YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Members of the “alt right” are losing faith in Donald Trump and warning that his entire schtick is making people think twice about ANY ideas that the Republican Party has to offer. The cracks are getting larger and larger within the Republican Party, as more and more people realize that Trump is an authoritarian leader who has no idea how to actually govern or even be a leader. This is going to cost the Republican movement big time in the very near future, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

New York Times columnist, Michelle Goldberg wrote an article this week talking about the fact that you're starting to see members of the alt-right that are abandoning Donald Trump because he has been, as she talks about in the article, just a disaster, for lack of a better word. Everything Trump has done has been a disaster. And I think that's actually putting it mildly constitutional crisis is actually the term people are using this week. And I don't disagree with that, but Goldberg noticed a trend starting to develop among, amongst some of these talkers of the alt-right, one of them being Alex Kada who said, quote, the vibe is shifting against conservatives as quote, the cumulative IQ of the right is looking worse than the market.

Now, I'm not familiar with Alex Kuchta, but it says here that, uh, you know, she kind of gets into the weird right-wing internet subcultures and mainstream conservatism. She hosted men's rights activists and purveyors of scientific racism, neoreactionary online personalities with handled like raw egg nationalist. But if this individual is out there saying like, Hey, Trump's doing such a bad job that it's making the entire conservative movement look stupid, then I would say that's a pretty big development. That's a pretty big crack forming in this alt-right subculture. And Goldberg points out, that's not the only one. She said several people who once appeared to find transgressive right-wing ideas, scintillating are having second thoughts as they watched Donald Trump's administration put those ideas into practice. Another one of them was a philosophy professor, Nathan Ness, who Goldberg described as a, uh, race realist, fixated on group differences in iq. But he recently put on, uh, Twitter that quote all over the world, almost everyone with more than half a brain, is looking at the disaster of Trump and drawing the very reasonable conclusion that right wing anti woke parties are incapable of effective governance. Um, I, I, I don't disagree with you. The anti woke stuff may have driven some people to the polls, but at the end of the day, it really had no impact on their lives at all. That anti woke stuff that we saw in every single conservative ad last year proved to be nothing but BS and the economy got worse. And people are realizing, wait a minute, I was duped by the BS and now I'm getting screwed and my dollar doesn't go as far as it did

A year ago under Biden, who I hated because of DEI and wokeness and all that. Meanwhile, as these conservatives are out there admitting like, Hey, the anti woke stuff, uh, uh, really kind of screwed over the country, you got Bill Maher, who in his show last week said that the, uh, woke people are making the Democratic Party irrelevant. Like Bill Maher is still on this crusade against woke when nobody's talking about it, but him conservatives are admitting, yeah, we duped people with that and then we all got screwed. And Bill Maher's out there like, well, the Democrats are totally irrelevant 'cause they're nothing but woke. I'm so smart and smug.

You are the only person talking about woke Bill. The only one. And the ones who had been previously talking about it are now admitting that, yeah, we used it to dupe people and then we all got screwed. If anyone has become irrelevant, bill, it's you. Yeah. You may still have your show, you may still have viewers, but your beliefs, the idiotic things you say every week are the most irrelevant talking points I think I have ever seen from anyone. But again, bill Morris side, the cracks are forming.
