3:24 Galen being incredibly professional as a man tells him to his face (probably unknowingly) that he doesn't like LGBTQ issues.
I think 4:40 is more impressive. Dudes voting for someone that will ban his existence.
Y’all cannot continue to be shocked that Christians and other Abrahamics are homophobic.
To them, via the Quran or Bible, sexual sin is immoral. Religion is the sole thing getting many people through life, they’re not giving that up for butt sex.
Galen is honestly a great listener, which makes him an A-star interviewer in letting people answer for themselves.
We do need more of these interviews. I imagine most of us who pay close attention to politics are still mindboggled by voters who flip from Biden 2020 to Trump 2024, so anything that helps us understand this demographic is valuable.
I don’t think it is mind boggling at all. People blame the current president for any perceived economic downturn, and conservative media has pushed the “Bidenflation” message hard for the past 3 years. It makes total sense why an uninformed voter with right-leaning tendencies would have voted for Biden in 2020 because of the disastrous Trump response to Covid, but intend to vote for Trump in 2024 because of perceived economic woes (along with all of the culture war bs).
Is it really tough to understand not liking the endless war machine, open borders, inflation etc? Not to mention the undeniable fact that Biden is struggling to finish this term never mind a second, with the least popular vice president since polling began as his running mate?
Didn't realize Galen had arms and legs, I thought he was statistics genie that lived in a little box on my screen.
2:50 It still amazes me how many Republican voters believe "hard work" is somehow the purview of the conservative. The most productive areas of the country are cities which are almost exclusively governed by Democrats, and where a majority of voters are Democrats. Who is "working hard" here, exactly?
It's an ego problem, and also a survivorship bias problem. We measure the people who worked hard and got far in life, but we don't measure the people who work hard and don't get as far in life. These people assume it must be that they didn't work hard enough, when they may have worked harder and smarter than them, but had some amount of bad luck or bad timing. It's an ego problem, these people want everyone to kiss their feet and stroke their ego. I'm not saying hard work doesn't matter, I'm just saying its far from a univariable equation. There are far more inputs to success, than hard work, but these people are unwilling to consider anything other than their self serving perspectives.
Republican investments in messaging over the past few decades, obviously. It paid off, big time, for a party that scarcely has any policies.
Different definitions of hard work. IT plays a bigger part in the economy. Jobs that aren’t as labor intensive but add a lot of value in profits should still be considered a type of work. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.
Same with "families". Republicans want to cut school budgets, childcare funding, tax deductibles/credits for dependents, etc. and somehow they're the party of families? How the fuck does that work?
"Hard work" = manual labor.
The most recent Republican president didn’t reject Reagan, in fact, I think Reagan would’ve loved trump. They’re the same time of ghoul
President Hollywierd was a Goniff. He had people skills and was a good enough actor to star in propaganda.
Diversity is a powerhouse of our United States.
Reagan was awful, but he also gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, so I think they wouldn't have liked each other.
This dude has HUGE Disney child-actor vibes
Great job Galen. I appreciate you really jumping out of your comfort zone for this one :)
Good segment, thanks for making it.
Always surprised to hear people say they want to flip from Biden to Trump. Its like...why did you switch the first time? He's only gotten more toxic. Short term memory? Ignoring politics?
Let's hope not.
lol who produced this segment? Lots of weird shots and cuts.
Trump is to Reagan as Seth Rogen is to Usain Bolt.
Galen, my boy, fix that posture, you have cross tab neck syndrome
People did call him Red Ronnie because communism, which neoliberalism is.
Galen is a snack
This video just shows me one more reason on why I should raze the suburbs to the ground when I am president.
They absolutely could, but not with Trump
You never want to completely give up anywhere, but, aside from a few Red holdouts, California has turned into the People's Republican Of Californiastan.
California, for the first time ever, lost Congressional sets as a result of the 2020 Census. People are fleeing the state's Progressive policies. But, sadly for their destination states, many are bringing their failed Progressive politics with them. I've never understood that: if they failed >therehere
Look at Texas and the last president elections the margins that democrats are cutting into . I predict it will become a purple state in the next decade. That should really scare republicans because the rural areas isn’t growing in population but the citing suburban areas are increasing voting blue.
Would you say the same thing to people moving from Mississippi or Louisiana?
It's the lgbtq thing for children that has me looking at Republicans.
You ain't teaching my 5 yo alternative sexual lifestyles.
Who is teaching your 5yr old about sex?😊
@@glennwilliams2950 k-12 sex ed, gender affirming care for children. It's all the trans activists talk about on TikTok.
@@bigbadbordersso not in tiktok so can't speak to that but it's kind of looking saying ask climate activists talk about is climate change. It's kind of in the concept of being an activist.
I'm personally an ally to the lgbtq community but I understand you wanting to control the content your children see. My suggestions would be to set up content controls to block domains such as tiktok at home using services such as openDNS or your settings built into your router.
They being said, it's not going to hurt them to learn about these eventually I'd keep an open mind. Diversity makes the world interesting and fun. Who wants to be in a world where we're all the same?
@@benhillard919 Diversity is fine, but lgbtq is specifically about sexual preference, and young children don't need to be exposed to that. I put lgbtq in the same category as bestiality and necrophilia. You can't help what turns you on, but you can control what you do with it.
@@benhillard919 with that mindset Pedophilia is diverse so according to your logic we should accept pedophillia as a sexuality since they are a "oppressed minority” according to the left wing mindset.
The fact you used the term Muslim ban says everything about Fivethirtyeight 😂
Yeah that’s true, they never mention that Trump ONLY called to stop all Muslims from entering country UNTIL he found out what was going on
Didnt Trump himself call it a Muslim ban when he announced it in 2015?
Anybody but DEMENTIA Biden 2024!
Anybody but Demented Donald 2024! (literally thinks he the rightful president)
Why do you say that? Just curious.
@@krakken- He’s not mentally and cognitively fit to be president of this country anymore. We can argue that stance all day with Trump also but compared to Biden, Trump is MUCH more mentally fit and independents and frankly the majority of this country as a whole agree with my statement as we’ve seen in recent polling throughout the past months and it’s only going to get worse for Biden going forward.
@@RedPolitics1776 Much more mentally fit?!? In the past week alone he has confused George W. Bush with his brother Jeb and thinks he beat Obama in 2016. Not to mention he can't stop confessing to crimes during interviews.
@@krakken- Girl, you’re arguing with a Neo Nazi.
