 @f0f121ac you means the Populist Nationalist (which is really what they are). The same reason why RJKJr, Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, Russel Brand, Greg Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard, and even Tucker Carlson is: there is nowhere else to go in the Two Party system in America. The Dems are ideologically Neolib and have their marching orders and their talking points memos and it has no space for either Nationalists or Populists. Do you agree? If you're Nat or Pop there's only YT and Fox and Podcasts. 
 @6d6ec790 what you’re saying is that in 2 party America the only place to go to be different is by breaking bad, cheating to win, disenfranchising voters, and becoming arch enemies of the Constitution and civil rights,  tearing down  the federal government and starting over with a system designed to allow them to hold power by pure force. And Trump , the megalomaniac of our time,  is their spiritual leader.

You walked right into this one:

The Republicans say this about the Democrats to, verbatim, ironically:

But with: "And Biden, the megalomaniac of our time, is their spiritual leader" 
 @f0f121ac
The fact that all y'all are saying the same extact thing about all y'all just makes me feel happy that America's fine, happy, healthy, safe, stable, and the rest is just Extremist Partisan Politics.  Phew.
