To anyone thinking “we survived one term of Trump, how bad can another one be?”

Read this:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

And then read this:https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2022/dec/us-maternal-health-divide-limited-services-worse-outcomes

A lot of us straight up didn’t survive one term of Trump

Video not available outside the USA, and yes, the rest of the world is very worried about Trump getting back into power.

It’s available in my non-US country. Probably there’s some local deal wherever you are (edit: using a restrictions checker app, the link is only blocked in Canada, UK, Australia, NZ, and Iceland, and available everywhere else)

They also go out of their way to put up whole episodes for non-US viewers (these are not available in the US) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCRySbsLKiA

Just… Why? Why make it avait everywhere EXCEPT Canada, UK, Australia, NZ… I hate regional blocking, fuck everything about it. Yeah, yeah, VPN might fix that, but why do I need to fuck arout to get the same as everyone else?

Thanks for checking. I’m in NZ, and the link you posted is also blocked here.

I guess it’s because Sky TV ( branded as ‘neon’) owns the rights to that show in NZ so if you want to watch it you have to pay them money

He said he’d be a dictator in day 1. How many dictators ever gave up power voluntarily? He’s going full fascist jan 21 if he wins.

This could literally be the last real election the US ever has.

No, no, you don’t get it, letting fascism win is Making A Moral Stand. I have been assured of this many times on here.

His voice is too annoying for me to listen too, unfortunately.

That’s a shame cause he is by far the best legacy from Jon’s Daily Show and HBO money lets him do all kinds of wacky shit

Yeah I’m so glad HBO gives him so much room. He’s able to go after people who would otherwise keep him tied up in court. I always miss the Colbert Report but this guy, who is definitely Bill Maher, is my other favorite.
