Is there more video before this? I would like to know the context. I don’t want to end up like a blind republican by following random cuts without finding the context. As we all know, context matters.
C-span has the line as “War in democracy”, and tbh that’s what I hear too. Context isn’t much of a factor, it’s just a generic Trump ramble:
For decades, you watched as a corrupt political class in our nation’s capitol looted your money, trampled on your dignity and pushed their radical agenda into every aspect of your lives. You know it very well. But in 2016, you voted to stand up to those liars, losers, crooks and creeps, and you elected an outsider as your president. And it was about America first. We want to put our country first. They haven’t done that in a long time, but we did it for four years and that’s why we did so well. That’s why it was one of the great presidencies, they say. Even the opponents sometimes say that he did very well, I have to say, “Take it back,” his people scream. His people say “Take it back.” From that day on our opponents, and we had a lot of opponents, but we’ve been waging an all-out war in (on?) American democracy. You look at what they’ve been doing, and becoming more and more extreme and repressive. They have just waged an all-out war with each passing day.
They say we become numb to his rhetoric, but I am still astonished by the incoherency of his speeches. The excerpt above is just a cluttering of words that don't really say anything.
These aren’t the kind of people you reason with, or educate or enlighten. These aren’t the kind of people you can present evidence or verified/variable facts to. These aren’t the kind of people you campaign against nor outvote.
These are the kind of people you stop.
You have to, because they will leave you no other choice other than capitulation.
