A Trump supporter is asked why he doesn’t support Ukraine, and changes his mind after some discussion.

1. A Trump supporter with a mind open to other viewpoints. Never thought I’d see that.

2. Opinions and politics aside, I like that he at least seemed to open minded…it can never hurt to talk things out and get the other persons perspective.

3. u/savevideo

4. I wish he mentioned that the far largest slice of the pie is our outdated equipment that we already paid for, and pay billions to maintain. The (R)’s think we’re handing over hundreds of billions in cash.

5. Biden needs to damn well talk about how little is actually being spent here in percentage terms, he’s totally lost control of the narrative on this.

6. 27 minutes worth of the total annual US federal Gov spending. That is all the US military support for Ukraine amounts to, 27 minutes worth of the annual spending.

7. He at least has enough brains to think about an alternate POI, and the truth.

8. It strikes me that many republican leaning citizens seem to disagree with giving aid to Ukraine, simply because Biden/Democrats have been the ones to do it – because they were in the position of responsibility when it happened. Do a lot of people genuinely disagree with an action purely because it was a particular party that did it – would this person still believe what he does if Trump were to endorse it? When presented with simple unbiased questions, it seems to be quite obvious that, on the face of it, supporting Ukraine is a good idea… I can only imagine that algorithms and news channels aren’t exposing a lot of people to the kind of questions and truths that he’s being asked here.

9. I can’t watch the video right now but I’ve seen a lot of the MAGA folks change their mind, and then change them right back, a few hours of fox news, a couple conspiracy videos from michael flynn later and they are protesting at the school boards over ~~CRT~~, ~~trans athletes~~, books

10. Salt of the Earth. Otherwise known as a moron.

    He gets no credit. If he starts out as a Trump supporter then sorry, he’s a racist fascist piece of shit, so FUCK YOU.

11. I commend this young man for going out there and helping change minds.

12. Sadly, the problem is that we do not know anything about our military spending so when we discuss billions of dollars of course its concerning. Fear of overspending is a legit concern, therefore thry hype up things and downplay what equiptment where the money comes from and would go otherwise ect ect

13. Not quite sure if EVERY topic has a middle ground. Rape for instance.

14. This is how it needs to be publicly explained. Most rational people should understand

15. The fact that every person you talk to that opposes supporting the Ukrainians defend themselves against the Russians, instantly spits out Russian propaganda shows how effective russias fifth column is. Their online efforts are paying big dividends. The traitors in the US Republican Party would never be so bold if the didn’t have the support of people fooled by manipulation spoon fed to them by social media.

16. I’m glad the video ended before the lady in the red shirt started talking.

17. Trump’s foreign policy was awful because it was unplanned, spur-of-the-moment, whatever he felt like that day plan. Whoever complimented him most got the most back, like India who held a parade for him. Every other president had comprehensive plans and let experts advise them, Trump thinks he is always the smartest person in the room and barely listens to his advisors.

18. This how you talk to a trumper. Don’t attack their intelligence, don’t call them names, don’t get loud, and ask questions to keep them engaged. This is exactly how I get my 12 year old son to do his schoolwork.
