If it weren’t for the existence of social democracies all over the world, the clown in this one-minute-long video might be somewhat credible.
Good thing for him that he’s talking to people most of whom couldn’t find Scandinavia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Iceland, etc. on a map.
Better yet, his followers don’t know that the people living in these countries are the happiest human beings on the planet.
Truth used to matter.
From the League of Conservationist Voters:
The pianist/vocalist in this short video captures what life in America is like in mid-2026.
Sound on, but not too loud.
What Trump has done to this nation and how he accomplished it will be the subject of much discussion by historians for as long as human civilization exists on Earth.
Certainly, the Founding Fathers never imagined that Americans would elect such a manifestly terrible person, and that congress would be so feckless to keep him in power.
The only one in America whose life is improved by mass deportation is Donald Trump.
Ignorant and hateful people (the MAGA base) love the idea of punishing people with brown skin. Yet working class white supremacists actually lose financially, as prices rise due to loss of workers in low-income jobs in agriculture, restauranting, childcare, landscaping, construction, hospitality, etc.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
I met a guy yesterday who observed that Americans seem so sad nowadays. His theory is that our jobs don’t pay well enough to enable us to attain financial stability vis-a-vis consumer prices, and that this is largely a function of corporate greed.
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is supreme right here.
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
One doesn’t have to wear this shirt in public to approve of its message.
In addition to the world “idiot” I would add the word “hateful.” You really can’t be in the MAGA crowd without a deep repulsion for blacks, scientists, gays, immigrants, Muslims, women, intellectuals, and people of kindness.
