I would say he is not really a leader because he really doesn't understand so many of the people he has been manipulating or trying to manipulate ; much of it stems from the fact that he has never had a real job working for anyone else in his life.

He doesn't care to recognize people's true worth and so it is that he is such a buffoon : he may be being truthful (what a rare occurrence) when he says he didn't mean to incite a riot or maybe he backed out of what was about to go down ; because he knew it wouldn't succeed BUT I'd like to think of it more in terms of maybe if someone else comes along who inspires people to engage in a "greater" (might wanna be careful with that terminology???) activism they'll have that "greater" sense of appreciation for what more really , truly better serves the people engaged in that movement AND reward them more in kind and we'll know a much more positive outcome ; the kind of true leadership which is a blessing (not a curse) : hope should carry-on !?¿!?!
Trump has no idea of his effect on people. His High Conflict Personality disorder makes it impossible for him to walk in someone else’s shoes. At the same time he only takes risks where he is sure he won’t be immediately harmed. To walk to the Capitol with a mob would be dangerous. He chose to go to the White House and watch people suffer. He really gets off on that. It is what sociopaths do.
I believe Joe Biden was the ONLY person who could defeat Trump. She certainly did empower the people to vote. Not only am I thankful for Stacey, but Jim Clyburn too. He was the coach and she was the quarterback. God bless both of them. He was the coach who gave the motivational pregame speech, and she was the quarterback who marched them down the field score our big win.

Maybe so, but more likely held or "arrested" as they would have termed it.

How about we keep calling sedition sedition, insurrection insurrection and treason treason. These are distinct things, and keeping them distinct from each others helps to communicate clearly. It was Trumpublicans who for four years kept meddling up language and always reaching for the most emotionally charged term. Let's not copy that ****!
@EpyonX Memories of a teenage me want to agree emotionally with you. That greyhaired cynic that took over my personality some times in the past warns: Infuriating as it is, when your opponents make up **** and ignore the basic rules of logic, it is even worse if your allies do it, as that will undermine the very position you try so hard to uphold.
@EpyonX I am afraid I got no easy fit-all Grande Strategy advice either, but lowering ourselves to their level would be admitting defeat. Long-term their own cognitive dissonance plays against them. Even if they value loyalty over truth, upholding a lie is an ever-increasing drain of ressources, as facts have an unavoidable tendency to reassert themselves. The attempt to better understand ourselves and our world is frustrating, but in the end more likely to succeed than just denying reality to preserve a comforting self-image.
@EpyonX I will argue that abandoning truth ourselves won't change anything to the better, for anyone. Marginalized people do not save themselves by peddling away their dignity first, because their killers won't trade fairly anyways. I am not telling anyone to embrace toxic people, just that being consistent in calling a spade a spade has its long-term advantages. At least I hope so. Should I be wrong, then I will rather die lonely on MY hill than to consciously agree with liars.
The GOP needs to become the party of accountability. Saying it doesn't mean it's true with the republicans. Trump was a disaster. The GOP kept him there for 4 years. They need to own this crisis.
With respect, no. The GOP needs to actually expel all the white supremacists. It cannot be done by the usual historical spectacle of serving up a few scapegoats that couldn't be saved anyway, while the rest lay low for a while. Altering their talking points to project accountability, serving up scapegoats, all the usual superficial media trappings, the stuff that historically has been done to become "accountable", will not stop this from happening again. Because the people that have to be thrown out are the current LEADERSHIP of the GOP, the thing that actually needs to be done, will not be done. The only thing the GOP actually needs to do, will not be done. This will happen again.
I honestly think that's the only way back to any semblance of respect and relevance for the Republican Party. Otherwise, they're little more than the party of tinfoil hats and idiots and their newsletter becomes Mad Magazine.

We appreciate all you do, Beau! Your channel has been a calm port of reason in the storm of political chaos our country has been battered by for the past 4 years.
It’s been wel over 15 years since this shitshow, this political polarisation has been occurring. People still stand by quietly by the point that they will divide and conquer, except they sow so much division that we may fear of and if there’s anything they want to rule over. Scorched earth is a tried and tested method too. Experiences from the past give no guarantees for the future.
The fact that he wasn't removed to a safe location tells you every single thing you need to know about the entire situation, and you are 1000% correct, Beau, if he had shown up ... *shudders*

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought about that alternate scenario. I’m also EXTREMELY grateful that Trump’s absolute distain for his cult members (you know, poor people) kept him from doing what a true leader would know would work. I’m also glad a bright light was shone on some of the GOP leaders so people can keep an eye on them.
His disdain and his expectation for other people to do all the work. He is a prime example of Affluenza. People who have never had to do anything in their lives, been catered to, coddled and given whatever they ask for because they come from a wealthy family. Not even necessarily someone with money, but who is in a family with wealth and connections so that people defer to them. It also helped that he never actually really wanted the responsibility of being President. His ego and his grift just demanded that he never back down, never admitted when he was wrong or that he lost. His goal as far as I can tell was not to actually overthrow the government. But convince people to keep giving him money, and to throw a big spectacle in his name to feed his narcissist personality and need for attention.

We saw the end result of January 6, 2021; now we witness the justification for a rush to judgement. 🔥🐄💉
Exactly. We were close in terms of possible outcomes but I believe that Trump fundamentally lacks the balls to go all in on anything. That’s the only reason why things aren’t nearly as bad as they could’ve been. It’s insanely lucky we even have a second chance because the next guy isn’t going to hesitate like that

@@tomtom7955 Disagree. I understand what you're getting at and yes, there is a subset of the ignorant who will hold him up as a martyr regardless. The issue is one of precedent.

This NEEDS to happen for the benefit of future-America, assuming that we still exist.
@@57Strudel lol , they will never go after their own though and that's the biggest issue not Trump. There is a whole host of politicians that should be in prison but they aren't and never will be.

If you want someone to blame blame legacy and social media for feeding us utter bias BS for 5 years. If you convict Trump you have to go after all the Dems that encouraged antifa and blm and that's not gonna happen, if it did it would be the worst thing to happen to freedom of speech in my lifetime. They want libertarians to be considered domestic terrorist, my back's against the wall but I'm won't be silenced, we need more freedom not less. I'd throw Trump to the wolves if it meant actually enforcing laws on politicians but they only want to enforce it on people they don't like, otherwise creepy joe would never have been a candidate .
"Unity" and "bipartisanship" mean the same thing they've always meant: the Republican Party gets 100% of what it wants 100% of the time, regardless of whether a majority of the American people support it, they have the political capital in congress to get it, or it's even legal.
The Democrats need to change that to "When they go low, we kick them." Metaphorically speaking. Republicans don't value cooperation, they ONLY value winning.

History has plenty of examples: Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Amin, Gaddafi, Lenin, etc. Those guys were leaders with charisma, experience, and brainpower. They also had the tactical skills to use the government/military resources as needed. Diaper Don had none of those qualities; he just has a huge ego. Same with Bolsonaro in Brazil.
Remember the Red Queen hypothesis and how close we came to disaster. It can happen again, with a much different outcome. Complacency is not a friend of democracy.
After sifting through all the evidence and doing all the investigations and all the arrests have been made they're absolutely should be trials. Those employed by the government that planned this the death penalty should not be left off the table and for those not employed by the government life in prison should definitely not be off the table. These trials should be closed not open to the public and should happen swiftly if we want to save our republic.

I don't think so. If this would have worked it would be military, police, militias & all the others ready to slaughter anyone who resisted the fascist dictatorship. After one or 2 of those slaughters people would do as told
He would never have joined them.. he would have to get down and wallow in the dirty trenches with them.. what a head game him looking out the window.. his kids dancing.. while watching his servants do his dirty job.. He knew exactly what he was saying and doing.. he knew his words would be followed.. getting someone to do something insane, illegal, corrupt, dirty work.. all rallying around the king.. he showed them he was never with them nor did he have any intentions of being with them this is all about a narcissistic, crazy, evil person willing to sell the kool aid to anyone who will listen to him.. send him money.. just like a cult.. He and anyone remotely connected to his rampage and killing needs to be held accountable to the letter of the law.. Swift and just actions need we NOT forget..
So well said, Beau! Felt like I was holding my breath for 2 weeks up to the inauguration, hoping that he wouldn't realize how close he came and try again!
True, which is just sad to think but very true. It's a great message and honestly it should be that way, but in the end, you cannot make everyone happy.
Yeah but it’s the State that divides the underclasses to keep them indoctrinated with propaganda so that they are not united and the ruling elite maintains wealth, power, and social status. They have social progressives and conservatives against each other, when they should be united against those in power, and under true liberty be able to freely associate with the type of social groups they want. I’m socially progressive but I’m not against social conservatism, I’m against either progressives or conservatives trying to coerce their morality and social views via legislation and authority. We should all be free to associate with our preferences.
But people can stop twisting the knife at every opportunity too. People in prominent positions have been using divisive language and getting pats on the back for it.

We will get through this,". Thank you.
I would say the missing element this time was he didn't have the military like he thought he had them. If there is a future Trump that is a leader and they are able to get the military or a portion of it then yes watch out.
Holy shit! I never thought about what could’ve happened if he’d have joined them. That’s damn scary!! The ONLY way we can really move ahead is to hold those at the top responsible.

Anyway, as to content: As someone who is keenly aware of the nature of the unexpected, it takes very little for the improbable to become the possible, and then reality. Just a few small choices can change the world, more so when you give a person power. The only true threat to the US is itself. No-one can invade you at this time, you are almost assured of resources, the land is wide open and beautiful. Only Americans can destroy America. So pray for accountability and act with all your might, or you will become a hell of your own creation, and the angels will weep for you. Because the only people that can change America will be the Americans who created that hell.
They then would have to admit there is a problem... Only if saner minds hold sway will America pull itself from the brink, and I'm waiting to see those saner minds take control from the self-serving goons, who got high on their own supply. When mindless arrogance meets narcissism, nothing can go well. And the leadership of the GOP were mindlessly arrogant to assume they could control someone as toxic as Trump. They thought he could be limited to just doing his reality star thing, turn up as head of state when required, and then retreat to the golf course while the minders they provided him got on with the real work. Donald Trump has never had anyone tell him no, and like it. So what they wanted was never going to happen. So, when he started to dismantle what Obama had good reason to put in place, their mindless arrogance cheered him on. They were so wrapped up in the Two Tribes mentality, they never thought to think whether it was the right thing to do. So great was their pettiness and callousness that they allowed him to close down the government, and inflict pain and suffering on innocent civil servants by withholding their pay just to score points over the Democrats. Seeing a diabetic civil servant on TV telling a journalist that she was rationing her insulin because she did not have the money to buy more convinced me the lunatics had taken over the asylum. Where were the saner minds then? Until those who put their country first, before party hold power in the GOP, I would not retire my bug out bag just yet.

Unsinkable? You never call out Mother Nature like that. I hope the Japanese learned that with the term earthquake proof when referring to their new high speed train rails. Kobe 1995. You can say something is earthquake resistant but never earthquake proof. That's a "hold my beer" moment for Mom.
We came very, very, VERY close to watching in horror as our lawmakers were summarily executed on livestream
Maybe so, but more likely held or "arrested" as they would have termed it. Then show trials within days and OAN or Tucker would be praising the "restraint" shown by the president as he led the patriots in doing what needed to be done to save America.

Brilliant observation.
You are right, everyone in Congress who promoted this, should be removed and prosecuted for treason
I don't think treason applies here. Sedition is a more apt term.
How about we keep calling sedition sedition, insurrection insurrection and treason treason. These are distinct things, and keeping them distinct from each others helps to communicate clearly. It was Trumpublicans who for four years kept meddling up language and always reaching for the most emotionally charged term. Let's not copy that ****!
@EpyonX Memories of a teenage me want to agree emotionally with you. That greyhaired cynic that took over my personality some times in the past warns: Infuriating as it is, when your opponents make up **** and ignore the basic rules of logic, it is even worse if your allies do it, as that will undermine the very position you try so hard to uphold.
@EpyonX I am afraid I got no easy fit-all Grande Strategy advice either, but lowering ourselves to their level would be admitting defeat.
Long-term their own cognitive dissonance plays against them. Even if they value loyalty over truth, upholding a lie is an ever-increasing drain of ressources, as facts have an unavoidable tendency to reassert themselves.
The attempt to better understand ourselves and our world is frustrating, but in the end more likely to succeed than just denying reality to preserve a comforting self-image.
@EpyonX I will argue that abandoning truth ourselves won't change anything to the better, for anyone. Marginalized people do not save themselves by peddling away their dignity first, because their killers won't trade fairly anyways.
I am not telling anyone to embrace toxic people, just that being consistent in calling a spade a spade has its long-term advantages.
At least I hope so. Should I be wrong, then I will rather die lonely on MY hill than to consciously agree with liars.
The GOP needs to become the party of accountability. Saying it doesn't mean it's true with the republicans. Trump was a disaster. The GOP kept him there for 4 years. They need to own this crisis.
I agree, but no real penalties will be applied. What would a censure accomplish? Would you lose your seat in the Senate or House?
i want them to keep fucking up so stop giving them advice! lol ;)
No. The Grand Old Party is a criminal enterprise and needs to shut down.
With respect, no. The GOP needs to actually expel all the white supremacists. It cannot be done by the usual historical spectacle of serving up a few scapegoats that couldn't be saved anyway, while the rest lay low for a while.
Altering their talking points to project accountability, serving up scapegoats, all the usual superficial media trappings, the stuff that historically has been done to become "accountable", will not stop this from happening again. Because the people that have to be thrown out are the current LEADERSHIP of the GOP, the thing that actually needs to be done, will not be done. The only thing the GOP actually needs to do, will not be done. This will happen again.
I honestly think that's the only way back to any semblance of respect and relevance for the Republican Party. Otherwise, they're little more than the party of tinfoil hats and idiots and their newsletter becomes Mad Magazine.

It’s been wel over 15 years since this shitshow, this political polarisation has been occurring. People still stand by quietly by the point that they will divide and conquer, except they sow so much division that we may fear of and if there’s anything they want to rule over. Scorched earth is a tried and tested method too. Experiences from the past give no guarantees for the future.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought about that alternate scenario. I’m also EXTREMELY grateful that Trump’s absolute distain for his cult members (you know, poor people) kept him from doing what a true leader would know would work. I’m also glad a bright light was shone on some of the GOP leaders so people can keep an eye on them.
His disdain and his expectation for other people to do all the work. He is a prime example of Affluenza. People who have never had to do anything in their lives, been catered to, coddled and given whatever they ask for because they come from a wealthy family. Not even necessarily someone with money, but who is in a family with wealth and connections so that people defer to them. It also helped that he never actually really wanted the responsibility of being President. His ego and his grift just demanded that he never back down, never admitted when he was wrong or that he lost. His goal as far as I can tell was not to actually overthrow the government. But convince people to keep giving him money, and to throw a big spectacle in his name to feed his narcissist personality and need for attention.
The rioters weren't poor, but they were still contemptible to him.

Unity for unity's sake (or for "harmony"), is just fascsim.
A unified group willing to accept censorship of the opposition is the slow path to Fascism run by autocrats. It begins with great hope, justification, and technology, but ends up as an unruly mob justifying everything to avoid accountability. We saw the end result of January 6, 2021; now we witness the justification for a rush to judgement. 🔥🐄💉
He wouldn’t and couldn’t have done that cause at heart he’s a coward.
Nah, his doctor likely informed him that his bone spurs were acting up, again. /s
He might have messed up his expensive suit.
Straight pussy! Wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight! He is weak and we are strong! We must unite
Exactly. We were close in terms of possible outcomes but I believe that Trump fundamentally lacks the balls to go all in on anything. That’s the only reason why things aren’t nearly as bad as they could’ve been. It’s insanely lucky we even have a second chance because the next guy isn’t going to hesitate like that
Remember, Hitler only got a slap on the wirst after the Beer Hall Putsch.
I don't think I have to explain what happened a few years down the road.
yup that would be something to learn in history class, but there must be teachers who apply critical thinking supervising the learn process. this way even mein kampf becomes an informative book

@@tomtom7955 Disagree. I understand what you're getting at and yes, there is a subset of the ignorant who will hold him up as a martyr regardless. The issue is one of precedent. If there is no accountability, the Supreme Court of years down the road will have nothing solid upon which to render a decision that nobody is above the law. This NEEDS to happen for the benefit of future-America, assuming that we still exist.
@@57Strudel lol , they will never go after their own though and that's the biggest issue not Trump. There is a whole host of politicians that should be in prison but they aren't and never will be.

If you want someone to blame blame legacy and social media for feeding us utter bias BS for 5 years. If you convict Trump you have to go after all the Dems that encouraged antifa and blm and that's not gonna happen, if it did it would be the worst thing to happen to freedom of speech in my lifetime. They want libertarians to be considered domestic terrorist, my back's against the wall but I'm won't be silenced, we need more freedom not less. I'd throw Trump to the wolves if it meant actually enforcing laws on politicians but they only want to enforce it on people they don't like, otherwise creepy joe would never have been a candidate .

"Unity" and "bipartisanship" mean the same thing they've always meant: the Republican Party gets 100% of what it wants 100% of the time, regardless of whether a majority of the American people support it, they have the political capital in congress to get it, or it's even legal.
The Democrats need to change that to "When they go low, we kick them."
Metaphorically speaking. Republicans don't value cooperation, they ONLY value winning.
They have the wealthiest donors, hence their feeling of being entitled to support such a horrendous act....without fear of consequences.
Unity only happens where there is accountability.

“Wayyy too close for comfort”. You aint lying bro.
History has plenty of examples: Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Amin, Gaddafi, Lenin, etc. Those guys were leaders with charisma, experience, and brainpower. They also had the tactical skills to use the government/military resources as needed. Diaper Don had none of those qualities; he just has a huge ego. Same with Bolsonaro in Brazil.
You are right. I just finished watching "An Impossible Peace" on Amazon and the many similarities are chilling.
Remember the Red Queen hypothesis and how close we came to disaster. It can happen again, with a much different outcome. Complacency is not a friend of democracy.
There can be no healing until there is accountability. No more discussion!
You have to clean the poison from the wound before the wound can heal.

Well, at least I smiled all day yesterday. It certainly felt good to get swept up in the delightful celebration and just let loose for a day.
After sifting through all the evidence and doing all the investigations and all the arrests have been made they're absolutely should be trials. Those employed by the government that planned this the death penalty should not be left off the table and for those not employed by the government life in prison should definitely not be off the table. These trials should be closed not open to the public and should happen swiftly if we want to save our republic.

I'm all for accountability.
So well said, Beau! Felt like I was holding my breath for 2 weeks up to the inauguration, hoping that he wouldn't realize how close he came and try again!
You are absolutely correct, sir. What just happened came too damn close. We are EXTREMELY lucky.
You cannot force people who can't stand each other to be united. True unity must be voluntary, not coerced/forced.
True, which is just sad to think but very true. It's a great message and honestly it should be that way, but in the end, you cannot make everyone happy.
Yeah but it’s the State that divides the underclasses to keep them indoctrinated with propaganda so that they are not united and the ruling elite maintains wealth, power, and social status. They have social progressives and conservatives against each other, when they should be united against those in power, and under true liberty be able to freely associate with the type of social groups they want. I’m socially progressive but I’m not against social conservatism, I’m against either progressives or conservatives trying to coerce their morality and social views via legislation and authority. We should all be free to associate with our preferences.
But people can stop twisting the knife at every opportunity too. People in prominent positions have been using divisive language and getting pats on the back for it.

Anyway, as to content: As someone who is keenly aware of the nature of the unexpected, it takes very little for the improbable to become the possible, and then reality. Just a few small choices can change the world, more so when you give a person power.
The only true threat to the US is itself. No-one can invade you at this time, you are almost assured of resources, the land is wide open and beautiful. Only Americans can destroy America. So pray for accountability and act with all your might, or you will become a hell of your own creation, and the angels will weep for you.
Because the only people that can change America will be the Americans who created that hell.
They then would have to admit there is a problem... Only if saner minds hold sway will America pull itself from the brink, and I'm waiting to see those saner minds take control from the self-serving goons, who got high on their own supply. When mindless arrogance meets narcissism, nothing can go well. And the leadership of the GOP were mindlessly arrogant to assume they could control someone as toxic as Trump. They thought he could be limited to just doing his reality star thing, turn up as head of state when required, and then retreat to the golf course while the minders they provided him got on with the real work. Donald Trump has never had anyone tell him no, and like it. So what they wanted was never going to happen. So, when he started to dismantle what Obama had good reason to put in place, their mindless arrogance cheered him on. They were so wrapped up in the Two Tribes mentality, they never thought to think whether it was the right thing to do. So great was their pettiness and callousness that they allowed him to close down the government, and inflict pain and suffering on innocent civil servants by withholding their pay just to score points over the Democrats. Seeing a diabetic civil servant on TV telling a journalist that she was rationing her insulin because she did not have the money to buy more convinced me the lunatics had taken over the asylum. Where were the saner minds then? Until those who put their country first, before party hold power in the GOP, I would not retire my bug out bag just yet.
