Isn’t the culture war the republican party’s main political issue? So if trump is losing the culture war than that is hopeful

To this 76 year old white woman, your video was impressive and informative. Of course i have had no idea what is going on in the "manosphere" except what I read on my multiple news outlets from MSNBC to you to other Substack and Bulwark emails. But I do have several grandsons, and I realized that the 24 year old and 18 year old were being propagandized. Their mothers have worked with them to "deprogram" the misinformation they have received online, and I have also talked with them. Glad to hear that something is happening organically to change the perceptive of some of these influencers! Thanks for your explanation!

Good to know you and their moms have been doing the job of deprogramming your grandsons! At least they have been listening to you! Bless you!

I hear Joe Rogan say if you are sick enough to enjoy watching children being snatched from their mothers, and all you have to say is, “Well they shouldn’t have come here,” we DO NOT want you on our team!

The felon is known, however he’s not popular in any meaningful way. As his senility becomes more apparent even maga are backing away.

Encouraging news! Are some of the MAGA people finally getting some of their eyesight back?

Doubt it. They will probably dig in but maybe, just maybe the the politicians will wake up.

Honestly if she had a real gauge for public opinion she wouldn’t have posted melania’s hat. She wouldn’t have worn Marilyn’s dress. One of the very thing she lacks is public perception. If she’s posting about immigration, it’s because she a) has a soul and b) is affected by it. And she has a lot of labor that may very well be immigrant labor. And she’s grown up in a largely immigrant town.

Hi Olivia, really enjoyed your take on how the ICE raids are eating away at Trump's public persona and the support he's losing with young men and celebrities because of ICE raids against good people. He makes the mistake of assuming that if someone puts him on a pedestal he can suddenly turn around and show his absolute worst sides and still have their undying adoration! The power to take down the oppressiveness and aggression against us lies with us to keep pushing back and speaking truth to power.

When popular celebrities and podcasters like Joe Rogan and Kim Kardasian changing their opinions about Trump their followers will follow (hopefully)

I'm a little battle-scarred from the beating liberal democracy has taken the past 10 years, so I am reluctant to become too hopeful. But your insights as a younger observer of trends in American culture give me hope. Thank you!!!

Not losing fast enough to suit my tastes. How can a misanthropic existential racist, bigot, homophobic like him have a popular rating above 20 percent? Answer: Many Americans like leaders openly misanthropic, existential racist, bigot, homophobic.
