I didn't watch the video. I didn't vote for Trump, either. But the playbook the left used the previous 8 years was to call everyone who didn't think EXACTLY like them a bigot, a racist, or a sexist (among other things). Then they ran against a guy who backed those so called people. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

The far/alt-right is terrible, yes, but the majority of the left is becoming quite terrible as well.

Absolutely this.

I am an outsider to American politics, but I am beginning to understand more and more why Trump won. Had I been American I would have certainly not voted for Trump in 2016, had the election been today, I might have, not sure. His views (lies) about global warming and his promises about putting Clinton in jail would probably still be a turn-off for me - at least the latter turned out to just be a 'sick joke'.

The main reason Trump won and the reason he will win in 2020 is that the democrats allow less and less room for nuances in thinking. The radical left has a lot of power over the whole left in American politics. Any deviation from their mindset and you will be called all different kinds of things and will not be welcome in hollywood or a lot of other places, and a lot of 'reliable' media will quickly label you alt-right or something worse.

Also the whole victimization of black people (this includes black lives matter) and women that the radical left is practicing, along with the collective guilt put on white people (especially men) is extremely dangerous to the society.

If the moderate left in the US does not wake up and seperate itself from the political correct fanatics of the radical left, they will not stand a chance against republicans.

Some of the same issues are also seen in other western countries. One of the worst examples is Canada, which passed the Bill C-16, the most radical restriction on freedom of speech we have seen in any western country since WW2. Also UK suffers from left wing fanatism, especially in the media. Other western countries are doing better, but the problems are still deeply present.

I withdraw my comment about the canadian Bill C-16, which was based on a miss-representation of the bill. The bill had nothing to do with freedom of speech, and was infact a very important bill. I apologize for the stupid claim I made. I still stand by everything else I said.
