TheColonialKickass There are none. Bernie is not necessarily an outsider either.

I honestly don't see what Trump supporters see in him...

:ToggleSwitch:​ But when he gets asked the question about how will he possibly enforce his so called "policies" he just doesn't reply. And his tax returns? Nixon released his tax returns when he was being audited so it makes people raise the question; "what is he hiding?" I honestly can not and do not see him as our president. Yes he is good with money due to him being a businessman but he has no experience in the area of politics. A majority of Americans may not trust the government and Donald Trump is quite the patriot that symbolizes this. What he doesn't symbolize is exactly what we want. Not the other way around. He needs to understand that a president is not the person calling the shots. It's the Senate. He could attempt to make his policies into one of our laws but Congress can veto it. Trump would be a part of the three branches of government, not the one ruling. 

He probably just did that to get the media back on him instead of John Lewis’s Funeral.

I feel like Trump's suggestions that the election will be the most rigged in history are dangerous, since they are inviting America's enemies (China, Russia, etc.) to interfere in the election

Unkown Coder True. It’s just Trump’s narcissism. However, we should be careful the direction this country goes in towards the future... The federal system has always been pretty right leaning. Now it’s much more so (look up the Overton Window).

That's the worst comparison. Do you think Germany was dragged through turmoil as a result of capitalism? Germany was paying for reparations without even having fixed itself first, a problem which is not at all linked to its economic philosophy. Soon after the war West Germany and later Germany as a whole has become and continues to be a beacon of capitalism. The moderate right has been on the rise in western societies economically speaking for a long time. This has nothing to do with fascism, which is in fact mostly contradictory to right wing economics as it's largely socialist in its economics. At the same time western countries have become more left socially. It's more complicated than purely left *or* right and 'capitalism bad, socialism good!'. Simplifying the issue to justify your own politics is just pointing blame around.

@@jesusgeek7680 just admit it because I already know

You do know that every modern Occidental Constituion implies limitations of personal freedom in order to achieve social security, right? Every modern State which bases its existence on Constitutions, laws and other rules limits the liberty of its citizens. Maybe you're looking for something different. I'd say the problem is the amplitude, the intensity with which the State limits the freedom of its citizens. Too much freedom brings chaos and insecurity. Too much captivity/restrictions prevent dynamism, growth, happiness and well being. In my opinion, States should regulate such intensity according to the present political, social, economic and international situation. Doing such a thing in a correct manner is a hard task and it's not easy for anyone. This might explain why some leaders act in an exaggerated way. Trump isn't necessarily doing good or bad, but he's the outcome of a value crisis.

@@judgeady2391 "How much liberty do the people deserve". That's what your trying to determine. The answer is More. The answer is always more, with one caveat: liberty needs order as much as it needs chaos.

Pardon?

Trump is not authoritarian? Consider... 1) Stating Mexico WILL pay for the wall rather than first entering any discussions let alone negotiations. 2) By law, each deportation must be preceded by due process. Trump's mass deportation proposal would violate existing laws. 3) Barring entry to this country based on religion violates the First Amendment. 4) Advocating 'waterboarding and worse' violates many U.S. and international laws we are signatures to, including the Geneva convention. 5) Advocating the killing of families of terrorists violates international laws we are signatures to, including the Geneva convention. 6) Some of our trade agreements have a term period. Trump advocates unilaterally breaking these agreements. 7) A measure of authoritarianism is being punitive towards opponents. Trump's childish, derogatory name calling of every opponent, suggesting protestors be punched in the face and carried out on stretchers is the polar opposite of reasoned debate and respect for alternative views. His comments about McCain and the disabled reporter were inexcusable. 8) In an interview with Ivanka Trump, she respectfully described the way her father runs the business as 'there's him and then there's everybody else', along with other comments suggestive of a very dominant style. It may work and you may rightfully support it. But it IS an authoritarian style.

Gregory Parrott oh his rhetorical style is authoritarian but his actions are more in line with a compromiser. He did reach out to Lindsey Graham and sat down with Paul Ryan. An authoritarian would have kept steamrolling rather than talking.

Are you saying his actions will contradict what he has repeatedly and emphatically told his supporters? Boy, will his supporters be pissed. As for 'reaching out', he has to if he stands any chance of winning. He also stands to gain hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign money held by the Republican committee should he win their endorsement.

The libertarian ideal is known as “trickle down economics” and is also used widely by the Conservative party, who are on the lesser side of the authoritarian right.

I don't think that's the case, as it's looking pretty likely Trump will lose in 2020, and Republicans will want to avoid electing another person like him in fear of losing. But if it was, the US would break up pretty quickly, perhaps as early as Trump's second term.

@Katherine Yu : what I'll change from my original post is that since the election was so close, including minimized GOP losses in the Senate, and slight gain in the House, Trumpism is unfortunately not dead.

The only thing this is saying is that the only factor that predicts support for Trump consistently is testing positively in the authoritarianims test. That is fact that was tested and the test was repeated successfully and you can repeat it again if you doubt it.

Nixon was afraid (literally) of the people. Back then we protested against wrongs. The Vietnam war, civil rights, etc. Chris Hedges tells of a time when the White House was surrounded by tour busses in order to keep protesters at bay. Nixon told Johnson he was afraid they would be killed. He passed a lot of laws (bills) as did Johnson out of fear. Mr Hedges says this is what the American people have lost. Instead of our government fearing it"s people, we now are in fear of our government. A bad place to be for any productive civil change. They now rub their misdeeds in our face as if to say "what you gonna do about it?" Nixon resigned for Watergate. Now we watch, as a should-be convicted felon, who's crimes make Watergate look like a college prank, is likely to become our next president. They are trying to divide and conquer, and until we can join together ( whites, people of color, Christians, Muslims, police, etc., etc., etc.) and once again put the fear back into them (They work for us) we will get nothing but what the Central Bank feels we deserve. By the way, Nixon took us off the gold standard also. Sorry for the rant! I truly thought things were going to change for the better 7 1/2 years ago. I'm bitter. Check out Chris Hedges. He now has a show on RT

the Chase scene yes, I agree , there are a lot of reasons to dislike Nixon, but he was not a segregationist, as this video suggests.

💭

the Chase scene I don't see how Nixon passed any bills out of fear, you do understand that Congress passes bills, not the president? he only signs then into law after being passed by Congress. .

I agree totally with what you said. People don't protest anymore. Too many people have just a horrible attitude toward voting in general. Some people have literally told me "ITs a corrupt system and by even voting your validating it"......I mean come on. Only one thing though I tend to be very sceptical of RT, thats Russia Today.

+Reyes I. this is exactly why I left the Democrats

+Ecthelion i would pick the corporate puppet lier over the lunatic unintelligent irrational racist oompa loompa any day

+Vito Corleone you mean the God-emperor? Yeah I'll pick a builder rather than a defiler. Political children can cry racist all they want.

+Ecthelion that's stupid since you obviously need acceptance of others to have your opinions validated.

Cinqmil Donald trump is not a philosopher. He's a sophist.

Kyle Reaves You are correct in stating Trump is not a philosopher! He is not, however you are incorrectly identifying his form of rhetoric or his rhetorical socio reasoning style as "sophic", of which I am trusting your usage to be the negative connotational implication as essentially condensed to that of he being a "blow hard", and not the Socratesian era meaning someone who is scientifically inclined toward thought, knowledge and reason. Trump consistently demonstrates a surprising trait we do not often see in any world leader, and yes, Trump now qualifies as a world leader. It would surprise many to realize or more appropriately, "come to the realization" Trump is living, not acting out, but living ethos, pathos and logos. My point is: Trumps approach appeal to iterate his political concepts to a mass audience is raw, but not so raw that he is not understandable. Even more surprising is Trump is an "egalitarian"! Yes you read this correctly. Trump is not only egalitarian, he is also classic libertarian de pensee et d'spirit. Mr. Obama on the other hand routinely demonstrates classic characteristics leaning toward mild to less lenient sophism as he continually rails on and on in his public addressing issues as self serving and attempting to build confidence in his audience in his failed attempts at disguising worn out communistic dogma for enlightened thought on mission for equality by attempting to champion the underdog. Trump is who he appears to be as he acknowledges his shortcomings and owns up to his indiscretions. Obama on the other hand is one of many, many undefinable flowers from the garden of good and evil. Naturally Obama is attracted to those who fulfill his requirement for indulgence in self-gratification, esteem building and living blind to the eye of which is reality.

u should take shrooms and reread what you wrote hahahah jesus man get a grip

Shawn Brown - Leaving aside your dubious comparison to Obama, I see two glaring problems with your philosophical analysis of Trump. First, you claim that “Trump is living, not acting out, but living, logos, pathos, and ethos”. Only one of those is true. Trump is the truest embodiment of Socratic pathos (emotion/impulse) that I have ever seen in an adult. He has very little, if any, grasp of the moderating logos (logic/forethought) and certainly none of the balance required of ethos (morality/character) that Socrates considered ideal. Secondly, you say that “Trump acknowledges his shortcomings and owns up to his indiscretions.” This contention is patently absurd, since it should be obvious to even the most casual observer that one of Trump’s most infuriating flaws is his shocking inability to accept responsibility for any of his mistakes, constantly passing blame on to others, or attempting to minimize his errors. I think the reason that some people might think that Trump “is who he appears to be”, and be attracted to this, is that they see Trump’s complete lack of shame, and confuse that with earnestness or honesty. Trump might seem to be a “straight talker” because he will never, ever back down from anything he says, no matter how verifiably wrong it may be, thus leaving an initial impression that he is forthright, simply because he can lie without the pangs of guilt that cause most people to back off on statements they know are untrue. Whereas other politicians might train themselves to suppress their conscience or justify untruths, Trump is entirely without conscience, so there is nothing to suppress.

Any 5th grader today knows more than Plato ever did...

Trump the goat

what do you mean by strict parenting? Unsupportive and shut down your child's curiosity is a good thing huh?

I'm a libertarian and I'm voting for Trump

+Stance Punk Woot

+Stance Punk You'll vote for trump when Rand is his VP. Either Trump/Rand or hillary. pick one

+Stance Punk I could see Trump liking Rand because Rand will never up stage him LOL. But Trump says he wants a vp that will get things done and I don't know if Rand is that person. Rand strikes me more as a veto type person than getting things done.

Libertarianism and Authoritarianism are polar opposites

how do you know that based on this video? how were the questions biased?

If you looked at their actual studies they were pretty poor sample sizes and gave no indication of error. www.vox.com/2016/2/23/11099644/trump-support-authoritarianism The narrarator applied the statistics of 358 Carolinians, who VOX blatantly states is an assumption on their part that they are going to vote, to the entirety of the voter base.

+Crafting Creepers well said

+Crafting Creepers ok I agree the sample size is fairly small. assuming they used multiple regression, which it sounds like in the article you linked, the fact that these correlates of authoritarian preferences were the only significant betas (predictors of supporting trump) is fascinating. age and gender and all that weren't significant at all? that's worth reporting. more surveys and bigger samples are warranted, but as a pilot study this gives us a good quick approximation of what's driving people. it's not a judgment or an insult to trump. I agree it would be better if the video described this as a small pilot study. and more proof that their questions are good correlates for authoritarianism. I don't think it's fair to dismiss the study. they have definitely tapped into something here. it's not like they barely got a result. authoritarianism (or their approximation of it) was the only significant predictor!

"Both surveys measured authoritarianism with a simple battery of four questions related to parenting. Political scientists, including Marc Hetherington, Jonathan Weiler, and Karen Stenner, have used these questions since the early 1990s to estimate authoritarianism because of their accuracy in predicting authoritarian behavior." Marc Hetherington teaches Political Science at Vanderbilt. If you've seen better from freshmen, you must be teaching some damn smart kids. I mean, it's still sensational reporting, but you can't blame them. Imagine if they titled the article, "Among South Carolina Republican Primary voters in one poll, the best predictor of Trump support..." That would be so mind-numbingly boring no one would click on it. They still acknowledge authoritarianism isn't the sole factor, but I would be surprised if future studies found it to be entirely irrelevant (especially among South Carolina Republicans).

you might not "think" that but data proves you wrong

+LordStar But Trump is not a strong leader. He sounds strong certainly, undoubtaly, but I don't trust him at the head because he doesn't know how to run a government. I don't say that because he's never held public office, but because what he has proposed will crash our economy. Like cutting taxes to 10% for people while keeping social securty and medicare. If you want I can link you a wonderful video concerning how much tax plans and spending coencide to determine how much debt we have. Like, in the current economy as it is at present, if we cut our two biggest expenditures, Social Security and the Military, then we could come close to balancing the budget. Also his wall. I'm not saying that we don't have the money to spend on it. It would increase the debt quite a bit but we could. However the idea that Mexico would have to foot the bill does not work because: 1. Mexico would not sign such a deal because 2. They don't really have anything to gain or fear from the US because 3. Economic sanctions or war would ruin our economy because Mexico is our third largest trading partner, and it would also most certainly be a violation of NAFTA which would hurt 4. Our largest trading partner, Canada. In the modern world, war and violance and conflict as a rule damage econimes, which is why 1946 and 1947 were incredibly bad years for our economy, it was only the cooperation under the Martial Plan among other programs that allowed the economy to flourish again. Trump does not have much nuance or negotiating ability, and he doesn't take well to no. Yes, that kind of attitude can seem strong, but Wall Street fears Trump, because he doesn't negotiate well with anyone, becuase we don't know what kind of foriegn policy he'd persue, and the idea even that he could can send ripples across the economy. A strong leader, to me, is one that understands how government works, how the economy works, and how to manage it well. Trump does not have those skills. He's strong in places, but not in a governmental position.

"strong leader" that throws a fit and threatens to sue every time someone makes fun of him

+jr123 Dont believe the Lies of Liberal Biased Anti-Trump Media Propaganda. Listen to Trump speeches and Interviews fully and decide for yourselves.

+LordStar Course you don't, the germans didn't see anything wrong with Hitler until it was too late.

YourAverageEnemy Yeah right everytime bring Hitler... Stupid fools... Trump speaks for Every American... There is big problem in this country and only Trump can solve this...

I think you don't understand what they want and they don't understand you. They want the same rights as anyone else -- for everyone else. That's not anti-white, unless you're against giving them the same rights. I do agree that they've shoved their culture war down the throats of those who disagree with them, with great glee, and they've earned a lot of scorn they deserve.

David Goorevitch the person you just replied to tossed his credibility out the window with those 2 statements

Heil Trump

I think the American people saw the open border policies of the European Union at a time before our elections took place. There was one candidate that wanted to follow the EU and there was another one who didn't. Call it fear or whatever you want but the amount of Islamic terrorism in Europe due to their open borders were happening once a month. The contrast was clear. The vote for Trump was easy. The European politicians were not defending the safety of their countryman but rather be politically correct for fear of backlash and inability to get reelected. The federal government is responsible for protecting it's citizens and that is why BREXIT happened. That is why Trump got elected. That is why nationalism is rising because globalization only benefits global investors, multi national corporations and the ruling class. All while forgetting who put them all in power, the peasants.

Trump isn't the cause, he is a symptom of much larger problems in America; ignorance, a declining middle class, and racism.

Oh, those 5 million forged and double-entered ballots? Pay no attention to them.

@@JodyBruchon I will keep an open mind on this, I assure you. Would you be so kind as to present me with absolutely any evidence that is not circumstantial on this matter. I will listen to you with an open head, I promise.

or orange tan

You think this is good material . LMFAO. Vox is a bullshit Soros medium.

+SAbertooth Turtle Don't forget the Illuminati support!!

Chumba Wumba Precisely that gives us more authority on the topic.

Then as you didn't prevent it in yours, your perspective is also useless.

May I remind you that the last dictatorship in Argentina, and the last wave of dictatorships in South America, where aprox. 80 thousand people were tortured and killed, had financial and logistic support from the U.S.?

Maxime van Raemdonck he never said to

@@allofaidenoninsta9141 Sure he did.

Allofaiden On insta yup he did

Well to be honest hes not a scientist and during a time where people are explaining why soap kills viruses and needs to manage the most powerful country during a pandemic I couldn't see why.

He did what now?

Magswitch his lackey tampered with the post office

Jay Torres y’all say that with no proof😂😂the judge is still waiting for trump to provide any statistics or analyses

Timothy Dingman due to the fact the seemingly a majority of people that age are conservatives who refuse to realize America needs to change to stay on top of the world like they always say america should then sadly yes

I don't know if America needs to "stay on top of the world" unless, by that, yo u mean stay competitive.

Well, the under 30 population overwhelmingly voted against Trump, so in about 34 years the U.S. should be overwhelmingly that way.

Yes.

Yes, and in fact, the 55 and up white, non college educated voters who overwhelmingly supported Trump and all his hate are dying off every day, and at a pretty good clip. I am southern, white, working class and rural and know those people well. They eat too much Hardee's, they have high rates of smoking, alcoholism, and only exercise if their job entails physical labor. Watch 2018. The Republicans are facing a bloodbath. 2020 will be worse for them. The racist, fearful, hateful and superstitious conservative movement is finished and they know it. That's why they rammed through the tax give away despite the inevitable hit at the polls. If you're going to lose anyway...why not grab what you can, while you can? They should be rounded up and sent to Antarctica.

We tried Obama, and he bowed down the other leaders like the leader of Syria or Saudi Arabia Trump would not do that and thank God for that let's keep a man in the White House

@@juddellis4739 Isn't trying to defend the bunker boy at this point stooping a little low?

Judd Ellis , Trump bowed to the leader of South Arabia and received a collar with a medal 🎖. It is documented on videos . You have a weak memory ! He calls Kim Jong Un a leader who loves his people , he praises Putin , he is best friends with Bolsonaro . Need more examples ?

@@mariahelenatietjen5427 I'm just going to tell people about the Lord and keep going

Judd Ellis , in other words , your Lord will keep this corrupt president at the White House and you will go on praising your Lord and keep going . If you are a real Christian you have a duty to fulfill : fight against injustice and immoral behavior. As far as it concerns my person I am a white atheist who always fought for justice and equality. I am a south European woman who lived under the pressure of a dictatorship and my ancestors were colonialists.

Wow, I didn't even realize this video was old... it could have been made yesterday. Everything in it still rings true in 2020 or maybe even worse somehow.

Law and order is nothing new, it's a common trend among many American presidents. Americans like it, there's a reason they got elected

@Cissle YT I wish the protestors would just go home and campaign for Biden instead. All they're doing right now is helping him by providing a screen for bad actors to create violence and mayhem for trump. Resume the protests after he's gone if necessary, when he's not around to use you for his fear campaign.

+VerifiedNews ...how exactly are Christians and whites being discriminated against?

+Cody Fields you haven't heard all the news about white Christians being persecuted and discriminated against?? well, that might be due to it only existing in the heads of troglodytes. who knows what nonexistent societal ill they'll conjur up next. I hope it's as good as their belief that folks on food stamps are eating steak and lobster every night...

I don't remember that police were indiscriminately shooting whites...

+Al-Arab Police aren't indiscriminately shooting other races, either. Most of the shootings are justifiable, and everytime some 'gentle giant' gets his brain splattered over the road, courts find out he is the aggressor.

when is it okay to discriminate against whites? discrimination is bad no matter who you are doing it to.

Vito Corleone How is it so that Trump is both what the Republican party has been pushing for and that he is reviled by nearly all establishment GOP figures?

+TheGerogero A member of The New World Order said it's makes no difference who they vote for, we own both parties.

+TheGerogero He is reviled because he is a moron and a clown. The GOP wants someone with his views who is not so dangerously inept and doesn't make the party and country look like a joke. Trump is a guy who currently has a wrestler profile on WWE's website and got famous with reality tv. It would make the country look like a joke to have him in charge.

+TheGerogero Define "Regressive".
