Graham Hughes's American Eulogy

[@Rai_Te]

Now that I heard it, I recognised, that I was thinking this for a while now. Thank's Graham, for expressing my thoughts so accurately for me.

[@lotiloti101]

Puts my thoughts into words. Spot on 😢

[@ulicadluga]

I agree with your sentiment, Graham. I feel sad for America. I pledged allegiance as a schoolboy for five years. But, America is still rich - and Britain is poor. We must keep an eye on our country and our democracy - watch our politicians and our civil servants.

[@SevenBee-q2j]

A handful of Americans are wealthy... Most have moved to indigent ... They've lied to themselves for 248 yrs ... An awful, Dystopian country. Indeed, one of the worst.

[@nichotto]

Our civil servants are a problem. The real problem is our media and its refusal to fact check and false equivalence.

[@paulewen387]

Well said Graham. The Shining City on a Hill, is now a tarnished shadow of its former self.

[@nowster]

Apart from that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?

[@anthonymitchell6675]

Well said Graham. A lot of food for thought. !

[@w-james9277]

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Happy 2025 everyone!

Very powerful film Graham thankyou

[@stephnewman1357]

So it's not just me who feels that it's the end of the US. I don't think Trump will do a term and go, hasn't he said there will be no more voting? I hope the UK just doesn't go the same way. Truly worried.

[@nichotto]

Unfortunately there are enough numpties who think Farage is the Second Coming. I would worry. We really need to start educating children better if we are to have a hope.

[@michaelbaynham5107]

The Revolution will be televised.

[@omaha2pt]

You nailed it. This is the future I see coming for America. They say Empires last around 250 years, and then they crumble away.

[@edmccoy5212]

Finally....a message of hope.

[@dagatha3982]

My thoughts exactly. And I am worried about quite a few countries in Europe too.

[@ftumschk]

Farage has offered to assist the Govt in trade negotiations and intellligence sharing with the Trump administration. He's said "more fool Labour" if they don't take him up his offer. God help us!

[@patrickh8602]

They had a good run, tried their best. Every empire comes to an end, no good deed goes unpunished and other meaningless sayings we trot out on occassions like this. America, you were close but.... No Banana.

[@diztracked]

Nice one Graham. Keep up the good work 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

[@timeoftheyear5230]

Wow. Merry Christmas and happy new year, Graham.

[@RH-D]

Thanks! That was fun, poetic, dramatic, and a little bit rap. I appreciate you taking the time to make it. "Oh well!" Happy Holidays to you, Graham. Go easy. And if you can't go easy, go as easy as you can.

[@GerryMcGarry]

I do like you optimism.

[@davidspencer5380]

Don't hold back mate!

[@glenmcculla6843]

Best "Oh Well" since Fleetwood Mac.

[@seanmaguire8250]

Great monologue Graham, so much to mull over. I think that Trump is dangerous to US and world stability but I reckon that he'll have to back down on a lot to things, his tiny hands may be some what tied.

[@petergaskin1811]

Sooner or later, the Republican Party will come to realise the danger that demented Donny poses. When that happens his remaining time on this earth could be measured in seconds. No more than that.

Looking forward to the break up Russia gets Alaska back The Louisiana Purchase is returned to France Britian regains control of the original 13 States The Spanish & Mexicans reclaim what was theirs

[@roderickjoyce6716]

Er, who about the people who had been living there for thousands of years before an assortment of Europeans stole it?

[@petergaskin1811]

Don't want them, you can keep them thank you very much.

[@jarlhedberg435]

All invaders and their offspring from 1492 and on expelled.

[@One-Goth]

Love this.

The American Dream... you have to be asleep to believe it! .....'George Carlin'

[@katrinabryce]

The best case scenario is something along the lines of the Portuguese revolution.

[@patrickmccarthy5462]

You're a poet, Graham. Or a prophet.

[@andyf4292]

I wonder if We'll get American refugees?

[@politicssocialuk]

Many Americans are already leaving or becoming "internally displaced", moving from red states to California, New York, New England etc.

[@mariabengtssonviking]

​@@politicssocialuk we can always build a wall..... 😮😊😢 We in Europe have to start fighting for democracy, freedom and equality, because the Oligarchs have been here to, influencing politicians and businesses. Capitalism without a moral compass is piracy and oligarchy. Stay strong and protect the weak Slava Ukraine from Sweden 🖖🇸🇪✊🇺🇦 Tuck Frump, Putin, their Enablers and Oligarchs like Elon Musk, Farage and Tucker Carlson

[@sardav160479]

Good evening

[@West1Think]

New viewer here. I agree with him totally, but I'm not too sure this will always be the case. We shall see !

[@cosidolyang4215]

I used to think Graham was prone to hyperbole, but he's been right every time so far. So now with the advent of Trump 2.0, I think that's exactly what we will see. The question is, what can we do about it?

[@West1Think]

​@@cosidolyang4215 Try and Survive it. The Democrats were awful too. But what's the bigger plan for us all now that they know how powerless we are to stop them. The race is on & its not looking good

[@mfmf100]

Kind of ironic you’re worried who Trump might pardon considering.

[@paulhammond6978]

You mean, you think Biden pardoning Hunter is a comparable level of sleaze?
