Politicians call for calm while telling you to 'fight, fight, fight' - Episode 499 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley
Manage episode 438638739 series 2803827
Election season... er, year... er, four years is in full swing. Jeremy Bradley talks about how the American political campaign is never ending. The next campaign starts right after the latest president is sworn in. JB explains how, as a Canadian, politics is a completely different vibe. Canucks barely know when the next election is, let alone who the candidates are in their neighborhood. Americans, are hating their neighbors and getting into family fights and excommunicating those who disagree with them. JB notes that while American politicians call for calm in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt, candidates are still encouraging voters to 'fight, fight, fight.' As JB asks, "How is that ever a non-violent word in this context?"
