The subterfuge is surely there, but Prof. Reich is more on-point. GOP strategy is to disgust voters with a dismal view of ANY Dem. president's policy. Period.
Aaaah it is music to my ears to have someone clearly coherently and cogently describe what is happening. Thanks to professor Reich and the team at inequality media.
@@SuperMegoman the numbers are not with him. he just barely had over 50% support in the first 2 primaries. he can't carry his own party, he can't carry the democratic party, and he will not sway the majority of independents. people over hype the polls. the average poll interviews only about 1500 americans. that is about .00058% of the eligible voters.
I had the privilege to visit and live in your beautiful country where I spent 2 years there for my studies. That was 40 years ago. Coming back to my country in Europe (Switzerland), after having toured the US, my diagnostic was that part of the US had a fascist mentality, but with the big chance they they have strong institutions that prevent them from drifting. DT destroyed those institutions and now we are.
This pattern could be found all around the world. Here in Germany it's the same thing. The far right is rising because of spreding out fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Trump and some others are following Hermann Göring's instructions on how to install a fascist government. I hope you are familiar with the quote from Göring. Unfortunately, this also works here in Germany.
Less education ensures workers with limited mobility. Mobile workers requires corporations to increase salaries. This strategy was working well until it affected the middle class. That's what all the fuss now is all about.
At the risk of seeming too dramatic or paranoid, it seems as if there’s been a planned attempt to make American society, and by example - the rest of the world, a more conservative place. Some of us might think that’s not such a bad thing. What’s happening today though is not some ‘return to family values’ (which is how MAGA supporters mistakenly see it) but what really seems to be happening over the last 20 years is some type of global effort to make America into a fascist state - controlled by powerful greedy people that want to ‘purify’ things just to keep the world in their control, instead of encouraging and teaching people to be more happy, honest, educated and successful.
We all should be. His sycophant brainwashed supporters won’t realize they’ve been had (as in snookered) until their diabolical leader joins forces with the worlds other Dictators when it’s too late for us to keep our Democracy! Time is running out America! Vote blue in November or else! You’ve been warned!
True leaders lead from the front. trump is in a backroom thinking of plans on how to get the next few hard earned dollars from his followers. When, of course, he is not in a courtroom spending those very dollars on legal fees.
Was that someone you? I said nothing improper, and iif that person was you who reported me, that action on your part was shameful and improper.and you should be ashamed of yourself. What I said was "#45 is a dishonest man" which is true. I kept my language clean and proper and spoke the truth because he is dishonest; others here on YT have said worse things about him and their comments get posted If you disagree with what I said about #45, that's not my problem. I have a right to free speech and what I said was well within RU-vid guidelines which I have read. Have you read the Guidelines to know what is allowed here YT and what is not? If not, perhaps you should, instead of making false reports.... if it was you? @@skabuoy
Funny that the party that screeches endlessly about communism, Marxism, socialism and Stalinism openly embraces and wants to follow the examples set by a former KGB agent who's nostalgic for the Soviet Union.
Because they embrace the negative aspects of Soviet communism, the autocratic, paranoid regime that cant tolerate political dissent while hating and despising its positive aspects of a welfare state that provides for its citizens and being pro labor. Not that the Soviets ever achieved the latter, but that was their stated intent.
Putin is nostalgic for USSR power - not Communism. He runs an oligarchy and he like it that way! He was a communist when that was the way towards promotion and power, not because he believed in the proletariat revolution - he hates the proletariat! That's why the Republicans like him - they too are oligarchs who despise the small person being able to vote.
In 1986-7 the state of NSW in Australia asked for bids to build the first casino in Sydney. Four groups submitted bids for the lucrative project. Cabinet papers declassified 30 years later revealed that the Trump bid was rejected after NSW State Police reported that the Trump mafia connections and financial unviability made their bid undesirable.
Makes sense to use chaos, fear, insecurity. He makes people seeking *order* and most people confuse control and order. And on the backside of getting order they establish control. First victim is the truth, then comes freedom, then comes justice, then comes the rule of law corrupted and perverted to punish the innocent and so on and so on.
ERM... wow this is dumb. The Dems are the ones who lied to create chaos, lied about the chaotic border, lied about the chaotic economy, about fracking. The Dems want more wars, they want a 3rd world witch hunt against a man they see as a threat. They also previously denied elections, tried to impeach Trump.
What democracy? Biden refuses to debate challengers. Biden and the DNC keep challengers off primary ballots in several states so that he doesn't have to worry about losing support. If you are looking for the least democratic party this time around it is Biden and the DNC as they try to force Biden on us all. He is going to lose. Only plus is maybe just maybe the DNC will learn their lesson
Robert's impeccable logic is on target. Trump spreads hate and discontent diverting you while he picks your pocket ; your vote, right to influence government, control over your own body. VOTE BLUE, take others with you.
@@cliffordbuttle4529 Just look at Donnie Dementia who thinks he beat Obama, lol, who thinks we are headed into WW2...just look at Crack head Don Jr if you want to compare sons, or dimwit Eric.
While I agree 1000% with Robert's comments, there are three MAJOR issues: 1) How to get it in front of those who will never see it; 2) How to get them to soak it in and see that he's making sense; 3) How to get them to vote sensibly. I don't see any of those happening in Cultworld. Sensible Republicans, independents, and Dems, we MUST vote in droves in November!!!!
1) Share the video. Sharing pushes the algorithm more than anything else. 2) That's out of our control 3) That's out of our control Follow your advice. Vote! and urge others to do so.
There are also these problems: 4.) The president is chosen by the electorate, not the people, and the electorate are not obligated to follow the voice of the people. That’s why Trump won in 2016, despite losing the popular vote. So voting needs to be restructured in order to get people to care about participating, because for right now, the popular vote for the president is just ceremonial. 5.) Biden is not actually a good president, he’s just the lesser of two evils, objectively. So if the Dems want to get people to vote blue, they are going to have to present us with better options, like Bernie, who they hate. 6.) The economy is not really getting better for most Americans. Biden can throw numbers and stats up that might claim so, but that just shows that the economy is thriving for the elite. Regular Americans are not getting relief yet. We still have to tighten our wallets every day. Obviously, it’s better than what Trump would do, but the pessimism around the government isn’t just the GOP’s fault.

I can't believe anyone is seeing Trump as a strong man. Physically, mentally and morally, he is one of the weakest people I've seen. Let's not confuse cruelty, egoism or a lack of empathy for strength!
It's his language that turns them on. The fight language, the weak sometimes side with a bully to feed off of his vibe. His in the face rhetoric turns them on.
Nazi propaganda used sophisticated mind control techniques that communist Russia and China have perfected for modern times. The Republican party is using these same techniques on their media outlets, Fox, OAN, Newsmax, and social media. These techniques work. An author who specializes in deprogramming cult victims has written a book explaining the techniques used by the Trump cult and a step-by-step guide to deprogramming them. It is called, The Trump Cult by Steven Hassan.
Anybody that voted for Biden should be thrown out of the country he's the biggest idiot going you can't understand a damn thing he says unless you watch CNN where they cut out all the stupid stuff that he says
Smedley Butler and The Business Revolt of 1933. In America, the coup that never taught in school. Corporations are not persons and money is not speech.
Another very good, to-the-point video, Robert, thank you. One note, I was surprised the only mention of inflation reduction was the quick overlay of the placard while you were talking about the climate change work. As that (finances) are such a critical voter issue seems that could have been highlighted a bit better, clearer. Thanks for all you've been doing these past 8 years for the country.

I've never been MORE INSPIRED to vote than in this election year! When you are truly willing to see what Democracy is up against, how can you not vote!?
It's good, I agree. Now, if only someone could do something about all the oil that's coming out of the ground in America. Oh wait, that's also his doing. 🙄😒😤
@zarakikon6352 Ok I understand but we can't just stop fossil fuel immediately. It has to happen in stages. So until everything is in place and has been tested to be able to stand against all or most odds, then they might start implementing more green energy. Remember he is governing people's lives so he has to be right and sure about every single thing he does.
THX, thats all on spot. Maybe one aspect ... Trump also wanted to lower the cost of medicines. Remember, on Covid infections he suggested injecting household disinfectants. That would have been quite affordable for everbody. Ok, just that speach of him should have caused an impeachment, too sad it didn´t.
@nategrossman2539 by the way, it's not really the intelligent thing to do by generalizing. I've been an independent for 40 years voted for Clinton twice. The problem is you need to see and hear both sides of the story which unfortunately liberals never do especially if they're here
And what is that? Wanna know what that is trump administration accomplishments you return to being Republican and the second stop listening to all the lies
@@Wizerthanmost "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured, okay." "I don't get it, what's in it for them? They were suckers." Doesn't want wounded veterans around home because they "make him look bad." His Muslim ban. Taking away my wife's right to her own body. His "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" that actually raised my taxes. Banning the bump stocks. Using his office to pocket $160 million through his hotels and secret service lodging. Taking $8 million in direct payments from China. Using federal law enforcement to clear out protestors for his photo op. "There were very fine people..on both sides" in regards to the Charlottesville murders. His covid debacle. Asking about getting disinfectant into the body like he's some kind of genius. 60+ court losses challenging the 2020 election results, many of them by his appointed judges, yet STILL denying he lost because of his narcissistic ego. He's a civilly liable rapist. He stole documents from the federal government and when given the chance to turn them in scott free, had his goons try to delete the hidden camera footage. The constant tweeting. Doubling and tripling down when he screws up his teleprompter. The thousands of lies. Constantly playing the victim. His supporters call him "self-funded," yet he owes billions of dollars to some sketchy banks and foreign companies and I get about 16 solicitation emails from him each week in my spam folder. The GOP used to be the party of personal responsibility but all this guy does is whine whine whine and blame every single fuck up he's done on anyone but himself. All he does is lose. "You're gonna be so sick of winning," indeed. Mexico never did pay for the wall, either because there was no wall or he was full of shit. Glad I left that party and as long as these are the New Republican Values, you can count me out!
Does anyone else notice that the only people here w/ negative comments have NO SOLUTIONS or facts? Just nasty insults + immature word salads. Makes Mr Reich's points that much stronger + pertinent ☮️ vote blue
Remind me again what solutions either party is running on? Why should americans vote when neither option presents our country with solutions? When voter turn out is low republicans tend to win. Maybe if yall want to increase voter turn out it would be a good idea to actually inspire the american public to want to vote for Biden for more than just that hes not trump........

Doesn’t take much of a brain to realize the countries in much better shape under Biden than it was for the four years with Trump. I will vote blue until I can no longer vote.
1:32 Between March and April 2020, because of the pandemic, 21,942,000 jobs were lost. Between May 2020 and January 2021, 12,539,000 jobs were recovered. Which means 9,402,000 jobs would need to be created before reaching the break even point. It took until June 2022, to hit the break even point. Also worth noting the amount of people working multiple jobs has increased. Dont walk run productions, DAZED and confused Had plenty of other stats.
The problem is that the people who need to see this video will never watch it ! Trumpers are too lazy to become informed and would rather believe a pathological liar. Strange.
My thought too while watching. It's preaching to the choir. We like to hear the confirmation of our belief. Useful video for highschools though. Keep bashing the Magas with facts in the comments of there channels.
So do the Rs generally. They benefit more from govt handouts not that there is anything wrong with handouts - think mortgage-interest deductions - than poor people generally, but they say they want to tear everything up. Pray that the Ds manage to keep the economy strong, to revive Section 8, to fund police, to respect all, and that Rs lose in November.
@@feylezofriza it's not the facts of understanding probability it's a fact if people don't vote then people get in that shouldn't get in just like Trump's first, failed presidency. Again the stupidest thing American can do is not vote. 🖕
Believe this Mr Reich, we are well aware of what the republicons plan is and we arent falling for it again...and we choose Democracy.We Choose President Biden for 4 more years. For Peace of mine and foward momentum. Vote Blue 2024 and beyond for Sanity and Freedom 💙🇺🇸
@@yourdaddy-mq4km You must of just woke up from an extended nap..........it's none other than dementia donnie trying to get the GOP to crown him king so as he doesn't have to run against others! He won't debate them because all he can do is scream, lie, stalk them and doesn't have any policies that would help America, just those that will fill his wallet! Consider yourself better informed!
Thank you, Mr. Reich. Unveiling the old time-tested strategies of fascism is the best start to defusing them. My only concern is in getting this message to the people who most need to hear it - believers in the strong-man fallacy.

Robert, thank you so much for your dedication to education. You hit the nail on the head. We need to pay attention. Don’t get lost in the chaos. Keep your eyes wide open to the facts.
Well said Robert, glad your highlighting this mans dangerous rhetoric. We had the same with Boris Johnson who served as Prime Minister here in the UK.. Trump is a national disgrace His speeches are filled with hate and retribution. His arrogance and lack of humility are alarming. I hope the decent Americans do the right thing and vote him out. Keep up the good work Robert. I'll be spreading the word here with my friends in the U. K. Braveheart1314
In 2017, the republican dominated administration in the state of Iowa voted to make it illegal for state workers to collectively bargain labor contracts through their unions. Even payroll deductions for union dues was made illegal. Not a single republican voted against this. We still have the unions, but they are effectively powerless.
And you think dems are going to save you? The same dems who forced railway workers to take an unfair deal instead of the union plan they voted for? This is the problem with the democratic party. Its become nothing but a positive feedback vaccum, where no legitimate criticism or thought can exist. Dems refuse to acknowledge they have made some mistakes for the last couple of decades, so when they talk about issues that have affected millions of americans they act like their positions have only been good for the country. Well the american people lived through reality and can smell the bs from a mile away. And then yall wonder why americans have lost trust in the political party.
Why are we not focusing on what makes people susceptible to these harmful political strategies? For example, Trump has power because millions of people support him while denying factual reality in order to do so. This is NOT about politics but about healthy mental maturity. STOP ignoring this.
No one ignores the sorry state of delusional MAGAT mentality, or the effects of evangelical religion, decline in education, including the rise of homeschooling, or influence of rising worldwide undemocratic government.
@@yourdaddy-mq4km There is no evidence for that narrative cultmember. Actually, it runs counter to your other narrative about Biden being clueless and with dementia, remember that one? Now he is a Machiavellian Mafia boss manipulating the legal system? Logic is not your forte is it?
Can we all clap and cheer for the trolls trying to influence us or illicit a reaction of giving up while they simultaneously boost the algorithm of this spot on, clear cogent fact based video. We couldn't ask for better engagement generators they are a tremendous boost to the amount of views this video will get.
Trump wants me to be cynical? I'm already cynical. I lost faith in humanity when he and Hillary became the nominees. That was the best we could do? Lost faith in humanity again when Trump became president. The Capitol Insurrection added to my cynicism too.
