Great strategy use fear to divide and conquer.

[AndogaSpock]

Fear mongering tactics is as old as politics!

0:18 - great book! sometimes, feels like it’s screaming “this is broken!” without offering even a whisper of how to fix it. Stunning stories, but leaves you holding the pieces, wondering what’s next.

[KJSvitko]

There are too many insensitive, uncaring bullies in the world.
Morals, ethics, compassion and empathy are needed for society to function.

It's not what the American people wanted Trump didn't get the popular vote in 2016. You could get make that claim for 2020 but not 2016.

Seriously!? I can't even with this channel anymore...smh

[harryiculus]

Being negative and having a platform that things are screwed up is not genius, it is simple and in line with the Fox News messaging for the past 30 years. It doesn't take a genius to parrot Fox News talking points and to redirect legitimate anger of the people away from the true causes of their grievances.

I'm so excited about the future but wary of the wrath

[stefanyuwono]

I'm trying to figure out if lex's comment section is filled with bots, or losers unable to accept their losses. The amount of gaslighting happening here is pretty impressive. Maybe they're trying to nudge lex the other way?

"gay to MAGA" was an amazing book!!!, really J D Vance??? you have a gay german master??? really J D??? wake up MAGA!!! Jesus!!!

[theSantiagoDog]

So eloquent while speaking such moronic drivel. I give him credit for that.

[hughbetcha]

Why laud someone who hoodwinks the masses? This behavior should be condemned not put up on a pedestal.

[tadah]

Why is it that all these podcasters and people he’s talking about like Peter Theil from Germany? Then we have space Karen from South Africa and this guy‘s parents, India, raised in kTexas, a right wing, calls himself a journalist. No wonder you guys wanna f**k it up for the rest of us. These are why we have a generation of young men who have been radicalized by people like this….. the Joe Rogan’s of the world …..

[Alexanderthenotsobad]

Is Saagar just becoming more odious by the minute. Talk about a poor winner. We're going to have to put up with this gloating from him and his ilk for at least 2 years... If only we had a progressive Hero on our side to lead the Dims until the midterms? Hmmm...

[TinLe]

Notice how stupid Saagar sounds with his faux intellectual conservatism, but when he is next to someone actually smart like Krystal he moderates himself.

[BlackBrownYellowWhite]

Get it together Lex. You’re better than this. Get some progressive voices for a change. Strong black woman or man who aint republican. I dare you! 🤓
