I hate these videos so much. It’s just an exercise in creating clips that pander to either side. The race to the chair is absolutely insane.
It is proven effective propaganda. Videos like this plaguing social media are what won Trump the election. Dems are playing catch up now.
Yeah, it's a fucking weird format. It's kind of funny to watch sometimes though, plus you get a bit of an insight of how these people think (well, lack of mostly).
