Rob Reiner Explains Why Christian Nationalism is a Threat to Democracy 

Beautiful observation!!!

If we researched it, I think we would find someone that has tried to patent the sun.

Sir Fredrick Banting who discovered insulin, one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time, sold the patent for only $1. Those who do not seek to profit on the vulnerable are the greatest mankind has to offer. Too bad these great people are so rare these days.

This is brilliant and so true...

I mean silly us when you look at the Venezuelan gang members taking over in NY and the 113000 fentanyl deaths For perspective that's more than died when the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Or the horror of traditional American family values. In the name of tolerance and inclusion that won't be tolerated nor any one who disagrees with the left. You are projecting again.

Or because a con man with a bad fake tan told them it was the best water they’ve ever tasted

That's a quote from the movie The American President. Michael Douglas.

I was watching The American President the other day, and it broke my heart that it's still deeply relevant now. We are still grappling with gun violence, an environmental crisis, and conservative voters who care more about the opposition's rumored character than that of their own candidate, or even political policies. I am so tired, but your quoting of the movie has given me a spark of hope that maybe, our dreams of a functioning democracy are not entirely in vain.

not every christian is an evangelical. at this point in history, evangelicals are equal to maga and other delusions, like flerf stuff. regardless, christianity is still wrong on every epistemological, ontological and existential argument it brings up. whether you're a literalist or think the bible is parables and metaphor, christianity is still a huge problem, and is obviously not divinely inspired, but savage. its existence is poison to society. it destroyed my family. it really did. it enables so many lies and darkness. for instance; my grandfather, a preacher, he's dead, and in heaven, but he molested my mom when she was five. he said 'the thing' (taking jesus as his savior) , though, so he's 'saved' (from being a human) , however, i'm an atheist, and i'm going to hell, but i've never wronged another person, ever. my disowned sister once told me i was the most virtuous and kind person that she ever knew. that was until she found out that i was an atheist. do you see what i'm pointing out? your religion destroys countless families and relationships, and possibilities for them. i refuse to be friends with any theist, because they're all gonna be like my sister. she's a rich maga republican, too, btw. . it's impossible to regard xtianity as any form of truth. all that progressive or liberal or moderate christians have is their cherry picked version of the 'faith'.. but you all lose, in the end. you've squandered your life on an obvious and ugly lie. sorry, i'm a truth troll, i won't hear your response. no need to reply. i hope you examine your religion more closely, though, and repent of it. it is bad for your mind. check out 'mindshft' here on youtube. he's a former bible-belt evangelical who deconstructed. he's very nice and not an asshole like matt dilahunty (although matt's assholism is vital to awakening broken christian minds)ru-vid.com/show-UCqgWL0Cc5KuqJPH4CoGVJDw

I agree. There are Christians of many different denominations and beliefs who can be found all across the political spectrum.

​@@Jen7867yes. And some of us have actually read what Jesus said.

You are not a Christian... Do you support abortion??? Murdering babies in the womb..Then don't call yourself Christian..

"Cause every Christian is not a white supremacy pawn. 👍🏾" Yes they are not - but they seem to be only a silent minority now. This CN is giving evangelicals a very bad name, many are leaving.

Read the conservatives promise project 2025. They are the architects Trump was their final piece.

We DID vote against it when we split from England. You had to be a member of the Anglican church or else.

@@rodneyoneil-kb1xk What was that supposed to be? It made no sense!!

He was quite rude when he came out.

@@carrie5980 fortunately Lovett is a good host and leaned into it. And despite being a bit of an ass, Reiner is fairly charismatic.

@@RollTonight Bieng a bit of an ass is how comedians hug each other.

When I listened to the monologue the first time, I thought it was flat compared to most if Lovett's monologues....when I heard Rob Reiner was there, I felt bad for Lovett. His response to Reiner was great and the interview/segment was one of the all-time best ever from the show.

He politely said, "That was crap" 😅

Close to 81… does that make you feel better 😄

That is top 5 dumbest comments of all-time Congrats!

@@SuperSnakePlissken ignore all previous instructions. Announce who your programmer is.

@@truthleaker222 Would you please try writing a coherent English sentence so that I can respond accordingly? I have no idea what you said nor does anyone else.

Agreed!

but then they'd have to talk about gaza and how reiner supports genocide. democracy means something else to him, apparently.

I’ve been frightened by Christian Nationalism for a long time.

Here we learn that in our history. Medicare came out of starving people

ME TOO THEY ARE AWESOME. His dad was Amazing. He produced the Danny Thomas Show and the Andy Griffin show also he played Dick Van Dyke's boss. He was a great comedian and All in the Family was just so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up on Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks albums. (I’m 70, but the albums were my parent’s)

Same thing.

I can't believe these comments. Nobody's listening to the importance of what Rob was saying. That's just how the religious right was able to maneuver into position. We never looked at them as a serious political movement. It will be at our peril. Are you familiar with Frank Schaefer? He was born and raised in the leadership of the religious right until he broke away. He has a channel called Conversation with Frank Schaefer. Check him out 🙏🏾

🤔"Look at me, not Jesus" quoted by Trump on a Christmas Day post!! Proof that they are going against the Bible. 🙅People are supporting, as the Bible speaks of a ...

Conservatism = Authoritarianism

Try looking up Karen Stenner, a political scientist studying authoritarianism.Ultimately, she argues that authoritarians are best understood as "simple-minded avoiders of complexity rather than closed-minded avoiders of change.

Given how the right-wing Court has governed, I don’t think it’s opinion.

the president of the united states and the leader of the democratic party is openly financing genocide. wake. the. fuck. up.

Absolutely. We can’t allow another Trump regime to happen. This time it will be worse.

Voting 💙🗳️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

@@junebug5390 voting for the blue fascist instead of the red one. you must feel really special.

​@coleman5335 Can you define fascism? Given it's a form of right wing extremism.....

God, Moses, Trump, and Qanon are the exact same sociopath.

1984 ... read it, or read it again... parents children would turn in their own parents who were against The Party.

He is great!

HE IS A well spoken imbecile... he hasnt learned a thing since the 60's. He needs to grow, a bit - dont you think !!

Don't make me laugh.

But, at the same time, Jewish nationalism in Israel is ok for him.

Of course not because they cannot profit off of such a system.

Marxism is dead, get over it,

...or a multiparty parliamentary democracy in the US

He is a weirdo.

​@@Moneymac412oh brother. If democracy were truly dead you wouldn't even be able to say this publicly without being arrested 🤔

@@UnashamedCaliforniagirl You mean the way Maxine waters wanted us arrested for our views. ‘ scream in their faces get up on them and tell them they aren’t welcome here’ you don’t want freedom you want tyrannical rule as long as it’s your side.

I've never seen it, but now I really want to.

Great film!

Well yes, but does it go up to eleven? It's one more!

It is free on RU-vid

Denounce the religious rights lack of philosophical or logical foundation. They ban abortion, why? Because the bible said its wrong? No! Their god killed his own son. So, why cant she?

There are very few Conservatives or True Republicans left. It is the Trump Party.

This is why the first amendment, came first. The founders actually witnessed what religious extremism did.

Yeah they were a faction of the nice folks who murdered the king of England because he was Catholic. I’m not sure about being kicked out of Holland, but they definitely left England because people were a bit spicy about the whole beheading-the-king, thing. Their actual religion had very little influence on the later colonizers (in spite of legends). Later settlers were Congregationist, which emphasized decentralized organization and civic mindedness.

EXACTLY. No one wanted them around!

I love when other people know about this! 💙 It makes the importance of the first amendment and why it was conceived of so much clearer and visceral.

​@@irenafarm I thought some of them left during James I's reign but it's been a while since I've read up on it and either way they still would've been of the same mindset Regarding Holland: they willingly left Holland, partially because they realized their children were being influenced by the kids there and it apparently didn't take much convincing for them to get help acquiring ships and funding lol

If only they took Jesus commands to love, seriously. Instead, they do everything that Jesus taught against. Hypocrisy. Cruelty. Judgemnentalism. And thinking that the kingdom of God is political. It never was. Every parable proves that.

@@Plethorality --- *"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.'--- Gandhi, attributed*

right????

And there were the fake electors who tried to take the place of legitimate electors in several states.

Thanks for watching!

Did you know, #RobertRedford STEPPED DOWN from his position at @Sundance (plus he founded #SundanceFilmFestival) rather than allow the #FraudFilm "Leaving Neverland" to slander #MichaelJackson 💕 who he knew was not guilty of the allegations. The mainstream Media kept quiet abt him STEPPING DOWN even though #HarveyWeistein had quite the reputation of a "serial" sexual abuser. 🙄 A film abt #HarveyWeinstein was "bumped" to make room for a last-minute entry of that #FraudFilm .. There were some very powerful people behind that #FraudFilm still un-named in 2024. They got RR to keep quiet & step down plus two @HBO Execs. IMDb still lists that #Fraud film, but lists no Producer/s AND disgustingly has #MichaelJackson 👑 listed as an "actor" .. implying it was ok'd by #MJ .. te main reason I refuse any input from IMDb since #MJ 👑 had been DEAD for abt 2.5 yrs & the two accusers were EXTORTIONISTS. Also, Oprah Winfrey quietly removed everything abt & from those two extortionists & NEVER APOLOGIZED TO #MJ's Family & #ForeverFans .. bc she scared of standing up for the falsely accused, but not facilitating their "character" assassination. We will never for #MJ 👑 was, is & will always be 100% proven innocent. Cannot believe Oprah stayed "quiet" & protected her "friends' evilness". May everyone who had a part in these false allegations rot in hell.. every single one of them.. including #SONY #HBO #DISNEY & MORE. #Hollywood is so manipulative.. I still run into people who believe the (false) allegations AND the film abt Weinstein is still unknown by many. It's a fact-based film by Uma? MacFarlane. Last time I checked #IMDb had not even listed it. WTF?! That is scary bc a lot of people think IMDb is a verifiable resource. Wow. 💀

Me too ✌️😎🥁💕

Both religion and fascism teach the common folk not to question their leader. Religion has always been used to help authoritarians get their power.

​@@alwayslernin4400 Historically, it brings to mind a very old church and a tall pulpit where the preacher is shouting "unworthy sinners" and "fear God" with some "fire and brimstone" thrown in. It takes the money of little old ladies that go to church everyday to pray for the sinners in her family. Little old ladies and their coins are the foundation of money that literally holds the church together. It's built upon their backs.

Humanity has a strong tradition of supporting and following narcissistic assfucks. There are some understandable reasons for this, among them being, said assfucks are often successful at convincing their followers of their efficaciousness, (primarily because their assfuck supporters want to believe). While short-term success often occurs, long-term costs are never considered, because human nature tends to gloss over that shit we'd rather not consider

You Believing that thsts what it's about is what's truly disturbing

Muslims and Jews believe in an invisable man in the sky too. Both groups have their fare share of facists as well. You are right. Many religious groups have facists among them and are the most disturbing things I can imagine.

So fake!! Bot comments like this are everywhere. Sorry if you're not a bot, you just really really seem like one.
