Not a short video, but I think worthwhile for anyone interested in the topic. 

I'll give you one example of what they discuss.  The right winger, who says he is an ex-cop , brags about how he tells everyone Michelle Obama is actually a man. 

He's probably fairly representative of a certain type of person that many of us know.

I visit the 'Young Turks' often.  The program is on point, current.

Unfortunately, Uygur is wasting his time to discuss anything with anyone who doesn't believe in anything remotely bordering on fact.

Hate to bring up an old truth, but Josef Goebbels knew that if you state a lie repeatedly and never waver from that lie, that lie for many becomes at least plausible and at best for others, the truth.

This particular guy was evidently a Chicago cop at one time, and some of the stuff he says about policing does make some, if not enough, sense. But when he talks about conspiracies and other far right nonsense he sounds like an idiot. These type of people are not as much of a numerical minority as some people might think.

But didn't you go all in on the baseless Trump-Putin "conspiracy"?

You regularly bring a toothpick to a gunfight.

Don't care what he says.  Watch what they do and not what they say.  Conservative governance has never done anything the man said.

I think that this could have been a lot shorter: "Why Do I say things that people will be offended at??? Because I am an asshole and I like offending and shocking people."

I think the guy with the white hair was hampered by his ego and his personality,  -  he was not entirely devoid of intelligence but clearly puts what intelligence he has to dubious (to put it mildly) uses.
