It's not about Republican or Democrat, it never has been, it's about the military complex & the corporate complex... Trumps backers are the military complex, politicians backers are the lobbyists, I.e the corporate complex. The people don't matter.

If any of that were true and the people didn't matter he would have been re-elected.

His appeal to most Republicans was exaggerated , he's the only president since records began that never had an approval rating above 50% at any time during his tenure.

Not necessarily, the corporate complex controls the narrative, it also has the power to manipulate what people see & suppress what people say (censorship is not a conspiracy).. it's pretty clear imo, look who is taking who's side.

Flipping that coin, look at Trumps main interests, rebuilding the military, SpaceForce... and of course the bail out of one of Americas most influential military companies... Boeing.

You've heard of Fox News right? Fox News has been the most watched news channel in the States every year for 20 years.

Saying he'd rebuild the military was just a way to get the average American's attention just like building the wall. You think somebody who dodged the draft cares about the average grunt? As for supporting the Boeing bailout any president would have done that, they're one of America's biggest military contractors.

Biden's discipline regime already under the spotlight for not immediately firing a press secretary for threatening a reporter. That privilege was reserved for Kayleigh. :)

The point of the video wasn't the advert at the beginning :lol: made me chuckle that the advert got more of a response from you than the actual documentary (head space rent free joke comes to mind). I don't listen to Farage for financial advise, but he seems to be doing alright for himself & considering he's a millionaire I doubt a 10k bet will have him losing any sleep.... that's almost as nonsensical as saying we shouldn't listen to advise from professional traders because they lose 20% of the time... but without considering the loss is relative to either net worth or past/future gains.

😂😂😂 Kinda makes me think 💭. People didn’t know who they were voting for, or the majority. Just that they were voting against Trump.

He was vice president for 8 years, well measured and clearly has a heart. I'm pretty sure people knew who they were voting for. But or right in that most people who voted for him would have voted for me, if I was running against Trump. :D

You could have watched the presidential debate and still not know who Biden was - he barely had a part. ;)

I think he was until the Pandemic 😷 hit mate.

You can pick holes in anything, and the media crucified Trump and he said some bang ya head against the wall things. Plus Republicans are never favoured by the lamestream media. Look at the history of Republican POTUS.
