This dude is basically indistinguishable from any reactionary conservative at this point.
Citations Needed did an episode about this. He basically is completely convinced that LA is a lawless hellscape and we need more cops and bigger prisons to fill with as many homeless peopleas possible. He is even in favor of sweeps of homeless encampments.
Adam Johnson wrote this article too if you're a reading-type.
TYT basically has a segment that is the same as "the knockout game" segment from Breitbart where they cherry-pick black on white assaults and say "See! They're coming for you and your family".
He believes that this lawlessness is caused by bail reform because we're allowing pre-trial release of these people without them having to post a cash bail (i.e. not denying them innocent until proven guilty because they're poor).
He doubled down on his positions during a Thanksgiving debate with his nephew Hasan Piker.
It's sad that this is how the largest "left wing" media outlet in the US is being run but ultimately unsurprising. The guy also does union-busting.
TYT sucks now and used to be only OK radlib stuff, started to inch left but stopped and has swung right in the past half year for some reason - IDK because I haven't watched it in years.
But what they're talking about is that when a president gets elected, his party ALWAYS eats shit 2 years later. Almost every time. The only exceptions were:
The right is absolutely crying and pissing over those midterms. Right wingers who say "but no we got the house" are getting shut down by other right wingers. The Republicans are about to have an extremely thin margin that will allow the Democrats to sometimes literally ram laws through when they happen to have more people show up to work that day. And I don't know if a party has ever gained senate seats after their president won.
I know what he's talking about, but accepting and working from that framework excuses the Democrats for being so shitty that people won't vote for them to continue having power. Like that's not a law of nature it's a pattern because people generally hate both parties.
