  • We just had the G7. There was just a Ukrainian Peace Conference in Switzerland. Here at home we have a wanna be dictator running against a President who fights dictators. Today we talk to international expert Andrea Chalupa about two broad stroke topics, what’s going on in Ukraine, because I think most of us have kind of checked out and don’t have a clue anymore, and what Trump will offer in a second term in regards to American immigration which, after doing the research is so horrifying that it absolutely can’t come to pass. At the end of the day Trump wants to make America Russia and Russia believes it’s owed the world and we need to understand both things if we’re going to properly fight back.

    This is happening because almost all of those who experienced the Holocaust and WWII are gone - we need their courage and compassion and determination to stop this now. After my father fought so long and hard in WWII to overcome this, it is horrifying that there are so many in this country that are so ignorant and pathetic!!

      I know so many elderly people here in Florida who want Trump. They don’t realize that the disabled and elderly would be the first to get killed. Also, there won’t be social services. They may have money. But, I don’t have much. They will take our money, no matter how little we have. Trump is a problem and so is Russia. These people should wake up. They listen to to much Fox News. Already, Trump is including his family to help with his campaign. 🗳🇺🇸👹🌪

      Conservatives desire strict and immutable hierarchy because it gives them the _feeling_ of security to counteract the _feeling_ of fear of the world as a dangerous place filled with enemies that pose an existential threat.
      All you have to do is frighten conservatives enough and they'll run to autocracy every time. This is why right-wing media screams 24/7 about fake existential threats. Autocracy isn't an accident, it's the goal.

    • @practicaliching2311
      @practicaliching2311 Před 8 dny +1

      Laissez-faire government and Laissez-faire economics are counterintuitive ideas. Laffer Curve, peace through strength, and building a strong state on strong individuals given individual liberty and expecting individual responsibility, are counterintuitive ideas. Conservative ideas are counterintuitive.

    • @practicaliching2311
      @practicaliching2311 Před 8 dny

      Liberalism is not an ideology. Liberalism is an inability to use reason and logic to understand how the counterintuitive nature of the universe works, so a person falls back on their emotions to reach a conclusion.
      That is why there are no successful liberal political talk radio shows. Liberals need moving pictures or hand puppets to trigger their emotions.

    • @practicaliching2311
      @practicaliching2311 Před 8 dny

      There was a huge global study where they asked thousands of people hundreds of questions and grouped them by their answers. People that ranked high in conscientiousness also favored conservative policies. People that ranked low in conscientiousness also favored liberal policies.

    • @practicaliching2311
      @practicaliching2311 Před 8 dny

      Meaning liberals have no intention of doing what is right or making sacrifices for the good of society.
      Liberals are twice as likely as conservatives to report having mental problems in some groups and report higher mental problems across the board. This mental instability and inability to still their mind long enough to understand how conservative policies help poor and working class people is the cause of their problem.

    Hell yes!
    I should know something about that:
    After all I grew up in Hitlers Nazi Germany.
    Had I been born four years earlier, I would have been drafted into the Volkssturm.
    As Volunteer I could joined earlier. I had no interest in this, as I had actually seen too much already.
    I had experienced the absolute evil of the Braunshirts.
    First the Reichskristallnacht with its sickening mistreatment of the Jewish people.
    Which my mother forced me to watch from beginning to end, in opposition to the orders of SA members.
    I had my own personal run- ins with the party officials and the Gestapo.
    Plus, plus,plus.....
    And, what your guest is saying, is correct.
    By the way: my parents were Communists until they saw the truth of it, after WW2.
    No more membership in the KPD.
    There was of course no Communist regime in the Soviet Union. It was, pure and simply, a Dictatorship of Dictators and their Cronies.
