He has given a truly impressive speech. A call to arms.
How to manipulate malleable people in one easy lesson.
Say something that's true, put loads of emotion on it and ignore most of the reality.
"We're a nation begging Venezuela, Saudi Arabia for oil"... yeah, and who went to Saudi Arabia begging for oil? Trump. Who then let Saudi Arabia blockade another country for two years (they stopped just after they realized Trump had lost) just so the US could get their oil?
"We're a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving behind dead soldiers" "eighty five billion dollars of the finest military equipment"

2017, 14 deaths, 2018, 14 deaths, 2019, 21 deaths, 2020, 11 deaths.
Trump saw 60 US fatalities in Afghanistan. Biden stopped this. He had 13 deaths, which is lower than three out of four years Trump was there.
Trump also spent about $50 billion per year. So, in fact, leaving Afghanistan with all this equipment behind is CHEAPER in 4 years for Biden than what Trump did in four years.
Afghanistan: What has the conflict cost the US and its allies?
"We're a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country"
Is Trump saying he'd have gone to war in the Ukraine against Russia?
"We're a nation that has weaponized the law enforcement against the opposing political party" "we've never seen anything like it" (really, Bill Clinton????)
Like, the opposing political party isn't doing anything wrong then?

Then we can look at Bill Clinton, he was NOT a Republican.
"We're a nation that no longer has a free and fair press"
The US has a "free press". Twitter is free to do as it likes. Trump gets heard. He can start his own newspaper, start his own online media if he chooses to do so.
As for "fair press". When the fuck was the US press ever "fair"?
"fake news is about all you get"
Should I bring up all the lies Trump has spouted? Like for example in this video which is mostly "fake news".
"we're a nation where free speech is no longer allowed"
Fuck me, go to China and make a whiny video about how you don't like the government and see how long you last. He's literally using his free speech to make this video and NO ONE HAS STOPPED HIM.
Twitter is NOT THE US GOVERNMENT. Does this guy not understand what freedom of speech is? It's not about protecting yourself from Twitter. It's not about being able to say what you want, whenever you want, wherever you want without repercussion from non-US government people.
Christ. Anyone who agrees with this shit...... needs to take a long hard look at themselves. I can't go on, there's so much nonsense in this video, and people who are manipulated by this crap......
