    I don't usually like videos like that, but that one was pretty good.

    Something to send our parents @CCorn

    How does he know I don't have a "No More Malarkey" flag waving on the back of my truck?

    And now the dude with the perfect goatee in all-black shadows is telling me *I'm getting hypnotized*?

    I declare "shennanigans".

    ...the gentleman's name is Matthew Cooke.

    ...he's an actor, filmmaker, and social activist. He's pretty well-known for commentaries like this.

    ...and on top of all that...
    ...his every word in this commentary is right.;)

    Nothing will wake them up other than their lives going to such a level of **** that they are forced to wake up.

    And too bad that I doubt more than 3 Republicans actually watch this video.

    Matthew Cooke is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

    Where can I get "No More Malarkey" flags for my truck? Never mind. They would probably get mt truck keyed.

    BTW great video. Should be listened to by trump lovers everywhere. Might even help deprogram a few of them.

    He'd get more Republicans to view it if he did it while driving his pickup truck and wearing a dirty John Deere baseball cap.

    He made that video to receive e-credit from democrats, not to actually change any republicans' minds. If the latter were his goal he would have used different terms. Immediately declaring Trump as their Tribal Warlord, for example, would bring up their defenses and shut down any prospect of a meaningful discussion.

    I shut it off just a minute or so into it because I hate these masturbatory videos. They help no one and only further entrench people into what they believed before. SNL in fact recently did a skit that was similar to this video with Beck Bennett playing the role of woke "actor"/"activist":

    I admit that SNL skit was the first thing I thought of when I saw that.

    Anyway it's depressing that it's taken this much to wake up Republicans and judging from opinion polls not all that many are woken up.

    Exactly. The video is just another smack down. It is based in fact unlike Trump smack down but it's just a smack down.

    he vast majority of Republicans aren't changing. This is an opportunity to reach out to the truly independent voter. Any real attempt to gain voters has to begin there. Its a not a large group of people but.That's where real opportunity lies.

    The other group to reach is the apathetic voters. Trump increased his total by 12MM and lost. If Democrats turnout Democrats win. Period

    Fail if it’s targeted at the right. Comes off as pandering to millennials and liberals.

    Too many big words and concepts for the GOP base.

    Also needs to be slowed down 25% to emulate a deeper voice.
