 Donald Trump will be out of office soon But when he's out, they're still going to be millions of people millions of Trump supporters millions of people within this cult and They're not gonna go away. They either need to be brought back to reality or some other demagogue who may be even more effective politically than Donald Trump will come along and Capitalize on their ignorance and stupidity and as a country we have to grapple with this We have to grapple with the fact that there's a large portion of American society that just rejects empirical reality How do we go forward as a country? It's a real question. It's an issue that we're all going to have to deal with So I've got a series of videos here one from status coup a couple from CNN where reporters will talk to Trump supporters and the things that they say It's downright delusional like this is cult-like. It's sycophantic, but it's just More so than anything else. It makes you really feel just disturbed and hopeless at the situation. So this one is from John Farina of status coup. He talks to Trump supporters and What we see here, I haven't seen all of this Just watch And can you tell me about the the steal the why you're here to stop the steal? They already proved in Pennsylvania that over 200,000 votes more than how many people voted in the state of Pennsylvania Not include all the rest of the illegal votes that happen in all the other states Yeah, I don't feel we're being represented 80 million people now probably more like 90 million people that are pissed off about the election and everybody you know it They all know That's all he says dominion voting machines and then he's got nothing every which way you could That's not evidence that isn't sufficient to prove the election was stolen I just these folks live in an alternate reality The cognitive dissonance is so strong that they've just like bought into their own delusions and like if Trump Was like everything he said occurred in a vacuum and it only affected him That'd be one thing but the fact that his supporters believe his lies and stupidity That's the real issue here the folk the fact that these folks believe the election was stolen from Donald Trump is insane It's insane if the election was stolen don't you think that Democrats would have you know done a little bit more to Steal the house not lose ground in the house get a more comfortable margin in the Senate Don't you think that the Republicans from Georgia such as Marjorie Taylor Greene who won handily? Would have lost their elections as well like there's no consistency here It's just convenient thinking because they don't want to believe that daddy Trump could ever lose because you know He built this brand of I'm the ultimate deal maker I'm a winner and you're never gonna get tired of winning or whatever. It's just you know They can't they can't believe anything that contradicts their worldview. So they just choose to literally reject Empirical reality. It's astonishing to me to watch this I've dumped women for less evidence of cheating I'm sure they're better off now, dude We got to keep these freedoms that we have This individual literally Believes that democracy was stolen. And so the only way to unrig this election is to take Biden's win away But to save democracy what he doesn't understand is he in his mind at saving democracy, but in actuality You are the ones who are stealing democracy. You're stealing democracy away from the rightful winner Joe Biden love him or hate him got almost what was it 10 million more votes than Donald Trump And yet you still believe it was stolen And see that's the issue. It's that like these folks genuinely believe that they are doing the right thing It's not them. Who's attacking democracy It's anyone who doesn't buy into these lies. They're all part of it. They're co-conspirators, you know, they're complicit This this is going to be an issue for a really long time like the outright delusional behavior of the republican party base will continue to be a problem so long as the republican party elected republicans Make them believe this stuff You know, I think there's a lot of republicans in congress who are stupid and believe this bullshit like marjorie taylor green Um, louis gomer, there's a bunch of them But a lot of them know exactly what they're doing and they know that they are working these folks into a frenzy Either because they are scared to challenge donald trump's stupidity or because you know, they want to fundraise off of donald trump and make it Same as that they're fighting for donald trump It's a tipping point in america right now Yeah, it is he's right about that Not for the reasons he thinks the election was stolen because you can see the church and the graphs I saw it up that night watching it And he sees donald trump The church is going like this and then all of a sudden they stop counting woke up the next morning and the graphs are going straight up Man, that's you know, that's more evidence that i've heard. I think we're done with this video Yeah, we're done. That's more evidence than i've heard from anyone, you know The graph goes up like this and then it goes up and the numbers go up and then it goes like this and it goes like this That's honestly like as incoherent as that was he presented more evidence than any other trump supporter Look, let me just say this if these weird jumps Weird to you in vote totals while they're counting the votes is suspicious then ask yourself this Did you think that you know in the georgia runoff race When all of a sudden warlock and ossoff were leading by like 12 13 points and then Seems like low flur and perdu just suddenly made this huge gain because certain areas came in Like is that not suspicious to you? Did it seem like republicans were stealing it? Or is it only election theft when you see these jumps happen that benefit democrats? I think we know the answer and the answer is whatever. I want to believe I don't need evidence I just need my belief and I need to have faith and believe it's wrong enough Okay, so this next video is from cnn. Um, this is on january 4th. This is before the georgia runoff race and this Has got to be the most batshit insane thing i've ever seen honestly the cnn reporter Uh, he has talked to so many mega chuds. He has to be experiencing brain rot by now So this is truly an american patriot for what he's doing I could I couldn't talk to this many trump supporters and not lose faith in humanity But nonetheless, he's here and what he documents is stunning Do you think that trump will eventually accept that that biden is the next president? Biden isn't trump is the next president. I'm going to the inauguration for trump I've booked it before the election. They're saying this on january 4th With the inauguration weeks away. They still believe trump will be inaugurated I just I don't know what to say about this so Will they believe That uh when biden is actually inaugurated and we can all see it on television Like do they think it's a false flag? Do they think that like this is some sort of shadow government and trump is like actually still in charge I just like I don't know like I want to talk to these folks and pick their brains I actually don't want to do that, but it's just What they're saying is batshit fucking insane I don't know. I don't know how else to describe this He's gonna be there and he's gonna be do he's gonna be elected. So he'll be president. We'll see about that No, he will be president till 2024 You're saying this on january 4th Oh my gosh, like What else more needs to happen every single state certified the election results the electoral college voted Now congress has since certified. The only thing left is for joe biden to be sworn in At what point do you think maybe there's just a small chance that i'm wrong I don't think these people are capable of uh self-reflection Practically every day since the election new supposed evidence purporting to prove Oh This dude looks familiar doesn't he this is one of the dudes who stormed the capital Holy shit. This dude is everywhere. So he was in georgia and that actually uh Isn't this the leader of the proud boys? They are busy They're on the move Joe biden did not win Circulates in the social media bubble trump and his supporters living Hello georgia by the way There's no way we lost georgia. There's no way Two months since election day and just two weeks sub biden's inauguration Many are still refusing to accept reality Obviously trump is is saying that the election was stolen from him in here in georgia doesn't trust the Republican election officials here Does that cause a problem or an issue? Yeah, the republicans the republicans were complicit in stealing the election Several people. Yeah, people are not have been demoralized and Have actually told me that they do not want to vote because they feel like their vote isn't going to count Yeah, that happens when you're hearing from trump supporters republican voters saying I didn't also even vote this week Uh, yeah, but you know what most of them after we talked to them have voted I've spent a lot of time last week calling people up and and the people who first said they they weren't gonna vote After I spoke to them they are gonna vote in georgia. I'm so glad those goals lost Trust the elections, right? Secretary of state all that they've said they've investigated and investigated. They've counted three or four times And they said biden has still won. Do you accept that? No, not all republicans are good people Just because they're republicans trump is to keep saying that he didn't actually lose Like why would brian kemp Help joe biden steal the election like brian kemp himself Is a fucking scumbag He oversaw his own election in 2018 when uh, he was running for governor against stacey abrams He was the secretary of state overseeing his own election purged black voters from the rolls like limited polling locations So this is a scumbag of course He would prefer trump win of all people brian kemp like you'd think that they'd believe He's a true kool-aid drinker a true believer like they are but you know, you didn't tell us what we wanted to hear So, uh, you're a traitor. Fuck you. That's that's their thinking election was stolen Do you think it's just time for him to to give up and and let by the takeover step up and say Let's walk away. Yeah, okay. Let him do his job. Yeah You're in the you're in the only people today. I was willing to hear he's genuinely shot. Why do you think that's important? Because it's showing who's the better person You know, if you're gonna continue fighting, what's the use? I mean, you know, if you've already lost it, let it go Wait till next term that a rare opinion at this trump rally Also rare, but worrying talk of civil war. Will you accept Joe biden as president? No, he'll never be my president Okay, but you know you accept that he's going to be inaugurated. No, I don't I mean, how could that change at this point? Well, it could be a civil war. You never know. Oh, there could be a civil war I don't Show us the voting machine. Show us the ballots. Show us that this was a fair way. What does that mean? Show us the voting machines. We'll never accept another vote again ever These dumb mother fuckers don't realize that you are capable as a us citizen of auditing your own county's results Like, you know that, right? But you're too lazy. You just want to believe what oan and uh newsmax and Donald Trump tells you And they always, you know, they'll agitate for a civil war and then they'll say, oh, well, I don't want that Yeah, you do that's what you're agitating for You've shown that you have the capacity as a movement a quote unquote movement to get violent and that's what you want If you think that, uh, you know, a civil war would lead to Donald Trump remaining in power That's exactly what you would opt for. You've all proven yourself. You've shown your cards Now this video is from the same reporter This is on the day where the uh, pro-trump mob stormed the u.s. Capitol Uh, their responses here when he asked them basic questions about if they're proud of what they did Is uh, it should be embarrassing, but they have no shame. Are you proud of what happened here today? Uh, I'm absolutely uh stand behind 100 what happened here today 1000 percent Things terrible how this election was stolen and I had to come here and do my patriotic duty One aspect that um, a lot of folks probably didn't even think about I hadn't either is How much uh, that event is going to be like a covet super spreader and uh, it's These folks are gonna be sick because none of them were wearing masks or very few of them were wearing masks It's just they think that they are doing the patriotic thing You know, if you believe a democracy is at stake and the election was stolen You try to stop that from happening. So they've been, you know, uh duped by donald trump at oan and and whatnot And so these right wing, uh media outlets and puddots, you know, charlie kirk dav rubin all these folks They bear a lot of the blame for this behavior now, of course individual responsibility Is something that's important like they have to be more responsible consumers of media But having said that though, like when you work people into a frenzy to that extent I think that you you share a lot of the blame Are you guys just left the capital grounds? Yep. Are you proud of the scene that that's played out here today? I'm not proud of it. I'm humbled by it and that I'm excited that for 1776 that we the people movement is moving forward Yeah, it's sad. It's sad that it has to happen. Are you proud of what happened here today? I'm proud that the patreus came out today To show their support for our president because he is donald trump is our president I mean, but what does this achieve? It's just shocking how many people will like admit That they uh trespassed they like straight up went in there committed a crime Felonies they'll go on camera the dude with the the horns In the last video that we saw he was actually interviewed. He gave like his first name last name spelled it out I mean these folks are basically like doxing themselves So they have absolutely no concern whatsoever that they're going to be prosecuted when the FBI is actually looking to prosecute some of them It's just you think that they would have at least Some buy into the world that they live in like the things that they can see around them But to them it's just whatever they want to believe. I mean like imagine Not living in the real world like this where if something is inconvenient that you don't like you just reject it I mean, I am not a joe biden supporter. I supported bernie sanders unequivocally like To make myself feel better. I guess I could just like pretend like bernie sanders is the president but what good is that going to do like Accepting reality is an important part of life because if you don't accept reality you can't function In reality in society and we have so many folks who just who don't accept basic reality and this is really bad Wrong you're literally rejecting now what you like See in front of your face You're just fucking stupid god damn. Look at that smug fucking look on her face Wrong like what a fucking moron you are lady jesus christ these fucking people Is this really a way that a president should be behaving absolutely? Yes Okay, this lady right here with like how animated she is like donald trump Could literally like Spread his ass cheeks and shit down her throat and tell her it's chocolate and she would believe it Like that's how far gone she is like she has overdosed on the kool-aid and she's fucking like She's off her rocker like god damn For to have them cheat and steal from us constantly We're over it. No and we're peaceful And yeah, we're peaceful. We're not like we will not be silenced though Is this an appropriate way you're not like who and Tifa losing an election Absolutely, we have to as american patriots. We have to do what we can to take back this country Oh, fuck off. Okay. One last video. This is not of Him talking to people he is uh, basically sharing his insight this dude has uh been to far too many Trump rallies and he's basically explaining what he sees and his conclusion is pretty obvious But nonetheless, I think it's still really important. Uh, he explains who the culprits are He just sees all these folks regurgitating the same exact things he hears from oan Which regurgitates what trump says That's right. Yes, sarin. I mean after years of enabling Hate speech and conspiracy theories these social media companies which have made billions of dollars off all of this And who are complicit? To be honest complicit in a lot of what we saw the violence we saw on the streets of washington yesterday Finally took some unprecedented steps to stop trump's nonsense They have never ever taken the action that they took yesterday twitter as you mentioned suspending Trump from tweeting for 12 hours. We have never seen that action before Of course, it's all a bit too little too late And you know what was really striking yesterday erin was as we were on the ground and with those Trump supporters and and members of that mob Everybody was just repeating the same thing. They were repeating the conspiracy theories that they read on facebook That they hear on oan or on certain segments on fox news And they were repeating the conspiracy theorists that the conspiracy theories that trump has been pushing from his twitter and facebook and youtube accounts For years and yesterday as as as supporters were finally leaving the capital after breaking in I asked some of them if they were proud of what had happened here yesterday. Have a listen Are you proud of what happened here today? Absolutely. I think we should have gone absolutely Okay, so he's just gonna play clips from what we just watched Yeah, I think everything he's saying is right. Um, you know, these uh, these social media companies They've basically become right-wing echo chambers and so much misinformation spreads On on facebook like if you have anyone in your family who is like over the age Of 70 on facebook, you know, they they see a meme and they mistake it for news I've had like my crazy aunts share these types of pro trump memes and I've removed them from my feed because I don't Want to see that bullshit, but like you you'd think that at a time when we have Seemingly infinite knowledge at our fingertips. We all have smartphones. Uh, we're dumber than ever Because we don't seek out new information. We don't challenge ourselves. We don't actually want new knowledge We just find whatever weird echo chamber exists online that will uh confirm our existing biases And we get dumber as a result like this what we're seeing here. This is like A virus. This is brain rot. Like how do we Deprogram all of these people there. There's too many like I don't know what to do I don't know what it's going to take. How do we convince these people to come back to reality and live in reality I know we can't wait until the next generation comes to power because by then climate change will have already Like devoured, you know portions of the world So I just I don't know there's this urgency, but also really The obstacles seem insurmountable, you know how we go forward as a country. I just don't know the trajectory that we're on is very very bad So we have to find a way to take the folks who are Presumably too far gone And make them see the light and this is a project that I wouldn't even know where to begin I don't even know where to begin Because they don't think that it's them, you know, who's the problem They think it's us who's the problem and if we just came to their side then the country would be unified when what they're asking for is like Crazy shit. They want Trump to just be like a dictator. Uh, they want to uh, let the republicans do whatever You know deregulate industries and we already have you know a neoliberal party in the democrats So we don't need to turn that up to a 500 with republicans. I just I don't know like this is a really troubling time in in american history and um, if we can overcome this as a society Then I'll feel a lot more optimistic about our future But when you have this many people who don't believe in basic reality reject what they see in front of their eyes It's just It's sad. It's sad. It's demoralizing and the task ahead of us at trying to fix this country is absolutely daunting Um, yeah, so I will leave that there. Uh, I feel like these videos crushed my soul But I mean how could you not feel demoralized at at the time, you know America's in such a bad spot Subscribe if you like this video folks Mike's tremendous And he's doing a really really good job Many people are telling me about how wonderful the humanist report is Bigly
