I love this. The guy who was reading names is the guy who trolls right wing dumb dumbs a lot. I forget his name, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him actually angry or that upset. Love it.

Walter something.

Walter Masterson! That’s his name.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video where he was legitimately that angry.

I thought that was him. He's great.

Traitor. Complicit. Treason.

Next time they might have a gun. These politicians need to start thinking of their futures because we are.

Many already have. These in person meetings and assemblies are becoming rarer because politicians on both sides are facing pushback and seeing the people they are hurting with their double-speak or downright lies. The problem is that instead of in person, they're doing virtual or telephone meetings, Twitch with the chat turned off. They can peddle their lies from the relative safety of their home or office and not have to face the consequences of their selfish actions.

He...did not expect that, looking at his face during that. How did he not expect that.

Because he clearly, deep down, believes that good is inherent in most people, and he was hoping it was enough to reach them with his message.
The look on his face is less in reaction to being assaulted, and more in heartbreaking betrayal by all those that simply sat there while it happened. While he spoke, while he was attacked, restrained, and removed illegally.
That look was his heart raging against the dying of the light.

Are you two talking about the same people? I think the person you replied to may have been talking about the rep.

Oh, my bad. I meant the protester. 🙇🏽♂️

Imagine if more Americans did this everywhere, not just influencers..

Off topic but I love that this is on loops.

All the democrats have to offer is killing you later, and expecting you to be grateful they let you live that long at all.

The ones like Suozzi need to go in November.

I love this guy. I haven't watched the video yet, so here it is, and I'm going to go watch it now

Walter Masterson, check out his videos. He was at the Capitol on Jan 6th, he goes to maga rallies dressed as them to interview people. I wish some of the people he goes with were on YouTube, but I think they're only on all the socials and I don't use them
Also if you know of other channels like this can you please share? I'd really appreciate some recommendations of activists
Jhex@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 208d
THIS is how you do it… anywhere they go
mrdown@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 208d
If you can't beat them shame them
D_C@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 207d
They feel no shame, and they never will.
Beating them is the better option ...may I suggest using something like a table leg or rubber hose to do it?

And then the feds arrested all the journalists who covered this.
