Hello hello, Loners. In this video, we looked at the reactions of Germans to the election of Donald Trump. It is a little crazy to think about because he could possibly become our president again next year. We hope you enjoy our content and if you do please make sure to like and subscribe! Thank you all :)
One main issue American politics has is that you have literally legalized political bribery, in most countries all donations must be registered and giving rewards for donations is 100% illegal
The comment about something happening in Sweden last night was based on a tweet by Trump, where he claimed something had happened in Sweden last night and Swedes responded by saying they had no idea what he meant.
there was also another tweet where Trump wrote about Fuinns cleaning the forest in the context of firefighters in the US, and the Finns responded by posting pictures of themselves "vacuuming" the forest.
I guess you could try democracy, but that requires a well-informed electorate, so don't get your hopes up.
6:10 I think the word you are looking for is democracy. And yes, the US is surprisingly undemocratic for a democratic country
I am Canadìan so Trump being President in the United States doesn't bother me. He still makes me physically ill every time he makes a speech or just talks.❗
As it should to every decent person.
@@tvojemankaI think I'm a decent person and I like Trump. Good thing your opinion means nothing.
@@ladev91 maybe what you think isn't a great tell, if you are or not. Most likely not as he's literally a fascist, only way you can be a good person and support Trump, is only if you're really really stupid and don't realize his agenda.
TDS is real with you freaks.
To me, Canadians seem more European than American, is there something to that?
17:45 Biden ran on the most progressive platform any president in the history of the US ever ran on. Biden did and does help the progressive cause. I'm not saying he is perfect but you have to take what you can get. Change needs time.
Completely agree. Bothsideism always helps the worst candidate. By saying Biden is same as Trump they are ironically helping Trump.
The problem is there is a point at which progressives stop voting for 'least worse' and actually start wanting good. For example personally supporting obvious genocide is a red line. I could not vote for Biden and I cannot vote for his UK counterpart
@@chrispilkington8662 two questions:
1. how does Biden "support genocide"?
2. So what is your solution then? Voting for Trump because you believe a far-right government will somehow shift the Overton window to the left? Or not vote at all, even if Trump overtakes Biden in the polls? If there was a serious possibility that Biden would lose to Trump, do you just do nothing, stand by and let it happen?
@@faketheo3432 1) Biden is actively supplying weapons to a state that is using them to commit war crimes against a civilian population when by cutting off the arms he could stop the 'war' overnight, let alone the openly genocidal (called such by most genocide scholars) rhetoric from their political leaders...
2) I would not a could not vote for trump, I would spoil my ballot. Supporting genocide and war crimes is a red line. At some point lesser of two evils is still fucking evil
The free world's sympathy for US citizens was good for one Trump term only.
No we know in Ireland Trump hadn't a clue what he ws doing until his head grew and he saw his cult develop-and now he is DESPERATE for them to support him
I didn't vote for him the first time. I didn't vote for him the second time. I will never vote for him. The same can be said about my closest friends and relatives. We want to eliminate the electoral college. We are in no way responsible for tRump getting elected. Remember, be did not get the popular vote
You are so right! Do you know the international satire series “America first Germany* second”? *just an example, from Royal magazine. The Netherlands started😂
The problem is, among other things, that anyone who wants to become President of the USA has to have a lot of money. And since only millionaires, i.e. capitalists, manage to become president, their politics look like this: power and money!
One of the biggest reasons why the Dutch are speaking pretty well English, is because we have almost everything subtitled. Nothing is dubbed, only some movies and cartoons for toddlers and small kids, there for we hear everything in the original language and slang from a very young age, plus we can read what it means! 🤷🏻♂️✌🏼
In Germany, no citizen has to register to vote; prison inmates also have the same right to vote. Everyone has 2 votes, one for the party in the Bundestag / state parliament, and one for a candidate in the constituency. Party advertising and election campaigns are regulated. Every valid vote counts.
US is a business company with too much weapons.
LOL at the subtitle dilemma. We never get content dubbed, it's always subtitled. I'm so used to subtitles dubbing irks me it feels so unnatural😄. Over the years I've learned the basics of so many languages the subtitles in most European content I watch get supported by the original sound, so the need to constantly read has lessened. Lately though, I've been watching a lot of Asian shows and getting frustrated over having to concentrate way more than I'm used to, so I can relate.
In Australia it’s straightforward. Each party has a leader. Each party offers candidates for election. People vote for local candidates. Whichever party has the most seats in the House of Representatives becomes the government and that party’s leader becomes prime minister.
The Senate is different, slightly more complicated but each election half the Senate is up for re-election. Senators serve six years. After that they go for reelection or retire. These half senate elections result in a slower turnover of senate majorities and have a hopefully good damping effect on legislation.
Also, everyone has to vote (or at least turn up and get their name crossed off) and our elections are held on Saturdays.
With multiple parties you must have preferential counting. So whoever comes last gets their votes reallocated. Rinse repeat until two are left. Over 50% wins.
Some of the registered parties are wild - the Loony Left Party, the Marijuana Party, Animal Liberation Party, Hunters and Fisherman’s Party and more.
I wonder if America really want Donald Trump to be the person that leads America in times of uncertain and were a world war easy can happen if you are not diplomatic. There is so much going on over the whole world and Donald Trump is going to be the person who make choices for America in such times. That is scary as hell.
Here in the Netherlands we have a system that every vote counts. This means that we have 10 political in our parliament and how many seats a party has in parliament depends on the vote they get with the elections. This also means that no party has the majority and therefore we always have a government based on a coalition in parliament. I think this is better than the elector college because every voter has a voice in parliament
Foreign movies are some of the best, in the world.
You might start by setting a limit on how much a candidate can spend on his election campaign in the UK they are allowed £8700 plus 6 pence for every registered elector ,if one party/candidate appears on TV the broadcaster has to give the other candidates/parties a similar amount of air time .How you get these adopted Christ knows but good luck . Always enjoy your vlogs ❤P.S, Wishing both a very happy Christmas,hope you have a lovely holiday ❤.
Technical alert: the video you're commenting on, Loners, is too small for the English subtitles to be readable ...
in Denmark we have 17 different parties, each of which is keeping an eye. together
We often call Donald Trump “Trumpeltier” based on the German word “Trampeltier” which means a two-humped camel.
From an American - I call him a lot of things but they can't be printed here.
Great video! If you guys are interested in the german election system CNBC has a great video explaining it :) it would be great to see you guys reacting to it!
"He's nuts!!"
Nuts insane Hitler like frightening
FYI, I'm subscribed to both this channel and your vlog, but I only get notifications and updates to my feed on this one.
I reckon he is freaking brilliant
I always think of the UK as US Lite, that whatever goes on across the pond will eventually be adopted here. Our current government has taken a massive shift to the right...or they were always that way and I didn't realise just how deplorable they are until I started paying more attention to politics. If there's ONE thing I can thank Trump for, it's serving as a warning to those that were previously apathetic to politics. The US quickly realised that he had to be gone and voted Biden...thank fuck! I can't wait for our general election, to be done with this 14 year Tory nightmare. I hope they're voted into oblivion and the UK can finally start redeeming itself.
The thing is with the UK and I say this as a Brit, the UK have many of the negative elements of the US, whiles being a European country with a lot of the benefits of Europe.
It feels to me that the UK can't seem to make up its mind in what direction to go, but having seen everything that's been going on the last few years in the UK, US and EU, we really should be moving more towards the European model, it's less frantic when it comes to politics, especially on the debate of left vs right, European countries tend to do a better job of looking after it's citizens better than the US, even the UK doesn't score that well by European standards, whether that be quality of life index, work culture, happiness, Europeans are doing it better than the US and even the UK to a less degree, and it doesn't surprise me why so many European countries dominant the to 10 quality of life indexes around the world, whereas the US is slipping down the ladder since Trump got into power and it's not really changing under Biden, as for the UK, we've been slipping for some time, before Brexit but Brexit isn't doing the UK any favours.
But seriously, if you look at all the modern countries around the world, the US is the odd one out, almost every modern country has a strong safety net, universal health care and many other benefits, the US is quite weak in a lot of those areas, the UK does better but even the UK is lacking in many areas compared to European standards.
The Tories are a big problem in the UK, being pro business, they seem to want to import a lot of the negative elements of the US to the UK, they've been quite successful at that over the last decade that we've become quite the joke around the world, especially during the Brexit days.
Maybe with a Labour government after the election, maybe the UK can start digging its self out of the hole it's got its self in, but it won't be easy when we're dealing with the cost of Brexit and our voice isn't as important as it was when we were in the EU.
If Trump were to win the next election, that won't look good for the US, it's one thing him winning it once, it could be a fluck or Americans were angry at the system and wanted change, it's another thing to re-elect someone that is a joke, it could very well do a lot of damage to US credibility around the world if Trump won, far more then what was done last time because this time it will show that it's the people that are the problem and that isn't easy to fix to put the country on a stable footing.
A democracy is when every vote counts. So me from Denmark would not say you have that. It is just a word you use. Because of the electoral college
Also great idea with not being head of state and never tried to not have a lot of money. Great point ( just a side note)
In British English, 'trump' means 'fart'.
You won't elect a president without a full head of hair, we coiuldn't believe you would vote for a President Fart. (But - only your electoral college did.)
Probably react to this "Hitler, Nazis And World War II: How Germany Deals With Its Dark Past | Meet the Germans"
Honestly we treat our History quite different, in Germany than Americans do but you have to know that its a bit Diffrent for the East Germans who lived until 1989 in an dictatorship.
It was here kind of like in North and South Korea and becouse of that the East isn´t become that Multiculti.
the biggest problem of american politics in general is that u have to be rich, or at least you have to be kind of famous to be able to raise tons of money. not even for running potus, but also be able to running for govenor, or major. where does this money you need for running this postions come from? right, from other rich ppl, which are also interested in low taxes, bad working conditions with bad saleries to make as much profit as possible, bad healthcare for pharma profits and so on and on. this are the ppl your politicans owe favours then... minimum wage up to average class has no representation. media is owned by this major donors too, so of course everything what is rly needed for the "lower classes" will be called evil in the media. and ppl do believe this... you just have to repeat it ever and ever again... it`s a big circle of injustice starting as a kid by choosing the school... everything is a business in the states. so what is THE biggest problem? it´s easy! very, very rich persons. the top 1-3 % and the ppl which want to be in that club too one day... and climbing into the asses of this ppl. sorry for my bad english... im old and decades out of school and also i dont need english in my daily routine. -------------- greetings from germany, where the system is a bit better, but also far away of being perfect.
I kinda like the Sheilas logik
The problem with Trump is that he isn't a better option. Politicians get money from the wealthy people to help them keep their power. Putting a businesses man in a place of a politician is just cutting out the middle man.
There's a different video made in Germany from 2016 where a person rightout called Trump a fascist. It took the US 7 years to realize this.
Hey.. Danish guy here.. PLEASE.. For the love of whatever god you belive in, do EVERYTHING you can to make sure a man like Donald Trump never EVER gets elected again.. If lobbying is the language of america, go lobby you'r asses off to make sure of this..
The fact that that man ever had an international platform to speak from, was a stain in not just american history, but the history of humanity! Don't let your american patriotism or whatever, sway you from this.. It's more important to the rest of the world than you realise..
That guy has been to my hometown Hannover. Unusual. 😇
Im voting trump 2024
In prison 2024
The irony: He built a giant wall to keep all the U.S. Immigrants (800.000) out of Mexico.
He went to Germany...and the first pictures where from the city of Hannover :) my birth place (although I am not German)....but I do miss this place sometimes.
BTW the only props I give to Trumps (and I cant believe I am saying this at all) is that he didnt start WW3 like we all assumed across Europe. He is still insane and idk how he could have make it. If I were you I would have voted for Bernie.
Best president the US ever had
Homophobic is not well received by 80-85% of the population in Germany, regardless of whether they are conservative or liberal.
I'm Canadian and I approve of Donald Trump 100%
If the foreign film does not have voice over I'm out
I don't think, this movement to the political right or anti-progressiv or whatever we should call it is only in the US. We do have it in Germany in the 2020's, where even social-democrats and the greens jumped on the anti-migration train. We do have a rise of a reactionary right-populism against the progressivism of the 2000-2010's. And in history, this is kind of normal. There's allways a cycle of progress and than reactionary anti-progress...
Thing is - and I do see the US in a pretty weak spot there:
The reactionary time is a time, where the system can break down and used by extremists. We did have that in Germany in the 1930. It's the same. We now do have - thank to our fellow Americans btw - a constitution and democratic system, that most likly is strong enough to withstand such attacks. I don't see this in the US, the constitution aged badly, the society lost democratic culture at all - and I really hope, you still make it through this reactionary times as a working democratic republic. This election will be a breaking point to test it.
I HATE dubbing. I'm with Brian. I want to hear the actors performance. Every nuance, heartbreak, passion. It always surpasses dub voice actors (sorry) Tbh I watch mostly K Drama's so pretty much everything I watch is in subtitles.
But seriously, if Trump gets in again 🤬 America I'm done with you.
Considering how your politicians operate, I think that the 8 years/2 terms that your presidents have as a maximum, it should really be the same for your politicians. That you can not be a politician for your whole life, that could change things over there, I believe.
Trump2024 ! From Germany !
I get your point with the subtitles, for us it's a bit easier as we atleast understand some english, with a random european language you dont have even the most obvious phrases so yes you actually miss a lot if you look away. 😂
forget the demographic, some things are just plain wrong, wrong. Call it out, or be complicit.
Living in germany for decades my impression was depending on the background it was going from nuts to the new messiah has come (from left to right). My impression was the nuts faction was the majority, but this could simply be personal bias. From outside it was crazy how clueless and stupid a US government could react to a crisis like the covid pandemic (and our own german goverment was acting confusing an unprepared too, so our comparison is not to a ideal scenario). But after they installed the coronavirus task force it was impressive what the country (USA) are still capable to do and how quickly they have overthrown most other countries (test and especially vaccination) even having a late start.
PS: The entertaining part was/is that most of his lies are easy to detect once someone noticed the pattern: The more often repeated,extreme and exaggerated the claim the more sure you could be he is lying.
Trump 2024 👍
Wenn sich die USA unbedingt unbeliebt machen will ,dann sollten sie Trump wählen ! Aber ich persönlich denke das die Amerikaner clever genug sind das zu vermeiden!Hier in Deutschland sind Amerikener sehr willkommen bis auf einen 😅😅
Are you two going to vote in 24?❤
Oh, I know who DeSantis is. Some Bavarian conservative politicians have met with him this year, which has led to some controversy.
Its filmend in Hannover. Not a bad place to get a good picture of political opinions - at least its not a left- or right-wing hotspot like Berlin or Dresden.
From Finland - I have no doubt about American intelligence!. But following the US cencation focused media and believing and inhaling all that from there,..
the sweden thign refers to him saying that because europe lets in all the refugees there are now "no go" areas in sweden
I thought it was the incident when Trump claimed terror attacks in Sweden which cought the Swedes by suprise - since fuck all happened xD
@@69quato Yes, this statement by Trump was released and questions what he was actually refering to, revealed that he was talking about terrorist attacks in Sweden. Which never happened in the first place. The Swedish government released a statement as a response too.
With their mindset the makers of this video are living in the wrong country. You should immigrate to another country. The American Dream nowadays for ordinary Americans is to immigrate elsewhere. Maybe somewhere where health care is affordable, education is for free and you get 30 days of holiday per year as an employee.
The usa has gone down the crappa since JFK
Biden is a good president not perfect by a long way but he has done well. You should appreciate what you have a bit more and you should be careful who you vote for. I do not believe they are all the same the dems are not great but they are your best hope for the future.
Hello thats M. Stream
Madam Harris for President. ....
Hi Lynda.
Hi Brian.
I'm spending the last few days B4 Christmas wishing my favourite You Tubers a merry Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎉🎄
❤ from 🇬🇧
I love the way Trump made everyone lose their minds, the constant conspiracy theories from democrats were hilarious, and he made the media completely discredit themselves, I wouldn't want him leading of my country, but I don't care for my Prime Minister either.
19:11 put *Trump Last night in Sweden* in the youtube bar then youll see it
join the commonwealth
Are you folks stoned
Nice burp.
normaly i wait till the end to give a thumbs up to see if i like the video but after 1:00 i needed to press it for her being real and not giving a fuck hahahahahahha
It's too difficult to see the video. You should be in the corner, and the video in the front. Sorry. Dropped to see it.
Yes, you have to watch movies in the mother tongue. You lose the nuance of the original otherwise.
