0:03 and it's not stuff that's happened to other people this is just personally to me from from people that are are trying to get me to agree with them and I think a lot of the time I I can't agree with someone that looks like they absolutely hate me I don't know why that why people even think that's even going to [Music] work one of the craziest things I've seen during this election cycle is somebody was interviewed from a polling place and they said like hey uh you're a Latino male why do you want to vote for republicans and he said because the Democrats make me feel bad about who I am how crazy is that that's one of the reasons why I left the Democrats in 2011 because um I started to see cuz I would watch you know the Republican primary and the Democrat primary cuz I was just see and then Ron Paul was popping out
0:54 the best maybe was it 2012 but he started coming up and I was like oh this guy is kind of cool like he's talking about going back to the gold standard and like whether it was real or not he had very revolutionary ideas that were like why are we spending so much on Military and I was like I've never heard any politician say these things and then so I was like who is this guy oh he's he's a Libertarian what's a Libertarian and I started looking into it when I talked to my friends I would share these ideas and then they would literally look at me and say like why you you know jumping ████ like that's white supremacy all this stuff and I'm like hold up like how is this white supremacy like it has nothing to do with race um and then I started thinking like wait a minute like I never had a choice I was born into
1:44 being a Democrat why is that yeah and I think I told you this too like when I was in elementary school we um were taught about like voting and all that and they had these are the what Republicans are these are what Democrats are and I specifically remember that I was like oh at the time I love GI Jo so I like the guns right so I'm like oh Republicans they like the guns and also they like Jesus and I go I go to church so I was like oh I'm a Republican and I remember being shamed by my teacher to go Democrat you remember what I you know what I remember in elementary school it was they were trying to teach us this and then we all voted like if we wanted George Bush or Bill Clinton that's when they were running and they said like what's Republican Republican they care about the rich people what's the Democrat the Democrat cares about the working class that's what I thought and that's how boiled down it is and that's how soon and how early you get
2:35 indoctrinated so you're like of course I'm going to be a Democrat I don't care about those rich people that don't care about me brainwashing starts in schools that's how simple it was didn't care about policy when I looked back I was like dude like why okay so why does it have to be so race based and then so the biggest question that I had was why do and I used to think this too is if you're a minority who who votes Republican you're a race trador and I was like that's how they make you feel why why does why does that a thing like it's like you can't choose anything else other than the left and I was like but that's not diversity cuz is it real diversity when you're black Asian whatever and you're being represented in all parts of American government all political parties everything and then we're sprinkled all over the place and
3:25 then you know you're challenging based on thoughts not because of the color of your skin that's when I was like oh this is a weird kind of like hey stay on our team cuz this is what we do and don't question it cuz this is what Asians do this is and I'm just I I didn't like that anymore you know that's what Asians do yeah yeah and it's like oh and then oh look that guy's Republican oh he's a white worshipper he's like they don't even listen to his idea is because oh he just wants to be white and I'm like that's not even an intelligent conversation yeah dude sometimes I think they purposely just say ████ to push people's buttons emotionally just to get them on their side doesn't matter if there's logic whatever and they just want to say ████ like hot words race this that white supremacy was the biggest one that's why I'm like I just can't get on board with anybody that really thinks white supremacy is a cause
4:15 for everything dude but that's the thing people get so emotional and like they go into that emotion of anger and whatever whatever to the point where they don't they're not even thinking about what they're saying and how they're echoing other people and like that's the crazy part to me like they they don't understand that they're just copying other people people just to be on this one side it avoids a lot of accountability and I think for personally for me I blame myself for pretty much everything that goes wrong in my life and I think I already don't match the left because of that and a lot of a lot of things that happen for the left is because of a system a systemic thing or I just don't I don't have that ideology for myself in in the universe but it does make sense that yes there is probably something wrong with the system that causes people to behave a certain way right and that's probably what they're angry about you know but then that's because that's just how they see it and we don't see it like that if
5:05 there wasn't any anything wrong with the system nobody would want to fix it but it's just to me it's just about like how how can you actually address problems but I don't think that fuels your decision every time I think the problems in the system force you to come to a unique Crossroads but your choice is always the one that matters and productive people always take adversity and just ████ do whatever they're going to do I think it comes down to like what type of person you are really and then that's how you get swayed to either side that's that's why Nick got punched to the right they say punch the right when I think about what a Democrat is right I think it's like they still believe in free market economy and then they just want a fair shot for the working person and they want representation for the Working Class People but when it gets to this militant socialist mentality of like race-based
5:57 and you know identity politic politics that's when I'm just like I don't like that culture but bro everything they fought for right Obamacare it was written by the insurance companies well that's where the corporatist stuff comes inly so it's like you got your win you think but you're not getting your socialist win and it happened on both sides which made me super J frustrating yeah yeah exactly and don't doesn't it happen a lot too when when there is an election and then the candidates that are running are saying I'm going to fight for this I'm going to fight for this and then when they actually go into office none of that ████ actually happen Joe Biden just did this hey Trump is against democracy he's a tyrant he's a ████ Hitler guy hey congratulations well done I voted for you which is cool but then like see that every every election it's like it happens people don't understand that they're being used
6:47 like emotionally weaponized and weaponized and like it's all part of the model the convention model is to emotionally attach you to a candidate I've been saying this for years so that you really want to vote you want to vote more than ever because you're emotionally attached and that makes you like run into the voters box and like go oh but you even when you look look like election week and post-election week it's really interesting to see because you start to see and he I like to ask people like why are you voting for this person why are you voting for this person and a lot of it is very emotional based and especially a lot of my friends that were voting very like Cala based they were very thinking about like the emotions of the bad sides of Trump versus like what are some policies that you really like from Cala or from the blue side it never is they more counterargument exactly and and that was the perfect like like analogies like it
7:39 is a lot of reaction rather than like these are my thoughts these are my plans this is my way to do it and I feel like the media on that side too kind of sides that favorable like it it sides the the race baiting they weaponize it because it's a it's an easier argument and that's what gets people so emotionally by the wait what the hell did George W bush run on if you remember and you're probably like 5 years old or some sh he ran on he ran on we need to make Washington more decent because Bill Clinton just got a ████ in the Oval Office so they just I me counter whatever it was the same thing and guess what Alor ran on policy yeah he ran on like let's put Social Security into a lock box so we can actually keep it solvent he actually ran on policy but but like the at the time George Bush was more effective at running the emotion against the American people and that's what won cuz we were still in
8:30 and it ████ worked well I mean one you know with politics what I've learned about it is it's not about convincing the other side it's about getting your party to go vote that's it emotionally radicalizing them and that's the that's the catch 2 get the people people are kind of Primal to where the fear all that that's what they respond to so the campaign is going to go that way cuz or else no one's going to actually vote and then that's where my cynical side goes do we even deserve this system because people are too ████ lazy if they're not activated to do it but people didn't show up for comma because it wasn't effective people go cool like um that doesn't help me buy groceries and Trump would like talk about that stuff and I think that's the reason why they won people like yeah it
9:21 was the simplest issue a billionaire related to people better than K Harris did he's he's really good at marketing very good but also we're not trumpers in a way where like oh we're we're he can do no wrong I think hey he's in now let's see what magga can do I'm not emotionally attached to anybody I just wanted my ████ cryptos go up and they did it huge ████ did I knew they would but going back to that Trump point is like I just feel like objectively whether you agree with either side or not they had more of the momentum of the talking points they had like a story it was just like it was just better marketing yeah and people no and people got really behind it like the fact like you look at people that supported Kamala just didn't seem very passionate the people that supported Trump they were ████ fired up they were like they were excited to go vote that which is why people think that it's a cult yeah but but on either side depending on who it is if you switch it for blue or red I
10:13 think it's the same story like Obama the reason why he's swept everybody there was a story like you can get behind the americ exactly the American people we all want the same thing who's the change candidate be John McCain brother dude the the crazy thing is like one side is more sensible or or like at least realizes that yeah we're all being manipulated but from both sides you know both sides know how to manipulate everyone TR to get you one side can sell better than the other that's the game depending on what's going on and some people have the tarity to know that and some people don't I've never had a problem with like someone on the opposite side of something I have a problem with someone not being able to get along with me over someone that's so ████ far from you and doesn't give a ████ you know like I can get along with you no matter what you think but then something like that's why I really wish that thems would look at themselves hardcore for this one because now that
11:04 it's all over let's just ████ go back to being nice to each other that's what really needs to happen let's just go back to that because that's when you can really find actual Progressive thought not when we're all just trying to like win you know like I don't that's what I wanted to go back to everyone kind of feels that sentiment as well people have been radicalized to the point where now they believe that the other side are a bunch of demons and that's when it gets dangerous because like if you know a lot of the argu that I do hear is how can you support someone who's against human rights who's against who's like whatever right so these are words that are so very powerful you paint a picture of a person so evil and wrong we're associated with that y now I mean I can see why someone tried to assassinate Trump it's like hey we're trying to stop Hitler it's not just the American candidate that like we're voting for and
11:55 we have a couple of differences now it's like you guys are evil and I think that that is why it justifies them in their mind to go ████ you guys I don't want to be your friend anymore but then guess what they'll huddle up with the chenies which is weird who murdered a million people in Iraq right like we went to a war in Iraq and we murdered a million people there like you can it's objectively a fact so like the fact that they go like oh that's okay because that was then or whatever no I I actually think I know the reason why I think it's because if you're gen Z you don't know what the past was so what you see as a confirmation of look even Republicans don't support Trump that's what makes him an evil person they don't know the chenies and and the stuff that we know and we didn't like the Republicans for
12:45 that reason dude this is like some Attack on Titan ████ man you guys need to watch that ████ it's like how ████ repeats and then they the new generation forgets that this is what it's the same ████ it is the every country it right now dude yeah let's go watch right now yeah it's just crazy how people fall for the political theater ████ every time power
