I am 52 and was raised in the south as a Democrat and as I got older I felt like I identified more as a Republican, and now I can't claim to be a member of either party but I can claim to be an American who wants the best for all in this great country of ours. I can see good points and bad points in both parties, but one thing Tom said in this song hit the nail on the head about how I feel these days, "It don’t matter who’s the winner ‘cause the people always lose". Me vs. You is the first time I have listened to Tom (6/21.2024) and this video made me an instant fan.
Victoria, I'm glad you tossed some flowers to Nova. Her videography is phenomenal, especially her use of symbolism. She's very adept at using simple concepts and simple settings to give impactful visual-life to Tom's lyrical messages. I loved that she used a warehouse setting to symbolize the working-class of the people who are being pitted against each other by the elites who run the system. On a lighter note, congratulations on being able to deal with three Toms without needing your inhaler. Can we take this as a sign that Tom is managing to toughen you up a bit? 🤣
I totally agree with your breakdown. I'm constantly somewhere in the middle on most issues these days and everyone around me thinks of me as a cultist or conspiracy theorist because I'm not on THEIR side... What happened to nuance and empathy? Am I not allowed to find compassion for people I disagree with?
Red Tom presented nothing more than logic, common sense, and objective facts. Blue Tom presented subjective feelings, emotions, and MSM talking points. I’ll stick with the red side before I ever give the blue side the attention they want. Their cry baby tactics are pathetic and sad.
Brother, you really missed the point lmao Love everyone despite our diferences. Be the bigger man, u can vote whatever u want without having political label war lmao
I actually use to be a liberal Democrat voter, brainwashed by MSM to hate right wingers because "blah blah blah, right wing bad"... then over these past few years i started noticing the hypocrisy and called out the BS from the left... now im not conservative or Republican, but i don't see them as i was brainwashed to back then. Now im a center right independent... and im fine sitting on the fence making my choices on what i believe and support (per subject) instead of supporting what the party tells me i have to support.... BTW, you look gorgeous with the green hair and ink 😍🥰😘... don't let anyone give you any BS for that.
Both sides are extreme hypocrites, they would rather blame the other side than take ownership of the faults they have. Don't be hard on yourself, you defended what you believed to be right at the time, truth is nobody is right, it's all wrong. That is why I hate politics in general, all they do is divide
@@fanboyhex1555 right wingers are very upfront about their BS man, no brainwashing needed. They don't like immigrants or gays and they hate the welfare state. What is so hard to understand?
Some Reactors have accused Tom of fence sitting on this one. But no Artist, independent or otherwise and saying what Tom is saying and getting the numbers, he wanted to put this out later in the year but thought it might get blocked by the powers that be. #HOG UK
@@saddletramp5000 New World Order was omitted from RU-vid trending charts, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8... And I forget which song it was but I couldn't find it in search, even with name and title on day of drop, had to go direct to his page.
@gregory6592 It still has 7.3 million views. That isn't chump change. Then there are artists like Samson who can't reach over 200k subscribers and he only has 2 tracks that have gotten over 1 million views. It just doesn't make sense. Then there's Ryan Upchurch who has a subscriber count that has been sitting at just over 3 million for over 4 years. How is that even possible? Not just artists. Conservative commentators have a hard time gaining numbers too. Mark Dice for one. You have to type the video title into the search bar to get to most of his videos. Very few videos are ever recommended. That's why they don't see growth on their channels. They aren't being recommended to new eyeballs. I'm not subscribed to Tom, but I am always having his videos recommended to me whenever he releases a new one. Even his older videos pop up in my feed. He's definitely not being shadowbanned.
@@saddletramp5000 Tom promotes his new releases very hard on socials, his fan base go even harder, one million views in the first 24hrs because he's been promoting it for the previous week. RU-vid have a love hate relationship with Tom, his videos bring in the numbers but a few of them are considered controversial, to mitigate this Tom self censors all his cuss words, so as to take one reason for shadow banning him away. I like Samson but in Cesspool he admits he doesn't push his music, he shouldn't criticise those that do, Upchurch was brilliant a few years ago, but his subscribers are dropping, more rants than music, Tom and Nova have the underdog back story and people like that.
Been waiting for your reaction. Awesome as always. Thank you. At least he did not make you cry this time. Need to get you and some of the other reactors in a cameo video. 💕
I'm with ya girl! I have always taken the Groucho Marx stance when he told the Friars Club “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”
Someone pointed this out in another reaction but I agree whole heartedly that Tom is making a great representation that when the Right makes a valid point and comes out with facts that the Left comes back with a non relevant argument on another subject that isn't even related but reactor also made another point that it's not the Left that always brings up these topics it's The System that does to get us arguing rather than focusing on the task at hand. The Right tries to pull back to what is important but get deflected again by the Left.
I was raised the same way u were. Times have changed, people’s needs have definitely changed over the years. I think my entire family has changed their beliefs over the last 10 years, including me. My opinion, politicians only care about themselves, they’ll all say anything to keep their power, in the end WE lose. I say that because they’re making us stay at each others throats and whole time they’re sitting high and mighty watching us do nothing but hate.
Hello Spooky Squirrel (Victoria) I am a new watcher to your channel in the past few weeks. I am enjoying this song and the message of it. For the record after watching some of your videos on Tom, I could totally tell you were on the Conservative side of politics before you even mentioned it on this video. Props to you girl.
Had not heard this yet. Not sure how you are in my feed. But guess what? I am SOOO VERY GLAD that you covered this song. I am gonna buy it and play it on my phone. Thanks so much.
My dad said this and I actually couldn't agree more Taking sides never ends well for anyone you have to find that nice middle ground to truly move forward Because in the end no president is actually going to care they're just going to go with whatever side gets them the most votes it's up to the citizens to come together and TALK to each other to meet in the middle Not yelling over each other TALKING to each other and LISTENING to each side facts and feelings are both important but finding something in the middle of those things is what's MOST important
I'm late to your late react 🤷 but enjoyed it! I love your energy and vibe, you're like my little niece that makes me smile lol 😬 I could rant right along with ya, but will leave it at I feel ya. Good vibes! 🐼
As a 63YO metalhead I’m a bit shocked getting goosebumps all over by a rapper. Tom is a real good singer too. Must put a bunch of points to Nova’s brilliant videoworks.
New sub and absolutely love your reactions. I love that you actually watch the whole video and we get to watch your reaction and then at the end you do what you think or breakdown. So hard to find a "reaction" channel that doesn't pause the video every 5 seconds to do a breakdown. All that pausing really throws off the flow, especially Tom's music. #HOG for life. Keep doing what you're doing. 😁
That’s what I’m saying!!!! Dude I legit had a couple ppl get mad at me for not pausing but I’m with u I feel like it completely messes with the flow of things if constantly paused. Plus what if there’s a breakdown out of no where and it’s ruined by me yapping 🤣🤣🤣
@@sp00kysquirrel Don't let the haters get you. This is a legit "reaction". Tell them if they want a "breakdown" there's plenty of places to get that. Even though if you're patient, I think your breakdowns at the end are great. Also your "yapping"😂 could never ruin anything though. 😁 😉
If this doesn’t sum up the current situation in under 4:00 minutes, nothing can. Already shared the snot out of this one. “I LOVE YOU!” It was and shall ever be #hangovergang forever bee itches 🤙🏽
First of all glad to see you back. Absolutely love your reviews. I think the Red vs Blue was very well put together, however, the black Tom was the true reality. And as always your wifey, Nova, what's a genius behind the camera.❤❤❤
The biggest thing I took from this is there's room for both arguments, minus the immature insanity, from both sides. It's just sad that I still think a civil war is on the horizon. If it doesn't happen November-ish, I will be surprised.
Great reaction. As a veteran of Gulf War, it breaks my heart to see people reach for hatred so quick. I will say neither party really cares about us veterans..we are just scapegoats for agendas. I have received more support and caring from regular people on all sides. George Washington was right about political parties and was our ONLY independent president. Nothing will change when we keep voting the same two in. Neither party cares about the "people" As all things in life we need balance...do conservatives have good view points yes, but liberals have good points too..we need balance..to much of one becomes tyranny. We should work together as a people. We might not always agree, but just like any relationship you cannot have your way all the time...comprise is a must.
Same here... I got tattoos, crazy hair, piercing the whole thing.. But was raised conservative church going etc. My looks don't dictate my beliefs. I love giving people a that wtf moment. But alas I let my hair go "normal " for a bit because I'm running for County Commissioner cant wait till I won and can go back to my colored hair
When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything you see is a nail. Now go pound it. She got flustered with the nail quote and yet she has great nails. Go figure?
She won't react to that . Trust me it's only Tom MacDonald or Adam Calhoun now. She will be gone for another month or 2 until those losers make a new song trust me .
@@laynestaley7599 they aren’t losers they are actually really cool and down to earth guys to talk to. My last video was falling in reverse as well as a goofy one for Ronnie Radke in case u missed those. Editing a yelawolf one tn 🫡
He presented the crazy, radical points of both sides when he was arguing with himself. Then he inserted himself in at the end when he was dressed in all black. I think he was trying to show everyone the ridiculousness of both sides then was trying to drop some facts to say we should be united.
I said this on toms channel....i dont hate each other AMERICANS, i hate the democrat politicians who've done what they've done and ARE doing to this country and all of us
I agree Victoria. My conservative hs girlfriend went way way liberal. We didn't talk for like a decade cause of all these hot topics and things they like pushing in our face with the knowing that it's going to divide and make us argue/hate each other. A difference of opinion use to make us move forward, and now it makes us see each other as enemies. We don't talk and discuss, we yell and fight. Her and I recently talked and really got along, I think more are seeing that our views are being used by the higher ups to keeps our eyes off them!
Oh my gosh yes it’s sad that it causes such a divide. But I hope u two are doing ok. It’s sad when stuff like this gets in between people and their relationships
I saw another reactor succinctly observe that each side will likely agree with THEIR Tom in this video. Everyone wil likely disagree on some of our political positions, and I'm not fence riding either with the "why can't we all just get along" mantra, but EQ and cognitive self-awareness require each of us, on all sides, to recognize our own biases and the emotional investments that we bring with those biases, resulting in the emotional shutdown of any intelligent discussions by both sides. I have long said that I'm willing to have an intelligent, non-emotional conversation with anyone. But once the screaming starts, reason exits. By listening, I'll probably still disagree with some folks, but we'll each better understand why the other feels the way they do, and we will have a mutual respect for the leaving of emotions outside. Oh, and "listening" also means not thinking of the next point or argument we want to make while they are stating theirs. That's just "hearing" and not "listening" Loving your reactions and how animated you can get! 😊 ❤❤❤
History shows societies tend to die not long after they indulge in consumption, pleasure and sacrifice. What are we consuming? Everything. What pleasures are we indulging in? Anything. What are we sacrificing? The future of our potential children.
Divide and conquer works, that's what the federal government has done to the American people. I am 54, I've seen a lot of shit in my life it's very sad to see how successful the government has been in dividing the American people. This song is spot on in so many ways its remarkable.
I'll go with the black Tom, the one who looked at the overall situation behind the red and the blue of what's really going on, not just in the US, but in the world.
Love the reaction! Much Love! ... dude... dude. My nieces and nephews still want bug juice. Don't know why.. it's still alive in Wyoming county. That sh:t sucks, bruh 😂 go EER'S!❤
Im Republican and I have to say Im digging the green hair! Your hot as Hell! I say this with the utmost Respect! I have been Happily married for 32 years. That being said Im not blind Yet !!! You Rock girl! Please keep it up!
BUG JUICE!!!!! But great reaction as always! Shit is ABSOLUTELY fucked but another KILLER song from Sir Tomithy and banger video by Nova as always! Always seems to be an awesome video when the 3 of you come together like this!
This is the first time that I listen to this channel. Everyone has to pick a side. Mostly what you say is a word salad. If you actually listened to both sides and picked a side, you would have much more subscribers and much more success. I am from Canada and we share the same issues as the USA for the most part. Our country is also getting destroyed, while a whole bunch of people like you can't think and can't pick sides of the issues. Not trying to be mean, just an observation. By the way I love Tom Macdonald. Just discovered him in the last week.
@@MarcRac-yc5es I’m not picking a side so I can get more subs and “success” lol both sides have issues and that’s such a close minded approach to believe once side has it figured out and the other doesn’t. The issue is our government pinning us against one another amongst many other things. We need to come together to solve issues. I’m not trying to be mean just an observation. Most of what you’re saying is word salad to pressure someone to join you. Which again is close minded and quite manipulative actually. I love Tim Macdonald to he’s great!
Love your reactions as always even being a Canadian I agree with u both sides hate each other and try to divide each other to points brought up were legit on both sides and nova killed it
I’m with you and black clad Tom for sure. So tired of the division and finger pointing. About time we start pointing them at our politicians who have all become millionaires while serving us. Enough is enough. Anyways love your face more. 😂❤
I'm no fence sitter, I'm way off in the unknown, not playing silly games, being brainwashed. I'm off to the side watching people fight each other over nothing, being dummies.
I find that people who have a balanced viewpoint, like you, say Tom presented a balanced view of both sides, people who are on the Left say he destroyed the Right with the Left's arguments, and people on the Right say he destroyed the Left with the Right's arguments. Everyone sees what they already believe. Such fun!
LOL my expressions on my face have gotten me in trouble a few times in every day life but at least it works out for reaction videos 🤣 thank u so much!!!
I do enjoy your reaction it is a true reaction. I have seen a few others but you do it the right way. Let the music breath and comment after. That is a true reaction that your reacting but keep the flow. Nice video and yeah keep this up I do enjoy your work............
Tom has been doing topics on truth seeking and mental health before 2020. Long before x haha. My views are moderate. Sometimes we lean left sometimes we lean right but in truth. Politics will always divide us. But Art always unites us good reaction 😊
