Please risk 3 minutes of your time. I ran for Congress in 2022 to propose a law that gives a substantial emotional advantage to countering Big Lies in Politics. My seldom viewed video explains how to rhetorically gut a liar without violating the First Amendment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3LVqJSLbZ1qq5I

And anyone who chooses a life of service not in politics is governed by politicians that by definition are unfit- they love the power snd compromise morals to get it. That value system is exactly the opposite of service- and yet it governs the life of those who serve.

[@coreyham3753]

Antony made a great point .... the Chump deficit in just 4 short years of 7.8 trillion is greater than the combined deficits of all presidents from George Washington to George W Bush. And yet somehow a significant number of americans somehow claim that Chump is a better steward of the economy and they were better off under Chump ..... madness and delusion.

That’s too benign. It implies that the liar can’t help themself because they’re ill. Lying is a conscious immoral choice. It’s evil. The expectation of morality is gone from American culture. No one is even surprised by immoral behavior anymore. We’ve been taught to expect it.

Lies are like fiction stories. Easier & more fun, to sell to people than reality. Just like books, I believe that people prefer story telling in general, regardless of, true or invented false stories. There is so much more to add & embellish, in fiction, in order to make an appealing scenario. I was always told, when I first arrive in the US, that, what ever you are selling, promoting or sharing, you’ve got to create or build up your concept on a story. So there, Politics needs Stories for the people to dream & believe…..? And DJT is the most qualified today plus he has no fear of ridicule .

Why does the truth in advertising law NOT apply to politics? Or even the news media for that matter.

[@levonlarson4048]

It used to apply to the news until Reagan repealed the Fairness Doctrine in 1985. Which led directly to the creation of Fox and now we're here

[@suzanneemerson2625]

Because it’s a truth in advertising law.

.... Thankfully, DJT is a dope.

[@suzanneemerson2625]

He believes he is the exception. That’s how ignorant he is.

[@chiclotzpottery474]

I find it amazing that you didn’t mention Rush Limbaugh as one of the biggest liars. At one point he was the most known radio talkshow host and he lied constantly. I believe the Trump saw that and said wow I wanna be that famous and so he took on Rush Limbaugh‘s method of lying and using hate to build his audience! To me Trump sounds like a newer version of lush Limbaugh. He even gave rush a medal of honor that’s how much he idolized him and his methods.

[@sallyhu5028]

Thank you for this video. As it turns out, you might be as good at this political discourse/YouTubing as you are at making money, Anthony. The 11-day stopover in the White House and being disinvited were probably the best things to happen to you ... and to an America that hungers for more decency.

My portfolio is now worth almost a million and I've realized that if a cryptocurrency hits the news, you're probably pretty late to the game.

4 arguments that move republicans and independents: Closing Arguments Aganst Trump Preference Effect Overall Preference Effect Independents [Republicans] Nearly half of Donald Trump's cabinet have refused to endorse him. When Trump learned during the Capitol riot that his supporters were threatening to kill his own vice president, he said 'so what?' and refused to do anything to ensure the vice president was safe. Republican governors, senators, and House members have all said the same thing: we can't give Trump another four years as president. +12 points from Republicans +14 Independents to Harris [Roe v. Wade] Donald Trump appointed the judges who overturned Roe vs. Wade. Since then, Trump abortion bans have been passed in 22 states and women are dying because they can't get the care they need. Now he wants to go further, with plans to restrict birth control, ban abortion nationvide, and even monitor women's pregnancies. Kamala Harris will protect our fundamental rights and freedoms, because the government should not be allowed to control women's personal medical decisions. +10 Republicans for +12 independents for Harris [Social Security] When Donald Trump was president, he tried to cut Medicare and Social Security. The reason Trump wants to cut Social Security and Medicare is so he can pay for tax cuts for corporations and the rich. Kamala Harris will protect Medicare and Social Security and put the middle class first. +6 Harris +6 Harris [Affordable Care Act) As president, Donald Trump tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act and health insurance protections for preexisting conditions. It elected president, he'll eliminate these protections, which ensure everyone can get health insurance. Kamala Harris will make sure Americans are covered whether or not they have preexisting conditions. +6 Republicans Harris +6 Independents For Harris. Nothing about his immorality or love of dictators moved the needle.

People have become so entrenched in their tribal identity that they just want to win no matter what. They don't care if it's a lie or a cheat. The same applies to any tribal group, especially religiously based tribes.

Good question for Anthony would be if he thinks that Kamala (if elected) would keep her promise of allowing fracking, or would do what she previously said: ban it. I'm a 100% independent voter here in Pennsilvania, hate Trump to hell, but my family's economy depends on fracking... so I'm leaning Trump because I know for sure he won't end it, but if I had a guarantee that at least Kamala is not lying about allowing fracking...
