His speech is moving, it’s worth watching it in its entirety.
A dire warning in a compassionate style
Trump, the four-time-indicted presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is “the opioid of all opioids, an easy cure for what some believe is the solution to our myriad pains and problems,” Burns said.
But with Trump in office “you end up re-enslaved with an even bigger problem, a worse affliction and addiction,” he predicted.
“Do not be seduced by easy equalization. There is nothing equal about this equation,” said Burns. “We are at an existential crossroads in our political and civic lives. This is a choice that could not be clearer.”
Ken Burns Civil War documentary came out when I was in high school and quickly became one of my all time favorite docos. But I remember Columbia University historian Barbara Fields in it and she said something to the effect of how fragile democracy was and that the war could still be lost. My 15 year old self thought it was an over exaggeration at the time. How wrong I was…
Not sure Trump gives two shits about Ken Burns
Kudos, Ken Burns! Everyone needs to realize that we will need to take a side during fascist times. Thankfully, most Americans are not fascists/MAGA.
MAGA morons don’t know who Ken Burns is because he’s never been on a reality show or daytime TV.
The relevant remarks start around 13:00.
As someone who has listened to hundreds of hours of Ken Burns documentaries, when Ken Burns tells you shits fucked, shit is fucked. This oughta perk up everyone’s ears.
Thank you for showing your true morals and integrity!
I wonder if men in the South who think the world of Ken Burns might start to listen?
Ken Burns’ 10-part Vietnam doc is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Soundtrack by Trent Reznor. Includes personal stories with interviews of American vets, ARVN vets, and Vietcong and NVA vets.
Though he said it to a sepia toned montage while old timey music played.
As a Ukrainian American, holy shit do I respect and adore Ken Burns. I’ve always been fascinated by real, “ugly” history lessons and boy does he deliver. I only wish he did a documentary covering Ukraine with Tim Snyders expertise.
Ben Franklin approves.
Rhetorical question: Why are so many high powered politicians/businessmen/military officials throwing out warnings like crazy?! Why aren’t they DOING anything about this?! Your average person doesn’t care in the slightest if all you’re gonna do is warn me then step back and let it happen.
