Here’s the most recent video, by the way. It caused such a scandal that people started unsubscribing en masse. There are viewers who can’t tolerate any criticism of Trump. They are leftists at heart. They need an idol they can worship and a party line they need to parrot. This is not OK because we already have a Left in this country. What we need is an alternative to its lockstep fanaticism.

Clarissa, I think you’ve really hit a very interesting point on your on-going discussion on low-IQ people and how they affect political discourse. This is an unfortunate reality that is just now beginning to be talked about and researched:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s44271-025-00245-2The reason I bring this up is I’m pretty sure a lot of these there is a strong correlation between cult of personality fanaticism and low-IQ. These low-IQ people lack critical thinking skills to really be able to question their reality and they endup offloading all their thinking and world view to another person who they trust. This can be Obama, Trump, Hitler, Putin, etc.
It’s a very uncomfortable subject, but I think these low-IQ low-critical thinking people do enormous damage with their stupidity.

I agree that too many people want an idol to worship instead of a real politician, these same people also get obsessed with their favorite athletes or movie or pop stars and think they walk on water. I like to say that many Americans want a messiah to save them instead of a president to lead them, a lot of low IQ people cannot think critically about politics and American civics education doesn’t help.
I’m like my father and older brother with with politics, neither thinks politicians are any good and that most of them are crooks and thieves. Dad was a registered Republican because he thought they were the lesser of two evils, he’d say that Democrats don’t want you to make money and Republicans don’t want you to have fun.
My older brother is more libertarian than conservative since he’s an atheist who doesn’t date and has many gay friends, he thinks too many conservatives want to police people’s private lives and are more concerned about banning stuff than fixing the country. He could care less about abortion since he doesn’t date women and doesn’t see what’s the big deal with gay marriage since he has gay friends who are normal people, plus he’s a sometime weed smoker who works hard and is successful. Both my father and brother are high IQ types well read in history and political science, the Republicans cater to the dumbest elements of their base
