youd be very surprised how often that perspective is not shared by the average American, sadly.

I get a feeling that dudes legit too, which is the scary part.

but fuck him, I highly advise anyone in here to take the time to watch it. The RNC part is good, dont get me wrong, but if the length is too long watch the Kenosha part at like 10-12 minutes or something IIRC.

This argument appears illogical to me, therefore I'm going to make an equally illogical one and feel satisfied with how it sits in my brain?

Good man. A lot of dumb Americans love hearing people with British sounding accents talk shit about their country because it makes the them sound smart. The irony is they left their ruined nanny state ran countries to move here and ruin ours with their poisonous ideology.

i think its because they actually tend to know more about America than most Americans. Both our history and ongoing events.

i get youre frustrated we dont enjoy listening to uneducated folk ramble on about the first amendment they dont even understand, but thats mainly because you dont know anything about American ideology.

It really is amazing how every English person in America's opinion is "America should be exactly the same as England." And most of the time, they also hate England. That's not an individual thought, that's ideological possession.

They don't care about refuting anything Oliver is saying. They just want to get a rise out of rational people.

"...to reassure white people that they could vote republican without being racist"

i've encountered commentary suggesting that the gop's major electoral target is suburban white women, a slightly more socially moderate liberal but more fiscally conservative demographic as suburbanites tend to be - and with that in mind, oliver's claim holds water.

coincidentally, aoc's recently criticized the dnc establishment for for putting a lot of energy into targeting a similar demographic (white moderates) over others, seemingly overlooking the implications of such a strategy in swing states.

this also seemingly explains why the democratic party selected a ticket from the less progressive wing of the party - not that it has stopped the rnc from attempting to frivolously label the candidates as "radical".

If you guys haven't, you have to watch the full video or read the full article on Jacob Blake. The keypoints was that he got into a scuffle with the police, where multiple offers tazed him and had him on the ground but he broke free, walked away from them as they had their guns out demanding he comply with them, and then reached into his car before getting shot. He also had a knife in his hand which explains why the police kept following him at a distance while he strutted around his car instead of tackling him back down to the ground.

This is important it explains why the police acted in the manner they did and why a lot of people don't believe this protest for Blake. Even his mother apologized to Trump over it on CNN.

Same for Rittenhouse, he's not going to go to jail for manslaughter or murder.
