of integrity.
The idea behind them serving for life is to allow them to make decisions without worrying about politics, the problem comes from the fact that it is the current administration that appoints them rather than an independent group.

If there was a college student that had been working on a homework assignment for your class for 9 years, and you asked him if he had the assignment yet and he responded "I have concepts of an assignment", would you make him the Dean of your University? Of course not, he's completely unqualified for that. You would elect him President of the United States.

It will literally be bounce backable, Legal Eagle is kind of being an alarmist here about that as we do have the mid terms which if Trump’s past presidential run is anything, we will see a Blue Wave. But to ensure it does happen, the Democrats need to embrace more moderate politics and point out the lunacy of Trump’s social policy backwardedness and focus more on the economics and reaching out to male voters and getting the latino vote back on the ballot.
I’m a father of two-year-old twin daughters. I have a congenital heart defect that requires significant medical intervention. If the ACA is repealed, and especially if Medicare is cut, I will not be able to afford to stay alive. I am terrified that I will not live long enough for my daughters to reach an age where they will remember me. This is horrifying. Do you know of any emigration lawyers who might be able to help us migrate to a country with universal healthcare?
It is an incredibly difficult years long process, unless you have a post secondary degree in a highly desirable field. Having a medical condition is a significant roadblock if not a disqualifier for most places, sadly. If you are willing to become fully fluent in spanish, look into paraguay. I am sorry for your situation.
@@Elizabeth-n3v2u Can try the asylum route. Probably be even more difficult as economic asylum (aka can't afford to stay alive) is generally given far less consideration than political asylum (explicitly persecuted by the government or other powerful organization). But if they could find a country willing to accept their claim, it would likely be faster.
While becoming a citizen in a country takes years, just moving there will give you the same rates the governments pays for visits and medicines. Like how US tourists will pay them same/less than they currently would pay in the US if they have a heart attack in France/England/Germany/wherever My suggestion, if you don't have a highly desirable skillset like IT or medicine, is to find countries with working visa programs with the US that aren't just for young adults, use one to get you and your family *there*, and make the connections to get a longer work visa. Getting a lawyer to argue for economic asylum while you're doing so might help, but don't put all your chickens in one coop.

Separation of church and state is nowhere in the constitution. It's literally a myth. You're a fool if you think the beliefs of the people don't influence government.
@hamisyummers8664 Most policies need to be based on a philosophy, and therefore are bordering on many religious ideas already. It's impossible not to have religious overtones to law, (either theist or secular humanist) because our worldview shapes our metaphysical view of morality. Yet the pope is not governing, nor is the protestant church, nor any other governing church body. Rather certain values are being brought forth from a Christian worldview and enshrined into law. This is not a church telling you you must believe in Jesus, but a simple moral rule, no different than the laws against manslaughter and murder. I'm not condoning anything in project 2025, I still dont really understand what it is yet, but it seems to me that a church needs to be in government for it to be a fusing of church and state. I believe most of the founding Father's wrote the constitution entirely from a theistic worldview, making it seem like they defined church and state differently than we do today.
I love when people bring this up, but they have no understanding of the history or meaning of the phrase. Can you tell me what part of the Constitution includes the phrase 'separation of church and state', or any variant thereof? Go on, I'll wait. While I'm waiting, I'll proceed by enlightening you on what that phrase *actually* means. It's a warning against the government interfering in the affairs of the church (using that in the broad sense, not in regards to a particular denomination), not the other way around. No, we do not have state sponsored/run churches - though many colonies did have them prior to the ratification of the Constitution, and even for many decades after - but that doesn't mean the church has no say in the affairs of government. Just a little history lesson for you. Oh, and if you haven't figured it out by now, that phrase exists absolutely nowhere in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration or Independence, or any other founding document. It was penned in a letter by Thomas Jefferson, and he was talking about protecting churches from the government, not the other way around.
"We don't know how the Supreme court would rule, but we definitely know how the Supreme Court would rule" sounds so insane of a phrase to hear more than 5 years ago. You'd think the person was insane for string that contradiction together, but in today's world it makes complete sense and is a sign of the times.
No, it isn't. The outcome of most cases on SCOTUS can be quite easily predicted, and that hasn't been any different in the last few decades. For example, there is no sane person who couldn't predict the outcome of McDonald v. Chicago after Heller.
@@SailHatinSoap, hard disagree. Lockner era (pre switch in time) and progressive era (60s/early 70s) were much more predictable than the current bench.
I honestly hope, our european leaders will find the same courage again to just let him rant in his little toddler cage and do the actual diplomacy with the career diplomats. They did this for his first term and the relationships wasn't as irreperably damaged as we feared it might be during 4 years of Trump. However, the political landscape has changed in europe as well and the first political leaders are already softening their stance on Trump at a rapid pace, because NATO (and with it all our litteral survival) is dependant upon a narcissistic, hypocritical, lying windbag who changes his opinions and moods more often than his underwear. I will not forgive the US electorate for what will happen in the next four years (and honestly, probably beyond - because there is no reason why he should stop to follow Hitlers plan of ascension to power to the letter NOW of all times... next will be "emergency powers" because of a random "national emergency" that will allow him to "postpone" the presidential election)
Your argument is invalid and they never said anything about stopping a mother's abortion if it risks her life. The law states that casual abortion is not allowed if the baby is over 15 weeks. Majority of abortions do not happen because of your reason. In fact, most abortions happen because of what's called Irresponsibility. We are living in an age where people can willing do the dirty without feeling guilty for killing another living person such as ourselves today. You're not advocating for any justice dude. Trump can't even fully take away abortions, that's not his role nor would the house let it happen. But keep letting fake media tell you he's Hitler okay? If trump was a dictator, you know damn well he would've been dealt with quicker than the media portay the lies about him.
You were a fetus once, so why take the chance of life you had away from innocent kids? You realize that child birth related deaths are less common than they used to be right? In fact, because of c sections, most women can survive nowadays. There's even a study claiming women are getting smaller down there because of the introduction of c sections, which is also an issue cause later down the line, women will have no choice but to have c sections. And before you say the c section is a form of abortion, go back to school. Abortion is straight up murder of an innocent life, c sections are to help both parties in the birthing situation. If you see videos of how abortion actually works, you'll be surprised if how inhumane it actually is
The same people who insist a woman's consent isn't necessary for pregnancy, also insist that consent is needed for taking blood. Because pregnancy is trivial and taking blood is invasive I guess?
You really don't want to go down this route, you're betting against a group that already shows no respect for human life. Do you think the absurdity of your suggestion won't just be ignored like other forms of suffering?
The worst part is the people allowing this to happen will NEVER admit it. They'll go to the grave blaming everyone else and everything else when this inevitably blows up in their faces. That's ultimately what happened here, we gave these people carte blanche to do anything and walk away.

Here’s the thing. This is just the shit Devin can think of. Guaranteed one year from now there will be SO MANY other insane things he will do that no one even considered
this is only the things devin thinks will happen. how many people (including authoratitative sources) predicted trump would be a dictator and would do x terrible things from 2016-2020? how many of those things came true? its the same thing that has happened the last 3 electoral cycles, half the country believes the elected president to be terrible and the president elect doesnt even end up being that bad
I can't wait for his devoted followers to realize that their lives aren't getting any better and probably worse. You know Trump can't take criticism. To see the look on their faces when he turns against them
I've never felt so disconnected from the American populous before. i can understand Trump winning the electoral college, but winning the popular vote tells me that i am so far removed from how most other Americans really feel. Americans were so desperate for change, they were willing to make a deal with the devil in mass. But i was more prepared for a Trump victory this time around. When he beat Hillary i was completely shocked. i remember women crying at the office when i went to work the day after the '16 election. This time when i went to work, nobody was crying, ppl were just pissed off & angry.
Don't forget the amount of voter suppression in this country. A lot of people like to pretend people not voting is them being lazy and not state's making voting so difficult is wasn't worth the hassle or just too difficult. Then throw in the fact that it is super easy to get a felony and have your rights taken away. Biden won the 2020 election and 37 states passed laws making it even harder to vote all while Trump and the Republican party continued to bend and break every law and rule they could to make sure Democrats would never win again. That needs to be taken into account when speaking on people not voting.

He has already threatened Europe using NATO as leverage, unless they bow to the new king and remove regulations impacting US exports into Europe. I hope Europe reacts promptly to aid Ukraine with boots on the ground now that their occupiers are so weak and on brink of collapse.

I would _not_ be so sure Trump won't go ahead with the tariffs, we're talking about a guy with such a poor grip on economics that he bankrupted a casino.
it doesn't matter. Trump isn't even making these plans. This is all from Heritage Foundation. Trump doesn't think about much of anything but big macs. even in his first term his administration was over 80% Heritage Foundation people. theyre an enemy army hiding on our own soil. they're the actual 'enemy from within'

JD Vance's 'let people with pre-existing conditions pay higher premiums' is exactly the problem in the first place. Insurance companies have always been able to do that if they wanted to. They don't because it is not economical. It is called adverse selection and it is a classic example of market failure. That is why everyone who can do maths advocates universal health care with as much risk pooling as possible. Vance basically just said 'people with pre-existing conditions can whistle'.
is the idea that people with preexisting conditions are generally lower-income and can’t afford higher premiums, therefore it would prevent the exact group they’re targeting from participating?
@@glasses6524 Absolutely. Low income creates ill-health, too. Poor housing and working conditions, added stress, worse diet etc. More likely to be sick for the same reason you can't pay.

This! Everyone who has met Elon has called him egotistical, entitled, and controlling. Trump is pretty much the same, I imagine. Those two personalities don't peacefully co-govern. I hope when their bromance does go out its with a bang and a media storm.
So Remember how the great depression was the only time in America where there's more emigration than immigration? Yeah...thats gonna need to be updated.
Problem is, most of the people who are targeted by Trump's stated goals are people who would find it difficult to impossible to legally emigrate - people with disabilities, for example, are hugely roadblocked or disqualified from emigrating to most countries (especially ones with the infrastructure to actually see that they get the care they need), especially because having a serious disability makes it much more difficult to have a qualification for a desired skill. Even if you have a desired skill, it's possible that you'll be knocked back on the basis of your disability or the disability of a family member who would be coming with you. This is also true for people with 'pre-existing medical conditions' that require medical intervention, medicinal or otherwise.
Oh but "those are the people that other countries DON'T want!!" ... literally arguments I've heard. Given that Trump has threatened his political opponents with imprisonment, or other punishments, that is very good reason to leave the country. That's a President willing to abuse his power to benefit himself.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you speaking up about this. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to have someone normal and educated telling people how bad this will be. People need a wake up call!
I'm not American, but it absolutely blows my mind that abortion is still a political issue in America. For most of the western world the legalization of abortion is something you learn about in history books.
I've been saying for a while now that it doesn't make sense that abortion is a political issue. It's science. Science doesn't change depending on what country or state you're in. Ben Shapiro and the Republican party love saying "facts don't care about your feelings" but when it's abortion, science goes out the window and policies are based on feelings.

Sorry for rambling here, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this - keep in mind that I'm Canadian. The best way I can describe what's happening, at least from my perspective, is that the US has turned into a Wonderland, (straight from Alice and Wonderland, because it's so bizarre,) for Trump supporters. My hypothesis is that, much like Alice, a whole bunch of them are going to eventually come to the realization that it is NOT, in fact, everything they ever wanted. Now, because I ALSO beleive that everyone, no matter how mistaken their beliefs, no matter how deep down it is, has the capability to be a good person with empathy. Which, yes, I recognize is very naive, but that's why I beleive that people, good people, with kindness and empathy for their neighbor, no matter their differences, will be the life rafts that people hold on to in the crisis that will inevitably happen. Now, it's very easy for me to think that way, because as I said, I'm Canadian, so I won't be experiencing this firsthand. But even if all I can do is love and support my friends most affected by this, I'll do that for as long as this takes.
When I took my driver's test to get my license, there were certain things known as "automatic fails". If you did them during the test then you failed automatically despite being perfect elsewhere, such as if you hit the curb while parallel parking. Hit the curb while parallel parking = no driver's license. There need to be "automatic fails" in place for positions within the 3 branches of the federal government that prevent certain people from gaining the levers of power. Like if a Supreme Court nominee lays an egg on a basic 1st amendment question during the confirmation hearing, they don't get to be a Supreme Court Justice. You incite a riot with the attempt to disrupt the transfer of power and have "fake electors" willing to certify things at your direction that they know are false, then you do not get to be President.
The concept of giving so much decision-making power to one person is baffling to me. People criticize the kings and monarchy of old, but functionally it feels like we just changed the titles and how they get on the throne.

I’m actually exhausted with how much disbelief I’ve had. It shakes my faith in humanity that because the economy is hard, Americans elected a billionaire criminal who will crush the rights of women and minorities and won’t even fix the economy.
Did you forget how many stayed home? Its not a majority that decided. Its a vocal and active minority. The majority dont see anyone worth showing up for. Get an FDR and that may change.
@ronblack7870 I feel like "the economy is doing well" is a kind of misrepresentation of the situation. Yes, the economy is doing well...but we don't really measure how our economy is doing by how the average person is doing, not anymore. The main thing that drives that statement is investment and employment rates. But the average person is seeing reductions in their rights as "labor," income growth is being FAR outstripped by inflation, the poorest are struggling harder and the wealthy saw massive growth to their wealth. If you're billionaire, the economy is awesome; if you work for a living the economy is crushing you. Not that I think Trump will, or even can, fix it. Just that when politicians and pundits talk about "The Economy," they aren't really talking about the same thing we are.
@sorejack too bad you have no idea how much worse it will get if Trump does his crazy plans. Tariffs and tax cuts will cause inflation to skyrocket. Your economic situation is about to get worse if he gets his way.

My husband has a blood clotting disease he inherited from his father. The medicate he needs to take for the rest of his life is hundreds of dollars a month without insurance. I am really worried about losing his prescription coverage. We cannot afford to buy it out of pocket, it's like $700! So many people will die, or be too ill to work anymore, or go poor buying life saving medications. This is not good for the economy or the country!
Pro-Tip: If you go to the canadian border and say "I seek political asylum" They will not take you, however if you say "I want to visit" then once in canada say "This place is beautiful i want to live here" it's much much more easy to get candian citizenship
Unless you've got C$200,000. In that case you can get yourself an 'investor visa' which comes with an easier path to citizenship. Many countries have a program like that - they are eager to attract new wealthy citizens who can bring wealth and business connections.

I've been a poll worker for over 25 years. You wouldn't believe all the low-information and haven't voted in years people I processed at the polls this election. For example: We show the names of the electors under each presidential candidate. A man called me over and asked me "who are these people (under DJTs name) and I said "they are the electors" He said I"m not voting for them!" I said that's how the system works" And he said "the system sucks!" as angrily filled in the dot from Trump. I had to be nice (as poll worker) but in my head I wanted to say "you clearly need a civics lesson".
He probably does need a civics lesson, but to be fair a lot of people on both sides of the aisle agree with him that "the [electoral college] system sucks!" Devin just did a video about "How to get rid of the electoral college".
Well. He won because he gave a voice to those 100 million Americans who don't vote, or sometimes vote. Most candidates don't trouble themselves with them. As being a candidate and standing on their door step. Your not really the person they want to meet. Your the problem. Or they will have you over , you learn they want to to publicly say, you support the kkk. And if you don't. They will make sure you understand. They don't want you or your kind around those parts. As an example. I watched it happen to Nikki Haley. She on video when it happened. She would have agreed to anything that got her back into her car, and the gass pedal on the floor.
If Trump removes all career public servants, how is he going to implement his tariffs? Signing the law is no problem, but the people having to do the work to get the money are the same career people he wants fired.

If a fetus is a person, does it have squatter's rights on the mother's uterus? Or does the mother have the right to evict the fetus? And if not, could that be considered quartering?
Not sure, but we should be able report fetuses on the census and take tax credits for them. Also, incarceration of a pregnant female will violate the civil rights of the fetus.

Don't rental agreements also usually require landlord consent of all persons living at the property? Does this mean you need landlord's permission and have to get the lease amended to permit the additional person?

Same with any election. If the other side had won then those that voted for him would have to have paid taxes for and "deal with the consequences" of whatever the other party did over the next 4 years. At least this time around the winning side had the popular vote.
The fact that someone with 34 felony charges was able to even run for President should mean that, hypothetically, regular jobs shouldn't ask if you committed any crimes. If someone can be elected as President after 34 counts of felony ANYTHING, then why would a job need to know?

Since his reelection I no longer worry about laws and shall govern myself with common sense and being a decent person. There is no reason to trust the rule of law anymore. It only applies if you are broke or hated.
Certainly an interesting one. Can't really blame it for being boring. Each day you wake up and wonder how exactly things will screw themselves up today.
Don't just expect people with pre-existing conditions to pay more, but also to die because they can't afford it or are considered "uninsurable". I had end-stage kidney disease at 14 that the doctors think was caused by a genetic issue that causes the kidneys to start shutting down from birth. So more like "have always existed with" as opposed to pre-existing. I thankfully have insurance through work and have had a transplant, but that's no guarantee. Losing the ACA terrifies me.
That was the entire point of the ACA. The mandate for everyone to have insurance meant that the costs of pre-existing conditions and otherwise-uninsurable patients could be offset by the premiums of everyone else. Now that there's no longer a mandate, and with Trump gunning for it, it seems like the ACA will assuredly vanish.
I live in a blue state and am strongly considering starting a petition to ask our newly elected democratic governor to enshrine in law the protections for people with pre-existing conditions. This part of the ACA is extremely popular. I dont know if you live in a blue state but similarly to how many states are adding state level abortion protections, we should do the same to protect people with pre-existing conditions.
Crazy thing is, I definitely remember stories pre-ACA of babies being denied insurance because they were born with some sort of congenital condition. And of course those things tend to be reaaallly expensive. I'm actually of a group that could theoretically see my premiums go down if the ACA is repealed, but... giving up the pre-existing requirement would not be worth it. I'd like to say people who voted for this don't remember what that was like before, but.... GenX definitely is old enough to remember.
@@michaelgodwin6158 "States rights" are going to go out the window too. State-level protections that clash with federal mandates that trump wants will vanish, by court ruling or otherwise. Remember, it was never "states rights". It was "states rights if I agree with them".

It doesn't fix anything, it just helps to know I'm not biased, or hate the man, I simply use common sense, and trustmy intuition when it comes to people. It's such a surreal situation that anyone would be incapable of seeing right through Mr. Trump, and those connected to him. I'm still in disbelief, and remain highly suspect of how he won. It's just far easier(for me) to believe they cheated, than to believe so many people are so blind to the consequence of another Mr. Trump term.
Nope. We all knew they were going to at least try to do it all. The question here is how much of it they'll actually be able to get done. Let's hope it's less not more.
Actually what Trump does without any consequences, shows how weak the democracy is in US. There are not enough protection between the different powers.
@@thylacoleonkennedy7In my home nation Sweden, one of the most severe instances of corruption among MPs and ministers was “the Toblerone scandal” a fee decades back! When a ranking member of the parliament in a stressed situation at the grocery store bought a chocolate bar for her kid and by mistake payed with her parliamentary debit card instead of her private one. Even her own party was so upset that she had to take a political time out for a few years.
@ Well, there’s a few others incidents, but not that much worse. Since it normally isn’t so serious, I haven’t actually payed attention much. But a few among the far right in the parliament have been in juridical and ethical trouble. And a few others. The relatively little serious corruption seems to happen more on city and county level.
No, Trump's election shows that even if the mainstream media spews lies all day, even if celebrities are paid millions to endorse Kamala, and even if they accuse Trump of 50 things every day, the people of this country can force it back onto the right tracks.
People invested in politics are so dramatic. Trump was already in office once and the country is still standing. And if you're Republican, Biden-Kamala was in office but the country is still standing.
@kalamari3288 Who are you, who knows not your own history? This country has gone to war with itself already and nearly collapsed because of it. Don't for a second think that it's an impossibility for this country to collapse or fall into shambles at the hands of political or social insecurity especially in the age of massive and fast spread disinformation. What's scary is we're slowly turning into a world not too unlike Idiocracy and that should scare you.
I also fear for the future of birth control. I would not be surprised at all if they somehow restrict birth control access, either by declaring it unsafe through the FDA, a supreme court ruling, or possibly by declaring that doctors/hospitals can be exempt from prescribing it for religious reasons... This is a war on women's bodily autonomy, on queer people, on poor people, on immigrants (the ones who aren't white anyway) and anyone who doesn't fit into the mold of white evangelical christian, and its absolutely terrifying.
You made this up? "Mold of white evangelical christian"? Where was this ever mentioned by Trump? All you said is just a bunch of assumptions you built over the lying media you have selectively watched.
well where were all these women in the election. i have seen women say they voted for him because somehow they think he will be better for the economy and won't ban abortion. tariffs don't help the economy . it's a tax and only helps rent seekers
Thankfully, I don’t think RFK will use the FDA to ban birth control. Maybe abortion pills, but he’s not heavily conservative (just a conspiracy theorist). Doubt he’d ban condoms or have the authority to do anything directly against abortion.
I already was pretty adament that I never wanted kids and now I seriously don't want kids. I refuse to put my significant other through anything like being pregnant without guardrails to protect her in case something goes wrong.
Exactly this. The way things flipped makes me wonder if he bought the election with some help as he accused others of doing last time. It smells really bad
My family relies on Obamacare for remotely useful medical insurance so I really hope he doesn't actually do anything to it. The Supreme Court will also become a shit show, far worse than it is right now, if Trump appoints another couple of incompetent justices for life. Pardoning yourself for any and all crimes by becoming president is not remotely democratic at all. All of his current cases are basically on pause as long as he's in office which is ridiculous.
@@coridium043That's a really bad take- the ACA is baked into our healthcare system. To undo the ACA is to literally rewrite the entire healthcare system from the ground up.

The other problem is when anyone tries to have a civilized conversation about the real and present dangers, all we get are scoffs, eye rolls, laughs, and "where do you get your news from? You're obviously misinformed' while they're playing someone like freaking Ben Shapiro or Fuentes on their computers. Or hell, Andrew Tate these days. This group sees themselves as marginalized victims because the world opened up to accept more and become more tolerant, it was like shining light on the darkest pits of ourselves. And of course, they couldn't stand that. So when a personality like Trump comes along, and he gets the churches and non-traditional media on his side, it's easy to fake a narrative that they'll truly save a 'dying' country. But the reality is the country's been crumbling for years because certain men thought they knew better, changed the rules, wrote new laws, and plotted in secret. They've been carefully spinning their narrative since before I was even born, and roping anyone uneducated or desperate enough to believe it.

It's important that even the pretense of it is entirely gone. The ideal that no one was above the law was imprinted on our American self-identity, even if not in fact. Despite the sheer openness of Trump flouting the law, politicians and the media were either gleefully cheering him on or afraid to stand up to him. The American public made a conscious choice to side with wealth and power. Where in the past the system was rigged against the common man, we could all agree at least in principle that it shouldn't be. That's no longer the case and clever people will exploit that sentiment to the extreme before (or even if!) voters wake up to what's happened. By then, as Devin said, it will take decades to get back to baseline.

I’m a father of two-year-old twin daughters. I have a congenital heart defect that requires significant medical intervention. If the ACA is repealed, and especially if Medicare is cut, I will not be able to afford to stay alive. I am terrified that I will not live long enough for my daughters to reach an age where they will remember me. This is horrifying. Do you know of any emigration lawyers who might be able to help us migrate to a country with universal healthcare?
It is an incredibly difficult years long process, unless you have a post secondary degree in a highly desirable field. Having a medical condition is a significant roadblock if not a disqualifier for most places, sadly. If you are willing to become fully fluent in spanish, look into paraguay.

@@Elizabeth-n3v2u Can try the asylum route. Probably be even more difficult as economic asylum (aka can't afford to stay alive) is generally given far less consideration than political asylum (explicitly persecuted by the government or other powerful organization). But if they could find a country willing to accept their claim, it would likely be faster.
While becoming a citizen in a country takes years, just moving there will give you the same rates the governments pays for visits and medicines. Like how US tourists will pay them same/less than they currently would pay in the US if they have a heart attack in France/England/Germany/wherever
My suggestion, if you don't have a highly desirable skillset like IT or medicine, is to find countries with working visa programs with the US that aren't just for young adults, use one to get you and your family *there*, and make the connections to get a longer work visa. Getting a lawyer to argue for economic asylum while you're doing so might help, but don't put all your chickens in one coop.

If a religious organization gets a say in government, then we have lost the seperation of church and state...churches need to start paying taxes.
Thats not separation of church and state. Its a protection against the church being the ruling government.
Separation of church and state is nowhere in the constitution. It's literally a myth. You're a fool if you think the beliefs of the people don't influence government.
@@malpercio123 Yeah... So if you're governing solely based on religious beliefs... what does that tell you?
@hamisyummers8664 Most policies need to be based on a philosophy, and therefore are bordering on many religious ideas already. It's impossible not to have religious overtones to law, (either theist or secular humanist) because our worldview shapes our metaphysical view of morality.
Yet the pope is not governing, nor is the protestant church, nor any other governing church body. Rather certain values are being brought forth from a Christian worldview and enshrined into law. This is not a church telling you you must believe in Jesus, but a simple moral rule, no different than the laws against manslaughter and murder.
I'm not condoning anything in project 2025, I still dont really understand what it is yet, but it seems to me that a church needs to be in government for it to be a fusing of church and state. I believe most of the founding Father's wrote the constitution entirely from a theistic worldview, making it seem like they defined church and state differently than we do today.
I love when people bring this up, but they have no understanding of the history or meaning of the phrase. Can you tell me what part of the Constitution includes the phrase 'separation of church and state', or any variant thereof? Go on, I'll wait.
While I'm waiting, I'll proceed by enlightening you on what that phrase *actually* means. It's a warning against the government interfering in the affairs of the church (using that in the broad sense, not in regards to a particular denomination), not the other way around. No, we do not have state sponsored/run churches - though many colonies did have them prior to the ratification of the Constitution, and even for many decades after - but that doesn't mean the church has no say in the affairs of government.
Just a little history lesson for you. Oh, and if you haven't figured it out by now, that phrase exists absolutely nowhere in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration or Independence, or any other founding document. It was penned in a letter by Thomas Jefferson, and he was talking about protecting churches from the government, not the other way around.
"We don't know how the Supreme court would rule, but we definitely know how the Supreme Court would rule" sounds so insane of a phrase to hear more than 5 years ago. You'd think the person was insane for string that contradiction together, but in today's world it makes complete sense and is a sign of the times.

They did this for his first term and the relationships wasn't as irreperably damaged as we feared it might be during 4 years of Trump. However, the political landscape has changed in europe as well and the first political leaders are already softening their stance on Trump at a rapid pace, because NATO (and with it all our litteral survival) is dependant upon a narcissistic, hypocritical, lying windbag who changes his opinions and moods more often than his underwear. I will not forgive the US electorate for what will happen in the next four years (and honestly, probably beyond - because there is no reason why he should stop to follow Hitlers plan of ascension to power to the letter NOW of all times... next will be "emergency powers" because of a random "national emergency" that will allow him to "postpone" the presidential election)

Your argument is invalid and they never said anything about stopping a mother's abortion if it risks her life. The law states that casual abortion is not allowed if the baby is over 15 weeks. Majority of abortions do not happen because of your reason. In fact, most abortions happen because of what's called Irresponsibility. We are living in an age where people can willing do the dirty without feeling guilty for killing another living person such as ourselves today. You're not advocating for any justice dude. Trump can't even fully take away abortions, that's not his role nor would the house let it happen. But keep letting fake media tell you he's Hitler okay? If trump was a dictator, you know damn well he would've been dealt with quicker than the media portay the lies about him.
You were a fetus once, so why take the chance of life you had away from innocent kids? You realize that child birth related deaths are less common than they used to be right? In fact, because of c sections, most women can survive nowadays. There's even a study claiming women are getting smaller down there because of the introduction of c sections, which is also an issue cause later down the line, women will have no choice but to have c sections. And before you say the c section is a form of abortion, go back to school. Abortion is straight up murder of an innocent life, c sections are to help both parties in the birthing situation. If you see videos of how abortion actually works, you'll be surprised if how inhumane it actually is
The same people who insist a woman's consent isn't necessary for pregnancy, also insist that consent is needed for taking blood.
Because pregnancy is trivial and taking blood is invasive I guess?
You really don't want to go down this route, you're betting against a group that already shows no respect for human life. Do you think the absurdity of your suggestion won't just be ignored like other forms of suffering?
The worst part is the people allowing this to happen will NEVER admit it. They'll go to the grave blaming everyone else and everything else when this inevitably blows up in their faces. That's ultimately what happened here, we gave these people carte blanche to do anything and walk away.

JD Vance's 'let people with pre-existing conditions pay higher premiums' is exactly the problem in the first place. Insurance companies have always been able to do that if they wanted to. They don't because it is not economical. It is called adverse selection and it is a classic example of market failure. That is why everyone who can do maths advocates universal health care with as much risk pooling as possible. Vance basically just said 'people with pre-existing conditions can whistle'.
is the idea that people with preexisting conditions are generally lower-income and can’t afford higher premiums, therefore it would prevent the exact group they’re targeting from participating?

So Remember how the great depression was the only time in America where there's more emigration than immigration? Yeah...thats gonna need to be updated.
Problem is, most of the people who are targeted by Trump's stated goals are people who would find it difficult to impossible to legally emigrate - people with disabilities, for example, are hugely roadblocked or disqualified from emigrating to most countries (especially ones with the infrastructure to actually see that they get the care they need), especially because having a serious disability makes it much more difficult to have a qualification for a desired skill. Even if you have a desired skill, it's possible that you'll be knocked back on the basis of your disability or the disability of a family member who would be coming with you. This is also true for people with 'pre-existing medical conditions' that require medical intervention, medicinal or otherwise.

Sorry for rambling here, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this - keep in mind that I'm Canadian.
The best way I can describe what's happening, at least from my perspective, is that the US has turned into a Wonderland, (straight from Alice and Wonderland, because it's so bizarre,) for Trump supporters. My hypothesis is that, much like Alice, a whole bunch of them are going to eventually come to the realization that it is NOT, in fact, everything they ever wanted.
Now, because I ALSO beleive that everyone, no matter how mistaken their beliefs, no matter how deep down it is, has the capability to be a good person with empathy. Which, yes, I recognize is very naive, but that's why I beleive that people, good people, with kindness and empathy for their neighbor, no matter their differences, will be the life rafts that people hold on to in the crisis that will inevitably happen. Now, it's very easy for me to think that way, because as I said, I'm Canadian, so I won't be experiencing this firsthand. But even if all I can do is love and support my friends most affected by this, I'll do that for as long as this takes.
Your optimism is very appreciated in such a cynical atmosphere we're in.
When I took my driver's test to get my license, there were certain things known as "automatic fails". If you did them during the test then you failed automatically despite being perfect elsewhere, such as if you hit the curb while parallel parking. Hit the curb while parallel parking = no driver's license.
There need to be "automatic fails" in place for positions within the 3 branches of the federal government that prevent certain people from gaining the levers of power.

I’m actually exhausted with how much disbelief I’ve had. It shakes my faith in humanity that because the economy is hard, Americans elected a billionaire criminal who will crush the rights of women and minorities and won’t even fix the economy.
Did you forget how many stayed home? Its not a majority that decided. Its a vocal and active minority. The majority dont see anyone worth showing up for. Get an FDR and that may change.
all stats show the economy is doing well. what people complain about is high prices and i don't see him combating that at all.
@ronblack7870 I feel like "the economy is doing well" is a kind of misrepresentation of the situation. Yes, the economy is doing well...but we don't really measure how our economy is doing by how the average person is doing, not anymore. The main thing that drives that statement is investment and employment rates.
But the average person is seeing reductions in their rights as "labor," income growth is being FAR outstripped by inflation, the poorest are struggling harder and the wealthy saw massive growth to their wealth.
If you're billionaire, the economy is awesome; if you work for a living the economy is crushing you.
Not that I think Trump will, or even can, fix it. Just that when politicians and pundits talk about "The Economy," they aren't really talking about the same thing we are.

I've been a poll worker for over 25 years. You wouldn't believe all the low-information and haven't voted in years people I processed at the polls this election. For example:
We show the names of the electors under each presidential candidate. A man called me over and asked me "who are these people (under DJTs name) and I said "they are the electors"
He said I"m not voting for them!"
I said that's how the system works"
And he said "the system sucks!" as angrily filled in the dot from Trump.
I had to be nice (as poll worker) but in my head I wanted to say "you clearly need a civics lesson".
He probably does need a civics lesson, but to be fair a lot of people on both sides of the aisle agree with him that "the [electoral college] system sucks!" Devin just did a video about "How to get rid of the electoral college".

Or they will have you over , you learn they want to to publicly say, you support the kkk. And if you don't. They will make sure you understand. They don't want you or your kind around those parts.

Don't just expect people with pre-existing conditions to pay more, but also to die because they can't afford it or are considered "uninsurable".
I had end-stage kidney disease at 14 that the doctors think was caused by a genetic issue that causes the kidneys to start shutting down from birth. So more like "have always existed with" as opposed to pre-existing. I thankfully have insurance through work and have had a transplant, but that's no guarantee. Losing the ACA terrifies me.
That was the entire point of the ACA. The mandate for everyone to have insurance meant that the costs of pre-existing conditions and otherwise-uninsurable patients could be offset by the premiums of everyone else. Now that there's no longer a mandate, and with Trump gunning for it, it seems like the ACA will assuredly vanish.
I live in a blue state and am strongly considering starting a petition to ask our newly elected democratic governor to enshrine in law the protections for people with pre-existing conditions. This part of the ACA is extremely popular. I dont know if you live in a blue state but similarly to how many states are adding state level abortion protections, we should do the same to protect people with pre-existing conditions.
Crazy thing is, I definitely remember stories pre-ACA of babies being denied insurance because they were born with some sort of congenital condition. And of course those things tend to be reaaallly expensive.
I'm actually of a group that could theoretically see my premiums go down if the ACA is repealed, but... giving up the pre-existing requirement would not be worth it. I'd like to say people who voted for this don't remember what that was like before, but.... GenX definitely is old enough to remember.

@@kolelamont8728 Sounds about right. 🤣
I'm Italian and it feels like I'm doing a rewatch of 1994 Berlusconi. But 30 years later and worse. Television personalities as ministers, women treated like objects. Italy will never recover
For real
Idk why I watch this stuff.. it just upsets me so much and makes me so incredibly angry. I can't believe how little empathy and intelligence the US has..
As much as it sucks, this is important and valuable information to have. But, nothing wrong with taking a break from it either
We're entering another gilded age of America, unfortunately.
Thats why he put it out. He wants you to feel that way because he has an agenda and wants to see people agree with him. He put up a 20+ minute video of panic porn fear mongering for the clicks.
Better to be infirmed than unaware
@@politicalbob30We have genuine reason to be concerned about another Trump presidency. You're either a liar or delusional if you claim that we are being overdramatic.
So... A "great" America is one of ignorance and abject stupidity.
This is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause.

The thunderous applause line 🙄🙄
@@arc4859how? What policies, economics, health, education, and whatever else, will make anyone’s lives better? And no I’m not talking about his billionaire friends
I really hate how the presidency has become an integral part of the culture war. It used to be about boring policies, but now it's this grandiose culture war position.
It’s to keep people divided and distracted so they don’t even think about protesting the real oppressors who are the rich 1%.
I love it.. makes people care more about what they never knew they were losing
This is why the government needs to be shrunk. All of DC is too powerful and they have treaded on the rights of every single American.
Shouldn't be a culture war to begin with. You want a healthy democracy and informed citizens. Not sudden frenzied chaos.
@kenlen8029 Exactly

Republicans: *moves all industry overseas*
also Republicans: *get mad about how much stuff is made overseas*
To be fair, this is the split between the traditional conservatism (Romney and before era) to trump populism conservatism. So really the republican party has changed. I agree it used to be pro globalism and now priorities have changed
@@Jack-gl2xw It's more because of Reaganomics and Milton Friedman who changed the entire concept of how businesses should run in the US, rather than finding it equally important to support their employees and their communities, these two 'geniuses' convinced the corporate sector that only profits mattered. It doesn't matter how, make the line go up. If it goes down your investors are going to tear you apart. Line only go up. So naturally that means cutting costs in any possible way, even if it saves only a fraction of a cent. And overseas labor is cheaper than American labor. So, yes, it was republicans as we know them today that caused this.
A potential interesting bit is Elon. He'll absolutely slash welfare etc programs, but if, a big if, he has any cognizance, he'll be crossing off these tiny lines on the budget next to "Military" "Oil Subsidies" (and gas prices), farm subsides... Considering he appears like, halfway into the spectrum, it'd be fun if he would cut just a little too much off of Trump's Gestapo budget: "I'm cutting funding for government investigators, cause it's bad for *my* business" "So what about my departments which are ousting judges, congressmen, news agencies?" "Can't you rely on your voters? Weren't you for less government? lmao"
@@JamesLacroixxI think the assumption was that the USA would produce other things. A Chinese textile plant was not going to produce a jumbojet.
I still haven't seen anyone willing to openly distance themselves from Reagan.
To all those who think Trump will never go through with Project 2025, I (a German) have to say:
We thought the same about silly mustache mans silly book.
Charlie Chaplin
Get back to me in 2027 😂 (an American)
Silly mustache man's silly book 💀
Lmfao. You're European, opinion instantly disregarded.
Bronem you weren’t alive for his reign so all your opinions are purely based off accounts of other people
So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause.
Not like it hasn’t happened before.
If democracy dies it's better at the hands of Trump than Kamala.
Iraq, 1979, is another example.
Good, this is supposed to be a Republic.
