1:40 before you tell me I’ll guess. Uneducated, rich, or racist

— @Just-Saiyan00

Why is anyone still a Republican in 2026? In this video, I argue that every person who still identifies with the Republican Party ultimately falls into one of three categories. I examine the current state of Republican politics, the MAGA movement, and Donald Trump's influence on conservative ideology to explain why millions of Americans continue to support a party that I argue has consistently failed to improve the lives of its own voters.

Using data, historical context, and political analysis, I discuss Republican policies on the economy, healthcare, immigration, education, foreign policy, and civil liberties while examining the broader direction of American politics. I also explore the relationship between wealthy donors, corporate interests, culture war politics, and the modern conservative movement, along with the role that media and political messaging play in shaping public opinion.

Even if I'm in Honors ELA, I fear I might be illiterate, and I might be easily manipulated to propaganda or some shit. (I fell for him in 2024)

Whether you agree or disagree with my conclusions, this video is intended to be a comprehensive examination of the Republican Party in 2026 and the ideas driving contemporary US politics.

RACISM, SEXISM AND FASCISM, THOSE ARE THE 3 REASONS!!!!!

06:15 The Republican Base

Republican party is far from dead. MAGA will be a thing of the past when Trump is gone. A Democrat will win the presidency in 2028 because of Trump's buffoonery. Plus many will have forgotten how invasive the policies of the Democrat party are to the consumer. The problems with the broken southern border during Democrat administrations will also be ignored. We the people are not smart enough to develop a system that awards us a president based on qualifications, ethics, integrity, intelligence, and humility. We can't develop a system that does not give Commander In Chief power to an elected civilian who won a popularity contest.

There's a reason why Iran has been releasing propaganda videos using Legos and Tom & Jerry memes. They are speaking to the child-like education level of the MAGA right.

Let's be honest, many people are over conservative leadership and moderate leadership; they just haven't quite reached the SNAPPED point, but we're getting there, especially once the big beautiful bill takes effect in 2027 and 2028

The South is also the most religious part of the US. Authoritarianism appeals to fundamentalist Christians because their God is a cruel authoritarian who threatens to punish those who don't worship him. Just like Trump.

@fr57ujf

Agree 100%.. but now let's also show the Democrats since Clinton. Nafta, don't ask, don't tell, .bombing of Serbia (wag the dog), Obama not helping main street or punish culprits of 2008 crisis, Pelosi and Schumer and all before who contributed to the demise of the American Dream with their Neoliberal idiotic policies.. Everything Republicans did, they did it with Democrats help and contribution...

Even if/when Trump completely burns the country and the constitution to the ground, takes away every right we have, cancels elections, and sends the military into are city's, they will always blindly follow. That's all they know. It's a part of them now. It's no longer about being right or wrong; or admitting the truth. It's who they are now. Like a drug addiction, they think everyone else is the problem, lying to themselves so deeply that they can't admit it, can't reason for it. Republicans base could be on fire and Republican politicians, influencers, Fox News, or Trump says they are not.....and as they burn saying "Trust me, you'll be fine" and they would wait for death with a smile.

No more of a failure than the Nazis were in 1933 now maybe later on when they take us to war we lose our war maybe do a story but I think they'll settle down for controlling the rest of the country for the next thousand years it sounds like I've heard that before

That last clip of Kamala shows exactly why she lost: She's mimicking the language of Trump. "The most lethal fighting force..."

Civilized people don't talk like that. Of course it's possible to have a strong military without overtly threatening to kill people. That was utterly stupid of her. We wanted - and NEED - an anti-Trump, not a Trump Lite.

A lot of the people I know who voted Trump have either deeply regretted it or are coping saying "Just wait" "it'll get better". And the worst part of all of this is Republicans will do a soft rebrand after Trump. Find some new right they want to take away from a marginalized group and people will vote for it.

Inflation was high under democrats too, and they were printing money for coropations and oligarchs, whicg rised prices for population in exchange for AI and data centers, and new industrial leap of a superpower. Corruption is same for both republicans and democrats. American soft force WASN’T working for a long time because America didn’t proved it for a long time, and what Trump did there is right - Trump destroyed Maduro dictatorship, making Venezuela more dependent on USA and changing its government a little bit. War with Iran is a capitalist oligarch war that started for the same reasons Russia invaded Ukraine - in 1979 there was a revolution, a coup in Iran, and Iranians simply took by force American oil production corporations, worth of hundreeds of billions dollars back in 1979. And USA was revenging Iran for stealing American money and property by economic blockade, while Iran built a religious fanatic dictatorship and lived in extreme poverty, trying to make money from American-made oil production they have stolen. The same story was between Russia in Ukraine - in Soviet era Russia invested a lot of money into Ukrainian economy, and after the collapse of USSR, Russia built a mafia state that isn’t responsible in front of the law, while West gave Eastern Europe a chance to live in the economic system based on rules, constitution and private property rights protection, and after Ukrainian oligarchs made 2 pro-Western coups in 2004 and 2014, stealing money from Russia, Russia responded. This is all about big money, private property, assets and oligarchs. A capitalism. America defends its economic interests in the World, yeah, Trump showed this to the World, while paying high price in money, and due to drone tech development war against Iran failed - the religious fanatic regime didn’t fell despite death of its leadership, and Trump wants to make a huge deal out of it - Saudi Arabia will get nukes, Iran will get its money back, China will have less oil, and Americans will probably get part of their Iranian oil industry back. Trump can be judged that he failed like a loser and lost the war, but starting this war was a right logic for capitalist oligarchic state that tries to secure its interests in the World stage. Tariffs were also a step to force production back to America, and because of the war and military spending, medicare, farmers and consumer protection were decreased, so the RICHEST people on Earth, Americans, will be less rich, but still richest in the World, while the debt will increase less - what you people don’t understand, is that ALL people are greedy, you always want more money, more medicare, more of everything, while it is impossible to give everything to everybody without getting in debt - America have debt problem for decades, American debt is already 40 trillion dollars. So the country is simultaneously decreasing social spending, while needs money for war to defend its interests and show force, to show the World that nobody can take American money and properties by coup, like Iranians did in 1979. Also America had illegal immigration problem with Black and Latin people illegally crossing border and becoming a mobsters, r%pers and murderers, selling dr%gs and etc, and these illegal immigrants who doesn’t work, doesn’t pay taxes and spend tens of thousands of dollars per each person from taxpayer money in democratic states which welcome illegal immigrants, need to be sent from USA to their homeland. And ICE is doing right thing to departure illegal immigrants, none of normal society lets tribal animalistic people entering their country and make 30% of population of it - just look at England, where illegal immigrants are r%ping girls without police bothering about, while white men get arrested and replaced. This is a madness, what democrats are doing with massive illegal immigration of third Worlders. With regard to Russia - Russian economy is running on selling oil and gas. While Biden was president and democrats were in charge, America was afraid of high oil prices, and it was actually Biden, and actually democrats, who prohibited Ukraine from deep strikes on Russian oil and port infrastructure. While Trump literally destroyed Russia - Trump allowed Ukraine to conduct a deep strikes on Russian ports and oil refineries, and Russia is dying now economically with severe gas shortages and losing few billion dollars of oil exports each month. Also Trump sanctioned China and India for buying Russian oil and they stopped doing it, while American and European militaries started to arrest Russian cargo ships with oil. So basically it were democrats playing on Russian side, and Trump did for the defeat of Russia much more than Biden, destroying the main engine of Russian economy - oil industry, and after Iran war, Putin started to block internet in Russia, also there will be a mobilization soon, Russia is on verge of collapse like late USSR thanks to Trump and republicans, while democrats were afraid of high oil prices and allowed Russia to sell its oil and exist, continuing the war.

So what can be said about current American administration? America had serious inflation, debt and immigration problem before the republicans. Debt problem was because jealous American population, richest people on the Planet, always wanted more and lived in debt, the only solution to not live in debt is cutting off social spending. When democrats will come back in 2026 and 2028, I am ready to bet that they will NOT increase social spending back))) So all that nonesence that Trump is evil because he decreased social spending - I am ready to bet that when democrats will come back, they will NOT roll back this decrease, they will be praising their victory and doing bad things for people like republicans. And then you will again hate them. You learn nothing. Also Trump defeated Venezuela and Russia, made Europe fear America and comply more for American economic demands, while continuing democratic AI industrial revolution, and defending American corporate and oligarch interest in Iran, which means national interest, because in last 300 years humanity lives in the paradigm where corporate interest is national interest, this is called capitalism. War in Iraq, war in Vietnam, war in Ukraine - it all started for economic reasons. Also Trump stopped massive arrival of wild animalistic third Worlders into the main country of Earth. What I can say is that he is doing everything right in accordance with capitalist system, while making people more poor, yes, but this is what capitalism is, when democrats will come to power, they will NOT do better, they will do even worse and then lose, you Americans doesn’t learn that, right? This is a repeating cycle - republicans are doing bad, lose, democrats win on ressentment, democrats doing bad, lose, and cycle repeats. The problem is not about democrats or republicans, the problems is about state-oligarch union.

I’m a life long Republican, I first voted for Reagan back in the 80s, had been voting Republican except for Bush Sr the second time after his read my lips lie. I’m proud of myself for not voting for Trump the first time, and after seeing how incompetent he was, I voted straight Democrat in 2020 and 2024. This current crop of Republicans are cowards or criminals, until every single one of this current group is voted out or put in jail, I will never vote for any Republicans again.

Eisenhower was the last great Republican President. He tried to keep the Republican party centrist, but the far right wing, which was being populated by Southern Stratagy push of the GOP to get all of the racist voters that the Democratic party was becoming to progressive to entice their vote from any longer. This change can be seen in crystal clear detail in the Party switch of Sen Strom Thurmond from the DNC to the GOP.
